Game Wardens Are Clamping On Violators Salt Lake City Fifty-two more names were added to the poacher oi me utan Fish and Game Department as the state wardens continued to clamp down on fish and game violators, according to Merrill Hand. Chief namo Warden. The fifty-two violators paid a total of $1915.00 to various courts throughout the state. Fishing with illegal meat accounted ac-counted for 13 of the arrests, Mr! Hand stated. Most of these were apprehended along the Provo River where the wardens have Been paying special attention to hamburger fishing and hole chumming. One violator was picked up for using corn on Panguitch Lake. Three Californians were caught using licenses which belonged be-longed to other fishermen. Unusually high were the number num-ber of men caught shooting at game birds and animals, Mr. Hand said. He warned hunters that with the fall game seasons approaching, the desire to get afield with the sporting rifle and shotgun will be great and that these weapons should be used only where they are permitted under the law. "With law violation increasing consistently," Mr. Hand explained, explain-ed, "the state is receiving top-rate top-rate cooperation from the courts before which violators are tried. Stiffer fines are being 'levied. Guns, rods, and licenses are be ing taken. If these violators know that the penalties will be heavy, we will have less of the habitual cheating we have had in the past. . But even with in creased fines, Utah is way behind most of the states in the levy of heavy penalties. California set a steady pace this spring when it soaked deer poachers $1200.00 plus heavy suspended jail terms. Since that time the Golden State law enforcement department has reported far fewer . violations," Mr. Hand reported. .

Any time you buy something or invest money in something you should ask this question and get a gilt-edge answer. Supposing a V. S. Savings Bond could talk it would say: "Here's what's in it for you. When you exchange your money for me you get for yourself these things: future security, secu-rity, safety of your investment, profit (S4 for $3 in 10 years), the means to take advantage of opportunities, oppor-tunities, a nestegg to handle any emergencies." s.

Treasury Department r gri 1 New Development For Tintic District ! . ; Tintic, Utah, once one ot Utah's great mining districts, and for many years the leading silver producing pro-ducing district in- the nation, is nee again the scene of renewed attention in an effort to reestablish reestab-lish it in the metal mining world. Since it3 discovery in the early seventies, Tintic has never given out. It has contributed much to the commerce and industry of the state by its production of gold, silver, sil-ver, copper, lead and zinc. But it has languished. Many of its great mines such as the Centennial Eureka, Eu-reka, Bullion Beck, Mammoth, Chief Consolidated and Tintic .-.tanard have passed their peaks, at least temporarily. In mining it is a difficult problem prob-lem to teen pace with a fickle mother nature and the ever changing chang-ing economic conditions. If mining min-ing is to continue it must have a THE STORY OF PIOCHE By Miner Mike Fioche in the early days (Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of eight articles (rivinn highlights of the history of Pioche, Nevada, a mining community which has been1 an important factor in Utah industry and which has been rebuilt by Utah men.) The story of Pioche begins on a pleasant mid-summer morning of 1859 after a torrential rain which had bathed the sage brush covered hills the night before, when a wagon train enroute across the plains stopped stop-ped at a spring about 10 miles west of what is now Pioche, to camp for a few days rest The rains had washed brighter A well defined outcrop of ore and the Indians told the weary travelers travel-ers of the metal, panaca, Indian for silver, which stuck out of the ground and from which they had fashioned crude implements. In 1859 the west was alive with prospectors, those who followed the 49ers in their quest for gold along the Mother Lode of California, and those who came west to find another Virginia City, the Nevada mining camp which had electrified the world with its silver discoveries.

(Editor's Note: This is the first of a aeries of eight articles giving highlights of the history of Pioche. Nevada, a mining district which has been an important factor fac-tor in Utah industry and which has been rebuilt by Utah men.) In mining, the hope of reviving an old mining camp never dies in the hearts of men, no matter how old, deserted and well explored it may have been. The old timers cling to their hope, and the rising generations of mining engineers are always applying their increased knowledge of geology, mining, and metallurgy in an effort to defeat the economic conditions or other factors fac-tors that closed the mines down. Pioche, Nevada, situated about 100 miles west of Cedar City, Utah in a desert mountain area, once was a roaring mining camp that supported support-ed a community of aproximately 10,000 persons. The district was sick several times; its rich, near the surface sur-face high grade ores did not last and it nearly died with the demonitiza-tion demonitiza-tion of silver in 1873. During succeeding suc-ceeding depressions, it languished and its complex geology and ores presented a problem for science. Today Pioche stands on the threshold thres-hold of a new career.

