In 1868, before the Ontario mine began to flood the world with silver, Alta was a busy little camp disseminating reports of silver-leastrikes and backing the reports with occasional small shipments of ore. Who first stuck a pick into the ground Is not known, though It Is related that grass-roo- t exposures of mineral were made at the Instance of tho Indefatigable Gen. Patrick E. Connor, of Fort Douglas, as early as 1861. The strike which gave Alta Its first million and, Incidentally, led to International notoriety, was made by James F. Woodman, assisted by three companions Chisholm, Woodhull and Relsch. A mineral-stainesurface streak tempted Woodman's pick and, 93 feet down, become a fabulous ore body. Tho "Emma" mine had been discovered. For flour, bacon and other supplies the miners bad gone In debt to Salt take merchants. Now the Emma Mining Co. was formed, and a large interest In It taken by Walker Brothers, storekeepers and embryo bankers.

For two years beholders were dazzled by the size and richness of the Emma. Scarcely less Impressive were the stopes of the Flagstaff, Just west of tbe Emma, also taken over by a British company.

Many persons think that because they can see certain small letters at a distance of twenty feet, their eyesight is normal. 2. Others who have been told that they are farsighted think that meama they can see objects at a great distance from the eyes. The truth of the matter Is, 'that while one may see small letters at twenty feet, he may, without realizing it, have to exert his eye muscles to the utmost to do so and secondly, tho term "farsighted" does not mean that one can see well at a great distance; It means that rays focus too far back on the eye. These two common mistaken Ideas concerning eyes, unquestionably prevent many persons from using corrective lenses when such lenses would lie of great value to them Los Angeles, Calif. Doffing the benny in Los Angeles' lifts (elevators to you) costs the city's hostel-rie- s an easy $100,000 yearly as a chivalrous tribute to Milady. But far from bemoaning such expense, P. G. B. Morriss, manager of the Hotel Clark, told a group of eastern railroad and travel representatives that the sum was little enough, and gladly would be doubled to keep Los Angeles on top as the world's most courteous metropolis. Morriss based his figures on the mileage turnings of the Clark's battery of passepger elevators. A survey, he said, showed that the Clark's lifts are compelled to travel an average of 13.25Q extra vertical feet per day because of the excess space occupied by hats worn over the chest of polite males in the presence of women passengers during peak load periods. Every such chapeau, carried athwart a manly bosom takes up pace ordinarily occupied by half a passenger hence compelling extra trips, Morriss said. This information was given the harassed agents assembled in the Clark to iron out conflicting wrinkles in the arrival dates of what agents said would bo some of the largest organized tours ever to come to Southern California. There tours are all scheduled for the coming summer. .. ibe Clark's elevator? tunv Dr. W. H.

"Our own hotel's contribution to this gallantry averages roughly $4,200 yearly in the form of extra manpower, wear and tear on machinery cables and equipment and increased power consumption. "This figure multiplied by the number of buildings and hotels where equal courtesy is practiced, easily runs the citys bill for this form of gentility, past the $100,000 mark.

The faulting of the Emma vein, followed by the domonetlzation of silver In 1873, was a serious blow to the camp. Then, in 1874, came a catastrophe which was to reduce Alta for a generation to the status An enormous of a ghost camp. snowsllde swept down from Emma hill at the north. The life was crushed from 60 men In buildings on the main street. There the snow was 40 feet deep. Fire broke out and added to the ruin.

A narrow-gaug- e rallrond gave some relief until high operating cost forced Its abandonment. The solution has been found in federal highways and autotrucks. Splendid roads up the canyons are nearing completion. Medium grade ore soon will be marketable. A mine as prolific as the Emma was developed on the Big Cottonwood side In 1914. It Is called the Cardiff". Economies effected by tke merging of older workings and coordinated, operations point to an era of low-coproduction.

Railroad locomotives back in grandfathers time may not have been as pleasing to the eye as the modern streamliners but their names were Just as fancy. A framed sheet dated 1889, which hangs in the Northwestern railroad station here, lists the names of 268 locomotives. At first the railroad officials apparently had little trouble in naming their engines, but as the road expanded names grew scarcer and they were forced to dig into mythology for such names as Achilles, Mars, Mercury and Cyclops. The first locomotives listed had comparatively simple names such as Pioneer, Union, Active and Rescue. But by the time the road had more than 200 engines they were known as the Maquokeeta, the and the Keweena.

The whole economic situation will be affected.
