Tintic Anto Road Has Been Hade Mon Safe Work which haa already been performed on tba Enreka-Mammoauto road makes the highway a lot safer at the point of the mountain. At that place. the road has been Widened oat considerably and thia la only a part of the program that haa been mapped oat. The road will be Improved la various other waya and made safer by the erection of a fence or strong railing where there is danger of automobiles going over the embankment Sach railings are now to be found on dangerona roads In all parts of the country and there Is no reason why Tin tie amtor-Ist-s shoald not be safeguarded to sack an extent Already there have been a acme of bad accidents at the point of the moan tain, bat when the commissioners finish the present work snch mlshapa will no doubt be few and far between. Heavy traffic haa pat all of the Tintic roads In rather bad condition and they should bo dragged following each summer rain. th ATrovo In an effort to give the city of a and the mlnea a bettor water system the Chief Consolidated eo puny are now busy with changes and Improvements at the Homansvllls wells, It is. understood that under the new plan the water from wells will be pumped to a central point or raaervolr with small electrical pumpa and. a large pump tram the Gemini mine will be seat out to Homansville and used In lifting the water on through to Eureka. Frame structures over the Homansville pumping plants will also be replaced with fire proof buildings and there la no question but what these Improvements will aan a better and an uninterrupted Service for the people who are depending on this water system. Ea-rek- i various that TintiQ People ! Li Bad Aflto Oolliiion Wild and careless driving on tha part of Bingham and American Pork people resulted In a bad automobile collision on the state highway near the point of the mountain Just north of Lehl, the accident taking place last Sunday night. A party of Eureka people figured In the mishap. Kane Adams of Bingham was so seriously Injured that he was sent to a Salt Laks hospital and. other occupants of his car. received of a leas serious nature. The ear which theee meu collided with was owned by L. A. Walker of Eureka and was being driven by Elmer Duncan, also of this city, who Is a salesman for the Taylor Motor Car Co. of Salt Lake. In the car were Mr. and Mrs. Duncan and their youngest daughter. Mr. Duncan says that the car driven by Adams loomed Into sight as tha ' Walker car rounded a sharp motorists curve, , the Bingham traveling at such a high rate of speed that the car could not be forced back on Its side of tho road in time to avert a collision. Mr. Duncan made an effort to get his ear dear off the highway but did not have time to do so. The auto salesman was taking the Walker ear to Salt Lake to turn It In cm a trade for another machine. ee He says both cars were so badly damaged that they are of but little value and that between tho time of the accident and tba early morning, when a wracking outfit was sent out to take the Walker machine to Salt Lake, thieves stripped the auto of casings and other things of value. Adams suffsred from a crushed right foot and leg below the knee. He was seat to the emergncy hospital and later removed to tha Holy Cross hospital where It waa .found necessary to amputate the limb below the knee. ...

B. Loose and aasodatea are soon to be rewarded tor their faith In this well known property. For some time Important things have been happening at the Iron King, although but vary little news has leaked througk to the lot because Mr. Loose Bebnd tastiest Goes To Es Remnl t 'News of the death of President Warren G. Harding was flashed over the wires last evening, being received In Eureka some , two hours after the beloved chief executive of the nation hhd died at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, where for several days he had-beewaging a fight against pneumonia contracted while on his visit to Pacific Coast cities. It was a stroke which caused the death of the president as all the bulletins indicated that the lung congestion was clearing and that the fight which President Harding was making against the dread pneumonia would be a winning one. The death of a president Is always a calamity and the passing of President Harding has not only brought intense sorrow to tho people of the United States but to" the ontiro civilized world. But few men who have oocupied the presidential chair have been so generally loved and respected by all classes ; no high official could have been possessed of more genial and pleating disposition ;no executive that this nation has had was more democratic in actions or more determined to accomplish as much good as possible during his term of office and it is most distressing to even think of the sad circum-- , stances surrounding the death of Warren G. Harding. May his rest be peaceful. n Tintic Mill Preparing To Close Soma time daring (ha next month or two tha Tintte Milling company will complete a cleanup of tailings" on which the plant is now being operated and It is generally understood that preparations will then be made for a temporary shutdown. Officials of the Knight Investment company admit that such action waa decided on at a recent meeting of tha board which controls tha milling plant. For soma time tha Tintic mill haa not been getting tonnage enough to Insure Its operation at the highest stage of efficiency, there being lots of low grade ore In this district but not all of It Is amendable to this The chief process of milling. object of the plant Is to save the silver values and tha slump In the price of silver naturally dealt the local mill a hard blow but there are reasons to believe that when the shutdown comes operations will not be suspended for a long period of time. For many years the Tintic mill has operated In a successful manner d while the earnings of the plant have never been large the owners of the enterprise have been satisfied with a small margin of profit, being repaid to a certain extent by the knowledge that the mill was performing a wonderful service for the mining Industry of Tintic as It took care of on that did not contain values enough to withstand the of shipment to the heavier smelters. During recent years some very .refractory ore was put through the mill and natually all of the values , FIREMEN At the Volunteer were not saved, hence the management has found It profitable to gain work over a lot of the mills tailings, which have been kept operate and which form a very valuable stock pile. Buck work may keep the mill busy for the greater part of the summer and the sulphide ore necessary for the roasting of the tailings wlU come from the Iron Blossom and Tintic Standard property. Aside from this limited tonnage the miU will eontinue to take all favorable ora from other Knight mines, according to Supt. Lyman Baker, who also. states that as far as possible there will be a cleanup of all ora on band as well as supplies used In the operation of the plant It should not be understood thaaU of the stock pile that can be treated to advantage will be put through the plant In a short time. On the contrary there are thousands of tons of dump material which will doubtless be given similar treatment some time In the future. 8upt. Baker says that if It Is possible for the mill to get a sufficient amount of virgin ora to Insure a proper mixture with tailings from the stock pile the impending shutdown may be averted indefinitely, as operating expenses have been trimmed down to some extent. H. R. Trenholm, when asked what effect the closing of the mill at Silver City will have on the Iron Blossom, Dragon and Colorado properties stated that he did not anticipate further reductions In tha working forces for the reason that highly satisfactory smelting rates have been soured and under sm;h an arrangement ora of quite ordinary grade can be sent to the smelters. .

At a recent meeting of the state road commission final approval or endorsement was given the contract which last week was awarded for the paving of Eureka Citys main street. This means that everything Is now In readiness for this piece of work and Information received from the contractors Indicates that they will be moving their material and equipment onto the Job within the next week or ten days. These contractors have a few days work on another paving project In the northern part of the state but they have assured the city and county officers that the local Improvements will be taken up with as little delay as possible and If so we can be sure of their completion by the first of October. The e$st of the sidewalk and . street paving In Eureka Is to be around 986,000 and In round figures the citys portion of the expense will be 920,000, to which must be added the cost of larger water pipe for the business district, engineer's alary and some other expenses. Dr. Bailey and John Bunnell, members of the board of county commissioners, state that within the next few days a contract will be awarded for the paving project In Nephl - City which will extend through the limits of the county eat, connecting on the north with the strip of paving which was Installed last year. Nephl people are now busy removing poles from the center of the street and putting telewires In underphone ground conduits.
