The com-ing meet promises to be one of the biggest and best that has ever been held in the state. Provo boasts of the best and fastest track in the state, and under good weather conditions several records will likely be lowered. On account of the number of. schools participating in track work this year a system of eliminations will be car-ried out in the division meets on April 30 in order to reduce the number of entries for the final meet. It was de-cided that only first and second point winners will be entered in the state meet, providing such men make the time or distance in the various events as follows: 100-yar- d dash 11 seconds. 220-yar- d dash 25 seconds. 440-yar- d dash 67 seconds.

H1-B11U0-. ELECT OFFICERS i FOR YEAR . within the deposit The thickness of the ore varies from a few inches to slx feet. The vein is well defined and the ore is found as a replacement of a bedding which dips to the west at an average angle of 28 degrees. A total of nine upraises from 12 to 135 feet, respectively in length, were made within this ore body, and a winze has been sunk a distance of 110 feet down upon the dip of the vein, and it lays entirely within the ore. All the above mentioned developments have not ex-posed what, under present conditions, would be considered commercial ore, but show plainly the great extent of mineralization persisting to greater depths on the Mayflower vein. Stockholders Stage Annual Meeting and Choose Officers Ballantyne Is President Report for Year Shows Deficit of $15,329.48 Leaser Strikes Good Ore Body. At the annual meeting of the stock-holders of the Montana-Blngha- Con-solidated Mining company the follow-ing officers and directors were elect--. ed: C. G. Ballantyne, president; E. A. , Vail, vice president; J. B. Mossman, secretary and treasurer; W. E. Hub-bard, L. B. McCornick, Imer Pett and John A. MrCandless . of Honolulu. The annual report which was made to the stockholders at the meeting show-ed that during the year 2,267 feet of work was done, $71,999.56 worth of ore was shipped by the company, and $9,147.55 was shipped by leasers. The income of the company for the year was $74,284.12. During the year the company paid Simon Bambarger $75,-00-0 on the purchase price of the prop-erty, leaving a balance of $25,000 which is due July 1, 1920. A comparison of the balance sheet for 1918 and 1919 shows the following: Total liabilities, ' 1918, $393,656.33; 1919, $232,899.79. Capital stock outstanding, 1918, 1919, $2,367,391.00. Total capital and surplus, 1918, $3,-- . 196,987.76; 1919, $3,270,698.78. President Ballantyne says: The fol-lowing Items in the general balance . sheet under the caption "Other Lia-bilities," have been paid:. Overdraft, $366.57; unpaid labor, $1,558.82; ac-counts payable, $555.00; vouchers pay-abl- $2,915.45; and of the Item notes payable, $15,500.0C $8,000.00 of this has been tuid. roiuaial.ig $7,500.00 is made up r no'. "'-'-t interest of $2,500.00' given the Henry Water- - , h rase Trust, company o( Honolulu for --V ., Jervtcea Tendered and " expenses in-- . curred on behalf of the company and $5,000.00 due Bothwell ft McConaughy for money borrowed in 1916, against which there Is an offset of $3,795.32. . Shortage of Funds. On account of the shortage of funds it was necessary to shut the mine down during the months of February and March, retaining only the services of watchmen on the Bingham and For-tun-a sides of the property. The fore-man on the Bingham side, Harry Bow-man, being confident that we were close to the ore bodies in the No. 2 south drift, submitted a proposal to continue the drift for another 100 feet, taking as his pay the ores found in " this distance, with the privilege of raising ten feet above the floor or three feet above the roof of the drift. This proposition was accepted and in comparatively few feet (about twenty-five- ) he encountered the ore body. The first shipment of this ore was made March 19, and the smelter settlement, on the 26th, amounted to $284.38; sub-sequently four other shipments were made, amounting to $862.83, $1,024.02, $1,224.37 and $808.74. respectively. This showing warranted a resumption of operations on the part of the com-pany and shipments have continued practically without interruption since that time. There were seventy-on-e carloads shipped on company account during the remainder of the year, the smelter settlements including esti-mated value of ores at smelter, amounting to $71,999.56, although there was a material drop in the price of copper after the signing of the armistice. During the months of Jan-uary and February, this year, we shipped eighteen carloads, the smelter 'settlements of these and three addi-tional carloads carried over from December were $14,501.11, to which much be added royalties of $1,119.43, making a total of $15,620.54. Earnings of Year. For the first half of 1919 we oper-ated the mine at a loss of $10,661.33, while during the second half we had a mine profit of $26,531.02; the net profit for the year on mine account being $15,869.69. Office and adminis-tration charges, bond interest, etc., ab-sorbed this, and left an actual deficit of all accounts of $15,829.48. While the New York price of copper is taken as the basis of settlement, we do not re-ceive that price for it here, as the smelter, In addition to other deduc-tions, deducts 2.65 cents from that price to cover cost of transportation to New York and refining charges. The company has outstanding bonds of the face value of $178,600, and 2,367,-39- 1 shares of stock. The company also has a contract for the purchase of the Tiawaukee group for $37,500, which also carries a penalty of $10,000 a year until the full consideration is paid. Of the work done in the mine, Thomas Billings, engineer for the com-pany, sa'ys: The only ipportant ore develop- - ments were made on the Mayflower vein, which has its outcrop on the Fortuna property. This vein for a number of years has been productive . of both lead and copper ores obtained from workings in the Fortuna mine. The extension southerly of what is t known as the Mayflower No. 2 south 5 drift on the Montana-Blngha- tunnel level encountered an ore deposit and ' has developed it for a . distance of about 500 feet along the strike, the present face of the drift being still - i GUN TOTERS FINED. One thing about some of Bing- - ham's citizens they are not at all gun shy. They seem to have been reared with a pistol in their hand instead of a bottle. They shoot with the ease and freedom of a Bill Hart and generally con- - 9 duct themselves in a manner en- - tirely becoming to the wild and woolley days of the old frontier v times. . . Such gentlemen, whose aoces-- tera must have been road agents, judging from his actions, now draws free rations and compensa- - tion from the county due to his love for target practice. It all happened like this: 'Twas not on a bridge at midnight but it was on the road to Highland Boy. Cy Jones, who romps around for the county in search of desperate characters, arrested a certain gent of questionable character In the Highland Boy district one day this week and loaded his charge into an automo- - bile prepared for a quiet trip to the sheriff's office. Just as the journey was about to commence two travellers cavorted around until they managed to get into the front seat of the car in spite of the home brew they had under their belt. One of these charac- - ters suddenly decided after the trip was well under way that his trigger finger needed exercise so he whipped out some small artil-- lery from his rear and put over a pretty barrage, using the creek as his observation point. It all ended when the car drove up to the sheriff's office and the young and ambitious gunman found him- - 4 self under arrest charged wf' intoxication and carrying and fir- - ing weapons. Bob Conchar and J. M. Conchar were the names the two gents gave who formed the gun squad. COACH TO GO TQOGDEU "Stubby" Peterson has Accepted m Position With the Ogden High-- ' School.