It is encouraging to learn that new capital has entered the district has leased the Little May property in the south end of the camp and plans an extensive prospecting com-paign com-paign to sound out the productive possibilities of that area.

Lode and Virginia City had fanned out to all sections of the west, running run-ning down reports of this or that find. Pioche, which drew its name from an early French explorer, was soon the center of activity. Two prospectors prospec-tors Raymond and Ely located claims along the outcrop and called their property the Raymond and Ely. The ore was rich and growth of the district was rapid. From 1870 to 1873, the Raymond and Ely' produced gold and silver valued at $40,000,000, virtually all of which came from the Raymond and Ely fissure and its branches. In two and a half years this property paid four and one half million dollars dol-lars in dividends. With such production, Pioche sprang into the national spotlight and it drew the backwash of bad characters from Virginia City, the Comstock, and California. Old timers say that Pioche was the "shootinest" camp of all the early Western boom towns. .(The third article in this series will appear in these columns soon.) of $9,000,000, has helped to revive nowned mining engineer, after a visit to the district recently, pointed out that there has been no major lead-zinc lead-zinc development since Burma mines around 1900 except the solution of the geology of the Pioche, Nevada, district, which with its surrounding area "bids fair to bo the greatest lead district in the p'nited States because the intricacies of the lime beds and the quartzite have been solved after many years of research re-search and tireless endeavor." This statement by Mr. Hoover, who became world famous as a mining engineer before he became President of the United States, is a tribute to a Utah mining man Edward H. Snyder, who as a young engineer entered the district in 1913, and spent "many years of research and tireless endeavor," of which Mr. Hoover speaks. Snyder, came from a Pioneer Utah mining family, and when he entered the district in 1913 he knew something of its history, and after examination decided that Pioche would have many years of life, and todav it is creating much industry for Nevada and Utah.

