More than a hundred visiting representatives of the operating companies in this field have been present, the institute opening on last Wednesday and will close tonight (Friday). Daily sessions hare been held in the forenoon at the Star theater, with some evening sessions at the high school auditorium. Each afternoon has been devoted to an insjection of some of the camps of Carlmn district. The visitors have been duly impressed with what this district has to show them. Over at Hiawatha they reviewed the big new tipple, the most modern one in the Intermountain region. And the King No. 1 mine which is locally better known by its former name Black ITawk together with the model village presented by the mining town of Hiawatha, is a light calculated .to awaken an idea that the Carbon county field is a most important cog in the machinery of western coal production. Caring For th Visitor. While the handling of the convention haa been largely up to the Price Chamber of Commerce and a big com' mittee made up of prominent Sgea fronf ""'afmheand business concerns, the cost has been assumed by the operators of the Carbon eounty mines, from their offices uo at Salt Lake City. Aside from this much aid haa been given by manv Price folks. Autos to carry the institute members on the trips have been freely furnished. Thursday the ramn at Spring Canyon was inspected with particular reference to the mine and the new tipple. This structure is another in the same clam as the one at Hiawatha. Castle Gate was visited also before the return to Price in the early evening.

These gatherings, at which the problems and experiences of the oicrators in various fields and mines art told and discussed, tend to work for letter conditions in all ways. Safety for the workers is ever an iinjmrtant consideration. Not a little humor is occasionally injected into a jmper on an otherwise routine subject. Thus in an able essay on roal loaders by Engineer Sharror of Hock Springs, Wyo., he diverted to the consideration of tellimr how to antieijjate a fall of eoal or rocks in a mine. He said that his grandfather told him that when the rats left a certain jurt of the mine in the old dnvs, the miners a caving Sharrer asserted that even in this day there waa little to base better raleulutions upon, and that maybe tbr present day miner was worse off, because there are few, if any, rats in the mines now. Weather Shows Off. Even the weather broke loose to show the visitors the brand on tap in this locality, The trip to Spring Canyon was made in a pretty heavy rain storm, just about the Mine hour as the big washout on the railway tracks told of elsewhere in this newspaper. ex-iect- INSPECTOR SELECTS HIS BOSS FOR FIRST VICTIM Henry Fiuck, in his official capae- inspector, hM con- flemneiTPnce City nail, at least so far as the front portion occupied by the city recorder's office and some other activities is concerned.
