' The following poem, on Mother's Day, w3 written fey a iBingham sol-dier, Corporal William Louis Gard-ner, now in France, who enlisted early last year and received by friends here a few days ago: Mother mine I'm always dreaming of those days so long ago, When you 'clasped me to your bosom while you rocked me to and fro. And your loving caresses tingle as they did In days of yore, Through & heart that's yearning tor you, yeB, I'm loving more and more; You counseled me through childhood as a mother only can, Just making home a paradise till I grew to be a man, Then duty called me from yon to serre my country fair In a land all srlnzed with shrapnel and the fertile fields He "bare.

For Htm to cwmfort --wisely the fair-est mother dear, I love. II! COPPER C! IS I1B1 AS AH ElfIE Bingham's Great Surface Mine Shows More Than 100 Per Cent Increase in the Cost Of Production. ' The mind of the ordinary layman does not fully appreciate what is jneant by the more or less indefinite statements made of the rising cost of copper, for to the avet age person copper at 26 cents represents a large ' advance over 15 cents, copper, says the Arizona Mining Journal. The coil-ditio- n that is confronting the copper mines today, however, is reflected In a report recently issued by the Utah. Copper Company, where they show a. cost of 154 cents per pound, to pro-duce 92,000,000 pounds of copper the' first half of 1918. The Utah Copper Company probably has as cheap work lng costs as any company in the country and has conditions which make their cotts very low. They mine on a very large .scale, with steam shovel mining. However in 1SM6 the company pro-duced 187,000,000 pounds of copper at a cost of 6.S3 cents per pound. Ifere is an increase of over 100 per cent, the result of war taxes higher wages and increased cost of materials of all kinds. The report for the second Qua-rter of this year states that when the full effect of the higher freight rates, the 6o per cent raise in refining tolls and the July first wage increase is felt, there will be another jump of more than 2 cents a pound, which will increase the cost to about 17 V4 cents. The Utah Copper Company finds it necessary to set aside for taxes 3.231 cents for each pound of copper mined. Copper Company for 1916 was 14.22 cents per pound, which t dropped to 13.3 cents In 017 And to" 8.50 ceat - ' per --potlnd, estimated in 1 !. , IWhile the situation as 'it refers tJ the Utah Company is not tse.ioua, as it shows a considerable margin of profit, it can be readily seen that the situation in many of the copper mines is Berious; mines without the favor-able conditions enjoyed at Utah, for present high wages, Increased freight rates and heavier tolls for smelting and refining will eat heavily into their pre-wa- r surplus. 'llMFllLES IA III HID DIE : fourth Liberty Loan Drive Was Very Successful In This Camp -- With Quota Of $200,000 She Subscribes $383,450 Patriotic Citizenship Responds Gloriously To The Call Of The Govern-- v ment Committee Does Fine Work And Gets Best Results. j Wlren the subscription to the Fourth Liberty (Loan were all in last Saturday night the amount showed ' that'this camp had nearly doubled its Quota. Bingham was asked to raise 1200,000, and she raised 1383,450. The t drive was so perfectly planned and 'the work was carried on so system-- i atically that the snhscriptions were . obtained without confusion. The va-rious soliciting committee members knew Just exactly what to do and "they did their work well. However, the splendid results were not had . without much, work and much effort. ' A great number of men and women worked incessantly for many days before the campaign opened "until the task wan completed Saturday night. ' , There Is no denying the fact that this 'town has the good fortune-t- o have one of the best organized and most ' i efficient committees of any commun-ity in the entire country. The mem-bers have shown themselves to have the situation well In hand on every " occasion and the things they have ac-complished, to say the least. Is wen-- j derail. They have worked In season ! anabut of season. They have allow- - j , ed nothing to Btand In the way of keeping this camp from doing its i " best in aid:ng In the great war work. ) j It is people oi this type which shn 'I i Individuality to a c"'n'-t.- v wflji make swne -- " "(ft i licient In rendtrtng, 'ft than dft- "I ' era. And whll? ttis vomai.ttee. ' r serw praise ipr us unurmg eno; t.v 1 the ufjople themselves must be enm-- t mended In the ffighest terms for the-- J generous manner in which they hav responded to tho rdlls. While this camp is composed of some twenty-seve- n different national-- . itles that mixture is composed oT , much that is good, and the various i peoples have come forward with therr cash to loan to the government to as-- T gist In the winning of the war. Is this drive a great many people have donejjfheir best, fiot their bit. Those who have only done their bit have little to be proud of, but to the credit of the camp It can be truly said that' '. the great majority have done much' more. It only took this camp a few days to go over, the top, but when It be-- : came known that mwe would have to; be done to save the honor of the state ... ' Bingham took on new life and put new enthusiasm into the campaign to ' assist in making up for what might be lacking In other communities and by this drive she came near going over the top for a second time. In fact she only lacked 6,550 In ex-actly douM'nit her quota. The amounts subscribed at the va-rious agencies In the camp show the . following: - . Ttah Cooper Employes $ 75.000 Docton Con. Employes 45.000 Highland Boy Employes 61,000 ; - Citizens State Bank 43.01)0 . Bingham State Bank 42,0W) Copper State Bank 34.600 ; U. S. 'Mine'Employes 3(5.150 Utah Apex Employes 25,008 "Lark i.... 15.800 "U. S. S. & R. Co 15,000 I Tjfrtal ..1383,450 Bingham has always gone over the top and the spirit of aiding In thej work becomes stronger and stronger among the people of the camp. The feelinz Is becoming general here that the most one can do at home Is small when compared with what onr boys are doing and enduring at the front In France. With the amount subscribed B'nir-1m-stands high on the nation's hon-or list. There were many volunteer siir'P'lons here this time and this nW'thed helped much in boosting the grand total. ' "What Bingham has done should be an Incentive to other communities to mak" a .harder fight In future loans. BINGHAM BRIEFS Mrs. Katherine Ford has moved to the home of her son, iLeonard O.

