The most important part of its new development has been in the main mineral bearing fissure, rtiich has been explored quite exten-ivelto the north, east of the No. 2 shaft on the upper levels. From these lisclosures the management is led to aelieve that ore deposits can be on up to within a few hundred feet of the surface and as these masses if ore are so extensive there is lca-soto believe that they will continue strong and in place ior at least an additional 300 feet above the 800 level. s of the ore shipped is a end product which carries values of 25 per cent. The mill is producing 150 tons of metallic lead a month. This plant has a capacity of 200 tons daily and much more satisfactory results have been obtained from its opera-ion- s this year than during the early stages. It is a combined chloridizing and roasting plant invented by Chris-enseand developed by the Holt, Hern and Knight interests. E. J.

The site selected for the steel plant includes a tract of land about midway between Provo and Springville and extends south to include about 400 acres known as the Springville pasture. The city officials and business men of Springville have already agreed to turn over the 400 acres to the steel people and it remains for the public spirited citizens of Provo to raise the money needed for the purchase of the other part of the large tract which 'will be required. Thomas Pierpont, who is the president of the holding company, says that the money needed to purchase the land will be raised by public subscription. He is confident that every resident of Provo will contribute acTo bring the cording to his means. steel plant to this valley will be the best investment that our people can make, says Mr. Pierpont. 1,000-acr- e which WILL CELEBRATE SIXTIETH In order to insure the location of the new steel plant in that part of the state the people of Provo are confronted with the proposition of raising the sum of $160,000.

According to the last annual report of the Utah Copper capping and ore, removed from the property to the end of 1921, amounted to 145,000,000 tons. As the ore reserves are estimated at 362,910,000 tons it is quite safe to say that the operations at this mine will some day surpass the Panama canal. ar a depth of the minimum repper cent of the maxresenting imum.

It was September 23, 1863, that the first mining claim was recorded in this territory, this being what is known as the old Jordan up in Bingham canyon. On that date twenty soldiers from Fort Douglas, headed by Silas Braun, made the discovery and it was at once staked out and recorded. The matter of holding an exposition to commemorate it has for some time been under consideration by the Salt Lake Com- mercial club. MINING NOTES.

Increased ore reserves have been developed on the 1,100, 1,200 and 1,300 levels. But what is more important to mining in the Park district is the development of ore in the east end workings of this famous mine on the other side of the fault beyond which many an thought that ore values aid not extend. Finally, development of the east end came, following the advice of Newton Dunyon, and marvelous results have ensued; big ore deposits have been unearthed and the Park district has been considerably extended old-tim- er in scope. Reports say that the Daly mine is running true to form, and that recent shipments of ore, recall the palmiest days of this old producer. Some of this recent shipment ran as high as 900 ounces in silver and the whole car averaged 500 ounces all of which envisions a quick return to dividend days. The Daly has been long noted for its high grade stuff. O. S. Pratt, representative of the Western Empire Petroleum company, operating at Coalville, has informed the Park Record that favorable changes have taken place at the well, of late, making the management more confident than ev er of striking oil in the near future. It is reported another oil rig will start drilling at Coalville soon after January 1st.
