STEADY IMPROVEMENT MARKS MINING INDUS1RY IN UTAH; TWO MINES HUE OUTSTANDING ISSUES Park-Bingha- m and Eureka Lily Make Noteworthy Progress; Reconstruction at Bingham Camp Nearing Completion. The mining industry in Utah has made marked and satis-factory progress during: the past few weeks. This is the consensus of opinion of practically all the large operators of the state. In fact the industry is now on the threshold of a development pro-gram which it is believed will eclipse all former efforts. Two issues have been outstanding in the progress that has been made recently. These mines are the Park-Bingha- m in the Bingham district and the Eureka Lily in the Tintic section. From Sept 13, when the three mile job of rerailing was completed, to Sept 30, 1066 dry tons of ore were shipped. This record has been con-sistently maintained during the past 26 days of October. Values of the product are Improv-ing. An average of all ore shipped during September shows that the or carried $1.40 In gold; silver, 12.08 ounces to the ton; copper, .83 per cent; lead, 12.81 per cent, and line, 8.77 percent During October, values have averaged $1.60 in gold; 14.49 ounces in silver to the ton; copper, .93 per cent; lead, .1429 per cent, and line, 4.65 per cent Jhe compressor has been over-hauled, new dynamos, motors, drill presses and heating plant Installed. A new storeroom has been erected and also a change room with shower baths and other standard equipment A sawmill has been erected, with belts buried below the floor for safety. Lumber, wheeled in on trucks at one end, comes out the other sawed into finish mine timbers. New ore bins, capable of holding 820 tons, are being constructed. At the Eureka Lily shipments have , steadily increased , during the past ' few weeks. A good stops has been opened on the 700 foot level and pre-parations are being made to ship car of ore a day. Company officials stated a few days ago that the dimensions of deposits from which shipments are coming ia " about 85 by 50 feet The ore ia slightly mixed, but it makes a good average. . The Eureka Lily and North Lily, both of which are being operated through the Tint! Standard, are rapid-ly coming to the front and in another year should see both of them dividend payers. Other mines in this vicinity includ-ing the Silver Shield and the Eureka Standard are making good progress. The former mine is now pushing a drift toward the Tintic Standard ground with a 25 foot fissure as an objective. This drift has cut some highly mineralized ground and is now out a distance of 1200 feet from the mine shaft UTAH REPRESENATIVES WIN SIGNAL VICTORY IN DEFEAT OF DENNISON SECURITIES BILL States With Great Undeveloped Resources Saved Af-- i ter Seven Years of Hard Struggle; State Securities ' Director and Bank Commissioner Attend Nation-al Meeting. States with great undeveloped natural resources won a signal victory at the recent Convention of the National Association of Securites Commissioners, when the famous Dennison bill was repudiated. State Bank Commission Seth Pixton and Heber C. Hicks, di-rector of the state securities commission, were largely instru-mental in securing defeat of support of the proposed measure. The hill ha. hmn hefnre Contrress for the cast seven veara and had previously endorsed by every se-curities commission in the United States with the exception of Utah.. Under the terms of this measure a permit in every state would be re-quired before securities could be sold. It furthermore provided that no stock exchange operating in a city of less than half a million population, could have free use of the mails and other interstate commerce agencies. The bill had been fathered by number of middle western states. In commenting on the action at the national convention the Utah repre-sentatives said: "After seven years of fighting the Dennison Bill, we have finally suc-ceeded in getting the National As-sociation of Securities Commissioners to see the Utah viewpoint and the repudiation of such legislation as the Dennison Bill was almost unanimous. Not only the west, but the south and many of the central and eastern states are beginning to take the same posi-tion that the Utah Commission .has taken for seven years. The repudia-tion of the Dennison bill was antici-pated after the first session, but we were rather surprised ourselves at the overwhelming support given to us by the members of the association. "Western securities are standing far better today among the Eastern people than they have for a long time. The Securities Commissioners are begin-ning to realize that the great indus-tries of the country cannot go ahead without the development of the great mineral resources of the west and they also realize