From the "pep" exhibited at this meeting the coming year wHI certain-ly be a real Legion year. The Bing-ham Post meets every second and fourth Friday evening at the Masonic , HaH. on a 6 per cent grade to insure free passage of the sludge to the sampilug machine. At the end of the launder Is a .screen, 8 to 10 feet long, through which the fines pass directly into the coneshaped tank of the machine. The coarse material goes over the screen to a small gyratory crusher, where it is crushed before falling into the cone-shape- d tank. Sludge agitator that revolves near the' bottom, and also by compressed air under 70 lb. pressure that enters through o n. line near the bottom. By means of these two methods of agitation, the sludge is thoroughly mixed before being al-- 1 lowed to pass out through a valv-- j at 'the bottom Into two revolving pipes, or distributers, that convey it to the split divider. This dilder is so con-structed that three separate samples can be obtained from the game sludge. The divider has ten openings, over which the distributers pass, and the size of the samples can be cut to any desired proportion by opening or closing the divider openings. Tims, if a 26-l- hole was being drilled, one ' opening would be left open to give a sample of about 25 lb., and If a 10-i- n. 'hole waa being drilled, three openings, j probably, would be left open to obtain the same weight of sample. Construc-tion and arrangement of the divider divider is .simple; four openings that lead to the hopper for one sample are in the form of a cross; ' the second ' sample is obtained from another cross that leads into a separate hopper equipped with a pipe discharging into an outside tub; the third sampl? somewhat smaller in bulk than the other two, i3 taken from two other ' openings. CAREFUL DUPLICATION OF ORE SUNK AT ; UTAH COPPER MINE SAMPLING CHURN-DRIL- L SLUDGE AT THE UTAH COPPER MINE. BY L S. BRECKON Geologist, Utah Copper Company, Bingham, Utah. 1 When ore and waste rock are dif-ferentiated from one another by a ' ' margin of only a few hundredths of 1 . Ier cent of metallic content, special methods of exploration and sampliug must be employed. If subsequent mil-ling operations are to be Intelligently planned. Conditions of this character prevail at the large open-c- ut mine of the Utah Copper Company, situated in Bingham Canyon, Utah. Two types or churn drills are used in prospecting . the monzonlte por-phyry orebody: the Star gasoline-drive- n rig for holes to a depth of 800 feet, and for deeper holes the Stand- - rd oil rig using electric power. The latter rig has proved very satisfactory at the property. A derrick 75 to 80 feet high, with a base 20 ft. square, Is used on all the ridge. Because of the long string of tools required to . drill to a depth below 1,000 feet, a derrick of this height is required ; ' otherwise it would be impossible to handle the tools with ease. The( string of tools comprises a drilling s4', ' bit, an auger stem, jars, a sinker bar, , and a rope socket. ' V : START HOLES WITH 26-I?- J. ': ; CASING. As most of the hole8 are drilled on 'igf" the benches of the mine through ma-- j ' terial slightly loosened by blasting, H ' they have to be of a large diameter L when .spudded. Generally a 26-in- .. bit I Is used for this purpose, and a 26-i- n r; stovepipe casing is carried down 8u or 100 ft., depending cn the to w.hieh the ground taves. At this point ' a 23-i- n; stovepipe casing i8 inserted., and carried down as far as possible that is, until a cave "freezes" it. ' Reaming, to allow the casing to go tot ri ' a greater depth, is commonly resorted ' to when the casink will not follow the bit. It Is not desirable to l ave an j open hole more than 40 feet below j the bottom of the casing, as consMcr-- v f able caving always takes place In aa uncased hole, and thi3 has a tendency I to make the .sampling unreliable. The ideal procedure would be to drill 5 feet, and then drive the casing to the ( bottom of the hole before drilling deeper, but this would be too expens-lv- e, on account of the delay occasion- - ed changing from the drilliug tools to the reaming tools, and viee versa. Forty feet of uncased hole, j r however, is the maximum drilling in- -, terval, if accurate samples are to be ASSAYS. Three separate samples are thus ob-tained from the same pulp. One is sent to the mine assay office for ana-lysis, one to the assay office at the mills, and