I look at it again now as I begin to write, and try remember whether I got it in a fight I with another boy. or when fell off the straw-stac- k onto a fence. I do remember that it was a bloody gash, and it felt even worse than it looked. I took it to my mother expecting her to employ some unusual medicine or special method to heal it, but she simply wrapped it in a clean rag and told me it would heal itself. Well, shouldnt something be done to heal it? I wanted to know. she said, all the docNo, tors in the world couldnt heal it, it would have to heal itself. I looked at it in uneasy wonno man could heal it, but der it could heal itself then it was smarter than all the men in the world. My mother seemed to knew what she was talking about, yet inwardly I challenged what she had said, and watched eagerly as the days passed. When first I lifted that bandage of rags, I could see that something wonderful was going on there; a plug had been made in that gash, a tight plug covering every corner of the sore. Well how in the world was it done? My mother told me that no doctor in all the world could make that kind of a plug and fasten it neatly and firmly that way along the edges of a sore. I had never seen anything like it, I watched it every day, and after while discovered that one end of the plug was loose I lifted it up, and there under it was a patch of new, white skin.

The well is located in the northeast corner of Grand County only a short distance west of the border, according to the Moab This discovery has- - set off a wild scramble for leases all over the section around the Cisco area, it is said, and all old leases are being looked up. This entire area is being spotlighted in oil news. D. M. Linnie, who was in Moab on Wednesday stated to this reporter that the Bar X well is producing the nicest gas he has ever seen, extremely clean and with a b.t.u. of 1,200. Mr. Linnie, who was on his way to Farmington for control head and Christmas Tree and all necessary equipment for completion of the job said, We have a seven inch casing set which we will cement prior to completion of drilling, probably taking 8 to 10 days to finish. We expect the well then to make cubic feet. We have an immense field now, we are sure, he continued, and you can count on the big line from this field going through to San Francisco. Mr. Linnie advised us that this is a closed corporation, and they have at no time sold stock, nor intend to in the future. It's all our money,, he said. Mr. Linnie, was drilling Supt. for Col. D. H.

I knew something mighty mysterious had been going on there, and I wanted to know what it was. Something had built that strange plug, or scab, and under that cover Jt had made a patch of skin, and then loosened the scab when it was needed, no more. That neat white patch, right there before my eyes every day, aroused my curiosity more and more. When I began to find out something about it, it became more wonderful still. I learned that within our bodies are numberless armies of very tiny creatures that work and fight all the time to protect us and keep us alive. They are like sold!ers in a fort, and when breach is made in the walls of the fort, they rush there to keep out the enemy and build up the wall again. These little soldiers are known by many different names; red white corpouscles, corpuscles, lucasites, fagusites, etc., little fighters and builders, fighting to keep him out. They weave the most delicate gauze to repair wounds. They build flesh and bone and skin: they build finger-nails and teeth and hair and whatever the body needs. When I at them loqked through a miscroscope, I was s u ch simply flabbergasted tiny creatures! floating or swimming in the blood or crawling through tiny openings in search of some enemy. When they hear that a hole has been torn in the skin, they rush to t and throw themselves in the gap to keep out the enemy till the gap can be built up. These first ones plunge into the gap, die right there to form the necessary covering under which the permanent wall is to be built. The soldiers that follow on after these first ones, join themselves together to build the new wall, but this is a living wall, and when H is completed, they break the ties which held the temporary wall and let it break off. The patch they make is not always like the original wall, it is not made the same way, yet it is a wonderful piece of work, a kind of work that all the doctors in the world are unable to do. I look at this patch-recor- d on am filled my hand and with wonder at the, thought of the numberless army that is watching and fightng all the time to save me from a numberless horde of tiny enemies all around me.

