Mont Ferry of this city, managing director of the Silver King Coalition mine of Park City, one of the larg- est silver and lead producing mines of the west, was greatly honored at the Silver Conference when he was chosen first president of this organization. Mr. Ferry has been a very enthusiastic member of the conference and has devoted a great deal of time In trying to bring about a movement for the stabilization of silver and the prosperity of silver mining. Mr. Ferry is in every way a high class man and thoroughly understands all the rudiments of mining and milling, and under his able management the Silver King Coalition mine has not only become a great producer, but the stock has doubled in value during the past year. He is well known throughout mining circles for his ability, and his selection to head the silver producers organization is indeed a great honor, and one which can only come to a man who is thoroughly posted in all departments of the mining game. It is the purpose and manifestation of a desire on the part of all members, whether representing large or small producers, as well as representatives of the leading smelting companies, to co-opera- te. Decision not to attempt to go into the export busienss at present, but to have the executive committee of seven members thoroughly canvass the situation and carefully consider vital problems of the enterprise. Determination to back the work of the new association with every resource of the industry. Preliminary formulation of plans looking to finances and the beginning of educational work to increase the use of silver in industry and the arts. The officers elected were: President, W. Mont Ferry, Utah; first vice president, F. M. Smith, Washington; second vice president, Charles Docking, Henry Montana; secretary-treasureM. Rives, Nevada; board of directors, W. Mont Ferry, Utah; Walter Fitch, Utah; F. Y. Robertson, at large; L. O. Evans, Montana; Chas. Docking, Montana; A. M. Morris, Arizona; Alfred Harrell, California; John G. Kirchen, Nevada; Clyde A.

Any silver producer or any person interested in the welfare of the silver industry may become a member of this organization. r, That there is a wanton waste of water in this city there is no question. However, if every tap was placed on a meter, we would have more than enough water for over 200,000 people. The neglect of meter legislation for the past five or six years now comes home strongly to the city commission. Mayor Neslen, who is also commissioner of waterworks, has now learned water user can run that the the water out of the pipes faster than he can put it in. non-met- GOLD FORMULA FOUND. Owners of gold are about to be dethroned if a reported process proves a success in making synthetic gold. It is reported that Professor Adolph Mithe, a European scientist, has found a formula by which he can turn quicksilver into gold, and if such is the case it will not be long before science will pave the way of turning other metals into gold. The idol of all history would no doubt fall from its throne if the new discoveries prove a reality. Gold then would be used only in man- ufactured articles required for endurance and of an untarnishable nature. The advance strides in chemistry may soon give up the secrets of the simple process of manufacturing and producing many of our valuable metals, as well as the diamond. We know the composition of the diamond, but so far no one has been able to produce a genuine stone. The secret no doubt will be solved some day. Jack Shafer It was anounced by the water department that 31,300,000 gallons of water wer.e used last Wednesday in this city. That means about 250 gallons of water for 125,000 people, or 156 gallons of water for 200,000 people. It seems impossible that such a large amount of water can be used in this city.

CANDIDATE Campaign headquarters for W. H Wattis in Salt Lake County have apparently been opened in the office of the county purchasing agent, City and County building, Salt Lake City, and the county purchasing agent is apparently campaign manager in this county, at least, for the Ogden candidate for the Republican nomination for governor. George Wilson, county purchasing agent, recently Informed a prominent Republican that while he was for Wattis, he was not taking any active part in the campaign. To almost any casual observer on the second floor of the Joint buidling, most any morning, the assertion of the well known Republican politician that he is not taking any active part in the campaign would seem to call for a liberal sprinkling of salt before swallow- You havent seen such a spectacle in your life before.

However, we note that these gentlemen religiously report to Mr. Wilson in his office every morning, hold a conference, then disappear.

We do not want a bond election. Several months ago it was hitned that a bond election at this time would be great for election purposes. The water situation was a good excuse and we now find several people advocating a bond election. The tax levy is high enough to provide money for the water situation and the people should see to it that the city commission curtail expenses in the various departments to provide money for water. 24 jMlilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllfe j Flower Shop I (Keith Emporium) Thoa.