that capital is necessary for the development of those natural resources. With this condition pre-vailing, it is very necessary for the western people to use the utmost care in offering our securities in the east. There are still some states that are very much prejudiced against western securities and in order to break down that prejudice, we must demonstrate that the west is just as much in favor of fair and honest dealing as any other section of the country. "The new officers of the National Association of Securities Commission-ers are wholly in sympathy with the Western viewpoint and have outlined a policy for the coming year which will bring about a thorough investigation into general market and industrial securities. This investigation will in-clude the investment trust which is a new type of security on the market and which, according to the eastern commissioners, offers not only one of the best type of investment, but also one of the most dangerous and frau-dulent and this type of security will receive much attention during the next few months. The necessity of this in-vestigation will be realized when it is known that more than 100 of these investment trusts came into existence within sixty days. Some of these in-vestment trusts are worthy of the con-fidence of the people, which according to the reports given to the convention others are among the most hazardous securities issued." "Daddy Long Legs" Cast Hard at Work Rehearsing Play During the past two weeks or more the high school auditorium has been a busy scene with the cast of "Daddy Long Legs," rehearsing this popular play for presentation November 10. No effort is being spared by mem-bers of the cast and the director to make this performance a finished one in every respect Miss Candland, dramatic coach, de-clares that she is delighted with the way the students are adapting them-selves to their parts. Florence Gales as "Juddy Abbott," brings to her role a delicacy and sin-cerity that is most attractive; George Danlstrom as "Daddy; Long Legs," gives real depth of interpretation; Dorothy Barnard as a college fresh-man, is about as frothy as one could wish. Other character who are going well are Bert Giles, Mary Masters, Anna Steele, Esther Weisberg, Evelyn Viet-t- a and others. With this kind of a lineup the students are beginning to feel that Nov, 10 is going to be a red letter day. November 18 will be the Senior Hop. The seniors have spent their time and given their best qfforts to make this the most novel dance that has been given. If everyone does not have a good time at this dance it will not be the fault of the seniors forHhere is going to be plenty of enjoyment, so that if you are politely asked to buy a ticket just smile and do your part and the students promise you will have the best time of your life. An excellent program has been ar-ranged for the high school assembly, October 28th. The stage will be cleverly decorated in Hallowe'en ideas. The program follows: Selections Girls Glee Dance Pantomine ...Bessie Kappele Ethel Watkins Vocal Solo Mr. Fred Peterson Reading Ethel Watkins One Act Play "The Dwellers in the Darkness" Oral Exp. Class Principal H. R. Atkin this week made the following announcement re-garding the grading of scholarship: Up until this the Bingham High School has used Five Point Scale in Marking. A equals Excellent, B equals above average, C equals average, D equals below average and E equals unsatisfactory. Beginning with this year a Four Point Scale is to be used: A equals excellent, B equals satisfac-tory, C equals below average and D equals unsatisfactory. This change is made necessary due to the State ruling on the matter. Fires Cause Near Loss of Life in Bingham Canyon Children of Mrs. James LeClaire, 46 Markham, had a narrow escape from death last Monday when fire par-tially destroyed their home. Mrs. LeClaire was hanging out some clothes in the yard, when she noticed smoke coming from the roof of the house. She immediately turned in an alarm and rescued her children from the burning building after con-siderably difficulty. Prompt and efficient work of the firemen in keeping the blaze confined to the one house, no doubt prevented a most disastrous fire in the Canyon. The loss is estimated at $3,000. The house belonged to William Robbins. The second fire of the week occurred last Wednesday in lower Bingham, near the Denver & Rio Grande West-ern depot. Loss here aggregated $3,600 with practically no insurance. A barn belonging to the Bingham Mercantile company and a barn be-longing to Harry Steele and Tom caught fire. Five horses were burned to death and 12 sets of harness and eight wagons were destroyed. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