American Chemical society, in reports just released, describes two "health thermometers," thermom-eters," inventions that analyze the chemical contents of vital organs. One, a long, slender glass tube filled with liquid starch, is capable of separating 20 or more different kinds of amino acids (the acids that form proteins, and make most of man's flesh). It was invented at Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York City, by Dr. William H. Stein and Stanford Moore. The other, a short metal tube lined with carbon, separates a differing dif-fering class of compounds, Including complex sugars. It is the discovery of Arne Tiselius, biological chemist of Upsala, Sweden, now In the United States as a science representative repre-sentative of the Swedish government. govern-ment. Each tube Is able to take a complex com-plex solution of the mixtures of the many different chemicals that come from any kind of living tissue and separate them quickly into the various vari-ous important compounds. Tests may be made on a drop of blood, liquid from vital organs, serum or solutions of living tissues. When a person is in good health, the right amount of each chemical is present, but if the balance is upset up-set or one of, the compounds Is altered, al-tered, health Is affected. Diseases produce serious alterations in both quantity and quality of the living tissue compounds. Heretofore no good, quick way has been available to identify such changes. It is hoped that the two new tubes may be instrumental in identifying hidden cancers, and benefit ben-efit the discovery and treatment of arthritis, malnutrition, and lack of vitamins and hormones, in addition addi-tion to a number of diseases. Scientists Visit 'Isle Of the Dead' for Snakes SAN FRANCISCO. - Anyone else probably would travel a long way to avoid a rattlesnake, but two scientists left here for the bleak, uninhabited Island of El Muerto (the dead), off Lower California, because they knew they could find the snakes in plenty there. Joseph R. Slevin, curator of reptiles and amphibians for California Cali-fornia Academy of Science, and Wallace Wood, academy collector, collec-tor, took off for the snake hunter's hunt-er's paradise. It's easy, Slevin said. On previous pre-vious trips he has carried a forked rod, with which he strikes rocks under which he thinks snakes may be hiding. If a snake is there, it will respond with a vibration of its rattles. Slevin then turns over the rock, holds the snake down with the forked rod and grasps It just behind the head to pick it up. Ex-G.l. Sweats for a Living;; ' Sometimes in Decollete NEW YORK. Twenty-three-year-old Eugene Belner, an ex-G.I., really real-ly sweats for a living. He works for a group of textile manufacturers who call him the "human perspirator." These manufacturers clothe him In the latest fabrics and then stand back to see what his perspiration does to the color fastness and tensile strength of their products. They have rigged up a subterranean subterran-ean chamber at a heat of 125 degrees de-grees and into it they pop Belner for half-hour intervals until he emerges looking like boiled tomato and surrenders his garments for scientific inspection. "Belner, a six-footer, likes his work. When he took the job he weighed 280 pounds and now he is down to a mere 2G5. "I have been going to doctors getting get-ting treatments to reduce weight," he said. "Why pay for treatments when I can get paid for taking them?" However, he still hasn't become used to the decollete ensembles they drape him with. Sometimes it's a sheer clinging negligee, at other times wispy feminine stockings. Vanishing Spouse Out a Hat When Finally Located by Cop MORGAN CITY. IND.-A gust of wind picked up Carl McKee's hat as he stepped from his car at Michigan Michi-gan City airport. He asked his wife to wait, waded up to his knees into the rainswept, muddy field and disappeared. Police waded in after McKee, but found only his hat A search by officers' knee-deep in mud failed to recover McKee's body. Two days after his mysterious disappearance, McKee was found-in found-in a downtown poolroom. 21 Million Collars Spent to Make Women's Hands Pretty WASHINGTON.- American worn-en worn-en are spending more than 21 million mil-lion dollars a year to make their hands "beautiful." The commerce department reported re-ported that retail sales of nail lacquers, lac-quers, cuticle softeners and other manicure preparations totaled $21.-600,000 $21.-600,000 in 1946. Services Held For Beloved Church Leader Funeral services for Edith Grant Young, 62, wife of Clifford E. Young, a.sslstant to the twelve, were held in the Alpide stake tabernacle Saturday, August 23, at 1 p. m. with Bishop J. Stanley Peters of the American Fork Second ward officiating.; Mrs. Young died August 20, at her home of a heart attack. Seated on the stand were President George Albert Smith, his counselors, David O. McKay and J. Reuben Clark; George F. Richards, Joseph F. Merrill, Harold Har-old B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball and Ezra Taft Benson, of the twelve; Richard L. Evans and Milton R. Hunter of the Seven Presidents of Seventy; LeGrand Richards of the presiding bishopric, bishop-ric, Mark Austin, member of the general welfare board; President jesse M. Walker, Leo G. Meredith and Delbert Chipman, Alpine stake presidency; Dr. A. Ray Olpin, Dr. Franklin S. Harris, and Dr. Howard McDonald, presidents of the three state universities. President Walker, the first speaker, paid tribute to the ideal home life of the Youngs, to Mrs. Young's musical contribution to the stake, and to her inherently fine characteristics. President Clark, who followed, also eulogized eulogiz-ed the life of the deceased, saying say-ing she desired a home and family fam-ily In preference tq a career; and then spoke on the resurrection and eternal family association. President Smith, the conclud ing speaker, used as his , theme "The Lord's Way of Marriage", saying it brought joy in this life and eternal companionship beyond be-yond the grave. Music was furnished by a chorus, directed toy Mrs. S. Dwight Packard with Mrs. Wendell Wen-dell Kirkpatrick as accompanist, which sang "Though Deepening Trials" aand "Thou Dost Not Weep to Weep Alone." Mrs. Kirkpatrick played the prelude , and postlude, the latter being "Christian's Good Night," a number which Mrs. Young had sung at inumerable funeral serv ices. Prayers were offered by Joseph H. Storrs and Olin H. Ririe, former form-er Second ward bishops, and the grave was dedicated by Elder Harold B. Lee. Relief Society members of the Second and Seventh wards cared for the flowers. Pallbearers were neighbors, W. R. Halliday, Clyde Crookston, Glen L. Taylor, Harold Holley, Paul and Owen Christen-sen. Christen-sen.
