Funeral Services Held For Victor Eckman Funeral services for Victor . , Eckman, who was killed near . - Logan on Thursday last, were held from the Masonic temple at ; Salt Lake City on Sunday. The funeral was largely attended by , a number of his Bingham . X , " friends. The services were in charge of Wasatch lodge No. 1, '; : F. and A. M.,The principal speaker was the Rev. Elmer Go- -. . . shen, who at one time was de- - ' . ceased's teacher at the Gordon f , , academy, Salt Lake City. The - floral offerings were varied and , ,: ; beautiful. Mr. Eckman was ' ' born in Kansas City on Septem- -' - ber 1st, 1892, and about fifteen , years ago came to Bingham with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor ; . Eckman, and was beloved by all ., 4 with whom he was acquainted. ; ; He was one of the first to volun- - . teer in the officers' reserve f corps when the call came to join . - .'- - the colors during the World war and was first stationed at Camp 7 Funston, Kansas, and was later t ' transferred to Camp Bouregard, . Louisiana, near Alexandria, . ;. where he was assigned for duty - ' in the quartermaster's corps. At v this time the boys of the camp ' insisted he make a speech be--V fore leaving, which he did. At ' . the conclusion he was presented r with an envelope, sealed and ad-- '. !, dressed to his wife, with in- - structions to present the same to her, upon his return home in ' ' Manhattan, adjoining the camp. ! -- Upon opening the package it was found to contain a draft for ' ' $66.00. This was the first time it had been known to be done and it was truly a delightful re-- membrance both to Mr. and Mrs. 'Eckman to realize the esteem and respect with which he was held by the boys. Mrs. Eckman is the daughter of Judge and Mrs. E. E. Dudley, , has been left' with two daughters to mourn his loss, be-sides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Eckman, who are now residents of Salt Lake City. A coroner's jury will fully in-vestigate the cause of the acci-dent in the near future. Utah's Silver Outlook An Enviable One There is a strong probability the Utah production of silver for the year 1923 will exceed that of 1922, which totaled 16,800,000 ounces, and overtopped the out-put of any previous years. Should Utah's 1923 production touch a figure between 17,500,-00- 0 and 18,000,000 ounces, of which well-inform- ed mining men are confident, the state for the second year in succession would be the leading silver producer in the United States. So far as past records are con-cerned, it is doubtful if this rec-ord has been eclipsed at any time during the history of the United States. Neither Montana nor Nevada have ever produced as much silver even when fa-mous camps were producing their maximum. Certainly, even if Utah's 1923 record has been excelled, no other state can boast producing more silver af-ter fifty years of steady activ-ity than ever before. That Utah's production of sil-ver should increase this year is somewhat in the nature of a sur-prise, for, although output was held at a maximum until June, when the Pittman act expired, it was thought the production for the last seven months of the year would not be large enough to make an aggregate equal last year's total. The high price for lead and the splendid physical condition of leading Utah silver-lea- d producers are the factors responsible for the . wonderful record being made by Utah mines. Utah Copper maintenance of production at or near capacity levels gives the state an enviable position as a red metal producer. Arizona generally leads in cop-per production, with' Montana and Utah holding the second and third positions. This year, as a result of the remarkable record established by Utah Cop-per and the low price handicap imposed on Montana producers, local mining men predict Utah i3 likely to climb into second po-sition. Since silver production in the state has been so heavy it is reasonable to believe that Utah's 1923 total lead output will be a big surprise. From the point of revenue and dividends, the present year has been one of the most impressive in the history of Utah mining. Price of Lead Favorable The official contract price of the American Smelting & Refin-ing company continues at 7.40c New York. The position of lead continues substantially un-changed from that reported a week ago. Lead for shipment within the next month is virtu-ally unobtainable and prices up to 8 c, New York, are quoted. The amount of metal passing at premium prices is, however, neg-ligible. Most consumers seem to be well taken care of, for in-quiries have not been numerous. In the middle west the situation is equally tight and lead has been sold in small quantities during the week at various prices from 7 l-- 2c to 7 3-4- c, the higher price being realized on two or three orders placed on Monday, though some producers were still selling to preferred customers at the lower level. At least one important produ-cer feels that the market has about reached the top and that the fancy prices now asked for prompt lead will soon collapse to the level at which most of the metal has actually been sold dur-ing the last two or three weeks. Consumption continues excel-lent, but it is felt that present prices will stimulate enough ad-ditional production to take care of the demand, and that further increased prices are not justi-fied. Certainly, all producers have adopted a most conserva-tive attitude, fearing that an undue inflation would be follow-ed by a violent reaction. Aver-age price for the week was 7.45c, St. Louis. Marriages This Week ; Miss Nellie F. Sepsor became the bride of Harry Dalama of Butte City, Mont., on Wednes-- . day at Salt Lake. Miss Marie Pope of Copper-fiel- d was married to Joseph II. Bullock at the Holy Rosary church on Monday evening. The . . ceremony was performed by Father Ryan. The young cou- - pie are popular in Copperfield and their many friends extend greetings. Matt Pezel and Mrs. Mary Canich of the. Highland Boy were married on Wednesday at the Holy Rosary church, Father Ryan officiating. The couple are well known in the Austrian col-- 5 ony of the Highland Boy. telegraph Office to Close Earlier Beginning Tuesday next, the - Western Union telegraph office will be opened at 8 o'clock and will close at 6 p. m. From that date (January 1st) customers will be compelled to telephone ' their urgent messages to Salt Lake City. Mrs. Wm. A. Cole Called Beyond It is with regret we record the death of Mrs. W. A. Cole at her home at the Highland Boy on Tuesday. Mrs. Cole has been in ill health for some time and has had the best medical aid procur-able, without any benefits being accrued. Mrs. Cole is sumved by her husband and one son, William Roswell Cole, 9 years of age. Funeral services will be held this afternoon (Saturday) at 2 o'clock from the Masonic temple at Salt Lake City, under the auspices of the Canyon chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, of which order she was a member.
