MINING MAN PRAISES

JESSE N BUILD
ING SHELTER
Interesting Interview is Given
Concerning Work Accom-
plished by provo Mining
Wizard"-Smelter will Have
Much to do with Mining.

When Uncle Jesse Knight first
began to consider the completing
of the Tintic smelter, there were
many people of the opinion that
he was about TO gather in propo-
sition Of the "gold brick" variety.
A trip to Tintic will demonstrate
to any one that Uncle Jesse OBJ
tanned a gold brick but not Of the
bunko brand.
The completion of the Tintic
smelter by the Knight companies
has brought forth much favorable
comment these days for the manner
in which the ores are being handled
and the success being gained. When
it is considered that hundreds OF
bars of bullion are being Turned out
each day the "lSnockers" are COM
PEELED to sit up and take notice.
The sentiment against Uncle
Jesse has been changed. Instead of
being the victim Of hardy knocks,
no Ia now being considered ms
shrewd and a capable reader 81 the
future. When he first decided TO
take over the smelter proposition
this was not the case. The follow
ing interview was given out in the
morning payers, which shows the
change IN opinion;
III believe the time Is here when
we must take off our hats TO Uncle
Jesse Knight" said a well-known
mining engineer Tuesday on return-
ing from the Tinho district. "Mr,
Knight has been up against some
pretty severe criticism relative to
the knight smelter in Tintic, but
be il understood that he knew what
he was doing, and has brought into
actual being very successful

performances are on par with
those Of any frst-class smelter in
the whole land.
owe also were inclined to criti-
else him when he stopped his ore
shipments several months ago TO
the smelters Of the United States
company. We thought he should
; continue TO ship in order to keep
up the large dividend rate. He
ceased the shipments because he
was certain he could make greater

rock to his own plant, even though

Soaking the lower ends OF posts in

The Fruit Patch.

The government horticulturist says
many persons with small lots may
plant what are known as dwarf fruit
trees. In proportion to size dwarf
trees are more fruitful than stand
ards" They come into bearing sooner
and are therefore OF special value for
use in limited Enclosures or fruit gar
dens. Besides the advantage OF dwarf
ing, grating may be turned to good
account enabling the owner Of trees
to increase his variety OF fruits. Sin.
gle trees have been made to bear as
many as $50 varieties Of apples.

ored TO keep clean. This clean collar.
with a good washing OF the shoulders
noon and nights, has generally sufficed
TO keep them free from soreness. Still,
during the constant use Of the riding
cultivator In our cornhelds the necks
sometimes get sore. caused by the
weight and the moving of the collar
across the skin at each step of the
horse. We are all inclined TO use col
lars too large for the horse. Much
pains should be taken In the first fit
ting OF the collar. and II II is thorough

while still wet II will usually shape IL
self TO the shoulders. Another thing
we try TO avoid a too low draft. The
way double harnesses are usually made
all the weight comes on the horses
necks and there is a constant tend
ency TO lower the draft even until II
comes nearly 10 the point OF the shout
der. This should be overcome as far
as possible The draft should be high
enough 10 insure an even bearing the
entire length Of the shoulder. and nei-
Their should the girth be buckled tight
enough to cause any draft on the top
of the neck. In fact, girth is unnec-
essary and need never be used except
where the traces are attached to the
load above a right angle to the horses
shoulders. Steel collars are In use near

the Doucin stock has great commercial
possibilities. 1t makes trees eighteen to