the smaller sample from the two openings 18 cut down to five pounds by means of the splitter. This sample Is 4 then placed in a 5 gal. wet sample can to furnlsir a composite sample of every 100 feet driven and to serve as a check on the individual 5 feet samples. It is alao used occasionally for making experi-mental flotation tests. Samples for the assay offices at the mine and mills are caught in tubs, and thoroughly dried, without burn-ing, on a large sheet-iro- n stove kept at the sampling device. They are then sacked and tagged for their respective destinations. As all the sampling and quartering of the sample are dons mechanically, there shouldn't be any variation in the analyses of the two samples obtained. A specimen is .saved of every 25 feet of hole drill-ed in the porphyry, and of every five feet v'hen the hole is near the con-tact of the porphyry and quatzlte. These sperinfcns are examined by the geologist to determine the minerals contained and the character of thej reck throi gh which the hole is drilled. A daily report is prepared by the sampler, showing all facts that miciu be of importance in keeping a com-- 1 plete record of the hole. A log of1 each hole is made by the geological department. This log includes the casing record, copper and iron assays, character and minerals of the rock, faults encountered, delays at the drills, points of caving of the holo, and any other Information that may 1 ave a bearing, on the orebody. Be-sides this, a record of the assay re-turns from the mine and mills Is kept, and when'there is a variation of over 0.05 per cent copper between the mine and mill assays, duplicate analysea are made of the pulp. The duplicate assays are then averaged, and the average is used as the final grade. The procedure described in the foregoing has proved very satisfactory in sampling the low-grad- e porphyry orebody, as all cutting of samples is done mechanically, and the human lement Involved is reduced to a minimum. It has been found that returns are obtained from the two pulps analyzed If the quarte-rly is done by hand. As a few hun-dredths' of 1 per cent difference in th coper content of the assays differ-entiates between ore and waste in the disseminated copper deposit, ev-ery possible precaution is taken to ob-tain accurate samples. obtained. Sampling at the churn drills Is un-- l der the supervision of the geological department, and the sampler assigned to each rig i8 directly responsible to j the company geologist. As samples j are taken every B feet, the sampler Is continuously occupied in taking, dry-ing, sacking, and marking samples, and In cleaning launders, splitters,, tubs, and sammpling machine rifter j each sample ls obtained. A card Is placed in each sample sack, showing the date the sample was taken, thej number of the sample, the depth of hole, and the number of the hole. 5 After 5 feet ls drilled, the tools are taken out, and either a dart or suction ' . bailer I8 used to remove the sludge from the hole. The suction bailer is preferred in this work, as it removes all the fines that may have collected at the bottom of the hole during the drilling operation. As the fines car-ry a large portion of the valuae me-tallic mtterials, it is essent that they be removed to obtain a true sample of the depth that has been ' drilled. Twelve ballings may be ne-cessary to remove all the sludge in a wet hole, whereas five or six woild V he sufficient in a dry hole. This pro- - cedure is carefully watched by the sampler, and his reports show the number of bailings made to obtain each sample. Sludge from the bailer 18 discharg-ed into a launder, 2 feet square in cross-sectio- n, which is constructed close t,o the drill hole, and which leads to the sampling appliance. This launder is never more than 65 to 80 feet long, and ls built LEGION AUXILIARY. The American Legion Auxiliary met Friday evening at the Masonic hall to complete their organization for the coming year. . The Lrsion auxiliary has always bevn an active unit here in Bingham and a great deal of credit is due these ladlos for their work in connection wit' soldiers of the late war and their families. This meeting was the first one un-d-er the new officers which are; Mrs. Paul Ransom, unit President; Mrs. If.; O- MrShrne, Fee.-Treas- !; ": Mrs. Ren Nichols, Vice - Pres.; Mrs. Lee Jones, Historian; Mrs. C.. W, Adderley, Ser-geant at Arms; Mrs. Wm. Mace, Chap-lain..

