Development and exploitation of the large deposit of fullers earth, commonly knbwn as talc, In the Dragon property at Tintic, is giving encouraging results, according to a review made of activities during the year In the Knight Investment companys properties by Hugh.

Kelly further asserted jesterdaV that unless something arises which may cause him to alter his present opinion he will recommend to the next legislature that it make no allowance of any kind appropriation bill covering provl-- 1 i sleds for deficits. At present, when It spears likely that an spropriatton "will be exhausted, and lines of state activities would that certain haven to ' cease, unless additional funds are provided, the appropriation bill provides that with the unanimous consent in of the state board of examiners, and, the case of state boards, with the unania as well, board of consent that mous hoard or an office mav be permitted to of total Incur expenditures beyond the the appropriation for the biennium.

(When' the matter has been adjudicated finally, the law provides that 'the state will be reimbursed by an assessment on the water users atfevted. The legislature of 1919 provided a revolving fund of 120,000. and the last legislature attempted to Increase this bv 10,000, inasmuch as the adjudications of the Weber and the Sevier river systems t Were coming on simultaneously. However, the legislature of 1921 did BOt specifically mention that the balance M the former revolving fund was not to return to the state treasury. Possibly the legislators believed thst the intent of the law was clear, that the fund should trevolve" permanently, and therefore did not- - think It necessary to except It. in providing that unexpended balances of appropriations should be lapsed into the ' general fund. main-thnah- e engt-vee- Expenditures Risked. The attorney general, however, holds that In the absence of the specific exception, and since other special funds are excepted, the balance in the revolving fund.- - then between $500 and $6000, ghould lapse. Inasmuch as the other had already been expended from this -- fund, but owing to the slowness of action In courts Involving such great and varied property Interests waa not likely to return to the fund soon, the state engineer found himself rsipldly exhausting the $10,000 appropriation He notified the state board of examiners of this condition, and was told to go ahead with the ad indication of the two big river systems and several others. The fund is tow nearly exhausted. No fund Is expected to "revolve" back to it top some months, and the state board of examiners la, therefore, faced with tile choice of permitting expenditures of e 15hjD to 16o(J0 already made spent for nothing, or ese of providing wajs for the needed until funds money obtaining sre mad available from some water systems already adiudica-tedIn- - the meantime, further representations are being made to the attorney general that a "revolving fund" should not be lapsed, and If is possible that some legal way will be found out of the difficulty without the actual creation of a "deficit. It is further pointed out that such a deficit would be more technical than real, inasmuch as ultimately the fund Itself would repay the debt, and It stands no danger of becoming a permanent charge state general fund. The fact against the that the law provides a sure manner in Which the money may be returned to the state, and the additional consideration that on Irrigation and definitely water rights depends such a great measure of the prosperity of the state as a Whole, are expected to have sufficient Weight to permit the continuance, of the adjudication suit without interruption by reason of the states finances. .

January 1 to March 15, taxpayers are advised to lose no time In the compilation of their accounts for the year 1921, Collector James 11. A new Anderson announced yesterday., and Important provision of the revenue act for 1921 ig that every persoh whose gross Income for the year waa $5009 or over, shall flic a return, regardless of the amount Of net Income upon which the tax Is assessed, Returns are required of every single person whose net income was $1000 or over and every married person living with husband or wife whose net income waa $2000 or over. Widows and wldoweta and peiWons separated or divorced from husoand or wife are regarded aa single persons. Net income is gross Income, less certain deductions for business expenses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross income Includes practically all Income received by the taxpayer during the year; in the case of the wage earner, salaries, wages, bonuses snd commissions, In the cues of professional men, all amounts received for professional services; in the cases of farmers, all profits from the sale of farm products, and rental or sale of land. Jn the making of an income tax return for the year 1921, every taxpayer should present to himself the following questions: What were your profits from your business, trade, proftssion or vocation? Did you receive any interest on bank deposits? Have you any property from which you received tent? Did you receive any Income in the form of dividend or Interest from stocks or bonds? Did you receive any bonuses during the year? Did, you make any profit on the sale of stocks, bonds, or other property, real or personal? Did you act as a broker in any transaction from which you received commissions? Are you interested In any partnership or other firm from which you received any income? Have you any Income from royalties or The existence of such a provision has led, in the past, to its use In many aws and .."deficits" have piled up'to the extent of more than three quarters of a million dollars In some bienniums. Mr. Kelly Is of the opinion thst the more businesslike way for the legislature to handle this problem, which arises from Inexact predictions of the expenditures likely to be necessary for a department, w. would be for the legislature to provide no wav at tl In which a deficit might be created. For the very exceptional case, an covering a real emergency, suchor assome insurrection or a world war, clerical error, or misinterpretation of the law,' M.

A double station Is being cut on the 1200 on both the north and south sides of the shaft, and will be completed in a few days. The usual procedure will be followed of driving a crosscut out about forty feet before sinking Is resumed. While no startling strikes were made, development work is opening new ore and the mine Is reported in excellent condition.

At this stage it looks as If total ending-wH- h for th four mor,th December 31 will roach from 600,000,000 to 640.000,000 pounds. These transactions Include those for domestic use and export. The Copper Export association has been working with definite plans in view. It still has about 325,000.000 pounds of the 4(10,000.000 pounds taken over from producers last spring There Is a very important object In keeping down deliveries from these stocks. It is desirable to make the arrangement a financial success in addition to affording relief for the benefit of the copper Industry. The big Interests which have engineered this proposition will be highly pleased if they succeed In turning what was a necessity Into a decided financial success. It begins to look as If this achievement will be realized. Trade in copper has quieted down to moderate proportions, but the market holds firm at 13 cents to 11 cente for December shipment. Only a small tonnage is available at these figures. First deliveries are quoted at 13 cents quarter to 14 cents, according to News Bureau.
