Show f 1 i Tuesday, March 1, 1955 Page Seven THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE Theres More Coal in Less Time The coal industrys severe economic problems certainly cant be blamed on any failure to improve ' mining methodsCoals achivement in this regard is found in a simple set of figures. Since 1939, production per manhour jn industry as a whole has increased by 31 per cent. In coal, the increase has been 52 per cent. Where, in the prior year, hte miner -produced 5.25 tons of coal a day, he now produces eight, On op tof htat, the miner's working day has been substantially shortened, even as his daily wage has been very greatly increased. This has - been the result of large-scal- e mechanization of the deep mines along with the extension of surface mining under modem methods. Today the miner is a skilled technician, who bosses mechanical monsters that do the work swiftly, safely, economically, and with' a minimum of human effort. Its a notable fact that coal management has spent huge sums on this development during years when profits have been depressing-l- y - , - low. No industry is doing more, under difficult circumstances, to discharge its obligation to the nation. U. of U. Museum An idea of the type of animal life that inhabited parts of Utah some 100 million years ago can be gained by a short visit to the University of Utah Geology Museum. The Museum displays bones of four types of dinosaurs, huge thigh bones of the mammoth hairy elephant, bones of ancient races of horses and fossils of several small extinct animals. The completely assembled skeleton of an Allosaurus, a vicious d dinosaur several million years ago, rises 15 feet in height to dominate the entire mutwo-legge- seum. A visitor gets a quick idea of how big some of the Utah dino- saurs were by looking at the leg and thigh bones of the giant Brontosaurus. The bones alone are 11 feet thick. Sometimes the body Restoring Brouse Plants on Depleted Range Lands se Ftestoring big 'on plants depleted range lands over the state is the goal of a recent cooperative agreement between the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station and the Utah Department of Fish and Game. Importance of the project is readily seen since it is known that browse forage plants on limited big game animal winter ranges hold the key to herd numbers and future hunting success alike. At present the situation in Utah finds many of the more valuable browse species dead or dying, with game--brow- little or no replacepientreproduc-tion- . Much of the grass has. been destroyed by livestock overuse, thereby accentuating the competition between livestock and game for the available browse. Reseeding of grasses on overused ranges has helped the livestock situation in many cases and probably had an indirect effect on browse normally used by big game. Yet the browse-typ- e plants have continued to disappear or be depleted on many range areas. Limited data from minor previous experiments will be incorporated in the present work. It is expected that a number of major pilot plantings will be made in critical range areas. Game and range managers are agreed that artificial revegetation of game forage is a necessity on many ranges if game herds are to be maintained Afhuntable popu Full With our new type of power lations in the future.

Mounted skeltons and numerous models of other, prehistoric animals plus fossils of many lower types of prehistoric "life are included in the Museum. One special attraction is a huge relief map of Utah that shows on a relatively large scale all major geographical features of the state. The Geology Museum is one of three museums on the University of Utah campus. Each year hundreds of visiting students and tourists discover the unusual displays that make up the Museum.