LYNCH CALLED Mrs. Beatrice Klncald Lynch, wife of Mr. Brent T. Lynch of the First National Bank, ' passed away at a Salt Lake hospital last Sunday morn-in- g, after a brief Ulneas. Tha sudden passing of Mrs. Lynch wasagreat Bho'cli to her friends here, many'oi whom were not aware of her illness. Mrs. Lynch was a native of Salt Lake City where ahe received her education and grew to womanhood. She taught school in Idaho for a time and after her marriage came to Bing-ham where she has resided for the past five years. During this time she has made a host of warm friend? here who were .shocked at the news of her sudden passing. Mrs. Lynch was the daughter of Samuel and Clara Young Kincade of Salt Lake City. In addition to her parents she Is survived by her hus-band and one small .son, to whom a host of frlendg extend sympathy. Funeral was held yesterday at 2 P. M. at the S. M. Taylor chapel. In Our Own Interests It has been the policy of the Bulletin to adhere most strictly to non partisan discussion with regard to the aspirations of any particular political candidate. Any publicity therefor that has appeared in this publication in the interests of any party or candidate has beapiidLfor by them at ...the regular political &dr vertising rates, and so stated at the time of its insertion. As stated in our last issue this will continue to be our policy with regard to polices. This we fee! is one of our first duties to our readers. However we also feel it our honest duty to give to our readers information that will be of most intrinsic value to them in the se-le- c inj of any political candidate when the opportunity avails us to do so. In this connection we wish to call attention to the candida-cy of Ernest Bamberger for the United States Senafe. ' Because of the fact that the principal common interests be-tween this particular district and the candidacy of Ernest Bam-berger are vita1, and paramount to our own citizens; we feel that jr. the s ncere advocation of the promotion of the mining, milling mid smelting industry in the Copper District, a vote for Ernest Bam-berger is a vote for the personal interests of all who are dependent upon the mining industry for their livelihood. A Utah Engineer, most heavily interested in Utah industries of the most widely varied nature. A pronounced business and financial success which would lend the utmost dignity to the office if he were eleo'ed. A pub'ic spirited individual seeking no recogni-tion for ixia charities which have been very generous along many charzisV man who will stand with and for the dauntless prin-cipals and tariff protection policies expounded by the Honorable Reed Smoot and a man of National recognition who will fight for and uphold the interests of the laboring man above a!l others is the character which Ernest Bamberger represents. The people of this Copper, Smelting, Milling and Mining dis-trict should be most vitally concerned in electing a man to the United States Senate who will stand firs,t and foremost for the welfare of his constituents. A man who will vote to protect and uphold the mining interests of Utah, which will in turn be a vote to better fill the lunch buckets of those people who are in that in--1 dustry which is the very heart of our great state. It is with the future interests of our own people at heart that we have taken the liberty to bring these forementioned facts to the attention of our readers and to urge that they be most serious-ly considered on November sixth. . J. C. PENNEY CO. MANAGER LEAV-ING FOR. CONVENTION-- . R. H. Evans, Manager of the J. C. Penney Company store in this city, left for Ogden, Sunday, to attend the semiannual buying Convention iof store pianagers for the company. The Convention will be held at Hotel Bigelow. ' Over 1,050 stores will be repres-ented in the eleven district conven-tions which will be held during the next five weeks in the most central locations throughout tha -- United States. "The Buying of all merchandise for each store Is done by the local man-ager, said Mr. Evans. "Extensive assortments of all lines of merchandise are presented at the convention by the Buyers from the York headquarters who are specialists in their particular lines of merchan-dise, and who are engaged every. day of the year in sifting out of the mar-kets the smartest styles and the most outstanding values. "A very rigid policy of the J. C. Penney Company is maintained con-stantly, in the buying of only such merchandise which measures up to an exceptionally high standard of quality. ' , "During these conventions, tha merchandise is selected by each man-ager, which in hi8 judgment is most suitable for the respective store, and by a daily contact throughout the year between every store In the chain with these highly specialized buying departments, the very latest in style and the most outstanding values are constantly maintained." ' The facts which Mr. Evans jilves ; regarding the growth of the J. C. Pen-- ; ney Company are very Interesting. j He states that since the establishment " of the first store by Mr. J. C. Penney j in the little mining tewn of Kemmer- - ; er, Wyoming. 25H years ago, 1025 tores are in actual operation and the i sale8 quota of --196,000,000 which the Company has set for this year, will in :, all probability be accomplished. t - . I . SCHOOLS CLOSED MONDAY. t.ast Monday was a holiday for the studentg of the schools of the Jordan District. This, to give all pupils who desired to do so, a chance to attend the Golden Jubilee celebration at the State Fare which is being held this year. Many took advantage of the occasion and attended, and all who did attend, declared the exhibit to be superior to anything heretofore at-tempted. The Fair Commission has put forth great effort to make this, the fiftieth exhibit, one of surpassing features; their efforts are being well rewarded. The weather, so far, has been Ideal and attendance records have been broken each day. Every available Inch of space which bag been provided is occupied and this includes many additions recently-made- . activities at the Highland Boy Com-munity House. Miss Sarah Wether bee, of Charles City, Iowa, hag also Joined the staff of deaconess workers this past week. She will aid in the work at Highland Boy and at lower Bingham. Miss Jessie Fitch, who was here last year, is back at Highland Boy where she is again assisting with the work. , The Sunday Schoolg were last Sunday both at Copperfield and at the Community House, with good atendance for the first day. Sunday School at Copperfield at 1:30 o'clock, at Highland Boy at 2:30. All the children of these communities not al-ready enrolled in some other school are Invited to come. COMMUNITY CHURCH.
