The veins have been proved to be mineralized fissures and the soluble character of the overthrust breccia is al3o well established. In the opinion of geologists these conditions make an ideal combination wherever mineral is sought.

Work on the totonan drift southwest from the tunnel has been delayed by a con-1De- 8e s een toued of miners, but some progress made during the week. The t which the overthrust is should be entered in a few ' well of the Monumental Oil company, Hulkito structure, San Juan field, rested in a hard brown formation believed to be the capping of the first pay sand, the Areola. Admonished by the occur- rence of oil in the limestone for nearly a hundred feet above the cap rock, Mr. Clark deemed it wise to prepare for any contingency. Accordingly, drilling was stopped and the manager, with his superintendent, H. E. Morgan, came to Salt Lake to procure a control head and other equipment that would be required in case the sand yielded a strong flow of oil. The articles will be shipped as soon as possible and rushed to the camp. It is only recently that the Areola has been considered a pay sand. The belief prevailed that the former production of the Areola well was from the Mendenhall sand. But examination of the San Juan canyon wells by a Monumental engineer gave evidence that the Areolas oil came from a sand above the Mendenhall and that the Hudson well, another producer, passed through the Areola without recognizing it or shooting it and encountered its pay in the Mendenhall. The Monumental is the first company to seek these sands south of the river. The preliminary showings of oil and gas in its well foreshadow a heavier oil deposition than was found to the north. The fossil limestone above the Areola capping i3, it is said, about five times as thick as in the Areola well and saturated to a far greater extent with the oH. Even though the sand is no more productive than it was in the Areola it will yield an ample supply of oil for fuel purposes and greatly facilitate the driving of other wells to the lower sands. The Mendenhall is believed to lie 300 feet below the Areola sand and the Henaker sand two or three hundred feet under the Mendenhall. The Hon-ake- r sand, it has been demonstrated, is below the deepest erosion in the field and should surpass both the upper sands in production. The Monumental company is increasing its boiler equipment and will begin drilling lower when operations are resumed next week. 11 of the mine owners is held to be propitious and to indicate greater produc- tion and greater prosperity for the camp this winter. , During last week shipments from the Park City district were recorded as follows: Ontario, 2,489,600; Park Utah, 1,926,800; P. C. M. & S., 1,469,-86King Coalition, 2,133,000. 0; Directors of the Park Utah Mining company, last Saturday voted to put a fifteen-ccn- t dividend on each share, which aggregated $150,000. This payment is to be made on October 2nd to all shareholders of record as of September 20. Payment of this dividend will bring the grand total of dividends for this mine up to $400,000. The record being made by the Park Utah Mining company, hardly five years old, is remarkable even in the annals of the Utah mining industry, which has a long line of producers that have established enviable names. In eight months since the first disbursement at Christmas time, of 5 cents a share has distributed a total of $50,000. Payrolls in all mines of the Park City district were advanced fifty cents per day, affecting all classes of miners, last week.

At the first one a committee was appointed to meet with the Eagle & Blue Bell and Tintic Standard mine officials for the presentation of which were published in these columns a week ago. At the. second meeting a strike was called for Wednesday morning. As near as we can learn the committee did not visit the mining companies, and as far as the strike is concerned it failed to materialize. Those who voted for the strike perhaps a dozen in all are understood to be men who are out . . cer-deman- ' t The Judge mine is reported to have opened a large vein of ore believed to be the downward extension of the fissure cut on the 1,260 level some time ago. This ore body was encountered in exploration work on the back vein of the 1,260 foot wall. Delay has been occasioned at the Park Bingham property because of the compressor fact that he second-hanrecently installed will not do the work. A new compressor has been ordered and is expected on the ground in the near future, and as soon as installed development work will be pushed wHh all possible speed .under the capable direction of Superintendent P. M. d Mc-Cre- a. i the tunnel has reached the 1, point on its way to cut the ore in the Harwocd workings. At about 1,200 feet further in it is the purpose of the. management to begin crosscutting to find the ore. The McCune tunnel has encountered many bad caves, but it is expected that the remaining 1,200 feet will prove easier working, enabling more rapid progress.

Reports from the Sphinx the past week are of a decidedly encouraging nature, and Manager Guy R.

Editor, The Citizen: The first charge of Kipling, as published in the Tribune of Sept. 12, namely: That oiir United States was more than two years later in getting into the great world war, is absolute- ly true and correct, even though all the rest of his accusations are untrue. Any man wtih fairly good common sense should have seen that it was inevitable that we would be drawn into . that world war. For more than two years before we got into it I told the people in the Idaho town, where I was living, every day, that we ought to get into it right away. We would have ogtten into it two years sooner if we had had a good Republican president in authority. But we had a pacifist president at that time who taught the people to be cowards and slackers by his tal kabout us being too proud to fight and by. his fraudulent campaign If slogan, He kept us out of war. he had kept up his dallying policy one year longer Germany would have won the war and the kaiser would have come over here like a Texas steer, with tail up and snorting. By not leading the country into the war two years earlier, that pacifist president made himself responsible for half that awful slaughter; hall that awful destruction of property and half of the dreadful suffering of the women and children in France. Also he is responsible for the dreadful condition the world is in today financially and economically, just because we did not get into the foremost of the fight two or more years earlier, as Kipling says. If we had gotten into it two ye.irs earlier we would not have had to send f as many men over more than one-hal- . |
