Huge layers of scrap tin and iron which will be turned to Copper by precipitatin'; or catching Copper in water at Bingham Canyon. Tin cans discarded in a stream by the wife of a miner near Butte, Montana, led to scientific research that resulted in the saving of much copper which otherwise might have been lost, according to a legend of the mining industry. The water of the stream near which the miner had his cabin percolated through the hills of Butte, picking up a certain amount of copper. Tin cans thrown into the stream by the miners wife picked up a certain amount of the copper in the water and eventually the or reentire tin can. was -turned placed tar copper. This led to scientific discoveries that brought about copper precipitation, a practice now in Utah in an effort to save every ounce of metal to create industry and employment. Ono of the largest copper precipitating plants in the world is operated by the Utah Copper company at the mouth of Bingham Canyon. Like the mine itself which for so many years was considered worth down Bingham Canyon is now being put to commercial use. For every ton of ore mined it is necessary to mine about a ton of waste and move it to nearby thousand rural mail earThirty-tw- o ners are now acting as agents in the sale of Defense Savings Stamps, postal officials hve informed the Treasury Department. Demand for the stamps in sparsely settled districts caused the Post Oifice Department to authorize the carriers to act as salesmen. The s.axnps range in value from ten cents to five dollars. Purchasers are given albums in which they can be mounted. When filled, the albums may be exchanged for Defense Savings . Bonds. Post Office officials recalled that rural mail carriers acted in similar capacities in 1917 and 1918 selling War Savings Stamps. Notice range-conservati- gulches. The water percolates through the great mass of waste which has been removed from the mine, leaches or picks up a certain amount of copper in solution. By diverting the .water into a plant at the bottom of the . canyon much of the copper is saved. The water is diverted Into hugs tanks which are filled with tin, tin or scrap preferably iron, which attracts the copper in the water and within a comparatively. short time the scrap Is turned to copper.

Public approval of the transfer of the Grazing, Service headquarters to the West has been extremely gratifying, according to Director Rutledge. The new offices at Salt Lake City will be in the heart of the Federal range country and within 500 miles of every regional office in the ten western states. By establishing its headquarters in the center of its field of activity, the Grazing Service will be in a position more adequately to handle the program to which its efforts are 1, 8, 15, 1941. FOB SALE directed. The work of the Grazing Service is peculiarly western work. With a regional office in each of the western states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming, this Service administers about 142 million acres of Federal range for the grazing of livestock through a system of licenses and permits. By issuing licenses and permits only to the extent of the proper carrying capacity of the range and through the carrying out of an extenand developsive ment program, the depleted and arid lands of the West are being restored by the Grazing Service, thus insuring stability and balance to the western livestock industry dependent upon this forage resource belonging bo Uncle Sam. In .the 57 Federal grazing districts administered by the Grazing Service in the West over 12 million head of livestock enough to provide meat and wool and leather for a large portion of our .military needs are today licensed to use these public range lands. Fifteen percent of the cattle and 45 percent of the sheep produced in the United States come from these public range areas of the West. A representative of the Grazing Service, Mr. Archie D. Ryan, will remain in Washington to serve as liaison officer and maintain contacts of the Service with the various agencies and branches of the Government with whom it cooperates. The 29 rooms in the Interior Department building which are being vacated by the Grazing Service will be occupied by the newly organized office of the Petroleum Coordinator for National Defense. range-improveme- nt over-graze- d Severest Heat Waves to the United States weather bureau, the severest heat waves throughout the country occur about 30 days after the summer solstice.
