From The Park Record March 7. 1930 COMPENSATION FOR WIDOW Says Friday's Salt Lake Tribune: "The industrial commission of Utah Thursday Thurs-day awarded to Mrs. Violet Richardson, widow of Frank Richardson, late of Park City, $16 a week for 312 weeks, for her benefit and that of her children, a boy, 3, and a girl, 6. Mr. Richardson, a track helper at the Silver King Coalition mine at Park City, was killed by a fall from a mine cage 60 feet to the bottom of the shaft, Dec. 6, last. A spike puller he was carrying in his hand, the commission finds, caught in the wall of the shaft as the cage was ascending, and pulled the workman through the open door and down the shaft." METALS ARE IN GREATER DEMAND "1 With the exception of agriculture, mining is the world's oldest industry, says the Denver Mining Record. When primitive man found that such metals as copper and iron could be used as cooking vessels and weapons and were immeasurably superior su-perior to anything else known, the human race embarked on the road that led, after hundreds of centuries, cen-turies, to civilization. Practically every commodity commo-dity uses a metal as a basic factor. Electricity and medical medi-cal instruments, automobiles and jewelry, railroads and typewriters, buildings and office appliances, printing presses and farm tools and thousands of luxuries and necessities that are a part of our daily lives, could not be made without metals. FISSURE LEAVING FACE OF TUNNEL AT THE MAYFLOWER A phone call to Superintendent Super-intendent Gay of the Mayflower May-flower today gives the information that the fissure that has been followed in the tunnel for the past 75 feet has now turned to the south, leaving the face of the tunnel. The formation now ' being passed through in this big tunnel is quartz-diorite and good headway is now being made. Timbering has been necessary for the past sixty feet which has made progress in the tunnel much slower, but with the new formation, Mr. Gay is of the opinion that timber will not be necessary and the work carried on much faster. THREE CARS OF ORE SHIPPED FROM c PARK CITY CON. This week three cars of high grade ore were shipped to the smelter from the Park City Consolidated, where the development work is proving most satisfactory to the management. Work is being carried on in various places of the mine, but the ore showings on the 401 winze is where the management is most encouraged. The sinking sink-ing of the shaft continues to cut the Park City beddings at a great depth, and is now 90 feet below the 400 level. Another car of ore is being loaded. prom The firchives Orders Receive Our PROMPTEST ATTENTION and Samples sent on Application Cohn Bios. 102 East Temple Street SALT LAKE CITY Wm. SKEWES.
