MINE PROGRESS Amazing progress has been made in chemical and mechanical treatment of ores, so that ores once regarded as expensive waste are today producing good values; and capital is available in increasing amounts for new ven- tures. What the miner produces is new and clean and helpful. It is not a speculative trade, with a luckless victim at the other end; but a positive, valuable contribution to the worlds savings. In every way, the miner is a business asset to any community. Mines make the best possible local markets for farm and range products. They breathe courage and enterprise and vision as does no other investment or industry known to man. Mining pays splendid physical contributions to national prosperity; but of even greater value is its spirit of militant hope. If there is anything to mine in your proximity, organize and go after it. It will be a splendid stimulant merely to get the miners habit of hope, besides the physical reward that is now coming to the miner everywhere. Probably there has been more money made in mining in the west the past two or three years than in any other industry. Beginning with the first of the year, the Salt Lake Stock and Mining exchange has been booming and considerable business has been transacted in mining stocks on the exchange. non-competiti- The seat sale for The Vagabond King opens Thursday, March 17. HONEY PRODUCERS MINING AND INDUSTRY ORGANIZING Honey producers of the intermountain states met recently at Laramie, Wyoming, to consider the organization of a honey marketing association. A honey producers organization committee has advised with the United States Department of Agriculture regarding the organization set-uThe and operating methods. plan suggested contemplates the organization of the Intermountain Honey Producers Association. The proposed organization would promote the sale of Intermountain white honey under Its own brands and in retail containers, and will involve considerable advertising and publicity p Bee keepers in the states concerned produce a high grade of clover work. and alfalfa honey, which heretofore has not reached the eastern market in a pure form, but only when mixed with darker honey. It is believed there will be an excellent market for intermountain honey in its pure form. About 300 members will probably be included in the organization 'when formed. The states to be represented include Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Coolrado, and parts of Nevada and Washington. A rough estimate places the amount of honey annually produced in 'this region at about 20,000,000 pounds, worth, at present prices, from $750,000 to $800,000. Most of the bee keepers who are expected to join the association are car-lo- t producers, exceeds 30,000 whose average output pounds a year. Honey producers have not heretofore been particularly active In cooperative marketing. A large honey producers cooperative association existed in California during the war period, but became insolvent in 1921, after making excessively liberal advances for honey delivered to it. There are a few small honey associations in various parts of the country, but nothing comparable to the contemplated intermountain organization. Under the proposed marketing plan, all honey of the hame grade and qual- pinoM uouBpossu eqi Xq paipuuq be formed to operate a warehouse under the Federal warehouse act. Well, a patched-u- p navy will be all right if government can keep peace patched up.

In days gone by, the farmer had to dig out all the old stumps ; later they were blown out with powder, but today the Ducrest steel pump puller easily manipulated by one man, does the work so easily and quickly that no one need be bothered any longer with stumps. The Ducrest Steel Stump Pulled company manufactures a hand stump puller, and also a horsepower stump puller and stumps up to six feet in diameter can be pulled. Some farmers pull stumps for the other fellow during the winter months and make good money. Here is a chance for that school boy. LlORE POWER AVAILABLE mile transmisWhen the eighty-tw- o sion high power electrical line is completed, running from the Wheelon switchboard to the Idaho Power companys American Falls plant, there will be available in case of necessity to the Utah Power & Light company, some 30,000 horsepower of current. This work is undertaken at a cost of $500,000 and will carry 32,000 volts. Utah and Idaho are fast becoming a net work of high power lines which in the future will play a great part in the development of all resources of the two states.
