Three years ago the hurenn of mines acceded to an appeal from Utah authorities to permit three federal employes to inspect prnjierties in the state. State authorities had only one inspector. The federal bureau has objected on the grounds that it han been made the target for eomplaints on the insertions. ia carried out unThis der an annual contract by which the state supplies offices for the federal bureau inspectors and the Utah and federal men join in inspecting properties. Those made under the leasing act cover a large percentage of the properties, so that in the past state and federal inspections have dovetailed. OUR THREE RULES In conducting this Hardware and Lumber business, we have three rules. First The quality must always be there . Second The price must always be right. Third Satisfaction must be part of every WORK GOES ALONG FAVORABLY WITH THE CONSUMERS sale. Stockholders of the Consumers Mutual Coal company, which ia developing some big properties up on Gordon Creek in the Carbon district, have recently received from its officers at Salt Lake City circular letters in which it is stated that 11 your board of directors is pleased to report that on January 13th this company secured from National Coal Railway company a written agreement to allow na to connect its switch or siding with the main line of the railway being con strurted to the coal properties in the Gordon Creek district. On the date mentioned our company purchased for cash $25,000.00 of the stock of the railway and tho work of completing the grade is to he pushed rapidly by the railroad people, while our com panv is at work opening up its mine and building yardtraeks and tipple. By far the greater part of the work on the railroad grade has been done and the engineers estimate that it can be finished with a few weeks work nnder favorable weather conditions. The officers of the company are trying to do everything in their power to hasten the shipment of eoal to stockholders and trust that they will give their full Competent en ginerrs say that we have one of the biggest and the best properties in the West with the best eoal found anywhere.

EQUITABLE REAL ESTATE & INVESTMENT N N COMPANY Second Floor Silvagni Building EASTERN ENGINEER DISCUSSES FUELS SMOKELESS Lewis C. Karrick, prominent min- -' ing engineer, has an article in the January 30th issue of Salt Lake Citys Mining Review in relation to the smoke nuisance at the capital city and how to combat it. Herrick is now serving with the United States bnreau of mines with headquarters at PittsYour interesting editorial burg, Pa. 'on Salt Lake Citys smoke nuisance appearing in your issue of Deeemlier 30th, he writes, states that there are in existence several processes by which Utah coals may be treated suc- -' cess fully and rendered smokeless. AI-- j so it states that the processed coals can he sold at favorahlg prices as coin- pared with that which comes from the 'mines and that the byproducts from the treatment of these will yield a substantial profit to the plant operators. I think it would be well to enlighten the public to the fact that new processes of a revolutionary character should he steered clear of unless the vendor enn show positive not plnus-ihl- e proof of his ownership of patents of the successful performance of the process on Utah coals and an itemized balance sheet of operating data which will survive the critical examination of competent Salt Lake City engineers. The country is infested with tricksters elaiming marvelous results with their oil, oil shale and coal distillation processes. Practically none of these new processes show any marked departure or any innovation from those which were developed, tested out and abandoned many years ago in the development stages of the eoal and oil shale distillation industry in England and Scotland. Unfortunately the honest tvpe of investor is in most eases either the pure mechanic or chemist, and if he possesses both mechanical ability and scientific training he is very seldom possessed of sufficient business knowledge to correctly present an economic analysis of the utility of his device. There may he processes which will do all that you say, but they must be in the experimental stages of development I doubt if any commercial size process can produce a popnlar type of smokeless fuel at a price less than two and a half or three dollars above the price of raw eoal and sunplv all the smokeless fuel that is needed by the city. T want to see the emnke nuisance of Salt Lake City eliminated, not abated, and I am convinced that it can he done completely and with very lit-- , tie increase in price of solid fuel the coal producers and large irmpertT owners who will benefit most financially will assist a program of I : !

