FIVE puMps woRK1NG.

There are at present five pumps at
the outlet of the lake, and, as Indicated
in the order. another is being installed.
1t is the work going on in connection
with the latter that prevents the imme-
date opening to full capacity of the
channel The pumps now working are
Implying the lake at the rate of about
$50 10 200 second feet per day while
running over the bar are about $50 ad-
ditional feet, The fun capacity of the
pumps at the present height OF Water
would be 300 second feet, and at COM
promise point 800 feet would be lifted
daily.
The present Utah lake commission is
composed of the following gentlemen:
O. p, Miller and A. F. Doremus of Salt
Lake county, and John b. Miner and
Lorenzo Argyle OF Ut-h county. and j.
G. NJ. Barnes Of Davis county. The fifth
member belonging to the commission

NOTICE ISSUED.
The serious situation has been
brought to the attention of the Utah
lake commission, and Yesterday mem
bers of that body went to the pump
ing plant on tour of inspection, after
which the following notice was sent
To the various persons Interested:
you are hereby notified that the
members OF the Utah lake commits
sion visited the pumping plant yester-
day. and learned from w. A. Knight
that according to an observation taf-
en- by him yesterday morning the
lakes level was found to be liz feet
below compromise point. They con-
sidered the work now in progress of
installing an additional pump, in con-
nection with the probability Of the
lakes rising to compromise point. and
unanimously resolved that the present
outflow of the laks must not be in the
least curtailed, and that the parties
in interest be required to so far com
plete the work now in progress as to
enable the gates in the channel pass
| ing the pumping plant TO be opened to
| their full width, and any other OBJ
structions that may interfere with the

Faints. and Auto Wrecks Wagon.
In big automobile of foreign manu-
facture F. G. Burton of Boston, Ralph
F. Comstock of New York, George Dll-
bingham of Newark, Miss Comstock OF
Springfield, Mass, and Miss Gould OF
Philadelphia, were riding from PFants-
vile to Waterbury. Miss Comstock
was driving the car and Miss Goaia
was sitting beside her. The machine
was moving at about ten miles an hoar
and the passengers were talking gayE-
Suddenly Miss Comstock gave a
piercing shrek, shrank away from the
dashboard and tainted. No one knew
what had happened to her, but there
was a more serious need than hndlng
out. This was the approach OF Frank
Scoville, a farmer driving horse and
wagon, the latter filed with cans OF
milk
Miss Gould grasped the steering
wheel of the automobile and averteo q
direct collision with the milk wagon,
but smashed it with a side blow ana
swung it across the road, the automo-
bile driving into a stone fence so nara
that it was put out of commission.
Miss Comstock remained insenslole,
and her companions, who had been Sc
verely Jared when the automoolie
dashed into the fence, gave all thelr
attention to her. She was put into
another vehicle and taken to the near
est house, a half mile away, where she
remained unconscious or hysterleal IOr
Several hours.
Meanwhile the mystery of her fflght
was still unexplained. ScovllIe hau
suffered severely when the automobile
struck his wagon, reducing it to lum-
Der and scrap iron. His horse was so
frightened that it stood amid the
wreckage, and would not bulge until
lured into milder temper by the offef
of corn. Scoyille received $50 from
the automobilists to make amends for
the damage he had Suffered, and
agreed also to say nothing Of the col
lision
While Miss COmstOcK was peIhS az
tended by Miss Gould and the women
Of the farmhouse the men of the party
took the three state automobile license
numbers of Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut off the machine
and put them in a suit case.
When mechanics who had been sent
to repair the automobile drove it up
to the farmhouse they exhibited an or
binary black snake which they had
found on the floor Of the car 1t had
been stamped to death apparently by
Miss Gould and the others who we're
aiding Miss Comstock.
That the snake had fallen from
tree or had been tossed up by the
wheel on Miss ConstoclS and caused
her to faint was understood at once,
and this she later confirmed. Miss
Gould almost tainted when she learned
that she had been tramping- around on

Fruits and Nuts in Demand.

The remarkable prosperity which
this country enjoys is due in large
measure to the fact that we raise the
products of nearly every cline, and
can thus make the markets Of the
world our own. 1t is an interesting
fact that our expectation Of fruits and
nuts, which twenty years ago amount
ed to only about one-seventh of the
amount of importations of the same
commodities now exceeds those inn
portations by 100 per cent, Expressed
in figures, the expectations for the
fiscal year just ended amount to $685.
100000, while the importations aggre-
gate $17,500,OO0 During the period
from 1887 to 1907 imports of fruits
and nuts have increased only 80 per
cent, while exports of the home prod
ucts have increased by $40 percent,

The secretary of an Eastern COM
pany that some time ago was anxious
to purchase a silver-lead mine in the
Northwest tells Of an amusing Incl
dent in the negotiations for it's pur-
chase.
AS the ore assayed well and every
thing looked propitious a mining ex-
pert was sent to examine the mine.
His report was favorable-too favor
able in fact-and aroused the sus-
picions of the would-be purchasers;
so it was determined to investigate
more closely.
AT this point a well-known mining
man Of Butte recommended that GER
tain rough-and-ready- genius should be
sent to look at the mine ''You can
depend upon his Judgment" the min
ing man said "You can trust to
his report, which, in all probability,
will be brief and very much to the
point"
The advice was followed. AS pre-
dicted the report was short and
pithy. It read substantially as fol-

NEW SHELTER Is
 PLANNED FUR | SO. CAlIF.
Site Secured Near San Pedro
 and VIII Have Capacity of l 300 Tons DaiIy-WilI Be
 Doubled Next Year.

0oldfield mining men who win build . smelter near San Pedro. are now making traffic arrangements with the railroads. Concerning available ore supplies. the Mining Review says eu- itorially:
 Negotiations for a smeIter site near San Pedro have been successful. It is now understood that the smelter will be built. and thar construction will begin in the near future. The Gold field mine operators who are inter ested. not only have clenty of ready money to carry the plan through. but they control high-grade silic.aus ores fn quantity sufficient to assure regu- lar supplies for plant of importance,
 For fluxing ores. the management expects to go further afield. drawing on Alaska and ritish Columbia. where ores carrying high percentages of iron and sulphur are found near tidewater also on the west coast of Mexico for concentrates and matte, besides such raw ores as will bear transportation coats.
 The plant win at first be of FOG tons daily capacity. but this is to be doubled next year. There will also, 1t is understood. be copper rsfInesy.
 "The importance of this enterprise to Los Angeles and the whole south vest can hardly be overestimatel. It will also be a boon to northwestern miners, because of the market 1t will afford for low grade ores of that re gion."
 In connection with the smelter sul- phuric acid plant will be installed which win entirely obviate danger to vegetation from sulphur fumes. The acid produced will be used chiefly for manufacturing fertilizcS. Instead of proving a menace t9 agriculture .he proposed plant will prove a beLcfit. The site selected is so situated how. Iaver, that the smoke damage to till tble lands would be impossible. even without this adjunct.
 Negotiations with the railroads are progressing satisfactorily. Low rates lave been quoted from inland points by one of the roads. nrA no difficulty is expected with the other two Such a plant as is proposed would benefit all three roads. directly and indirectly It would not only induce a neavIer movement of freight from Nevada Arizona. Mexico and Southern Call fornia to thfs terminal point. loading many cars that must now be hauled empty from the mining ra5ols. but it would stimulate ore develoDmenI along the. various railroads and in the territory where there is little CSC than ore in deVeloD -s-.IaHea.
