Mackenzie, secretary, Utah chapter, American Mining congress, said: In order to make metal mining successful, three divisions of the industry must be coordinated: 1. Mining the known ore reserves in such manner as to yield the greatest return. 2. Finding and developing new ore reserves sufficient to replace those depleted by operations. 3. Retaining the capital now in the industry and obtaining new capital for expansion and improvements. "The first division requires the employment of suitable equipment, methods, technical skill and labor. It includes the entire purpose of the industry as a business, and the distribution of the wealth thus produced is wide. The second division, finding and developing of new ore reserves, determines the life of the industry. It is, therefore, of vital importance and is the one most hazardous to capital. The third division, retaining the capital now in the industry and obtaining necessary new capital, of course implies reasonable assurance of the return of the capital and interest upon it while employed in the industry, and also that those having charge of the property are making proper provision for future operations. These and other circumstances peculiar to the industry demand that earnings which would seem large in another business are conservative, proper and necessary to maintain mining. And mining must be maintained to perpetuate modem hours of ilectricity a year, the completely electrified home of the future will use over 4,500. This may seem highly fanciful. But when the electrical progress of the past 20 years is considered, such future expansion is little more than orderly development. Few homes today aro scientifically illuminated, as are few streets. Electric power in industry unimagined possibilities. Possibly the greatest of all fields will lie in the electrification of rural arena. Extensive experiments have proven beyond a doubt the economy and efficiency of electric power when applied to farm duties. And electric-t- y in the farm homo will bring with g devices that i all those lave so lessened domestic labor in the cities. We have had our stone ages and metal ages and steam ages. This is the electrical age. The symbol of the times is the dynamo. And its cease-es- s activity has created greater ' and d prosperity, a finer and more luxurious civilization. labor-savin- wide-sprea- Public Must Back Tax Reduction Or.e of the great curses of government, and one that has an appreciable effect on the tax bill, is overlapping in the administration of public business. Our local units of government e groan under a dead weight of and inefficiency caused by too much injudicious activity of a political sort and too little real responsibility. We cannot have thorough efficiency and economy in government until public officials and public employes regard themselves not as independent agents with vast sums of money at their command, but as public servants responsible to every taxpayer. There is a great amount of talk about but little intelligent action.- We all see the need of placing government on a sound business basis, but fail to encourage cures. Antiquated systems, a superabundance of employes, many of them useless, and political slothfulness and evasion cost money. It is the concern of every taxpayer to see that all units of government are efficiently, economically and honestly administered. Until that is done taxes will continue to climb. red-tap- over-taxatio- n, - The Political Fourth Dimension They state, in one way or another, that if the private executives of our industries, who are respuntuble to dilectors and hundreds of thousands of stock hol lers, were replaced by politicians, who, so far as practice goes, ai7 responsible to no one, rates would go down, efficiency would come up and most of the social and economic problems of the time would evaporate into thin air. The facts, according to the experience of this country, indicate that as soon as a bureaucrat jabs a finger in bethe industrial pie, the cuswhile the gins working overtime, tomer wonders what happened to the service. The majority of people believe that our prosperity is the result of unprecedented industrial progress developed under a policy of governmental regulation, where necessary, instead of governmental operation of business. Government ownership is an attempt to fasten a sort of political fourth dimension on industry and the individual. It has the vague charm of a futile hope which has been a failure in a land dedicated to encouragement of private initiative and enterprise. tax-collect- or Men of Moral Fibre Those people who have held that it was not possible to enforce the prohibition laws in Ogden wero treated to a surprise during the late session of the United States district court. Judge. Tillman D. Johnson was the trial judge, and the liquor law violation cases which came before his court were disposed of without delay. The cases were tried by jury and, notwithstanding several of the jurors were prejudiced against the prohibition laws, there were convictions in almost every case. The, action of the jurors marks these men as citizens of the highest order. They were above prejudice. They took their oath to act as jurors and bring in their verdicts according to the evidence and the law. They were weighed and found not wanting. They proved themselves real men. spirit Newlyweds THE BARDS TRAGEDY Who I!e: should J bard spilled the of ?mg, This time year A song about the verdnnt Spring, waffle, dear?

In Floyd Bennett Field he is incorporating every possible modern feature which will add to the security and efficiency of commercial aviation. New York, without an airport of its own, has hitherto had to depend on ports located far out on Long Island or in New Jersey. The time required to reach the heart of the city from any of the flying fields materially reduced the saving in time effected by inter-cit-y air passage. The site selected for the municipal airport is on Flatburh avenue, Brooklyn, within easy access of Manhattan. A roughly rectangular port: consisting of 380 acres, has been laid out In the ample space reserved for administration and terminal buildings, hangars, etc., Mr. Chamberlin hopes to build one huge structure combining under one roof all airport service units. One concrete runway 3100 feet long parallels Flatbuah avenue in front of the proposed port building; another runway 4000 feet long is to extend, at right angles to the first, to the far northeast corner of the port. In the contract just awarded fur these runways, the third of their type to be built in America, a width of fifty feet is specified. It is probable, however, that when complete they will be 100 feet wide, for it was found that the cost of the fifty-forunways was considerably lower than the original estimate. As a consequence, and in view of the greater strips, plans utility of the are being prepared to add fifty feet to the width of the runways. Mr. Chamberlin has repeatedly stressed the importance of hanl paved runways because of the danger of operating heavy planes on ground which becomes rutted in wet weather and dusty in dry. Experience with paved runways at the Ford Airport near Detroit and at the Grand Central Air terminal, Glendale, California, has shown that the necessary for a length of ground-ru- n has been materially perfect take-o- ff reduced.

