I J rnmV ".if . ,,a ..'It,: . . r.J--T. , By THE MARYSVALE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DOZEN Utah counties point Awith prld to mines of gold, silver and lead. But one only can boast, in addition to these, a mineral In unlv. real demand, and that In unlimited quantity. The area around Marysvale, Piute coun-ty, has. so far as known, a mono-- , poly of "aluuite", the rock from which aluminum la extracted. Adventure and romance attended the discovery and development of the silver, lead and gold deposits which first lured prospectors to Marysvale and the adjacont terri-tory. Originally "Marysvale" was not "Marysvale" at all, nor was it a mining settlement. Beautiful trees and sparkling waters made It summer camping spot so Ideal that Mormon church leaders, on an exploring expedition In 1856, called It "Merryvllle". Its present name was adopted later. , Frank E. King started a ranch there. While he raised calves, an old California miner named Hewitt panned for gold. The miner found "colors" along Pine creek. Jacob Hess and Ebeneter Hanks, In 1869, tried aluiclng.. This failed, but. crossing the creek, they discovered a lode and filed on the "Webster", the first mineral location In Piute county. The ore was rich, but transportation cost was prohibitive and a home-mad- e smelter did not work. Some 200 prospectors flocked In. Good cropplngs were found, but no one could afford the wagon haul to Salt Lake City. Joseph Smith, from Silver Reef, stopping at a ranch south of Marys-vale, went deer hunting one day. In a path worn deep by migrating herds he saw the gleam of metal. Tests showed high values In silver, lead and gold. Digging began. In 1873 and 1874 about 400 tons of $85 ore was hauled 125 miles to the nearest railroad point and shipped. The ore body proving large, attempts were made to mill it. Not, however, until the Salis-bury brothers of Salt Lake City blocked out a great tonnage and erected a modern mill did the "Deer Trial" become a bonanza. At one time this mine had a month-ly payroll of more than $25,000, employed 175 men and paid taxes of about $12,000 a year. It is worked now by some 60 lessees. After the completion of a rail-road to Marysvale the Webster mine was enabled to send ore out to the smelters. The Wedge, on a peak south of the Webster, startled the public by the extreme richness of Its gold seams, some of which are said to have aver-aged $9,000 to the ton. These high values encouraged prospecting for gold in the mountains northwest of Marysvale. Ore was first dis-covered there In 1888 by Douglass Tompklnson, of Fillmore. In one claim a shaft struck rock worth $286 per ton in gold. Tompklnson and his partners formed a com-pany and built a 100-to- n mill. Sur-rounding claims struck ore. Peter Ki nberly, of Chicago, and asso-ciates acquired the Annie Laurie and other groups. The camp was christened "Klmborly". At the Annie Laurie Klmborly erected a 300-to- n mill and employed 300 men. About 200 more men were put to work by other mines and prospects. By 1900 the little camp had be-come a prosperous town. During eight years of operation by the Annie Laurie, Piute county, ordi-narily poor, collected more money in taxes than It needed. Flush days ended. The Annie Laurie was "sold east" by the Kimberly Interests and, In 1916, was taken over by B. F. Bauer, of Salt Lake. The price of gold was advanced. Bauer Improved the camp, remodeled the mill and, in 1936, disposed of the property to a New York syndicate. Near Marysvale masses of a "pink spar" had long piqued the curiosity of Tom Qlllan. Samples sent to Washington by A. E. Cus-ter, a Salt Lake City assayer, re-vealed 38 aluminum, 37 sul-phur and 11 potash. Glllan and J. U. Sargent had already locattd Borne claims the first locations of alunlte on record. The potash con-tent was hailed as a means of breaking the German monopoly of that product. After the World war started it became Indispensable. A process for Its recovery was de-vised by Howard Chapell and, In 1910, the Gillan and Sargent claims were bought by the Mineral Pro-ducts Corporation. Spurred by the war demand, the corporation es-tablished a plant for the production of sulphate of potash. Between October, 1915. and December, 1920, more than 250,000 tons of high-grad- e alunite was mined and treat-ed at a cost Of $40,000 a month. The aluminum, constituting one third of the alunlte, has since dom-inated the picture. The source of supply is practically Inexhaustible. Millions of tons remain In the ground of the Mineral Products, Florence and Bradburn companies and there are vast- - deposits of lower grade ore around them. The supply Is assured; only reduction facilities are lacking. . Extensive research by the government and private capital aims at the develop-ment of low-co- methods of ex-tracting aluminum oxide from alunite In a form suitable for pro-duction ot metallic aluminum. Ex-perience in foreign countries and the generation of cheap electric power of Boulder dam point to success. Meanwhile the demand for aluminum in airplanes, streamline trains, ships, wire, furniture, paints and Industries still in the making grows day by day and a broad market for this unique product of Marysvale'a hills will be waiting when technical improvements re-move present obstacles. seven-thirt- y at the chur '! quarterly conference of? year will be hel(J service.