Dihtriet court is the far most Ity study compreheng sive yet made on economic treatment of Utah coals to produce smokeless fuels und valuable byproducts, and I feel sure it will yield results which will huve great vulue in solving the smoke problem. I hope your articles will atimulaie the present wish for a smokeless city, to grow into unified public determination to completely raise the smoke screen from the city, and thia before the available money in Salt Lake City becomes dissipated by investment in several competing processes, instead of being concentrated in one large successful movement whieh will process all coals and favor all people alike. This plan should result in one large plant which like a customs smelter will treat all roals and its operation may well be governed by the public utilities commission. I am convinced that the above is the correct analysis of the situation as it applies particularly to our problem in Salt Lake City. I am wjlling to go on record for the above statements, being backed by over five years exicricnce in oil shale, petroleum and coal research work for the United States bureau of mines. The statements are not given as conclusions of the bureau of mines, but are mv own. half-bake- d Right to Close Mine. The Utah state coal mine inspector or any deputy is authorized to act for the state industrial commission in the closing of any mine or part of nny mine whenever he discovers a violation of any of the provisions of the general mine safety orders issued by the commission, effective September 1, 1920, and as amnded by supplement to said orders April 8, 1024, if in his judgment the violation is of such a character ns to be inimical to the life, health, safety and general welfare of the employe in mid mine. This is a section of the proposed law contained in a bill introduced in the house Friday by Representative Pettit of Carbon. Violation of the provisions of the measure is the payment upon conviction of a fine of not more than three hundred dollars and not less than fifty dollars for each offense. Another Big' Merger. NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Charles R. Flint, banker, is engaged in his twenty-thir- d large industrial merger of a $100,000,000 consolidation of West Virginia eoal companies. This will bring to $500,000,000 the total capital of cnmjianies organized by him in the last thirty-fiv- e years. Sometimes called tho father of trusts, he has always staunchly defended the principle of industrial consolidation as making for lower production and distribuf ing costs. Some of the larger companies credited to his efforts are the United States Rubber, the American Wool, the American Chicle, Steel and Iron, Somerset Coal, Computing Tabulating Recording and the Notional Starch company, which later heenme a part of the Corn Products. Coming from Thomnston, Me., he began business here as a dock elerk. Sloss-Sheffie- ld Number New Fewer. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3. Coal mine accidents cost 2381 lives in 1924 which, although a decrease of seventy-sevefront 1923, allowed a death rate of 4.27 per million tons produced compared with 3.74 for the preceding year.

ABOUT THE CAMPS OF THE BIG CARBON DISTRICT Price Kenilworth worked every week day during the month of January. Coal from that camp is in much demand. The properties there are going at about full capacity. Lump eoal from the Scgo mines of the Amcricnn Fuel company is selling st twelve dollars a ton at Moah, delivered. It is hauled from Thompsons by wagon and truck. mines There are now twenty-seve- n working in the Carlton district with payrolls close to $750,000 monthly. Seven of these are in Spring Canyon. Two lines of railroad take the product of tlifse out. Salt Lake Citv brokers are quoting United States Fuel company shares1 (7 ytcr cent preferred) at seventy cents hid and eighty asked. Independent Coal and Coke fifty and fifty-fiv- e and Standard Coal seventy offered and eighty asked. William Littlejohn, ercnernl superintendent of the Utah Fuel company, was in Price last Monday nftpr a trip to Snnnvside. He enys the shutdown of No. 2 mine there is but temporary. The market for coke is not holding np to expectations. This is the reason for its closing. Dnn Harrington, formerly connected with several of the local companies hut now with the United States bureau of mines at Salt Lake City, was at Snnnyside last Monday on an inspection of the two properties over there. He later went to Castle Gate and other ramps in that vicinity. P. J. nrrkler of Moescr ward was instantly killed in the Park-Alla- n mine out near Vernal one day last week by a rock fall. Jim Fisher, who was in the room with him. escaped without injury. The latter heard the crack overhead and gave warning to his companion, hut it was not in time. Deceased is survived by a widow and three children. Mine No. 2 of the Utah Fuel company at Snnnyside, where fifty men have lately been employed, was shut down last Monday. No market for this rnsl is given ss the reason. It is understood the men are to be eared for at other camps of the big concern. All the coal from No. 1 property goes into coke. Some two hundred and fifty miners are employed in and about it. Edward K. Judd, mining engineer, and J. K. Mabbx. research expert both from New York City finished up their work of inspection at Kenilworth a few days ago and were at Snnnyside the letter part of last week. They are investigating ronditions locally with a view to preventing mine disasters from explosions of gas, eoal and Heating Co.
