AT THE BONNEVILLE.
Work to Contiue Aetiqely and More
ShirmentS Of Ore to Continue.

At meeting of the directors of
the Bonneville Copper Mining COM
pany, held Monday night, 1t was
decided to put on two ,ight-hour
shifts at the mine and push work on
the shaft as rapidly as possible.
Rails were ordered so that the track
on the dump can be extended, and
several other matters of Importance
relative to the development Of the
property were acted upon. Another
shipment of ore will be made with
in couple of weeks. Application
has been made to the railroad COM
pany for freight rate on regular
shipments and Manager Eastman
says that he has the assurance from
the traffic department of The Short
Line that a rate will be granted
which will enable the Bonneville
company to ship low grade ore at
profit.
Salt Lake and Ogden mining men
are now taking more interest in our
mining properties than ever before,
and the Bonneville people have the
assurance Of being able to readily
secure all the capital necessary to
push the development of their
property.
There is an abundance of capital
ready to invest in Legitimate mining
enterprises, but Montpelier has been
handicapped in securing this capital
from the fact that the properties
are not located in some known and
well defined mineral belt. But with
the showing that was made from the
car of ore shipped two weeks ago,
Utah mining men We're quick to SET
that the Bonneville people have 8
property in which 1t is safe to in
vest. As one Ogden man stated te
Mr.. Eastman last week, after learn
ing the returns on the ore, "Why i
your property was located IN any o
Nevada's mining districts, you
stock would quickly jump to slo'
per share"
While our stcopper belt" is locat
. ed away off in one corner of tn
: world, SO to speak, every mining
] man who has visited 1t has expresse,
! the belief that vast copper deposit
n exls, here, and that some day car
: ital would be secured TO bring th
. hidden treasures from the depths O
. the hills. We believe that time ha
arrived and that ere another yea

BONDS ARE SOLD
Montpelier Irrigation District Bonds
Sold at Last.
JUDGE COUGH CLOSES DEAL
Directors Alreaqy Taken Steps To-
ward Constructing Canal and Hope
to Complete It Next Season.

| 10 complete II Next season.
"Your bonds are sold" This
important announcement was made
by Judge Cough to the board of
directors OF the Montpelier lrriga-
ton district at their meeting last
Monday. With the knowledge that
this long delayed deal was consumat-
ed, the directors took up the matter
of constructing the canal, and they
hope to haye it completed in time
for use next season. This, of course,
will depend to a large extent upon
the weather during the winter
months.
As originally planned the canal
was to be large enough to carry the
water of the Marlboro ditch. We
understand that the directors have
now decided to abandon this plan
and lessen the size of the canal SO
that it will carry only sufficient
water for the land within the dis
trict. This contemplated change
will reduce the cost of the system
considerably.
The land within the district Is
very productive and with this in
creased supply Of water the yield
per acre will be largely increased on
land now partially watered and the
land no W without water will be
brought under high state of culti-
vation. All of this will mean much
to the land owners within the dis
trict and will materially increase
the valuation of the farms that come
under the canal. Montpelier being
within the district, it will reap
corresponding benefit from the con
straction of the canal.
Judge Cough, to whose efforts
the successful termination of the
project is largely due, In speaking
of the matter Monday, said
"The financing of this PROPOSE
ton, under all of the circumstances,
was no little undertaking and those
interested may well be thankful
that it has gone through at this
time. When | took this matter up
with tile district three months ago,
found conditions very unfavorable
for the placing of the bonds. Money
matters in the east were close, and
two reliable bond houses refused to
take up the proposition on this ac-
count. Irrigation district bonds
are something new in the eastern
bond market and investors do not
consider them among the best sc.
cnrities under the most favorable
conditions. In order to protect the
rights of the district it was abso-
lute.y necessary that the bonds be
placed without delay, and | finally
induced a member of arellable bond
house in the east to visit Montpelier
and investigate for himself as To
the sufiiciency of the security behind
these bonds. As result of this
visit he agreed with the directors
, that his firm would take a sufficient
amount Of the bonds to complete
the system, provided the proceed
ings taken by the district for the
issuance of the bonds were approved
by their attorney. The records in
: the case are yolumlnous and it re-
. quired much time and attention to
, complete all of the details, in con-
nection with certified transcript
/ thereof, and it was not until very
: recently that it was completed TO
J the satisfaction of the bond people,"

Bv WIT.IlTANI n. EIIIlIs.

In the extraordinary waking up of
religious forces which is now being wit
messed throughout the world, the at
tention that is being paid to the cities
is of first Importance.
The churches appear to realize that
they have only been playing at the city
problem. In its bigness and far-reach-
ing consequences they are only now
beginning to grasp it. There is no
graver question confronting twentieth
century Christianity than this one of
how to effect the rescue of the city
from the forces of evil which have
their strongholds therein.