Sun-day April 25th. ,i Among the Biblical citations ' ar the following: "The man that wand-eret- h out of the way of understandi-ng shall remain in the congregation of the dead. He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honor" (Proverbs 21: 10. 21). Included are the following corre-latives from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Earth's pre. paratory school must be Improved to the utmost. Death is not the re-sult of Truth but of error, and one error will not correct another.' (p. 486) We cannot spend our days here in ignorance of the Science of Life, and expect to find beyond the grave a reward for this ignorance. Death will not make us harmonious and immortal as a recompense for Ig-norance" (p. 409). Reduced Electric; Rates Effective On April First Domestlo Lighting and Small Appliance Use Consumer! Save $152,000 Yearly Domestic electric rates of the Utah Power 8t Light Company for lighting and small appliance use were again reduced Thursday when the second half of the two cent a kilowatt hour reduction ordered last October 1 went into effect, George M. Gadsby, president and general manager, announced Wednesday. The second half of the reduction amounts to one cent a kilowatt houv for all residential consumers on lighting schedules on the intercon-nected system in Utah and Idaho and becomes effective on bills ren-dered after April 1. The October 1930 and April reductions will save 49,000 consumers of this class of service $152,000.00 annually, Mr. Gadsby said. Under the new rate, domestic lighting consumers in cities under 15,000 population and In rural terri-tory will pay, after a minimum charge of $1.00 for 11 kilowatt hours, a top rate of six cents a kilo-watt hour for all additional. Previ-ous to the reduction in October 1930 the top rate, after the minimum charge, was eight cents a kilowatt hour. Mr Gadsby said the new rates ere the lowest ever made effective by the company for electric light-ing and small appliance service, and should prove an Incentive to con-sumers to increase their use end thereby take advantage of the "half price plan" and the low objective rate filed by the company in Octo-ber 1935. He said already 43,000 of the com-pany's customers saved --276,000 in 1936 from the "half price plan" and more than 21,000 had reached the low objective rate. Amplifying his comment Mr. Gadsby said: "In accepting these reductions we are not unmindful Of the obligation to our preferred stockholders and the fact that earn-ings are not yet sufficient to meet current dividend requirements, to say nothing of securing additional earnings to pay accumulated and unpaid dividends arising from de-pression years. It is the belief of the management, however, that rea-sonable reductions promote greater use of electric service and the loss sustained will be compensated by more liberal use on the part of lighting customers." 100 PRO?

Finally alluded to, but by no means of least consequence, there Is the proposed shake-u- p In the Supreme Court. Any one of the big sticks In the wood-pile is likely to call for weeks of work on the open floor of Congress.

While on the subject of what Congress may or may not do tn the shall not be inflicated. As the days slip. by, sit down strikes appear to decrease in favor with the public at large, and It seems certain that those who adopted that method of procedure to enforce their, demands will live to see the day when they will have to admit that they lent themselves to something that did not click.
