At the Congregational church
Sunday morning President Warren,

address particularly appropriate to
the occasion. He ALSO occupied the
pulpit in the evening. The gentle
man is one of the best educators in

At its regular meeting Friday
evening the board of education de-
cided to call a mass meeting of the
citizens of De Smet for Wednesday
evening, March llth, for the purpose
of discussing the situation that now
cOnfronts the city because of lack of
room to accommodate the large num-
Der of pupils. The notice by the board
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
Friends and neighbors of S. l..
Derry, living on the w. HI. Henney
farm southwest, to the number of
twenty-five gathered at that home
Thursday evening, February 9th, for
the purpose of surprising Mr.. D. and
helping him to properly celebrate his
Ard, birthday anniversary. The com
pany brought baskets of lunch and
the evening was greatly enjoyed by
all.
Tim Healy came up from Madi-
son Thursday of last week, returning
Wednesday last. Tim has traded his
residence property at Madison for a
farm near Oldham, and it is his in
tention to leave Madison and move
onto the farm near Bancroft, which
he secured from Fred Floto last sum
mer. He attended Mr.. Floto's auc-
ton sale Monday and secured some
of the necessary stock and machinery
for operating a farm. Tim has lived
in Sioux Falls and Madison since
leaving De Smet but does not like
either city as well as this. The fam
lily will be moved up from Madison
within a few weeks.
The city council admitted to it's
first reading Monday night an ordin-
ance making it unlawful for any min
or under Is years of age to be allow
ed to play or remain in any pool room
unless accompanied by parent or
guardian. As we understand it, the
penalty provided by the ordinance
a be imposed upon the keeper and
also upon the minor who frequents
the place to either play or loaf. An
other ordinance admitted to its first
reading at the same time provides
that the view through the windows of
a pool room must not be obstructed
by paint on the glass, curtains, or any
other manner of obstruction.

STARTING ANOTHER OIL
WELL IN VIRGIN FIELD

A letter from Manager Charles E.
Brinton of the Southern Utah Oil COM
pany's property in the Virgin river
field reached headquarters yesterday
morning. In it he states that d good
quantity of oil was struck in the well
the strike in which was mentioned a
few days ago, and adds that he has
moved his rig and is now preparing to
sink another well about one mile south
and west from the first one, on the di-
viding line between sections q and %
which is about midway between the
well IN section 10 and the original gin
pole we'll on the southwest corner of
section n. The object in driving these
wells is to demonstrate the presence of
oil in the first sands throughout the
cOmpany's two and one-half sections
of land. That accomplished wells will
be sunk to the deeper stratas with a
view of showing what they contain. In
the well where oil was struck last week
enough of the fluid has been baled out
to supply the necessary fuel for driv-
ing the next well.
Word from President H II. Clark,
who is now in Bartelsville, Okla, states
that he has commenced the loading OF
the big rig and equipment that he pro-
poses to install on territory away to
the southwest CT Virgin. This is one
of the best outfits that money can buy
and, as soon as it is started west, Mr..
Clark will follow to see that it is sent
through without delay.

NEW SHELTER
SCHEME MOVING
Proposition Is Being Literally
Backed and Plant Is Sure
to Be Built.

General Manager Thomas Kearns of
the Silver King Coalition Mines COM
pany stated yesterday that splendid
Roadway was being made in the ar
engagements for the construction of big,
independent smelling works in which
he and President David Keith have
taken such an active part since their
recent return from New York.
There is good and sufficient reason
for not discussing the proposition in its
details at the present moment" said
Mr. Kearns. but within short time
we can tell you more about it. l can
say now that the proposition has al
ready received enough home backing TO
make ii a go. We should like to meet
all producers who want to prosper in
this region. We want their ore rather
than their money. There is going to be
no trouble at all in securing all the
means necessary to carry the under
taking through to a successful conclu-
sion. Every producer may become a
shareholder in the smelling company if
he wants to, even though 1t is neces-
sary to cut down or pro-rate subscrip-
TONS"
Mr.. Kearns expects to leave for New
York to assist in closing up the details
of the proposition about the 18th, and
in the meantime he would like to meet
as many interested people in the prop
osition as possible before leaving.

PARK CITY IS HIT HARD.
over 1900 Men Affected by Close
Down.

