Bingham's Anniversary Seventy-Nin- e Years of Development Trans-forms the Place from a Sheepherder's Paradise Into the Greatest Mining Camp in the World. Seventy -- nine years ago this was lust month, Binjham Canyon given a name to distinguish it from other can-yons of the state. Since that time it has developed into the greatest tonage mining camp in the world, liy way of expressing appreciation of the fact that this paper enjoys the distinction and the honor of circulating as a disseminat-or of local news and good will among the inhabitants of one of the most interesting and really important mining camps to be found anywhere on earth, it proposes to devote this space to reciting a few historical facts in connection with the development of Bingham Canyon from its infancy to the present day and to present some authentic statistical data to substantiate the broad and sweeping claim made in the caption of this article. In October, 1347, Will E. Bingham drove his band of sheep in this canyon and referred to it as a "sheep herder's paradise".... It was named at that time "Bingham Canyon." The early settlers of Utah devoted their energies to agriculture and prospecting for precious metals was dis-couraged. When General Connet came to Utah, among his soldiers were a number of prospectors w ho had labored in the mines of California. Experienced miners were given leave of absence from time to time and in every way en-couraged to prospect the surrounding hills. To G. B. Ogil- - . vie, a farmer, however, belongs the honor of having dis-covered the first ore in this district. The mineral was found on what is now United States Mining campany property and was known as the Old Jordan claim. The really rich mineralized district lies within a radius of one mile, using the Utah Copper company territory as the center. To date the Utah Copper Company has moved 312,902,-60- 3 tons of material. This, if placed in railroad cars of fifty tons capacity, would extend nearly 30,000 miles. Present population, 12,000. Children attending school, 1,303. First mineral location made September 17, 1S63, under the name of Old Jordan. This is now a part of the United " States Mining Company's property. Number of men 'employed in and around the mines, 3 849. Monthly pay roll, $546,623.60. , Total value of supplies used monthly, $381,427.22. Electric power required for mining operations, 11,829 H. P. (not including steam). Pounds of powder used monthly, 421,778. Tons of ore and waste material handled monthly, Names of producing mines: 1. Utah Copper 2. Utah Delaware ' 3. United States 4. Utah-Ape- x. 5. Bingham Mines 6. Park Bingham 7. Ohio Copper 8. Utah-Bosto- n (New England) 9. Utah Metals and Tunnel 10. Montana Bingham. 11.

Three protective dikes have been constructed under direction of the company's engineering force, from the upper tunnels at the Four-a-lod-and the Inland levels which extend clear across the entire length of Sap Gulch. Last winter when a heavy, wet snow mantled the mountains in this vicinity ,the most disastrous snow-- - slide in the camp's history occurred, engulfing several houses and killing over a score of people. . As soon 83 the snow had melted, ;. , the Highland Boy mine started build ing its protective mine dumps. The ; waste rock' was piled on the moun-tainside in such a fashion that a broad, level expanse presents a bar-- L rier to possible avalanches, f The theory of the shelved dumps is that a mass of snow, responding to the pull of gravity and plowing down the mountainside, will lose its ' , impetus upon striking the ore dump. In event the slide is of proportions , sufficient to force its way past the I j dump, it is believed that the falling " mass of snow, tumbling in a direct " " drop from the top of the ore dump to the mountain slope below, will have a tendency to pile up and halt, rath--" er than t continue its downward plunge. Elephants Have Colds Circus elephants often suffer from colds and the method of treating them Is more or less difficult. However, one remedy that seems helpful at least Is to make the elephant Inhale boiling vinegar, which Is done by half filling a bag with vlnegSr and hanging it over the elephant's trunk so that It has to Inhale the fumes whether It wants to or not. The fumes are eld to be quite beneficial.

"A Reading From Homer" In Lout-en- s s paint-ing a professional Greek reader and Interpreter looks up from his scroll. A hunter lies on the floor. At the extreme left stands a traveler. The man with the harp Is Phaon. The beautiful woman Is Sappho. The leg-end concerning the latter two has been Incorporated In the painting. THE AVERAGE RES-IDENT IS LOYAL Every town has its disgruntled spirits, but the average resident is loyal. He prefers to buy at home. If he does not do so there is gen-erally a reason for it. Questioning his loyalty by continual preachings is likely to arouse in him a just spirit of antagonism. No buy-at-ho- campaign will ac-complish much if the merchants fail to do their part. If they have the goods and are prepared to sell them at competative prices, they should ad-vertise the fact. The campaign should start with the merchants them selves. It is proper that it should have editorial assistance but more can be accomplished in the advertising-co-lumns than anywhere else. Good mercantile service and good mer chandise well advertised, are the best buy-at-ho- agents, and render all other campaigns unnecessary. Bingham has plenty of merchants. The Stocks are ample, the quality un-surpassed; more Nationally advertis-ed goods than can usually be found in a town of its size, the service is unexcelled, the prices in many cases are lower than in Salt Lake City. No resident is going to send his or her money out into the cold world if they are made to believe these facts. The luring advertisements of the cash department store and the attractive cuts of the mailorder cat-alogue must be combatted. ; DEDICATORY SERVICES ; ' i f f , ,. .
