On the Mascotte tunnel level elec-tric lights have been put in, so that work around the launders may be accomplished without difficulty. The hoist house, pumping sta-tions, office and lower levels are connected by telephone. In a short time the company plans to have a motor installed to pull its cars to the west drift, where they will be handled by the Bingham Central Railway, which is owned by the Ohio Copper Company. Operation of pumps will be automatic and controlled by one man. The cage also will be changed over so that it can be run by those riding it. A relaying pumping system is used. Six Allis-Chalme- elec-trically driven, single-stag- e cen-trifugal pumps are used to lift the water to the surface of the property at Bing-ham. In all, approximately 6000 feet of redwood, copper-wire- d 10-in-pipe have been laid to carry the water fro mthe point in the Mas-cotte tunnel level, where it is collected, and up the Ohio Cop-per shaft, a distance of 1400 feet, to the surface, where it is dis-tributed over the caved areas in troughs. Recoveries High. Recoveries during this month have averaged 99 per cent., ac-cording to General Manager Samuel K. Kellock. A product carrying in excess of 90 per cent pure copper is being shipped to a Salt Lake valley smelter. When the plan was first un-dertaken, Superintendent Freder-ick Turner only figured on mak-ing an 85 per cent recovery with a launder capacity considerably exceeding that now used a total of 3200 feet, or 1600 feet on each side of the crosscut. Launders have been lined with gunite to prevent leakage. So successful has been this work that the first month the entire cost of the equipment needed to concrete the launders was made by increased production. In cleaning up, the scrap tin is washed off and then laid aside, the false bottoms taken out of the launders and the "copper-- mud" shoveled into mine cars capable of holding three ons of the product. Possibilities Vast Some conception of the great possibilities of the Ohio Copper Company's system of operation can be gained from the fact that during the last six months a space but ninety-si- x feet long and ten feet wide on the surface has been watered at the rate of about 450 gallons a minute. Al-though the company has pro-duced 2,000,000 pounds of copper from this section of the caved area, during the last five of this six-mon- th period, there has been no appreciable variation in the value of the water entering the launders on the Mascotte tunnel level, 1100 feet vertically below. Values of the water have held uniformly around fourteen to sixteen pounds of copper to the thousand gallons of water. As water carrying but eight pounds to the 1000 gallons can be hand-led profitably, at the rate the present area has been leached it i will take forty or fifty years to leach the enormous tonnage of ore proven by the company. And by the time the property has been once leached, oxidization will have been so thorough that the same areas can be watered again and large amounts of cop-per secured. CHIPS AND SHAVINGS AROUND BINGHAM Work on the new Dry Fork water line will commence in the near future. The contracts for the redwood pipe line were awarded to the Pacific Tank and Pipe Company of San Francisco, who were the lowest bidders on the redwood pipe line (6000 feet), also 6000 feet of the line. The D. C. Dunbar Company of San Francisco will also furnish 6000 feet of the line, and as soon as the pipe reaches here operations will commence it is understood. Jim Ayers, a former resident of Bingham, but now of Midvale, was in camp Wednesday visiting old-tim- e friends. Chung Hung Lee of the Ko-rean camp at the Boston Con. mill, was arrested the past week for disturbing the peace and was examined by doctors as to his sanity. He was adjudged insane and on Wednesday was sent to the mental hospital at Provo. The arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff W. Edging-ton- . A general reduction of wages, which became effective on Thurs-day, have been made by the dif-ferent mining companies of the camp. The reductions made rep-resent a cut ranging from ap-proximately 7 to 15 per cent of the former scale. Over-producti-and lack of buying demand, with continued high cost, has been given out as the cause of the companies reducing the wage scale. Also the surplus on hand in this country is continually being augmented by importations from South America," where, it is stated, the costs of production are lower than here. Altho the present domestic demand is very large, the European markets are not taking their normal supply, and this has affected the price. Juan Accosta is at the Bing-ham Hospital suffering from knife wounds as the result of an attack by Bicanta Jalaraz, at 147 Minnie Road, Highland Boy, on Sunday morning. Jalaraz is con-fined in the county jail. Accosta had been making his home with Jalaraz and got into an argu-ment about some money he had given to Jalaraz's wife for safe-keeping, which resulted in his getting stabbed. Deputy Sheriff William Edgington was called to the scene of the stabbing and immediately placed Jalazar under arrest. Charges will be preferred against Jalazar after Accosta's condition has been fully inves-tigated. Young Kwan, 46 years of age, attempted suicide by cutting his throat at the Boston Con. Ko-rean camp late Saturday night. Kwan, it is said, was despondent after losing a ranch in Montana, lie was removed to the Bingham Hospital by Deputy Sheriff Bill Edgington on Sunday morning..

Citizens of Bingham Please Take Note Prevention of Disease By Samuel G. Paul, M. D. The human body is more won-derful than any man-mad- e ma-chine, What man-mad- e machine can do such a variety of work con-tinuously for more than seventy years? Or what machine can repair itself as the human body does? How much attention do you pay to this machine to prevent a breakdown or a reduction in its efficiency? Oh, yes, in case of a break-down or great reduction in ef-ficiency you call the doctor, but why not prevent the' breakdown? In recent years we have real-ized the need of examining chil-dren to discover defects that in tetfere with the operation of the human machine. The discovery and correction of 'these defects means a healthy, happy, and more useful individual and there-fore a healthy, happy and more efficient community. In order to aid in the discovery and correction of defects and the prevention of disease, the Jordan Board of Education and the County Health Department have cmplyode school nurses, whose (Continued from Vngo 1) Barnacls on Whale.
