A new industry for Utah, the production of resin (a varnfs'i base) from waste coal dust is now underway at the mouth of Deer Creek, in Hunting-to- n canyon, within a few miles of Price. From this resin, (a solid inflammable gum, exuded from pine trees) varnish is refined. Coal, as any school child knows, is a combustible mineral formed from vegetable matter under great pressure. Some of Utahs 196 billion tons of workable coal was formed from pine trees and is rich in resin, an amber material easily recognized by coal users. A lot of the resin is separated from the coal at the mine during the screening process, and the dust bearinng resin has long been cast aside as waste. In fact, Utah miners avoid the resin impregnated coals as much as possible because of the excess soot it produces. Only this year, however, was a means found to utilize the resin wastes, which now bids fair to become one of Utahs important industries. The funeral services for Oakes Ames Halstead, a pioneer of the Basin, were held n the Duchesne ward hall at 2:00 oclock last Saturday afternoon. There wa3 a large crowd of friends and relatives in attendance, and a beautiful display of floral tributes eloquently express-a- d the esteem of many friends for the deceased. The opening prayer was offered by Rulon J. Larsen. A trio consisting of T. A. Poulson, White and Edward S. Rich fang, I Need Thee Every Hour. John P. Madsen gave a tribute to the life of the deceased, having oeen acquainted with him since 1905, and knowing of his good life and industrious, kindly ways. Porter L.