TO NEW LOCATION MOVED Security Title company has moved under lease to the Lee Richey building on Main street from the Della Jensen office adjoining the City Mercantile. It seems burglaries are becoming all too common in Monticello without the culprit being apprehended. Redd's became the last victim sometime Sunday night. Mr. an employee, lives Lieflang, near the place of business and he thinks it must have occured after 1:30 a. m. He states the lights of anv car stopping at the filling station usually awakens him be-fthat hour. The theft was discovered by Edway Redd about 5:30 Monday morning. The robber or robbers had opened th? door of the filling station by breaking the glass and reached through to unfasten -- the lock on the inside. Approximately $125 00 was taken from the cash regsiter, it was reportor ed. Mr. Redd called the sheriffs office immediately but at this writing (Wednesday morning) no arrests have been made. Kennecott Copper Worlds Company J j?gest Copper Mine The operation at Bingham is the only one of its kind in the world. Bingham Canyon is 27 miles southwest of Salt Lake City and is one of the world's marvels. It is North Americas largest open cut mine owned by the Kennecott Copper corporation. The magnitude of the oper- ation is almost beyond comprehension. theatre-lik- e The mine is a quarry covering about 855 acres. Ore is mined by the use of 41 huge electric shovels with dippers of capacity, operating on 45 levels over 138 miles of standard gauge track. Blasting is Spectacular Ore blasting is a tremendous and 3:15 on Sundays. It is very sight. It occurs daily at 3:39 p.m. spectacular and can be witness'd from a safe vantage point by the riding through Bingham, most unusual town in the world, one street wide and 3 miles long. The houses and building hug the sides of the canyon walls. One wag quipped that in Bingham the dogs have to wag their tails up and down. Virtually since its beginning this open cut mine has been the worlds leading copper produc- er, normally providing about 30 per cent of Americas newly-mine- d copper. In normal times the operation employs 4,000 2,000 at the mine and 2,000 at the Magna and Arthur concentrators which combined have the largest capacity in the world. Construction Began in 1904 In 1904 construction was at Copperton near the gun on a mill of 1,000 tons daily mouth of Bingham canyon. During the first two years underground methods of mining were employed, primarily to check the sampling and in 1906 the first steam shovel was put into workmen operation. Contrast this picture with to- days operation. The company now employs a battery of 41 electrically powered shovels, of which each is capable of handling about 6,500 tons in an eight hour shift: operates 131 miles of standard guage railroad at the mine; operates the Magna and Arthur concentrating mill, having a rated capacity of 70,000 tons per day and supplies a large percentage of the tonnage for the Garfield smelter. For every ton of ore produced from the Bingham open cut mine, slightly more than one ton of waste must be excavated and transported to the waste dumps. Therefore, assuming the conservative estimate of one ,ton of waste to one ton of ore, the delivery of 105,000 tons of ore in 24 hours means that. 210,00 tons of material were excavated and moved in the 24 hours. On this basis, 8,750 tons of material were moved every hour. That is more than 145 a minute! An analysis of one days operation shows that 150,000 tons of ore were delivered to the mills from Bingham in 24 hours. In terms of railroad cars delivered this meant approximately 1,150 railroad cars in 24 hours almost a car a minute. A huge bowl has been carved out of the Oquirrh range. The excavation area covers over 830 acres and there are 43 levels averaging 67 feet in height and from 70 to 250 feet in width. To date 570 million tons of waste e million tons of ore mined, been removed and 485 ing 8te billion pounds of copper. Each time a ton of ore is mined, it is necessary to remove a ton of waste or overburden to reach the ore. Daniel C. Jackling In 1896, Daniel C. Jackling, then a young engineer, made a preliminary examination of the Bingham area and in 1898 made his report which was to revolutionize the copper world.. He based his report for success on the underlying principle of mining transporting and milling of large tonnages of ore. When the young engineer set about to finance the company it was looked upon as a poor mining risk. He offered stock all the way from Salt Lake City to Glasgow, Scotland and found notakers. At first the public was wary and larger companies were his revolutionary skeptical of program. Finally Jacklings old friends, Charles MacNeill and (Continued on Page 6) yield-hav- |
