Show PAGE EIGHT THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, I960 rat. The central power station hat not had disabling injury since March 3, 1932, and should notch it eighth consecutive unmarred year in I960. Work was started at the smelter on the broad, long-rang- e renova-tion program. Material handling equipment used at the smelter dates (great Steps Forward Taken by Utah Copper Division In Past Year back to 1906 when the plant was built, v Since purchase of the smelter by Kcnneeott in January 1959, con-siderable engineering time has been directed toward designing modern material handling facilities. Con-struction is expected to begin next year on this improvement. A $500,000 scrubber oystem was completed recently at the smelter. It allows the plant to reuse water needed to clean sulphur di-oxide gas. The gas, previously car-ried away in water, now is convert-ed into about 50 tons of sulphuric acid daily. Also, waste water from the plant will not carry any sub-stantial amount of sulphur dioxide fumes. A 20-to- test furnace was turn-ed on in early November to explore the possibilities of oxygen smelting, If effective, the project will reduce furnace processing time. The smelter will produce about 222,000 tons of anode copper and 220,000 tons of sulphuric acid this year. Major physical improvements effected at the Utah refinery inclu-ded new, dry-ty- pe dust collectors to increase recovery of values. Mechanical improvements at the concentrators include belt-typ- e feeders for fine ore bim, an auto-mali- c heating system, and automa-tic control of mill pumping at Magna. At the Arthur concentrator at-tention centered on the experimen-tal use of a rod mill for crushing ore. The 10 by 16-fo- mill is being tested to see if it is more effective than the present rolls. The mill contains about I I 4 tons of 16-fo- steel rods which tumble over each other to grind copper ore. Steel rods about four inches in dia-meter are used. Several key management changes were made by Utah Copper Divis-ion during the year. J. P. O'Keefe was appointed general manager. He replaced F. C. Green, who was ap-pointed asa'stant to the general manager of Western Mining Divis-ions. In November two other import-ant line appoints were made when O'Keefe selected Wayne Burt at general superintendent of smelting and refining and Ray Cough as general superintendent of mining and milling. O. C Madsen was promoted to division comptroller, and S. S. Wal-dro- n was moved up to Madsen's former position at assistant divis-ion comptroller. Among experimental projects continued during the year was an improved method for leaching cop-per. It utilizes research information developed at the Kennecott Re-tear- Center. Another good eafety record wat established through the first eleven months of I960. It is possible that the smelter will qualify for the Na-tional Safety Council's highest the Award of Honor. 'The tmelter safety campaign thowt an improvement of 80 per cent over the 1959 frequency rate and 98 per cent over the 1959 severity Utah Copper Division of Kenne-cott Copper Corporation took sev-eral long stept forward during I960. Started during the year were a spiral drop cut at the giant Bingham Canyon mine and engineering work on renovation of the Utah smelter. Completed during the year was a $16 million facility adcing 75,000 kilowatts to the central power sta-tion. The projects are part of a long-rang- e program to make operations more efficient and to compete suc-cessfully in the highly competitive world copper market. Utah Copper Divis'on continued to add substantially to the state's economy during the year. Total ex-penditures for the year for pay-rolls, taxes, supply purchases and services amounted to $1 12,268,000. Thii included $42,630,000 for pay-rolls and $9,994,000 for ttate and , local taxes. More than five million tons of ore ore being removed from the bottom of the mine as the sp.ral drop cut reaches for the 5490 tun- - nel, 150 feet below the level where excavation began in July on the multi-millio- n dollar project. '' The tunnel, 5,490 feet above sea level at its upper terminus, was completed in February 1959. It will eliminate adverse haulage of ore above the 5490 elevaton. Morrison-Knudse- n Company is doing the excavating. Giant mach-ines are used to rip up the rock, which is. hauled to a stockpile by carry-alls- . There it it loaded by huge shovels unto rail cars for a downhill run to the concentrators. Only a little blasting has been need-ed by the contractor. The spiral will have a railbed 3,600 feet long on a 4 per cent grade. The 5490 tunnel is 17,951 leet long and ends just south of Copperton. The tunnel cost an esti-mated $ I I million. Western Contracting Corporation as working on a 12 million cubic yard stripping project at the mine. This it the largest tingle stripping project ever awarded to an outside contractor by the Utah Copper Di-vision. Giant 13 cubic yard shovels and 50-to- end-dum- p trucks are being used on this project. Other jobs progressing at the mine include expansion and con-solidation of the central traffic con-trol system and automation of the water distribution system used for waste dump leaching. The passen-ger tram between the Carr Fork road and the mine office building will become All salt stands that spray waste cart with a salt solution during the winter to prevent waste material from stick-ling to cars are being automated. Two other projects at the mine included $284,000 during the year for electrification of switches and radio-phon- e systems and $184,000 for equipment for shelf dumping, which allows waste to be dumped on a shelf on top of the regular vaste dump. A bulldozer pushes the waste material over the edge. The 75,000 kilowatt addition to the central power station wat plac-ed in service in late October. The addition cost an estimated $16 mil-lion and it will supply enough elec-tricity for a city of 350,000 popu-lation, Natural gat generates the power, with coal used on a stand-by basis. HELEN HALE i Feminine Stocking Stutters Small and feminine gifts to de-light the womanly heart are much In the picture this season of the year. Perhaps some of these would fill a stocking on your list: Crocheted slippers of nylon tulle are attractive and comfortable with leather soles and heels. Se-lect in colors to match the lady's robe. Sweater guards are now avail-able In mink as well as gold and pearls. Slender half slips, slit at the sides for easy walking are much in demand. They go well under a holiday sheath. Plastic rainbonnets In decora-tive pillboxes are wonderfully Helen's Favorite: Apple Pancake Sy.up 1 cup apple juice 2 sticks cinnamon 12 whole cloves cup sugar 2 tablespoons light corn syrup Combine apple juice, cinna-mon, broken in pieces, and cloves. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain. There should be cup juice. Com-bine this with remaining in-gredients and bring to a boil, boiling briskly for 4 to 6 min-utes. Cool slightly to serve warm on pancakes to make them famous. handy. Bonnets with designs on them are the latest Innovation. Little shrugs, adorned or un-adorned, are perfect for that idea. They can also go everywhere and are comfortable in a chilly room. Ranch mink now goes into a corsage, accented with pearls. It can be worn on the head or as a suit or coat corsage. What about a bouffant bonnet for covering curlers and clips? These are made in petaled layers to look as pretty as a posy.
