No. 5 REPORT ON UTAH MINING OUTPUT GIVEN Bureau of Mines Review Shows Tear to be One of Outstanding Events The mines of Utah in 1929 pro-duced gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc valued at about $96,485-000- , an increase of about $17,226,-(XX- ) over the output of 1928 .according tt) estimates of C. N. Gerry, of the United States Bur-eau of Mines Department of Com-merce. A large increase was re-ported iu copper and gold on ac-count of vigorous mining and im-provements at Bingham, especial-ly during the first half of the year. Good increases were also reported in the production of sil-ver and zinc but the output of lead was slightly less than that of 1928. Park City region. The Silvei King Coalition Mining Co. was tht largest producer of silver in Utah in 1929. It was followed closely ly the Tintic Standard Mining Co. and the Park Utah Consolidat-ed Mines Co. Next in order came 'he Utah Copper, Bingham Pros-pect, New Quincy, United States, Bingham Mines Co. including Vic-toria, Nor h Lily, Plutus, and Chief Consolidated properties. Other large producers were the Mammoth, Utah-Ape- x, Utah-Delawar- e, Ontario, and Bullion Coali-tion, Combined Metals Reduction ham Prospect and New Quincy Co., properties. Greatly increased The smelting plants at Murray Midvale, Garfield and Internati-onal were regularly operated, and the output of several com-paratively new mines, such as the North Lily and New Quincy pro-perties was greatly increased. The production of copper in 1929 was Ihe largebt that has ever been doubt that the state has estab-lished itself as the second cop-per producer of th Trnit production was made by the Bmg-mine- s and good increases were reported by tme Victoria, Silver King Coalition, Mammoth, and Utah Copper properties. Produc-tion of silver by the Park Utah Consolidated and Ontario mines was much less than that of 1928, and decreases were also reported by the Tintic Standard, Plutus, North Lily, Utah-Delawar- e, and Utah-Ape- x mines. Copper increased from 293,23,-03- 9 pounds in 1928 to about 0 pounds in 1920, the larg-est production ever recorded from the state. The value increased from $42,225,846 to about $57,-314,0- as a result of the in-- States. Utah remained first, in the United States in the production of silver, seeond in copper after Arizonia, and third in lead after Missouri and Idaho. The cusitom flotation mills at International Midvale, and Bauer and at the Silver King Coalition mill at Park City. A large new precipition plant designed to save copper from mine and surface water was completed at the moutfh of Bing-ham canyon by the Utah Copper Co. A flotation plant for oxidiz-ed silver-lea- d ores was construct-ed at International and placed in operation late in the year by the International Smelting company. A. 100-to- n flotation plant for the creased price oi copper and inten-sive work at Bingham. Utah ranked second in Copper produc-tion in 1929 after Arizona and was followed by Montana. The Utah Copper Co. at Bingham respond-ed to the increased price of cop-per and produced 27,603,282 net pounds of copper a month during the first half of the year, but de-creased the rate of production to about 2l.98,000 net prouuds of copper a month the second half of of the district was 160,410 ounces cf gold, 4,640,0CO ounces of silver, 2PO,000,000 pounds of copper, pounds of lead, and 43,-- 0,000 pounds of zinc. The pro Miction in 1928 was 140,813.93 oxidized copper ore of the Big Indian mine in San Juan county and its initial run in November. Mine Pay Dividends The dividends reported paid by mining companies in Utah in 1929 in largest aggregate payments ev-er reported in the state, amount-ed to about $38,045,070, exclusive of $3,313,409 paid by the United States Smelting, Refining & Min-ing Co., which controls mines at the year. Utah Copper Builds Installation of Symons cone crushers, Dorr bowl classifiers, and additional ball mills at the Arthur and Magna mills brought the combined capacity up to a maximum of about 60,000 tons of. ore a day, but the recovery of copper in concentrate decreased to about 80 per cent of the period f maximum production. Elec- - ounces of gold, 3,728,942 ounces ,rf silver, 287,684,950 pounds of ynpper, 104,750,662 pounds of iad and 44,492,643 pounds of zinc ' r The mines of the Tintic district produced about' 420,000 tons of ore and old tailings, as compared with 379,349 tons in 1928. The estimated production of the dis-trict was 42,000 ounces of gold, 15.130,000 ounces of s'ilver, 2,800,-C0- 0 pounds of copper, 85,600,000 (omuls of lead, and 750,000 pounds of zinc. The production