Serial 034969 Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat., 437,) and regulations thereunder approved April 1, 1920, circular 679, the Secretary of the Interior on the petition of George V. Ivory and Joseph F. Livingston has designated as coal leasing unit 54$, Utah lOg, lot 4, Ej2 SWi, SE1- sec 7 tp 22s r 3e slm Utah, 276.90 acres, and has directed that the same be offered for lease without competitive bidding. Lease of said unit will be made at a royalty of 10 cents a ton, mine run, an investment requirement of $10,000 during the first three years of the lease, and a minimum production requirement of 8.000 tons a year commencing with the fourth year of the lease, and otherwise substantially in accordance with the lease form set out in paragraph 18 of the tions. Said lease will be awarded in this office on the terms set forth, to the mercial and interest bearing; second, to assist the railroad company in an early completion of the railroad up the canyon; third, to continue the development in a degree that the mine will be ready for quantity production as soon as transportation facilities permit and the market requires. Talking of market, there was on the part of the uninstructed and uninformed the contention that we have an overproduction of coal anyhow and there is no market for the surplus. Those who can read the signs of the time, cannot have any other conviction but that the market is here now, is getting better from day to day and soon the demand from railroads, shipping companies and industrial estab- in the intennountain counbe so great that the sale will alone try of an output many times the size of the present production is an. absolute certainty, and following the natural law of supply and demand, the price for the black diamonds is bound to rise. On account of a decrease in the production of mineral oil which is being used for fuel, there is a movement under way which coal experts and economists call a back to coal movement. In addition to the more local intermountain market an enormous demand is developing on the Pacific coast, not to speak of the growing demand for coal in South America which later will have to be supplied from this country. But this is not all of the story. Often enough we have referred to the dormant resources of Sevier county in metals and minerals. With coal so near, the dormant resources will be awakened from their sleep and will rise to life and activity bringing prosperity to our people in a measure we hardly dare to dream of.

Consult County Clerk or the Respective Signers for Further Coal Vein is Impetus for Tapping of Eight-Foo- t Greater Activities; Sevier Valley Coal Company Ready to Forge Ahead Recent events in Sevier county as reported in The Reaper of last week and in the present issue are mighty inpromising for the development of The dustrial life in our , valley. things we allude to are the tapping of the master vein of coal in Salina canyon by the Consolidated Coal Co.; the activities of the Sevier Valley Coal Co.; the proposed construction of the Salina canyon railroad which will commence next month; the upward tendency in the coal market as evidenced in the big contracts let for coal by the Utah Copper Co. and the bids asked for by the Southern Pacific railroad for a five year contract with option to be extended for ten years, to furnish them coal to the amount of two thousand tons per working day; the movement to develop our potash deposits by establishing an experimental station for using the alunite ores so abundant south of Richfield as fertilizer, and so on. We are, no doubt, on the eve of happenings which will bring Sevier county to the front and make it not only an agricultural center as it is now, but also an industrial center of vastest possibilities. That the master vein was arrived at after moe than a year of patient digging into the depths of the canyon formations is a great thing not only for the Consolidated, but also for the other coal companies under development, and especially for the Sevier Valley Coal Co, with offices in Richfield. The tapping of this vein corroborates the findings of the extensive diamond drilling conducted by the Sevier Valley Co. prior to the beginning of operations tending to exploit the patented and leased coal lands the company holds in the canyon. The diamond drill disclosed the location of high grade coal about 165 feet below the surface of the place where the shaft is now being sunk. This layer of coal correlates with the vein just arrived at and, in fact, with the coal strata in Carbbn county. Conservative figuring leads to the conclusion that $15,000,000 worth of coal is stored there in the viscera of the companys holdings waiting for the enterprising hands and minds to recover and utilize it. This, of course, gives the work of the Sevier Valley Coal Co. an impetus as nothing has done ' before, and it does not find the management sleeping at the switch either. Even to those bond buyers who were somewhat doubtful and considered buying the bonds a gamble more than anything else, it becomes clear now that it was not a speculation but a sound investment. The total of the first bcjnd issue was $100,000, and every bond is a first mortgage not only on the $15,000,000 buried in the bosom of mother earth, but also on the equipment the management has installed in so efficient and economical way, that everything is ready to produce 500 tons of coai per eight hour day at any moment and to be changed to a capacity many times as large when conditions so require, and to do it in such a manner that not a piece of lumber and not a single bolt of the present equipment will be out of use or wasted when the change takes place to an increase in daily capacity. It is devised by a master mind in engineering. It is, therefore, no wonder that the bonds found willing buyers and that over of the entire issue is disposed of in spite of the fact that the bonds are not bearing any interest but instead carry for the holder a partnership by giving him an adequate bonus in stock of the company. If the installations at the camp are a masterpiece in engineering, the plan of such bonds is a masterpiece in financing, saving to thr company, which means the stockholders, huge sums in interest and preventing watering and freeze-ouWith the larger part of the issue now disposed of, the directors are ready to plan the second and larger bond issue. The money derived from this issue will be used first to pay up tho. e who desire to get their money back, or to exchange the bonds of those wmo ere willing to hold them against new bonds which will be com- - Clerk John R.
