Lund $1.50 PER YEAR Editorials That Are Well Worth Reading New Industry For Utah I ' 111 ' ' . , i, . i New Zinc plant under construction at Tooele, Utah. I Very little. If any, of its metallic I resources are lost to the state of j Utah. Faced with the necessity of treat- - lng lower and lower grade ores, smelters of Utah have advanced metallurgy to a point that only a negligible part of the metallic con-tent of the ores now flow to the tailings pond. Prior to the early twenties, much of the zinc in ores of Utah was lost In the smelting processes and flow-ed through the plant and into the tailings pond. Not only did miners lose the zinc content of their ores, but they were penalized for It. Naturally, this meant much loss to the operators and to the state. Early in the twenties, the smelt-ers met this situation with the development of selective flotation. At that time the mini.ig industry was threatened with virtual extinc-tion, as much of the higher grade ore had been mined and rnly the low grade lead-zin- sulphide ores found on deeper levels of the mine was available. Selective flotation gave the industry a new lease on life, as it meant that the operator was paid for both lead and zinc. : Now comes another development of significance to the state. The International Smelting & Refining company has worked out a process to treat the old slag dump in which the lost zinc of former years was stored, thereby creating indus-try, payrolls and taxes upon a re-source that was formerly worth-less. Coming at this time the new pro- cesses doubly important, as it will help to furnish a much needed metal for national defense. The International, which already pours annually into the channels of industry throughout Utah approxi-mately $20,000,000 in the form of payrolls, supply purchases, con-- ' , struction, railroad freight, taxes, etc., will add substantially to its Utah operations with this plant. The plant for the recovery of the zinc will cost approximately $300,-000.- and is expected to be ready for operation in the fall of 1941. After its completion, the plant will furnish steady employment for about 35 men. 9 PARDOM ABLE , PRIDE. Mrs. Christie Lund Coles, daughter of the editor of this paper, has juifc had her eighth poem accepted by the great international magazine, Goodhousek ;eping, which circulates in all parts of the wbrld it is titled "Child's Death." We may be pardoned for saying that the divine Sappho of Lesbos wrote nothing more exquisitely sweet and tender than some of these poems. Personally we would rather have written them and had them thus published than to come into possession of a heap of gold. Signs ofTimes-Dri- ft of World Events Today's events prove conclusively many of the biblical prophesies, but it is very difficult to convince people that the bible is a literal blue print of the happenings of our time Long centuries ago the eloq ent prophet, Isaiah said that the tongue of the Egyptian Sea would be destroyed and that Eng-land would, for the time being, lose Egypt The tongue of the Egyption or Red Sea is the --niez Canal, which has, before our very eyes, been rendered useless because of the many great ships which have been sunk there. Britain believes today that invasion of Syria will forestall German occupation and that she will be able to retain Egypt. But the pro, hets say 'no' The great war is right now closing in around Palestine, and many have said that the final battle could not possibly be fought there. But listen to the prophet Zechariah, through whom the Almighty spoke as follows: "I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished, and half the city shall go into captivity," Etc. For information as to what the Lord will do at that time and what will be the final result, take down your bible and read the 14th chapter of Zechariah. In Hell Without a Return Ticket The only use wo can think of for a Ku Klux Klan, a Ges-tapo or an OGPU in America is work in connection with some results of the infamous liquor traffic. There should be a fre-quent punishment of the following, who appear to be overlook ed by laws and commissions: Those who sell to minors, who daily and nigntly harbor drunks and habitual drunkards, men who are every ther night guilty of druDken driving, men who drink up their earnings and rob their families of food and clothing and kill opportu' i' y for their children There are the worst of all. While the are in the saloons drinking their 'cheer' and making merry and carelessly throwing their dollars to others, their own wives and children are in want and need, sorrowing and suffering and figuring what the man dollars the saloons get would do for their own homes. Many a wife is being killed by the drunkard's drink in a worse way than Mrs Moremeister, and many a child worse than June Nelson, because the agony lasts O so much longer. Shame to the guilty. Here we have hundreds of churches, hundreds of ministers, many groups of the h igh priesthood, sehools on every other block, and hosts of lecturers and radio speakers, and yet we are permitting even hiring the liquor trafic to send hosts of the young and the middle aged to perdition without a return ticket. Jesus is ashamed of all those who make such feeble effort to save the-soul- s of men from a serpent that walks and is far worse than the one that was cursed in Eden. First Aid In Mining i '( " .55' :,, r:. J i i v '2 ' 'O ' 5 I I ,t.f - iff V- - . j Mining First Aid Team at practice. While much of the danger has been eliminated from mining through proper precautions, ventil-ation, lighting and equipment, mines nevertheless are equipped and ready for almost any emer-gency. The larger mines pay special attention to this phase of mining, realizing that the safety of the men is one of the first requisites to proper, modern underground work. As a result accidents have been comparatively few In recent years. Many companies maintain their own first aid teams, the members of which are given regular instruc-tions and drills. Several times Utah teams have wone national honors for their efficiency. In ad-dition, first aid equipment Is a requisite at all mines, the extent of the equipment depending upon the size of the producer. In addition the United States Bureau of Mines maintains a first aid crew and continuous research is being conducted by this branch of the government at its station adjacent to the University of Utah campus at Salt Lake City. Some Items Interest We would