i:i 1928 was 34,406.80 ounces of tfoid, 6,232.02 ounces of silver, 2,- -t 6,866 pounds of copper, 88,192,-,j9- 1 pounds of lead and 41,563 pounds of zinc. The mines that prqduced more than 10,000 tons of ore in 1929 were the Tintic Stand-ard, Chief Consolidated, Plutus, Victoria, Mammoth, North. Lily, iv.u'dka Standard!, Centennial, Kureka, Bullion Beck, Eureka, i.ily and Mammoth tailings dump. The Tintic Standard Standard Mining Co. was second in the pro-duction of silver and lead in Utah in 1929. Eureka and Bingham, as well as mines in other states. The com-panies that contributed to this total were Utah Copper, Tintic Standard, Silver King Coalition Park Utah Consolidated, North Lily, New Quincy, Utah-Ape- Bingham Mines, and Yankee Mines. The total compares with 18,307,894 paid in 1928, and $15,778,551 paid in 1918, and it far exceeded that paid by Ari-zonia metal mines in 1929. The gold production increased considerably from $4,394,001 in 1928 to about $4,803,000 in 1929 As in recent years, virtually all the gold was recovered from ores and concentrates smelted. In gen-eral the mines of the Bingham district! especially the Utah Cop-per property, showed a marked increase in the output of gold, and gold from the Tintic district was also deci'dedly greater, but the Park City region showed a trification of the mine in the year and a new record of more " than 141,000 tons of ore and waste in one day was made on May 16. The new precipition plant has a capa-city of more than 5,000,000 gal-lons of copper-bearin- g water a day an dmakes a recovery of about 97 pe rcent of fhe copper. Most of the increase in copper production came from the Bing-ham district but slight increases were also reported from the Tin-tic and Park City, districts. Fol-lowing the Utah Copper company the leading copper producers were the Utah-Delawar- e, ' Utah-Ape- x, Ohio Copper, United States, and Silver King Coalition companies. Lead Output The lead output decreased from 291,930,021 pounds in 1928 to about 286,817,000 pounds in 1929, but the value increased from o about $8,213,000 on ac- - pronounced decrease. The United States Smelting, Refining & Ex-ploration Co. surrendered its op-tion to purchase the Deer Trail mine near Marysvale early in 1929 and the mine produced only a few shipments during the year. The largest producers of gold were the Utah Copper, Park Utah Consolidated, United States, Utah Delaware, Eureka Standard, North Ldly, Utah-Ape- Eureka Lily, and Tintic Standard proper-ties. Noteworthy increases in gold were made by the Utah Cop-per, Eureka Standard, United States, Utah-Delawa- re and Blue-ston- e properties. Ore shipped from the Eureka Standard mine, a new producer in the eastern part of the Tintie district, was chiefly valuable for its gold con-tent. Silver King-- Leads The silver output increased from 17,072,852 ounces in 1928 to about 17,749,000 ounces in 1929, and the production was about! ounces more than that of Montana, which was second in sil-ver production in the United Slates. The value of the silver output decreased from $9,987,618 fo about $9,478,000, due to the lower average price obt'ained. For nine years Utah has been the lead-ing silver producer of the United States, Silver production from the Bingham and Tintic districts in-creased slightly in 1929, but there was a slight decrease from thi count of the higher average price of lead. Three large custom flotation plants were operated continuous-ly, as well as the Chief Consolidat-ed mill at Eureka, the Utah-Ape- x plant at Bingham, and Uhe improv-ed mill of the Silver King Coal-tio- n mine at Park City, The capa-city of the custom flotation mill of the Combined Metals Reduc-tion company at Bauer was in-creased to about 900 tons, of ore a day by the addition of a Sy-rno-cone crusher. Harding ball mill, Akins classifier and Fahren-wal- d and Fagergren floatation machines. The New Quincy Mining com-pany reported the largest increase in lead production and it was fol-lowed by he Bingham Prospect, Silver King Coalition, Bluestonc, North Lily, Bingham Mines, Utah Copper, Chief Consolidated and Horn Silver mines. In June the United States Smelting, Refining & Mining com-pany, purchased and operated all the property at Bingham, Lark and Eureka formerly controlled by the Bingham Mines cdmpany. Bingham In 1929 the mines of Utah pro-duced about 19,857,000 tons of ore and old tailings, an increase from 18.427,117 tons in 1928. Of this total the Bingham district pro-duced about 18,600,000 tons as compared with 17,251,700 tons ii. 1928. The estimated production -- Arthur Brisbane Still Growing .

