CAR New York Formation of a jointly owned company, Palico Min-ing and Chemical Corporation, to explore and possibly develop a large phosphate deposit in North Carolina was announced this week by Frank R. Milliken, president of Kennecott, and C. M. Powell, president, The American Agricultural Chemical Company. Kennecott's exploration subsid-iary, Bear Creek Mining Co., has been exploring deposits, analyzing results of laboratory tests on drill hole samples, and acquiring inter-ests in Beaufort County, in eastern No. Carolina. Pamlico Mining will take over Bear Creek's operations and property acquisitions in the area. The joint announcement of the two companies said that "land in excess of 10,000 acres in Beaufort county has been acquired. A drill-ing campaign is under way for the purpose of investigating more thor-oughly the potential of the deposit. Laboratory tests are being made on drill samples to help solve prob-lems concerning extraction of the valuable phosphate. Once this pre-liminary campaign is concluded, more' closely spaced drilling will be started to try to determine a prac-tical mining method. The deposits are deeper than those currently be-ing mined in other parts of the United States, and therefore offer different problems. The companies have no present plans for the ex-ploitation of the property because a great deal more information the deposits and the economic feasibility of mining and treating them will be needed before any determination can be made regard-ing initiation of commercial pro-duction." The company presidents said it was premature to predict the of expenditure the venture will entail but indicated that com-mercial development would require "many millions of dollars," DISTRICT 8 CONVENTION HELD AT TOOELE American Legion District 8 con-vention vas held at Tooele last Saturday, April 28.

MEXICANS TO HOLD ANNUAL FETE SATURDAY (battle of PUEBLA In the year 1858 the Mexican Congress elected Benito Pablo Juarez, Zapotec Indian, president of the Republic of Mexico. In 1861 because his country was almost bankrupt Juarez suspended pay-ments on debts that Mexico owed to Great Britian, France and Spain. British, Spanish and French troops invaded Vera Cruz in December 1861 in an effort to enforce pay-ment of debt. Napoleon the third of France saw a chance to extend his power by conquering Mexico. When Brit-ish and Spanish learned of Napol-eon's plans they withdrew from Mexico. Napoleon sent reenforce-ment- s to his army but his actions had already touched off a fierce struggle between Mexican and French troops, a struggle which lasted until 1867. The Battle of Puebla which is commemorated on the 5th of May stands for the first battle cry heard over the land in 1662. This year being the centennial of the battle, the descendants of Mexico and their friends in the Salt Lake Valley Bingham, Lark, West Jordan, Midvale, Murray, Kearns arfd Granger will join under the leadership of the Sociedad Mutual-ist- a Mexicana Miguel Aleman and the St. Francis Xavier Guadalupana Society to celebrate this battle.

There is no charge of admission for the program, but a charge of $1.00 per man and 50 cents per lady for the dance. Down Memory Lane BY JOHN J. CREEDON BANKS OF BINGHAM CANYON Through the kind cooperation of Rodney O. Chapman, manager of the First Security Bank of West Jordan, formerly of Bingham, I have had access to some of the old re-cords of the banking business in Bingham Canyon and with what I can recall from memory, 1 shall try and give you the history of bank-ing in the Canyon. Old timers have told me that the first banker in Bingham was Steve Hays, who ran a mercantile store and took care of the banking needs of the community by cashing checks and holding money for individuals in his safe. One man said that he had a scale for weighing gold dust and nuggets. He grubstaked the prospectors and handled their fin-ances in the early days before a formal bank was established. The first charter for a bank in Bingham Canyon was issued Octo-be-r 13, 1903, under the hand of James T. Ham-mond, Secretary of State. This charter stated that on the above date the oath of officers of said bank were filed to First Security Bank of Bingham. The minutes of this meeting showed L. S. Cates, president and Charles T. S. Parsons, secretary. Stockholders voting for the change were L. S. Cates, D. D. Moffat, C. E. Adderley, J. D. Shilling and Charles T. S. Parsons and First Security Corporation of Ogden. The next important step in the history of Bingham State-Fir- st Se-curity Bank came about on April 4, 1930, when they .assumed the assets and liabilities of the First National Bank of Bingham, which was going into voluntary liquida-tion and wished to provide for an orderly payment of its liability to its depositors. Signing this agreement was George E. Chandler, president and Eugene Chandler, cashier of the First National Bank. C. E. Adder-le- y, president and Charles T. S. Parsons, secretary of the First Se-curity Bank. The accompanying list of liabili-ties and assets of the First National Bank was most interesting to read. It contained many names I recog-nized as friends and neighbors, people who had made loans or were making payments through the bank. One interesting item at the head of the list of resources was an item of $5,000.00 listed as Goodwill. Old Liberty Loan Bonds of the U. 5. Government were also listed among the assets. Brent Lynch was appointed as custodian of the master key for the safety deposit boxes and the leasers of these boxes were urged to re-new their contract with the new depository without any loss of ren-tal in the exchange. The First National Bank was established by George E. Chandler in his new Princess Theater build-ing in the early Twenties. There was none of the stiff bank-ing practices that were common in that day in the big cities. Your dealings with the banker was in the open and everyone knew much about pretty your business in the bank. Overdrafts and delayed pay- ments on loans were usually taken care of by verbal contact. f ' Mr. Creedon hi ofVce- - Uf" fortunately the names of the officers are not on the charter, nor can any of my friends recall who they were. The bank was Bingham State Bank and it was established in the first brick building in Bingham ad-joining the Steve Hays store, where it remained until the bank was mo-ved to the Utah Power and Light building a few years ago. On January 31, 1907 another certificate from the Secretary of State Charles S. Tingey authorized an amended article VII which read: "The authorized capital stock of this corporation shall be fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) di-vided into one hundred fifty shares (150) of par value of one hundred ($100.00) each. The Bingham State Bank con-tinued operation without interrup-tion under that name until May 2, 1929, when its name was changed' WEST JORDAN LIONS TO MEET THURSDAY.
