Beautify the City,.

ess VIC ~lIys
The plan Of identifying the city
should find ready response in
the heart Of every public spirited
citizen.
1t is not SO much for what the
city appears to those who live in il
that this is necessary as it is fo1
the great army who come and 60
and whose impressions of the city
are the result of what appears tc
them.
1t is true that to the public a
clean, we'll kept city holds the
same relation that clean, well
kept home does to the Individual
But familiarity breeds contempt
and oft seeing causes many objec.
jectionable things seem permis.
sible.
This is the line along which the
city needs public-spirited re-
formation.
Last year those who were so Wig
orously pushing the movement of
street cleaning gave their attention
principally to the alleys.
This is certainly a good field.
for the alleys Of city, when
not properly cleaned, are rank
breeding places Of pestilence.
But the work of cleaning these
is part of the duty Of the munich
pality, and it not only has full
power to do this as a sanitary
work, but it is its duty to do so in
the interest Of the public health.
There are things in connection
with the identifying of the city
however, that the municipal au-
thorities can not reach and which
can only be done through the pub
lie spirit of the citizens.
The stranger who walks the
streets now will be frequently
greeted with outline of broken
wagon or machine of some sort
standing on vacant lot, like a
skeletons, proclaiming the death
of public pride. Vacant lots are
the dumping grounds for rubbish,
lumber, store boxes and thous-
and other things that mar the
beauty of the city like a scarecrow
in front of ''Raphael's Madonna. -
These eyesores are on private
property and so long as they do
not become menace to health or
property they can not be abated
by the authorities.
This is where public pride be-
comes SO effective, and where, the
people of the city by setting ex-
amples may become factors in, city

Let the vacant lots be cleared of
rubbish and dilapidated carriages
and machinery, removed from sight

is sent to it by the mines
Although there would probably be
room for a custom business at the
sTnelter, the company is content to take
care of its own ore, and does not make
any bid for the treating of the other
outputs of the district.
The smeiter has two blasts and like

Tcasters.
Besides the work of getting out the
ore from the different levels, which has
been pushed with energetic spirit dur
ing the year, the management Of the
company has done much in develop
naent work. The shaft, which is now
sunk to the 1.200-foot level. will prob
ably be sunk deeper during the coming
year.
Pushing Work.
The company is always pushing
ahead the work IN the mines in order
to keep up with the demands made up
on it by the smelters, which otter gets
ahead of the output.
The officers of the company are all in
New York and other parts of the east,
and the management Of the company is
left to the men who are on the ground
here and at Bingham.
The Tintic company goes 81 like the
brook without babbllEg like that cool
little stream. but getting there just the
same and making few splashes IN the
mining world.
1t is regarded by conservative min
ing men as one of the propositions
which takes sare of itself at ali times
and is an CID reliable which can be de-
pended upon for several years to come
to give up all that there is to make the
investment worth while.

TINTIC IRON COMPANY
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

The Tintic Iron Mining company,
which owns the Dragon iron mine at
Tintic. is one of the good properties
which has mad a share in the unusually
successful year which the camp has
experienced during the past twelve
months.
The mine is located on the other side
of the hill near the big Mammoth mine,
and the prospects of big returns are
brighter BOW than they have been in
some time. The company has beer
busy getting out the ore. and there are
more than 100000 tons recorded to the
credit of the mine during the year.
eoo-Foot Shaft.
The shaft on the property is down 900
feet and the company intends to sink
two stations lower during the coming
year. and possibly further. 1t is ex-

The mine has beef worked for more

1t does beat the old way. Il heats
the old way as easily as the modern
locomotive beats the stage coach of pio-
ueering days, as easily as the telephone
beats the pony express rider. Here is
displayed the faith that literally picks
up mountains and moves them away.
But ii is only one manifestation of the
genius of a single man, Samuel New
house, genius that knows, not only
what should be done and how to do it,
but how to get around him men who
measure fully up TO the mammoth tasks
he sets them.
The story OF the Boston Consolidated
Mining company is story that is not
all roseate. Time was when it Seemed
as though, after many thousands of
dollars had been expended, the, outlay
and the attendant labor would come 90
naught. Superintendents and Tnanage
were discouraged. =, Work as they would
they could not find ore bodies in vol
ume sufficient TO warrant a continuance
of the work.
The one man who was undiscourag ed
was the man who had most at. stake.
That man was Samuel Newhouse. Mr.
Newhouse knew the ore was there in
paying quantities, he knew he had one
of the greatest copper mines in the
world. So he persevered. The first
three years were years of discourage
znents, but the courage of Mr. New
house never tagged. In the beginning
of the fourth year-the Boston Con-
solidated' properties have been operated
by Mr.. Newhouse for six and half
years-sulphide ores in quantity were
discovered.
