The announcement v;as made about 10 o'clock p. m. The overwhelming majorities seemed to stagger all who were anxiously awaiting results. Both parties put on' a decided fight to the finish and they both may be congratulated on the clean fight that was put on, without any mud-slingin- g from either side. The question of a mayor .to succeed Dr. Straup has been one of much com-ment, and altho it may be an acknowledged fact that a stronger candidate might have been-foun- than the doctor's opponent, the critics, who have been continuously at work, failed to find a man they could put in the field to oppose the President and the existing Town Board. If they could do so, why wasn't it done? That question may be answered in the following: Dr. Straup, since he has held Bingham's mayoralty chair, with his colleagues, has introduced cement sidewalks, better fire-fightin- g facilities, and in a few months, thru their Bingham will have one of the best water systems in the state, and analysts say, the purest to be obtained in these mountains. Dr. Straup is a staunch Republican and is recognized as one of the best-inform- politi-cians of the state. He has been a resident of Bingham for the past twenty-si- x years, and if he doesn't know the needs of the camp it would be a difficult task to find a man who does.

The Highland Boy, or Utah Consolidated, mining prop-erties here have been one of the most highly productive properties in camp and have paid out mil-lions of dollars in dividends. It is understood that the company has still a large area of ground that may be regarded as excellent territory. Highland Boy Mine . Officials Will Decide on Future A decision as to the future course, to be pursued by the above mining company will be expected this week at the annual meeting of the company in New York. A settlement has yet to be made of its indebtedness of approximately $1,300,000 for the judgment won from it by the Utah Apex Mining Company in apex litigation over disputed ore bodies. The decision to be made by the directors of the company undoubtedly will be as to wheth er the company will levy an as-sessment against the stock to liquidate the apex litigation judg-ment sum, or proceed with liqu-idation of its assets to pay as far the amount involved,. Since the company is incorpora-ted, for only a small number of shares, the judgment that was secured represents close to $1.00 a share on the capital stock. A. S. Winther, formerly mine superintendent of this property, was recently transferred by R. H. Channing, president of the company,, to Virginia City, Ne-vada, to take charge, as superin-tendent, of the Metals Explora-tion Company, which are oper- - Silver Question Is One of Import The hearings that have been held in the various mining states of the west by a representative of the Senate gold and silver commission . are bringing out much interesting information re-garding the mining industry, but just how much bearing it has. in determining the causes of the de-crease in gold and silver produc-tion- , which seems to be the chief , purpose of the hearings, is not clear to the ordinary observer. Lead and silver are the main ores mined at the United States and the Utah Apex mines, but the other copper properties here also carry some' silver.- The sil-ver associated is an important factor in determining the profits of mining. This district is there-fore very much interested in the success of any movement looking to the removal of the handicap to silver mining and to advancing the price to a figure that will encourage silver production. A comparison of the costs of min-ing now with that which pre- - vailed in 1913 is of value in showing the heavy handicap to which operators and leasers in this district are subjected. But it might be stated here that as far as we can observe the mining industry is in no way materially different to any of the other in-dustries. Christmas Seal Sale Organization of a central state committee to have charge of the Christmas seal sale, which opens in Utah on Thanksgiving day, was perfected at a meeting at the Hotel Utah. Nephi L. Morris will head the committee as state chairman, and James H. Wallis, executive sec-retary of the Utah Public Health Association, under whose direc-tion the sale is conducted, will act as secretary. Associated with them will be two representatives from every county in the state. The seal sale plans this year are larger and more comprehen-siv- e than for any preceding sale, according to Mr. Wallis. This is necessary, he says, to put oyer the program for the coming year's work. This year the anti-tuberculosis campaign, for the financing of which the seal sale is held, will take on intensive aspects of constructive work. Previously the association' has been concerned with making sur-veys and gathering statistics, so that the extent of the disease within the state might be deter-mine- d.
