Eulogizes Utah " Copper Management Felix Edgar Wormser, assist-- ; ant editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal Press, paid a, graceful tribute to Samuel K. Kellock and Fred E. Turner, manager and superintendent re-spectively of the Ohio Copper mine here. Mr. Wormser, in a lengthy article, says : "Let any man suggest anything new, un-tried or revolutionary and he will generally promptly be scoffed at, criticised and often ridiculed." Notwithstanding the criticisms, the result of their op-erations, that of leaching ore in place, has enabled the production of copper at a cost of between 7 and 8 cents per pound, against a cost a few years ago which caused the company to cease op-erating. "The most pleasing part of the story to the stockholders and directors of the company must be the fact that the experimental work and the installation of equipment necessary to insure continuous production by leach-ing was done without recourse to an appeal for funds. Mr. Kel-lock felt that by selling a few of the ore dressing machines in the company's large and idle 'mill at Lark sufficient money could be raised to purchase the pumping equipment and apparatus needed to give the leaching scheme a thorough trial. "He was authorized to do so, and with the $15,000 received from the sales, bought a moder-ate sized pumping plant and minor accessories. The work has been more than ever since. ..New Era-Qpn8.- ,'. K "The Ohio Copper Company had never been successful in its attempt to work on large scale regulation methods. The mill at Lark, a few miles away from the mine, failed to come up to ex-pectations after it was built and operated, owing to the difficulties involved in treating the oxidized ores which are such an important part bf the Ohio ore body. "Extraction was low and cost-ly and it has been estimated that an 18-ce- copper market is re-quired before the mill can make a profit. The very impediment of successful milling, however, is an advantage when it comes td leaching, as the oxides are read-ily soluble in the ordinary water used. Over 300,000 pounds of cement copper is being produced per month, an output that will be probably trebled by the pres-ent installation of larger pump-ing equipment. "Careful computation of the surface of the caved area shows that it contains approximately 840,000 square feet. In the oper-ations of the company up to July 31, about 1000 square feet of this surface had been covered, which leaves a large area still untreated. "The results that have been achieved were accomplished en-tirely with the poor quality of water available in Bingham Can-yon. Some day, perhaps, acid will be added to increase disso-lution, but no expense for chem-icals has yet been found neces-sary. "The present procedure is to treat a certain area of the mine and then to abandon that portion temporarily while another section is being treated. This is done i for the purpose of permitting further oxidization in the leached area After which it is planned to return to the first section and releach it. The treatment of original ore in place will also receive attention at some future time." CHIPS AND SHAVINGS ARQI1 BINGHAM Dr. Clark Young, graduate of the University of Utah, a mem-ber of the sanitary corps during the World War, a graduate of Harvard medical school, who also served a two years' medical inernship at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, is now connected with Dr. Paul Richards in the Bingham Hos-pital. Dr. Young will be found to be a practical and affable young gentleman, and we con-gratulate the management of the hospital in securing his services. Past President Dr J. A. Burns of Notre Dame was the popular guest of Father John Ryan of the Holy Rosary Church on Sun-day. The application of H. M. Nich-olson and George Kampros to operate a stage line between Bingham, Highland Boy and Copperfield has been taken un-der advisement by the Public Utilities Commission. The people of Bingham will learn with regret that the Coun-ty Commissioners have advised that the proposed four miles of pavement from the end of the present paved highway cannot be commenced this fall, on ac-count of the approaching winter, as little work could be done now without having it tied up by the frost.

Sealed bids were opened rn-da- y night for the furnishing of 12.000 linear feet of and 6,000 feet of redwood or creosoted fir stave pipe, so that contracts may be made at once for the installing of the new pipe line for Bingham's addi-tional water supply from Dry Fork. The town now has a clear title to 90 per cent of this excellent water and this matter should be considered by every voter in camp.

Education In Brief. A professional ball player nd man-ntr-of baseball teams has In a few words pointed out a fundamental dis-tinction between the edurated and un-educated mind. "The college boy," tie iih.vh, "or anyone with even a part-ly trained mind, trlea to find out his faults and correct them. The fellow usually tries to hide Ms." It Is clear enough which of the two will go faster and further. |