Nor a moment to spit on him hand, As anyone will in a hurry, He let things get by, now and then; In all the excitement, and worry. That he should have done over again. So rather than mess up the outfit, He saved every blunder and blot; And laid it aside in the ocean, To use at the end of his plot. And the sixth afternoon of bis con-tract, His brain, expiring that day, He bailed out the dregs of creation, . And shoved the latter away. He scroffed all the wreckage and tailing, And the leavings and scum 5f the dump, And he made on the shores of the Arctic, A great international dump. He rushed the thing through in a hurry, And because of the hurry he was in, He dubbed the location Russia, And Russia it always has been. And feeling blue, and sarcastic, Because it was Saturday night. He picked out the worst corner of all And called it Archangel for spite. It's there they do everything back-wards, f And the mud doesn't dry between rains, There money and sawdust are plenty And thieving is better than brains. It's the land of the Kike, and Bohunk, The herring and mud colored crows. My strongest impression of Russia, Got into my head through my nose. It's the land of the infernal odor, The land of the national smell, The average United States soldier Would rather be quartered in hell. Oh! it's back to the States for yours truly, I'm not wishing anyone ill, But Russia can hang, for all I care, And truly I reckon she will. Yes, it's back to the States for yours truly, A sadder, but wiser young chap, The Lord played a joke on creation When Russia He placed on the map. Author unknown. STATE TO PRESS THE MARY PICKFORD CASE Reno, Nev., April 12. Retained by Mary Pickford to represent her in the attack about to be made by Attorney General Fowler of Nevada against the validity of the decree whereby the little moving picture actress was divorced a few weeks ago from Owen Moore, Attorney Gavin McNab of San Francisco has sent a long telegram to Fowler at Carson City in which he re-quests permission to assemble the facts and the law in the case and to present them to Fowler prior to the filing of the threatened action. Fowler has replied by letter to 'Mc- Nab, in which he courteously but firm-ly intimates that the suit is to be filed at once and that he cannot agree to the proposition. The attorney gen-eral declined today to make known the full context of Mr. McNab's com-munication or that of his reply. He was willing, however to admit that McNabi sent htafljie wire. rHe asuertefr that the telegra mwas entirely lacking in any of the aphorisms which have made McNab famous, and branded it, for the most part, as "mawkish sen-- timentauty." "Gavin McNab does not say in so many words that he has been retained by Mary Pickford," said Fowler this afternoon; "but he makes it plain that he is speaking as her lawyer. He requests that he be allowed to assem-ble the facts and the law, and has so worded his desire as to insinuate that he would like very much to have me disist from filing the complaint until he can submit his brief. I have replied to him that I cannot com ply with his request. I don't care at this time to make his telegram public, but I will say that the astonishing! sentimentality that characterizes most of his communication surprised me. "I want to make it plain to every-one that I am going on with this case, and that nothing can deter me. There have been plenty of attempts within the last few days to bring influence to bear, in an indirect way, to induce me to quit. But the dignity of the law and of the state have been outraged by the principals in this Pickford case, and the decree will be set aside if I can accomplish it." BINGHAM POLICE COURT i " HAS BUSY SESSION In the city court John Tibbies was found guilty of assault and battery and Intoxication and was fined $100.00.

Only about 50 per cent of rough dia-monds are cut into gems and low about 60 per cent of their weight in being cut and polished. Diamonds are practically indestructible and the first diamond ever mlnea may possibly still be In existence. But estimate allows for the loss of at least 1,000,000 carats by flood, Are, shipwreck and V.hcr dis-asters. These reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished dia-monds at 40,355,474 carats.
