UTAH COPPER AND UTAH MEN Utah Copper company per-sists in holding a commanding position on the New York stolk exchange. Although many is-sues have tumbled to new lows or this year. Utah Copper has held strong, with general up-ward trend, selling now frac-tionally above 65. The com-pany is operating at about 75 per cent normal, finding some difficulty in obtaining workmen. The company has spent in the neighborhood of $4,000,000 in iixing up its plant at Magna which is being put in operation as quickly as units are com-pleted. Control of Utah Copper com-pany has passed to the Kenne-co- tt Copper corporation. The stock transfer indicated that mostly the larger stockholders made the transfer and no more transfers will be accepted by the Kennecott company. The Utah Copper is producing copper at slightly above 8 cents a share, according to the company's last report submitted by President D. C. Jackling, which is giving it a good margin at the present prices. Utah copper continues to hold the premier position in the mining world as one of the greatest single mining enter-prises. By continual improve-ments in its processes and man-ner or producing, this company not only keeps abreast of all other large mining enterprises, but seems to be just a step or two ahead of the most progres-sive. It is interesting to note that many of the promising young mining engineers at pres-ent associated with the Utah Copper organization are grad-uates of the University of Utah FOURTH CELEBRATION IN FIREMEN'S CHARGE " .i The Fourth of July, celebra-tion here will' be in charge of the local firemen.

JOHN Daring Raid cf Massachusetts Man Had Consequences That Were Felt for Many Years. Stephen Smith of Machine, Maine, a delegate to the Massachusetts con-gress, made a raid on St. John, N. B., In August, 1770. He burned the bar-racks and destroyed the fort, which was protected by only four men, and captured a brig, of 120 tons, laden with oxen, sheep and swine, which were Intended for the British troops at Bos-ton. This sudden raid had the effect of putting the British authorities on the alert, and vessels of war were sent to cruise In the Buy of Fundy to pro-tect the settlements along Its shores. The people of Machlns, emboldened by the success which attended their first raid, attempted to seize and hold the fort at St. John, but were driven away by a force sent from IJnllfax. In consequence of this second raid on St. John, a block house and stockndes were erected on n hill overlooking the harbor, and dignified by the nnme or Fort Howe. Two years after this event about 000 Indians assembled at the mouth of the Jetnseg for the pur-pose of destroying the settlement of Maugervllle, but the people escaped across the river to Oromocto, where a fort had been erected. This wns the last threat of Indian war, and In the following yenr, 1780, numbers of In-dians assembled at Fort Howe and swore allegiance to King George. Plan to Mark Historic Sites at Yorktown After the lapse of nearly a century and a half It seems highly probable that something will be done to pre-serve and mark the fclstorlc sites In Torktown, Va., the scene of Lord Cornwallls surrender and of stirring incidents In each succeeding war of the nation. Yorktown was partly de-stroyed by the British In 1812, again by the Union troops In 18C1, and dur-ing the World war Torktown was an Important naval base and mine depot. The Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities has preserved many Interesting relics and maps, and a movement Is now on foot, fostered by the Colonial Dames, to have con-gress appropriate a sufficient amount to restore the ancient fortifications, lay out roads, and erect monuments and markers at the historic sites. Torktown, established in 1601 by de-cree of the king of England, was pur-chased from Laurence Smith. The sire covered RO acres, and was paid for with 10,000 pounds of tobacpo, the currency of the colonists. It occupies a bluff above the Tork river, and prior to the Civil war was a r"vn of con- - and various redoubts erected for the defense of the town against Washing-ton and his troops. There are but two monuments at Torktown. The most Imposing one, standing within the town limits and overlooking the York river, was au-thorized by a resolution of congress on October 20, 1871, but was not erect-ed until 1881-8- It cost $95,000, and Is a memorial of victory. The Inscrip-tions tell of the surrender of Corn-wallls, the treaties of pence that fol-lowed, and other historical state-ments. The monument Is 05ft foot high. Marks Surrender Spot A plain little marker stands on the probable site of the surrender. It was built by a superintendent of the national cemetery which adjoins It, who was hopeful that the government would erect a larger one In time. Dis-putes arose as to the exact scene of the surrender, and no action has yet been taken. The marker, scarcely 20 feet In height, Is slowly dlstlnte-gratin- g. Original fortifications, built by the Americans and British, still are In a fair state of preservation. One of these is Fort Hamilton, a British re-doubt, so named because It was stormed and taken by Col. Alexander Hamilton in the latter days of the siege. It Is to preserve and properly mnrk these historic sites that the Colonial Dames are bending their en-ergies to have a sufficient approprla-tlo- n made by congress. r Surrender Monument. slderable population. On the main street of Yorktown was the first cus-tom house established In America, the port of entry for New Tork, Philadel-phia, and other northern cities. Oldest House Still Occupied. The oldest house now standing In Yorktown was erected In lfi!0. Its brick walls are still In an excellent state of preservation, and the house Is occupied as a residence. The York-tow- n Inn, another landmark, was erected In 1725. and here were enter-tained many dtstlngultdied visitors, In-cluding Washington, Cornwallls, La-fayette and Virginia notables of the Colonial period. The present eourthounn stands on the site of the original house of Jus-tice, which was built In 1M7. but like n majority of the original structures, ras destroved by Union troops dur-ing the Civil war. Other historic places are the Nelson bonne, head-quarter? for Cornwallls during tho ulcge of Yorktown; the Monro house, where the articles of surrender were lrnwn up; Cornwallls' cave, which he ucl tis a storehouse tor ammunition.

"Efficient Public Service" EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL FOR THE HOME I r.,,,KMJ CAN'T FOOL DIAMOND DEALER Men Who Handle Precious stones Have Many Ways of Detecting Those Which Are "Fakes." For the reason that the traffic In Imitation precious stones Is growing, diamond merchants nowadays are obliged to devote more time than for-merly to the detection of fakes. The experienced denier can often tell a faked stone at a glance. Once suspicion fulls on a stone It Is subjected to various tests. For ex-ample, the gem may be placed In wa-ter, and watched to see If It loses Its brilliance. If this happens, the stone Is discarded at once as being false. Another water test consists In plac-ing a drop of water on the stone. The water globule Is then touched light-ly with the point of a pencil. If the globule breaks the stone is a fake. Sometimes a black dot is made on a piece of white paper, and the dia-mond held In front of It. If the stone Is an Imitation the dot appears blurred. The hardness of a stone Is another deciding factor. A real diamond can be filed with the hardest Instrument without being scratched. A faked tone will crack and probably break np under the process. July Fourth Backward again our country looks to ea The far beginnings of this fateful day; This day which once meant death or liberty, The opening of a new and untrod way.

Charge for admission to the British museum In Bloomsbury, London, does not at present Include the famous read-ing room, which Is alleged to possess the largest dome In the world. Many professional searchers earn precarious livelihoods In this splendidly appointed library. According to the Manchester Guardian, an expert reader was recent-ly offered 40 to summarize a Latin life of one of the popes. He demanded 80, but some one else did the work for five guineas (about $2o). One man copied all the old prize fights for about 35 cents per 1,000 words, and It recently came out In evi-dence thnt a retired clergyman trans-lated Italian stories for about 25 cents per 1,000 words. Innumerable readers search guides to horse racing, a West-minister city councilor used to work there with regularity, and several re-tired generals from the array are among regular attendants at the Brltr Ish museum reading room. It Is stated that recently a Klengle of the Ku Klux Klan asked for English law, with chap-ter and verse, as to right and left-han- d flogging.

But It Is bard to believe that any change of the perspective will dim the brightness of his lyric achievement.