Aside from carelessness, poor build ing construction is possibly the most outstanding reason for our gigantic fire waste. In most of our cities the building codes are obsolete. They are based on conditions that were prevalent many years ago, and they nave not been amended to keep pace with the times. Sound building that resists fire and, in case of a blaze, retards its prog- -' ress, must come as the result of a long evolution. We have the knowledge; what we need is cooperation between architects, builders and the au thorities. Once the goal is attained, a great n dollars we now part of the destroy annually will be saved, as will thousands of lives. The National Board of Fire Underwriters, as a part of its intensive fire prevention campaign, has compiled a model building code and has boon endeavoring to educate the public to its advantages. Other organizations, private and public, and insurance bureaus provide information and valuable ad half-billio- vice. To prevent fire is good business. It cannot be questioned that our vast waste has an adverse effect on our prosperity. The Age of the Dynamo The electric utility industry, in spite of its extraordinary development in the past, is still more or less in its in fancy, according to a statement by i. well known firm of public utility engineers. It is said that of the total electrical consumption. 80 perpotentia cent ot the domestic and 44 per cent of the commercial fields are still untouched Room for future development, ae cording to the statement, includes 3! per cent expansion in residential l'ghting, 70 per cent in home appliances, 97 per rent In ranges, 98 per cent in water heaters, 55 per cent in street lighting and 40 per cent in industrial power. crape home usoj nbmj' T 100 kilow.ilt- - Investor To the Who Buys Today Beaver Crown is a mine it is now being developed it has produced several thousands of dollars in commercial ore ore is now exposed at several points geological signs give competent engineers faith in its future it is right now to the point where the only question left to be determined is, how big will the ore bodies develop to be, and as to this matter the drills, under scientific direction, are now grinding away to determine this fact the stock that is available can be had for a few cents a share right now while the question of the magnitude of the mine is being worked out. Should the mine prove to be what engineers think of it, cents invested now could easily run to dollars in a short while. The speculative chance is a good one and people are invited to see the mine or have their engineers do so to their own satisfaction. Call at our offices in Ogden, 2483 Grant Street, Community Hotel Bldg., and see samples of the ore, maps, assay sheets, Luck, you say? No! Just plain, ordinary, human intelligence alert to the voice of opportunity when she called, thats all. The big opportunity in a mining investment is after its development proves the presence of ore and just before the magnitude of the deposits are blocked out, due regard being given to favorable geological conditions and competent engineers faith in the property. It is just at this particular time that the price of the stock is lowest and the speculative possibilities at the highest point. Shares that cost but a few cents then have the speculative future possibilities of making dollars; and it is this big chance of gain from natures store house of mineral wealth that makes one feel that he can afford to risk some of his money in the venture. In so doing, he does nothing more than the farmer who takes his chances with pests and the elements ; or the stockman or poultry man who bets his investment against disease and the market; or the conservative investor who buys land or shares in a financial institution and trusts to missing the hazards of a slump in the price of the land bought or failure, of the corporation entrusted with his funds. More or less chance enters into every thing wc undertake, and, since risk is an element that we must recognize in every transaction, and since every transaction is made because of the reward, gain or profit believed to be forthcoming. many farsighted, thinking people conclude that in the great game of life, it is good business to chance some money on mining enterprises whose sole activities, under scientific direction, sock to redeem the millions of dollars in mineral wealth which natures garners hold. smelter returns, engineers reports, and talk with us about the possibilities of this meritorious property; and incidentally get acquainted with some of the many people of Ogden who are already interested in it. For once in your life, give yourself the privilege of looking into a real mining opportunity one that is under your very eyes, so to speak, and one from which you can actually dig the ore with your own pick and carry your samples away to your own assayer one in which you can see hundreds of feet of veins coming from great igneous intrusions from which -- ore-beari- ng ore bodies are made. In justice to our many clients in Ogden, and as evidence of our appreciation for their loyal support in helping to bring Beaver Crown to its present stage of high development, we have allotted to our branch office in Ogden, part of the final block of Beaver Crown stock which we must sell to fulfill our contracts. Stockholders both in Salt Lake and Ogden are increasing their holdings as their finances will allow, therefore you should not delay a single day in making your investigation.
