Ubes Should Get Lover Ssdter Rates Change in price of silver ought . . to be followed by downward revision of smelter charges and cheaper powder. i What will the Utah smelters do for tha mlnaa of thia stata now that these properties are confronted with a lower price for silver? Will ther Co right along under the present high smelting rates or will they try to bring about a downward revision of their charges? Another question that operators are asking Is: When are they to get away from the war time price that is being charged for powder? The powder expense Is one of the largest that enters Into the operation of a mine and when people make the statement that silver properties were operating profitably with silver quite dose to the fifty cent mark they fall to call attention to tjie tact that at that time the cost of powder was ost about one-hawhat it Is now costing. If there was any reason for the present exhorMtant price of powder It would not be so bad. but everyone realises that there Isnt. Powder can be manufactured, and no doubt It Is being made, today Just as reasonably as ten or flften years ago. In fact everything points to a gradual lowering qf manufacturing costs by the use of Improved machinery. It la high time mine. operators demanded a lower price cm powder and It Is likewise an opportune time for the men who control the big smelting concerns to get busy and show that they have the interest of the Industry at heart and are anxious to see a continuation of the mining prosperity of the past few years. Smelters cannot make money unless they have ore enough to keep in . operation at somewhere neat capacity; to do this they must reduce their rates cm certain classes of ore. To refuse to do this would be to kill the geese that are laying the gold and sliver eggs. , lf A No Elaborate Program For Independence Day . 'JL ' ' Mayor John Church states that there will be no elaborate program in Eureka on Independence Day, the members of the council having discussed this matter to some extent and decided on a few' entertainment features for the children. Later in the year, following the completion of the Main street paving, the city officers will try to arrange a big celebration. Two notices must be published before the paving contract can be awarded and this will require about a month and a half but the Job of paving, once It Is started, can be carried through to completion In short Nothing can interfere with the paving project going through suoessfully before fall. ' e order.- l - Paving Celebration To Be Held On June 22nd What About Scenic Utah Lehi-Tint- ic And Wendover Route? people who live outside of Salt Lake are wondering what effect the adoption 'Of the Wendover Route Is going to have on the scenic section of Utah, which lies to the south of the etate capital. Salt Lake people eeera to think that after a tourist has arrived at the capital, coming In over one of the roads leading from Colorado, he has seen everything there is to see in Utah and they can send him on his way to the coast by the northern route. The fact of the matter la that Salt Lake City does not contain all of the attractions of Utah although It does contain those which are best known to tourists, including the historical buildings of the Mormons and the Great Salt Lake. The scenic sections of southern Utah should be visited by all tourists but about nine out of ten will hasten on the California, over the Wendover Route, without learning much about the state; providing that road la Improved and all others neglected. There Is merit in the movement which has been launched to more thoroughly advertise the southern part of the state and popularise a route that will carry thousands of visitors to the coast 'over a route that will give them a chance to see more of the scenic wonders of Utah. New Branch Road In Park City District o -- A branch railroad - will line be built between Park City and the mouth of the Ontario drain tunnel by the Union Pacific system in the near future at an approximate cost of $400,000. This announcement was made recently by B. E. Calvin on the receipt by him of authority to proceed with the construction. "We will start work on this branch right away," said Mr. Calvin, "and complete It this summer. Its construction means much to the mining men of that section and no time will be lost There are but five and three-tenth- s miles of track to be built, but It will be difficult construction and will cost In the. neighborhood of $400,000." Building of the new road will be a boon to development of the rich virgin mining territory lying to the Mat of the Park City district proper, which up to date has produced over $200,000,000 In minerals. Although the greatest benefit will be derived by the largest producer In this ares, which uses the Onthe Park-Utatario drain tunnel as an entry to a rich virgin territory, development of other properties will also be stimuh, lated. o Midway Phosphate Was Examined During Week B. F. Flelner and Geo. W. Weed, who are Interested In the property of the Midway Phosphate Co., located In the mountains to the north of Heber City, made a trip to that section on Thursday. James McHugh, one of the original owners of the phosphate claims who was Instrumental in organising the present company, has been on the property for the past few weeks arranging for a development campaign.

' Fine Bunch Lead Encountered stock has furnished the sensation for the week on the Salt Lake exchange, many thousands of shares changing hands on an advancing market, following announcement of a new strike In what la known as the lower tunneL This strike Is without a doubt the most Important ore disclosure that has taken place under the present management of the North Tlntic property. At various times the people have encountered small bunches of ore; only recently they cut through a promising bunch of lead on their 100 level;- but the strike which has Just been made has of permanency. all the Manager Zabrtskle states that a very short time ago he decided to take up work on a well mineralised break on the tunnel level, where he did some prospecting shortly after he took charge of the property a few years ago, and the drift had progressed only a short distance when It showed great Improvement and a Lehl-Tint- lc few more .rounds brought It Into a fine deposit iff lead ore. While some picked samples will carry aa much as 60 to 60 per cent lead the ore as It la being broken down will likely run around 10 per cent, making It a fine shipping grade with lead at Its present price. The ore when first encountered was around three feet In width, and apparently making strong above the drift, but In the twelve feet that It has been followed it has opened out until today the entire face of the drift Is all In ore. Borne ore is piled up on the dump and as Manager Zabriskie puts It: "The ore will have to pinch out mighty quick or we will soon have a shipment ready for the market. There Is no question but what this la the beet showing that the Lehl-Tinthas had in many years and while It is perhaps a little early to make predictions the strike ought to put this property Into the producing claes. Developments of the next few days will be watched with much Work on the new mill of the Imperial Lead Mining company, with holdings at West Tlntic, la being crowded with all reasonable speed, said President W.

The Imperial Lead has already ora, shipped two cars of first-cla- ss carrying average values of SO per cent lead and has a considerable tonnage of milling ora blocked out.