' : ' f HERE ARE HINTS ON HOME DRY CLEANING CHICAGO, Jan. 29 One im-portant reason why 5,400 persons die in American homes every year from burns and scalds is the careless housewife's practice of dry cleaning her clothes in the kitchen, sas the National Safe-ty Council. Here are some things for t!ie housewife to remember. Naphtha and gasoline should never be kept in the house. The pilot light on the gas stove may ignite vaporized explosive. Friction caused bv ruhbinar cloth against cloth in naptna" will generate enough static electricity to start deadly flames. Carbon tetrachloride cleans as well and does not explode. CONTROLLING YOUR LUCK Ninety per cent of accidents are f mental origin, according to Dr. Harold 8. Ilulbert of he Univer-sity of Illinois. That represents the other extreme from the old theory that accidents were "visi-tations of the Lord." Lewis A. DeBlois, prominent of-ficial of the National Safety Coun-cil says it is possible to control your luck. And he gives his re-cipe to prove it. Appreefate the ncmotisncss of Accidents," he says, "and out of this will come a desire to prevent! such accidents and a sense of personal responsibility for their prevention." He advises forgett-ing all about luck, fate or Prov-idence as a possible dispenser of these unexpected mishaps. Acci-dents are man-mad- and it is up to the individual to foresee the immediate dangers of life and guard against them. I Everyone is subject to accidents this authority claims, and the fact that you have never had an acci-dent does not mean that you do not need to be careful. You nev-- I rr become immune. . I Do not ask the question "whej was responsible" when you ar!i brought close to an acident. Try to discover all the causes, and there usually will be many. i to the bottom of these causes never be stopped bj such gen-eralities as "carelessness," or "human failure." Such generali-ties are only alibis. ; Putting into practice this re-cipe for the control of your luck will require efort and work, but out of the effort eventually will come safe habits of living. j ' f Mrs. Willis Perkins of Woods-Cros-s is the guest of her daughter Mrs. Horace Iliggs.

WHAT IS "REASONABLE" GAS TAX? . T"V"H'on of j new Jtax is al- - ' 'Vys dwjrerona thing, however ,,1 :n';essv it may be at times. On-- ... v a sho'-- t 10 y.-n-rs epo the state . cf Orecro- - -d off p ith a tax of n ?f.'Vt r frnllon on gasoline. Today "rv strte in th" Union and the : District rf Columbia has such a.: '!r and ip SO states the rate is ' four cents or higher. It was not - i9""i that all state revenues f, (Vf.m th;s sonree exceeded $100,- - f m000, but in 1927 they were - nhont ?2r)0.000,000, last year thev - t3f5.000.000 end oil authori-- , , ,; the total for 1929 at $4'0.Cr.O,0m). The average pas,,', fax per motor vehicle has cousid- - . rmhW more than doubled since : 102.1. v - . . ' Taxation f 'gasoline wag orig-- inc'ly justified and hng sinee been ; easily estended and increased be-- , , ; cause of the sound argument that .' ' users of the public .highways , should pay fo rthem in proportion i Jtnr.se. These tax proceeds, how-- . ever, ere not everywhere confined ' ! construction and maintenance ' of reads and it is doubtful whe-ther such a principle can be 'main- - ' . tainod against the temptation poli- - lieal officers are always under, to raise the revenue in the easiest , possible way.' But it affords some I . measure of reasonableness to con- - ; " sider that under tho minimum rnte ( f two cents gasoline is now ; subject to a sales tax of something like 10 per cent of retail value , and that in many states the tax , is 20 to 30 per cent of value. Declining prices for gasoline no doubt explain the public acquiesc-ence so far in so startling rapid en increase in the taxation laid , 'ipon its use. A reversal of mar- - .". ket conditions or even, a period , of stability, especially if coupled . with a tighter grasp of the tax ' collector, would tell another , story. - FACTS The western states should do verything in their power to en-courage mining development. At the present time the western 'Mnpire is on the verge of a new ctnd unprecedented era. , It ha potentialities beyond any other part of the nation. Smell in popu-ation- , by a comparative standard, t is rich in resources. Metals are among the greatest of these resources. The farmer selling his crop, the ?rocer selling merchandise, the acher in the schools, the em-ployee of an industry all benefit roiu the mining industry. When mining prospers, every nlher business in a mining state prospers with it. . ,. When mining languishes, every other business feels the adverse effect. "Treat mining fairly" should be a western motto.'