Park City, Jan. 2.-The close down
has come, and today the town is in a
very blue state of mind, to say the
least. At the Silver King. where there
were over 500 men employed, there are
about fifty at work; at the Daly-West
eighteen remain. and at the Daly-Judge
about 100 are still on the pay roll.
Another piece of hard luck, too, is
the announcement by the American
Flag management that there will be Il
retrenchment of expenses at that prop
erty. The men have been given the
choice of laying off or accepting a 1914
per cent cut in wages. Men now get
ting So will be reduced to the So sc
schedule. and others in proportion The
question has been discussed by several
of the men working at the place, and it
has been about decided to refuse to
work. However, there may be a re-
consideration of this and the mine Kept
on the move.
On the whole Park City is in pretty
bad shape today About 500 men have
been laid off by the mines and i'm va
rious lines of business there has been
retrenchment, so that there is the
minimum of men employed in all the
stores of town. Transfers, and out
side men, too, are out, so that it is noi

that there have been 1000 men let out.

town during the day. but it was stated
at the offices that order Inquestionably
meant the immediate closing of the
works in conformity with the injunc-
tior of the court. While it will be i'm
possible to close down in a day. it is
evident that the cleaning up process
has already commenced. and that a
few days will see the last curl of smoke
that creates such havoc with the sand
dunes around Bingham Junction fade
away into thin air This will necessi-
tate the discharge of at least 1000 men
by the company, and a great many
miners at Eureka and Bingham, unless
the company decides to ship its Cen
tennial-Eureka ores to its mammoth
smelter at Kennett, Cal.
This valley smelling problem is now
at a most acute stage. The Bingham
Consolidated plant is closed for good.
The Utah Consolidated plant will be
dead as a mackerel by tomorrow night
and, from the appearance of things, the
United States works viii be out of
commission by the end of the week
The Murray plant of the American
Smelling &c Refining company Is oper-
ating only three of it's six big blast fur
naces. and ii comes pretty straight that
the Garfield works have run pretty low
on the classes of crude ore that help
materially in working up the cOncen-
trstes which are still being literally
supplied
Most of the mines of the Tintic dis
triCt have already ceased to ship ore.
The orders of the United States com
pany viii necessitate a cessation of
production at the Mammoth, the Colo
RADIO, Beck Tunnel and some others, so
the prospects are that. within a few
days, there will not be enough ore
coming out of Tintic to feed a sausage
mill.
When a change may be expected is
something that. apparently, no one can
predict. What is going to be the ulti-
mate outcome of the closedown of the
United States plant down the valley is
something that is already causing COM
ment. 1t is presumably the intention
to allow the American cOmpany's
works at Murray to run. Good smell
tarmen declare that the American COM
pany has no edge on the United States
company when it comes to devices that
prevent the escape of noxious gases
and deleteriOus substances into the out
er air. 1t is claimed. too. that If there
is not already an understanding of
some sort between the American and
United States companies that will
cause the latter to quit the field with
out protest, that a great storm will be
raised over being forced out of bust
ness where others are allowed to re-
main and flourish.
When Managing Director A. F. Hol-
den was out here a few weeks ago. he
stated that, while il was the intention
Of his company to live right up TO the
letter of the injunction, that no other
smelter in the valley was i'm a position
to do as little damage by operating as
his. but he gave no intimation of what
line of action would be taken in case
protest was made. But something is
going to drop, sure, if the American
plant continues TO operate.

TO MAKE MINE OF
DUGWAY BUCKH0RN

The famous old BuCkhorn mine in the
! DugWay mountains. TOOele county
now embraced in the holdings of the
Iowa BuckhOrn Mining company, will
be the scene of active operations again
within a few days. H. Z. McClain left
! for the property with a crew of men
and supplies yesterday morning. Moth
ing has been done at the property since
last May, when work was being car
ried on under Mr. McClains super
vision After a series of trials at the
ground during period of four years
or so, Mr.. McClain has accomplished
enough at the property to convince him
that he was in line to solve the prob
lem that has so long handicapped that
old property.
1t will be remembered that some ff-
teen years ago S. II. ellison found a
phenomenally rich body of ore on the
surface and for a time it looked as if
it was the making of the greatest mine
in the state. However, after marketing
nearly 800, 900 worth of ere, Mr.. ellison
lost the vein, or rather the source from
which the ore made in the vein, and
ever since then the enigma has re
manned unraveled. unsOlved.
McClain now feels morally certain
that he has discovered the true source
of the ore, and it, Is only a question of
a very short time until he will be able
to ship ore regularly and in large and
increasing quantity. His last work re-
vealed from eighteen to twenty inches
of a vein at a depth of fifty feet and
about 400 feet from the ellison work
ings, I'm what he designates as a cross

taken that assayed SIC ounces silver

cause Mr.. McClain was under contract
with the Clarence Z. Eddy crowd to go
to Nevada, where he spent the sum-
mer, and until a few days ago in the
Death valley country. While he is
largely interested with the Eddy people
and believes they have some good
ground. he seems to think that the
Buckhorn proposition will afford
quicker and in the end greater returns.
That is why he has determined to cut
loose again at the Dugway property

Fairly Strong.

Trading was light on the mining ex-
cnange yesterday but, all things consid-
cred, prices held fairly strong Orders
were pretty well executed in the morning
and the afternoon trading was lpractic-

softening of prices, as compared with the
forenoon call, with Colorado as the chief
sufferer. There is nothing assuring in
the smelter situation and the probabili-

there will be still further declines.
