During this time the Blue and White hoop-ster- s have rung up 130 victories as s against 40 defeats and has won the division championship each year ten years, with 78 victories in ths SI league games played. In 1919, as a member of the Salt Lake division, Bingham lost her first game, at Gran-tltl- e. In the Tournament, after beat-game- s from East, West, L. D. 8. U, U. of U.

EL S. U. in 1922. beating Moroni. r - and losing to Springvile, anl Boxelder In 1923 and winning fifth place in 1924 by downing Mantl and Ogden before . losing .to Panguitch and Jordan.

In 1926 the team won 8 of 10 games, and swept Beaver and Boxel-der to defeat only to go down 23-2- 4 before L. D. S. U., and later losing to Mantl, thus taking sixth place. In 1927 the Blue won nine of ten games, losing only to Murray, 4160 in a bit-terly fought, extra-perio- game, which was later avenged but a 86-1- trounc-ing given the Murrayltes. At the tourney Bingham smashed West Hi 35-1- but went down before Dixie 22 23, and Murray 26-2- In 5928 the team raced with Grantsville and Jor-dan fork the ltle. emerging with eight wins in ten games, after winning and losing with Jordan, and beating Grantsville 43-3- and 2819, Cyprus al-so gave" Bingham a close race, holding the Blue to a one point victory In both lf 'games played. At the tourney. Bing-ham nosed out Logan 30-2- in an over time game packed with thrills, and Sprlngville 19-1-7 in another thriller, but once again the Dixie Fliers proved a stumbling block in a heart breaking 23-2- game- - Tne yB came back, however, winning third place by up-setting the strong L. D. 8. team 29-2- with both regular forwards on the bench. v During these ten years, also, the Blue and White has rowned such teams ' as the University of Utah Froeh, the Utah Copper and the U D. S. Junior College. In the League games, Jordan has UTAH METAL A TUNNEL CO. HAS YEAR OP WONDERFUL DEVELOP-MENT. . Although very little has been said of this property, much has been by the Utah Metal k Tun-nel Co. d ruing the past year. This company has explored much new ter ritory during this time and has be-come a regular producer of commer-cial ores. The daily output at present time la around 100 tons. This ore Is shipped by aerial tram to the Inter-- national Smelter at Tooele and shows . good raises In lead and silver. More than 100 miners ara engaged in pro duolng this ore and In development ' ' work.. ' ; - This company has approximately 4000 acres of land adjoining the a mine with a $12,000,000 dividend record. Experts who examin-ed the properties of the newer com-pany state that it bids fair to rival any underground mine in the district. Ths Utah Metal & Tunnel Co.'s pro-perty is located at the head of Carr Fork Canyon and extends to the sum mlt of ths Oqulrrh mountain. Ore of good grade' haa been found In aU ex-plored territory and the lower work-ings have shown esepecially gratify-ing results both (or quality and quan-tity of ths ore encountered. ' 8periBtendent Richard J. Bryant, Wider whose direction . he develop-ment work is being; done is an experi-enced mining engineer who is famil-iar with the district, and while he Is somewhat reticent in speaking of his companies progress', gave assurance that he had every confidence in ' the future of Utah Metal A Tunnel Co.

Mexican Shoots Mexican The peace and tranquility which has obtained during the holidays throughout the camp was broken New Year's day when Mike Leyba entered the Cairo Club' at Copperfleld and challenged Tony Gonzales with threat and gesture, according to oth-ers present at the club. Tony proved to be the quickest on the draw and shot Leyba befqre,ie. coujd bring his pin inlrf acMon. '"'''. i-- .. These men have had bad feelings toward each other for a long time, it seems, naving known each other for many years when they lived in New Mexico. Gonzales fired two shots, one pene-trating the right side of Leyba's ab domen and the other taking effect in his arm. Leyba was taken to the Bingham nospital and an operation performed In an effort to save his life. He is in a critical condition as a result of the body wound. Gonzales was placed under arrest by Police Officer Oren Timothy and lodged in the Bingham Jail. Gonzales has a family living at Copperfleld. He will be held pending the outcome of the shooting. Two of the busiest weeks Blnglmni has ever seen nave just passed. The merchants have been busy supplying wanted merchandise to their custom-ers during Christmas time and also preparing stocks for, and taking In ventory preparatory to the commenco-- ment of business the first of the year. Many of the business houses closed their doors New Year's day but most of them were busy inside taking care of inventory and arranging stocks for the opening of business Jan. 2nd. Most of the merchants report a splen-did holiday trade. The people of Bing-ham are realizing more and more the value of the dependable service, good quality of merchandise and convent ence of patronizing the home mer-chants. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Jones entertained their Bridge Club Saturday evening at their home in Copperton. Prizes were won by Mrs. Roy Shilling and Mr. Boyd Barnard. Luncheon was served to Mr. and Mrs. Roy Shilling, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kemp and Mr. and Mrs. George Bolman. LEGION, MAKES GAIN. The recent drive made by Bingham Post of the American Legion vas most successful. The two teams cap-tained by Paul Ransom and Earl Nep-pl- e raced neck and neck all through the drive, Nejjple's team nozlng out by a narrow margin, and the feed wag furnished by the losers on Dec. 28th. The local Legion had 28 members a year ago as against 100 now, a growth of .over 200.. , , The Bingham Post ha? been working hard to win the Wooley. LovtiCun:liioh goos each year to the post the greatest percentage of gain in membership. State Adjutant Wiesley npoke nt the meeting Friday stressing the things of importance which the Legi-on is doing. He also said the Legion was growing rapidly throughout the nation with departments in every state and possession of the United States. Bingham Post meets on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month at Ma itui, uiiu mviie an veterans to isuniuwith them. THE NEW YEAR At the dawn of the new year we are bound to reflect the past and contem-plate the future, and in so doing at this time, the people as a whole have the most valid reasons for being opti-mistic. It has taken Just ten years for the United States to get back to normalcy, after the disarrangement caused by the world war. All the equalization bills and emergenly le-gislation passed by the Congress, the appropriations for pubic works to sup hply" employment to the laboring dlassT the large farm loans and all the nu-merous other efforts made to create a normal condition failed. Time alone could cure the unbalanced and un-equal conditions between the different commercial enterprises of the nation. With the close of 1928,, so far as commerce Is concerned, a normal condition prevails. Sound business principles are taking the place of the loud cry for artificial stimulus to tide this or that particular Industry over With one exception, the farmer, nc class Is seeking special aid from the government. Personally we feel that tlmo has almost, if not fully, cured the Ills of the farmer, but perhaps they have "cried out In the wilder-ness" so long they hate to quit with out winning In their original way. From every quarter, in the markets, in lndusty, in financial and commer-cial institutions there is optimism in no uncertain tone. Higher wages are being paid in many lines of Industry and a better understanding exists be-tween employer and employee most everywhere than hertofore. Stocks and bonds are higher and many of the large institutions have increased divi-dends during the past year, all of which Indicate general prosperity. 1929 looks to be even better than the year just, closed. And what of the outlook for our own prosperity here In Bingham I From every indication, It seems assured. If the prosperity Is general, we are certain to have it reflected In ou own community. Untold millions of wealth Is stored In the mountains around us. Large bodies of copper, lead and silver ore is known to be here and the market demand is good tor each and all of these metals, now with the prospects for still higher prices in the future. So long as this condition erlsts there is nothing for us to worry about as to the advance-ment and growth of this district Ev- - ery mine in this district is working full time and employing a full force of men. Under these conditions we come to the beginning of a new year, of which we have every reason to erpect mush. JOINT MEETING.
