bad prepared them for another strenuous day of entertainment full of information and education after a run of six miles up the valley over a road which gradually became almost a duew dugway ay the caravan headed down a steep road toward a large orchard on the floor of the valley this orchard proved to be the famous bauer apple orchard an orchard of about one hundred sixty acres and said to be the largest in utah this orchard is located near the portal of the great honerine mine one of the oldest inet met mines in utah it is claimed that the mine was discovered by the soldiers of prices army and was first owned connor and his associates for years the mine was worked through shafts shaft and much valuable mineral extracted but finally water which could not be controlled at that time caused suspension of operations after many years owners of many adjoining claims got together and ran the tunnel through which the mine is now drained and worked in draining the mine a great water was encountered and to save this water to the company a water filing was made and a considerable body of land was purchased and water was assigned to the land for irrigation in this way and in this way only could the water become the property of the mining company to hold it it was necessary to make beneficial use of it and to do this the orchard was established the party was shown ove over the

tunnels and slopes echoed with the songs of the happy carefree care free party and it must be recorded that there were many good voices in that party and amlung the songs sung were those which have be been e n fa favorites V a with the people for generations at last the party arrived at the farthermost end of the workings in virgin ground 1200 feet below the surface and at the collar of a shaft which reached feet further into the earth back in a stood a hoisting engine and an air compressor and the hoist wa was g b bringing ri nging up great buckets of rich lead e ad and silver ore from the

arrived safe and sound at their widely scattered homes we learned something the tooele thoele meeting opened another chapter of the greatness of utah smelting smelling sm elting and mining industry to most of the editors tl they ey know as never before the hazards of the industry both physically and financially they feel that the mines are paying sufficient tax they feel fee I 1 that the united states should pay a fair price for the metal in its cent silver dollar instead of making a profit out of the th e miner and the mill owner yes the editors learned much during this visit to tooele thoele much of which you will read about in this supplement and much that you will not read about much can be learned that cannot be conveyed in words cannot be described bed it is that something which makes all men kin |