The "buUnlng Is of s611d conoret and Is practically fire proof. .Located as it Is ft will afford much proteeton from a general fire In the busineffH section of t! ramp. Also It meanB another thing that will he a. great "ben-efit to the cam? T.nd that is the old ' livery, sta"ble on "Main street is to be more That tjulldlng "has ' alwady been "emptied of Ma', contents and the work of removing the old structure was commenced early this week. - The new building is to 'the town.

However, there are a great many cases of cold, and the similarity between the edd and the flu ceumjs some little apprehension in the matter of the ordinary colds. The situation has been closely watched and should there not soon be some serious devtSJopments It Is likely that thtre Win be some de-mand for opening plaves of amuse-ment which have been closed.

Democratic nominee for Trecinct Justice, of the Bingham District," Is the present Incumbent of the office and during the two years of his administration, has established a most enviable record. He has dis-posed of over one thousand cases both civil and criminal, and there has never been an appeal registered j against his decisions. Mr. Green believes in tempering j mercy with justice, and the first of-fender usually fares better than he ! first feared, but no clemency Is ever extended to the "offender who has I failed to learn his short coming. Judge Green has given his entire time and efforts to the welfare of the office to which he was elected by a 10 per cent vote of the citizens two I years ago, and can be found on the ' job at all hours when his services is required. Many times his court has been filled with offenders at 2, 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, following the raids of many deputies, and Mr. Green is alwayB on hand to represent the county and save the expense of committing offenders to the Salt Lake County jail, while awaiting the day of trial. Judge Green has probably been more active in all war work than any citizen In Bingham, acting as chair-man of patriotic meetings and at sec-retary of all Liberty Loan and Red Cross drives. As the local represen-tative of the Department of Justice, he has personally investigated every whisper of disloyalty, all 1. W. W. ac-tivity, and every n action that has ever been reported In the precinct. The voters of the Tenth Precinct are sure to recognize Judge Green's untiring labor for the past two years and in safety and wisdom endorse nnd him totlic office that he has so ably nnd efficiently filled during these very trying times. Advt. DEATH) OF MRS. SHELLEY Mrs. Lucy Shelley, wife of Joseph Shelley, died October 16 after a few days Illness of pneumonia.

P tmcia W, Qninn, was born In Cou y Leitrlra, " Ireland, May 27, 1872, nd immigrated to the United State vhile still in hln boyhood. Mr. Qulnn , von arriving In America come d tly to Utah. He has been a reside f Bingham Canyon, Utah, for the past thirty-tw- o yf.irs, and has always been recognized as one of the. raort representative, progressive and prosperous eltizens of the great cop-per camp. During the first years of the camp's hh-tory- , Mr. Qulnn be-en me connected with the Bell Trie-phon-e Company, and held the position of manager of the company for over twenty years, and enjoya the listinc-t!on of being a ni'inVT of tha tele-phone pioneers of America. In lSii". t'reMilent Clcclanrt ap-pointed FrmeU W Qulnn a Ding ham postmaster, which position he held nnd discl'arged with credit and efficiency for four years It was wlillo occupying this position a great conflagration swept the mining canip mt of existence. The Inhabitants of the camp were obliged to flee for their lives to the hills, but Qulnn re-mained true to his post, and nved not only every penny of the govern-ment property entrusted to Ms keep-ing, hut all the mining record of the great camp, which w fro the mly cop-ies of the titles then In existence. Concerned only In the welfr.ru of oth- - rrs, he allowed hia own home and his every worldly piMsesHion to feed the j tlarnes. Such Is Quinn's conce't'nn f ; duty. ! Mr. Qulnn is an expert accountant, and lias been given the appointive po-- 1 sition of town ch'rk, through six iif-- ferent town administrations nnd has held this position for the past twelve ' years, during this pericd he has han-dh-over one million dollars and each auditors report shows hU accounts balanced to a cent. That Is Quinn's standard of Integrity. Two y ars ago citizens of the tenth Salt Lake Cumnty precinct, elected Mr. Quirn to the position cf school trustee for the Jordan school district, and pupils, teachers, parents end tax-payers, all unite in declaring tn.it he Is establishing a most enviable rec-ord for harmony, efficiency and re-sults In the school work of this great educational district. When the Citizen's Stat.? Bank was organized, Francis W. Q;;inn was rre of the directors chosen to direct tho destiny of that financial concern. At the outbreak of the present war Mr. Qulnn responded to the government's j cull for financial assistance and con-- 1 verted his banking interest and per-- 1 sonal account Into Liberty Bonds. That is Quinn's idea of patriotism, Hiiiigham has mver enjoyed Demo-cratic representation m the legisla-ture of Utah, and this year Francis W. Qulnn, her ablest and best citizen, has consented r.t much sacrifice and personal losses to represent the citi-zens of the western section of Salt Lake County. He is a deep student of both state and national legislation, a large taxpayer, and the father of a large and model family. .Mr. Quinn's ability and qualifications, will lend ef-ficiency, stability and wsdom to the next law makng body that will repre-sent the citizens of the great com-monwealth of Utah.