have many more subscribers if the school teach-ers had taught people how to read and to read something worthwhile. If we could read some of our editorials over the air there would be such a de-mand that people would tear the house down to get them. "And life runs on, the road grows strange With faces new and near the end The milestones into headstones change Neath every one a friend." Sunday we again visited our friend M. C. A. Nicholaysen and found him bedfast and weak and suffering. It seems that he has about counted his life's allotted milestones but he feels hopeful and somewhat optimistic. Here's a word of collation brother: Though you are bereft of all earthly possessions and your body is wasted and worn, you sti 1 have ' your immortal soul which is worth as much as the souls of kings and will be equal with them in the grave and eternity Peter Spraynozzle and Joe Bush are names to conjure with in these parts. Peter uses many words and much eloquence, mucn scripture and some pray-er, and is a decided influence for good. Sometimes he talks ' more and better religion than preachers. At times he seems to have personal comradeship with the Master himslf. Joe Bush is of a retiring nature and uses few words. One day his wife, being hungry for con-versation, asked, "What was Peter's wubject last night?" He replied with one word, "Sin." Then the wife asked, "Well, what did he say about sin?" Joe summed it up in 3 words, "He's agin it." He was asked to recite a poem at a bauquet and he gave the shortest one in the language: Adam Had 'em. Here is a good word from an appreciative subscriber in an-other state: "I surely enjoyed the paper this week. Excep-tionally good and something to be proud of and I MEANTHAT Others prophesying, warning and seeing, serve various inter-ests, but you are the only one writing to and for the common man the great masses. Keep it up " We overlooked t' e fact that some time ago N hbor Carl B. Petersen of Ogden, made two full subscription payments vithin a period of two months Murder under the Northern Lights. How a zealous little band of Eskimos became religious fanatics when they heaid about "Wars and Rumors of Wars," and marched out naked into the bitter cold to meet the "End of the World" and how it was the end of the world for most of them. Don't miss this strange tragedy of the frozen North, as told and graphically illustrated in a double page feature as told in The ,Los Angeles Examiner for Sunday. July 27 OURSTAND ON PEACE and WAR We are for peace, but not at the price of national honor or security. We believe with Wilson that the right is more precious than peace. We cannot follow any man or any j croup that bases its peace campaign on hate and vdllfication, and which is as sure to fail of it.i objective as it did in Lincoln's dry. We feel that we know positively that the U. S. is destin-ed to active!y participate in the war. also know that it cannot save itself by going into the war, and much less can it save itself by staying out of the war. And why not? Becanse in either event it is as sure as sunrise that it will wreck Itself by internal dissension. and rebellion, brought on in large part by a malignant and malevolent campaign of hate and disloyal-ty on the part of some leading men who pit their petty j peeves against their Fatherland, and know no more about the decreed destiny of the nation than a child. Yes, we repeat that we know, and suffer because we do know, because people would rather read about John and Jane Rowe going to and re-turning from a visit to the country than they would read the saving and prophetic truth. The blindest of the blind are lead, ing the blind hosts into disaster not war but revolution. Utah - An Alluring Geological Exposure j How the Earth looks to a geologist. The state of Utah presents probably the most alluring geolog-ical exposure in the world. Utah's geology is unique in that there are outcropping strata record-ing every period of the geological history from Archean to the pre-sent. If one drives from the north-ern parts of the state to the south, he may easily observe along the road strata as old as in Box Elder county to as young as Tertiary in Kane county; and then drift again to the south from Kane county to the Colorado river and view the outcrop of strata which covers the period from the young-- est to the oldest from Cedar Breaks, which is tertiary, to the Granite Gorge in Grand Canyon which is Archean. It is in this geology that has been, found some of the outstanding mines of the world. The areas of the Wasatch, the Tintic, the Oqulrrh, Iron Springs and the Tushare's have been specially pro-ductive of metals. In the early days the discoveries were easily made, as many mineral deposits outcropped on the surface. But today the situation is vastly different. The surface deposits are gone and deeper and more hazard-ous prospecting is necessary to bring forth new ore bodies. ' It is a credit to the operators of mines in Utah that many of the properties have enjoyed long life, longer than is common for metal mines. This has been due in a measure to a wise policy of devel-opment. If the industry is to be preserved in the future more and more of the return must be set aside for development work as the ore is becoming harder and harder pto find. Rising costs often result in curtailment of development and this will soon result in a general curtailment of mining, an inexor-able law of mining. Is Private Enterprise All of the American Way?

SERIALLY IN THIS NEWSPAPER 4' True Tales of Sage Brush Democracy One of the most brilliant minds that 3ver sought a career in Utah was that of Judge O. W. Powers. His i t, eloqu ence and success at pleading were unmatched. The fact that peo-ple do not appreciate eloq lence today is, a sign of decadence Judge Wm K. Reid was the most brilliant lawyer in Sanpete andoncehe came in contact with Judge Powers' wit. It was at a Democratic conven- - tion Powers was presiding He called for a report of dele, gates from the county chair-men. One reported that his de'ena s wure there, heads up and iailsup When it came t ) Sanpete, chairman Reid fair- -' ly s agep d h t the aisle (he had been imbioing) and, wav i gthitfunoin left hand, he .air y shouted: "The Sanpete ili ions are here and they're ail1!' Judge Powers smiled to thd au.lii nee and yelled to Sim: "Its in evilencs that they're full!" What days- they wer.'! What ''testimonies" we had as hon est D imocrats!
