ing less than six men each. there were
for the last two years in the state 149.
The total tonnage of the small mines
last year was S5.250 tons. The tonnage
OF the larger mines, railroad and indie
pendent, was as follows: Winter Quar-
tiers, Clear Creek and Castle Gate, con-
trolled by the Rio Grande. and situated
on the lines of that road in Carbon
county, 1,054, S15 tons. Sunnyside, also
in the hands of the Rio Grande, put
out 627, SIG tons. The Grass Creek mine
of the Grass Creek Coal company on
the Oregon Short Line, 2S,564 tons. The
Weber Coal company's WaSatch, on
branch of the Oregon Short Line, 81, 592
tons. The Thomas Sterling company's
Thomas mine, on the Sanpete Valley
line, an independent mine on an indie
pendent road, SIPS tons. Another small
Independent mine, the Aberdeen, while
it only took out $50 tons last year. is
now working on seam of coal eight
cen feet thick, which sounds promising.
The smalle. mines, whose tonnage has
been given as $3.50, are scattered
through every coal-bearing county in
the state, and supply all their local
trade. while many of them are expert
menting in the manufacture of coke. A
Carbon county mine, whose tonnage is
not known this year, but whose name
recalls some interesting testimony be-
fore the interstate commerce inquiry,
is the Sharp Coal & Coke property on
the line of the Rio Gran6e near Helper.
The mine is said to have big future
before it. Another mine to be heard
from in the future is the Independent,
also located on the Rio Grande near
Helper. 1t at present consists of one
drift only, and is working twenty men
Carbon the Center
OF the big mines the greater num-
Der are in Carbon county, whose name
is not deceptive. The Pleasant Valley
and Utah Fuel companies, Rio Grande
corporations. are in control of the Win
ter Quarters, Clear Creek, Castle Gate
and of the Sunnyside respectively.
The county's share in the tonnage of
the state last year was 1,6S3,96S tons.
Summit county is next In order with
it's Grass Creek mine heading the list,
followed by the Wasatch, which, with
three other small mines, make the
county's production 63156 tons. San
pete county is a poor third, producing
591e tons in 1906 from the Thomas and
five other mines. Coal is also being
worked in Emery, Uintah and Iron
counties and it is outside conditions
alone that keep them back in compari-
son with the bigger mines of the state.
In Emery county there are forty-five
mines, half of them taking out coal for
local trade and many of them engaged
in coke manufacture. In Uintah there
are thirty-one mines, a third Of them
| taking out coal. and in Iron there are
fifteen mines, one-third of which are
productive. Grand county is also be-

BIG PLANS FOR BINGHAM
CON. UNDER F. A. HEINZE

Bingham Consolidated, while 1t has
been for a long time one Of the big OPP
orators in the camp, has recently got
into the public eye and the glare of the
calcium of the mining world because Of
the advent of the wizard of the north,
who came down from Butte to seek
fresh fields for his expanding fortune.
The coming of f. Augustus Heinze
into the field at Bingham created a rus
tie, at least, among the interests repre-
scented in the camp, and his taking of
the Bingham Consolidated and subse-
Quent acquiring of properties near the
mines Of the company has been one of

the big feature events Of the doings in
the mining world this year.
That Mr.. Heinze, through his wonder
full energy and trained knowledge. will
be a factor in the direction of things in
the camp is undoubted. He has come to
stay at Bingham, and his presence In
the camp will work to It's ultimate good.
There is no more daring mining oper-
ator In the country, and his recent deal
with the Amalgamated in the Butte
properties has placed him in position
to carry out enterprises which were but
dreams to him few years ago.
Although Mr.. Heinze has been inter-
ested in the company but compare
lively short time, he has already made
changes in the operation of the COM
pany's properties which his keen eye
and trained mind discovered would be
Of ultimate profit to the company.
The company has now a considerable
the extensive changes which have been
made at the suggestion of Mr.. Heinze
and his engineers and managers of the
company. There will be more improve
ments on the plant Of the company and,
besides taking care of it's own ores, it
will be in a position to handle consid-
cradle of the output of the other prop
critics in the district which now have
to ship their product 10 distant points
or wait for slow returns on account Of
the crowded condition of the smelters

To sum up. it may be said that Utah
has the coal and the conditions of life
which make the state tempting to the
miner The wages he gets are better
than in the east, and so here he will
come. Soon we will have also all the
cars we need. All that the present
mines and all the men they are likely
to get for some time will be able to
do. however, is to care for the demand
as il now is and not the increased de-
mand that smelling will make on the
state The increased demand will be
supplied by new coal companies, and
whether the government will hereafter
sell or merely lease coal lands, there
will be plenty of Utah capital ready to
start digging. Meanwhile we are stand
ing that famine with its raw food and
pneumonia very well, thank you.

cents. OF course-like the jam in Alice
in Wonderland"-the day for that stock
is tomorrow. The trouble is that to-
morrow is always one day off, no mat
ter how hard you chase it. But the hy-
drocarbon mines of Utah are not all
tomorrow prospects. For instance, the
tonnage of gilsonite in the state during
the year was 1,531. One mine located
at the terminus of the Uintah railroad
produced $500 short tons, which on the
eastern market sold for $343, Jos. An
otter mine produced s19,323 worth of
tie material, another from January to
April alone produced $47, $50 worth. but
shut down following an accident in
which four men lost their lives. In
Utah county one mine produces thirty
tons of asphaltum rock day. This
besides prospects innumerable.

ground has not yet been reached.
There has been nothing doing at the
Montana Consolidated, which is pre-

On the Dry Canyon side the Eureka
Ophir has done some work during the
year and shipped considerable ore that
ran well in copper, silver and gold.

Nothing much out of The ordinary has
happened in the Ophir district. The
Cliff Mining company, successor TO the
Buckhorn company, has been success
fully financed by Duluth and Milwau-
kee talent and the mines have been ca
pably handled by expert engineers.
Production has been steady and the
mines have been pretty thoroughly de-
veloped through a series of tunnels for

lodges. A tramway to carry the ores
from the lower tunnel down into the
main Ophir canyon has been ordered,
and compressor has also been placed
on the property.

been opened extensively at the Mas

Aside from treating ore from its own

became interested in the management
of the company's affairs, the smelter
has been undergoing some very radical

of the plant is being increased and the
management has announced that after
spending something like $4,000 in ex-

AGAINST GOVERNMENT OWNER
SHIP.

The following New York Times dis
patch from Omaha, Nebraska,
would indicate that Mr.. Bryan's pub
lie ownership plans are not very
popular in his own state:
Government ownership of rail
road ideas have found little fayors
in the west, where they are supposed
to meet with an enthusiastic receipt
ion. And the reason of the small
support that idea has received in this
portion of the country can be traced
to the almost complete failure Of the
attempts of the people of the middle
west to take over the public utility
corporations of the cities and towns
and the poor showings which have
been made by the public owner cor
porations of the western cities, as
well as the disastrous failure made
when western states have invested in
railroad building in past years.
"The middle west remembers the
great graft schemes of the govern
ment-aided Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific. and other early western rail
roads. and the people out in tha
section know how government none,
was squandered by millions in th'
building of these roads.
ct is also remembered here tina
the state of Missouri once went int
the railroad building and owning bus
mess, and after investing about $40
100000 in constructing railroads from
st. Louis toward Omaha and the ives
went out Of the railroad business
with loss of about $25,OO0.OOo. Tn
fact that Missouri was once heavil.
interested in railroads is not gener
ally known throughout the country
but the west remembers it, and want
no more of tn experiment"
