THE ROMANCE OF WHEAT.
Once Raised For Princes Only, Now
the Worlds Food


Wheat is the food of princes and
peasants. 1t is the food of the world
1T was known to be the best food for
fifty centuries, but it did not until
thirty or forty years ago become uni
versal. Every community ate all it
raised. There was none to sell. 1t
the nobilities could afford it. 1t was
sowed by peasants, who reaped it
with a sickle by hand. For 5000
years no better plan was conceived
than the sickle and the scythe. Then
came the reaper, an invention by Cy-
scent Then the world began eating
white bread.
This new machine, the reaper when
it was full grown into the self binder
was equal to forty siclsles. With one
man to drive it, it could cut and bind
enough wheat in one season to feed
400 persons In it's most highly de-
yeioped form. the combined harvester
and thrasber, it has become so gigan-
tic a machine that thirty-two horses
are required to haul it.
This leviathan cuts a fifty foot road
way through the grain, thrashes it
and bags it at the rate of one bag
every half minute. And the total
world production of reapers of every
sort-sef binders, mowers, headers,
corn binders, etc.-is probably as
many as 100000 a year. two-thirds
of them being made in the United
States.
Because Of this harvesting ma
chinely the wheat crop of the world
is now nearly twice what it was in
1879 The American crop has multi
piled six and half times In fifty
years. Western Canada, Australia,
Siberia and Argentina have become
wheat producers.
The cost Of growing one bushel in
America with machinery and high
wages is now about half dollar,
which is less than the cost in Europe
and as low as the cost in India, where
laborers can be hired for a few pen
nies a day. With a sickle the time
cost of a bushel of wheat was three
hours. With self binder it is now
ten minutes.
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain. At the
outset 1t was shipped in bags. Then
some railway genius invented the grain
car. which holds as much as twenty or
twenty-five wagon loads, and today one
of the ordinary moving pictures Of an
American railroad is sixty car train
travelling eastward with enough wheat
In its rolling bins to give bread to a
city Of 10000 people for year.
The Siberian railway, which is the
longest straight line of steel in the
world. was built largely as wheat
conveyor. SO were the railways of
western Canada. Argentina and India
1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
one country to another than from the
barn to- the nearest town. The average
distance that an American farmer has
to haul his grain is nine and half
miles, and the average cost of haulage
is 8 cents for hundred pounds. Thus
1t has actually become true that to
carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than 2.3OO miles by steamship.
Such Is the tense efficiency of our
wheat carrier system that a bushel of
grain can now be picked up in Mis-
souA and cent to the cotton spinners

EAST TINTIc DEVELOPMENT
is NOW A SHIPPER

a carload of high grade lead ore from
the East Tintic Development mine was
shipped the early part of the week and
Manager Ralph Kellogg expects to be
able to send out another carload, and pos
sibly two. before the end Of the present
month says the Eureka Reporter.
The ore which was shipped this week
was taken from the Z30-fOOt level, where
an important strike was made in Janu-
airy of this year After getting ere at this
point the company put Up a shaft house
and several other buildings, installed new
machinery and then started sinking the
shaft. At the present time the shaft is
down 100 feet below the 80 level and as
soon as a stump and station can be cut
out a drift viii be started toward the east
for the purpose of opening up the ore
body at greater depth.
Early this week a bunch of nice ore
was encountered IN the East Tintic De
velopment shaft. The ore was entirely
different from anything which had previ-
ously been found in this mine and when
the news was given out to the public the
cOmpany's stock advanced several points
Assays which have been made during the
past few DAYS show that the silver values
are about the same as contained in the
ore which is now being mined upon the 80
level but when the main ore body Is
opened up at a depth of $50 feet Manager
Kellogg is of the opinion that there viii
be an increase in the silver values.

MINING STOCKS
ARE NEGLECTED
Trading Is Constantly Slowing
Down and Prices Drop
in Harmony.

Every week for the past month or more
has shown a gradual but certain dimin-
ution in the volume of business done on
1.-THE Salt Lake Stock and Mining ex-
change and prices have receded in just
ratio to the lack Of business. How long
this condition may continue is prOblemat-
ical and, unless something altogether out
of the ordinary transpires in the mean
time to give things a start July and
August are both apt to be just as dull
as June is proving to be. There is good
and sufficient reason to believe that the
fall will witness lively doings in local
mining stocks. Deals. development in the
mines and other things having to do with
the general welfare of the mining indus
try are likely to be made public during
the next few weeks and months, and the
effect can hardly be other than stimulat-
ing to the stock market. Professional
operators are taking on stocks now and
quiet buying will go along through the
summer without any effort or desire to
boost the market in the slightest degree.
The public, of course will not take ad-
vantage of such conditions; il never does.
Its stronghold is TO buy when the market
is booming and sell when the prices drop,
and then roar at the brokers who may
have repeatedly tried to persuade them to
get out before the break should come.
During the past week a total of 529.-
942 shares of stock. with a selling value
of s305, 744.1l, changed hands, yesterdays
proportion of the totals being 1850 shares

BIG DEALS IN
CAMP OF TINTIC
Several Properties Believed to
Be Headed for the U. S.
Company.

If just q few Of the talked-of deals in
vOlving properties in the Tintic district
are pulled off in the next few weeks, &C
cording 10 the oracles. the map of the
camp will be materially changed. In the
face of denials and Notwithstanding the
fact that everybody said to be involved
are side-stepping the interviewer. it Is
stoutly maintained in Tintic that the
United states company will. during the
next thirty days, add at least three prop
critics to its Centennial Eureka and other
holdings IN the camp. The properties
mentioned are the Gemini. the Eureka
Hill and the Ridge and Valley while
there IS a suspicion in certain quarters
that the Responsibilities cOmpanys pos
sessions would also be acceptable to the
big corporation if il could be picked up
right
A glance at the map Of Tintie will
show that the properties mentioned, to-
gether with the Eureka and
the Bullion Beck, already controlled by
the United States company, would give
that corporation an unbrOken stretch in
a north and south direction of more than
two miles. with an average width of bet
ter than one mile, so there is nothing re-
markable in the opinion that the COM
Iany would like to round out its posses
sions in the manner stated
Some important meetings are scheduled
to be held by companies mixed up in
these rumored deals during the next few
weeks, and the proba bilities are that be-
lore the end OF next month, everybody
will know just what is doing or being
shaped up at the present time.
These transactions. if they mature will
have a most significant bearing on the
future of the Tintic district and as
they are not the only big deals incubat-
ing. by any means. the residents of the
district will likely become so mixed up
in their bearings by and by that it will
be necessary for them TO have a resur-
vey Of the camp TO learn just where they
are at

MINERAL FLAT
LOOKING GOOD
Ore Is Cut in Both Tunnels, but
Objective Point Is Not
Reached.

With samples Of fine looking lead-sil-
yer and copper ore in his grip Manager
J. c Jensen Of the Mineral Flat com
pany's properties returned from visit
TO the properties of the company in the
American Fork district Friday night.
While he declines 10 stand for the state
ment that an important strike has been
made, as reported by correspondents ear
lier in the week, he does admit that
the mine is looking good and that a
most interesting stage in the develop

nothing more than a streak. while on the
opposite side it Is ten inches or more
thick. No prospecting in this fissure has
been done. as the tunnel is being driven
with a set purpose OF reaching the rny-
olite porphyry dixie beyond and alongside
of which the ore opened up in surface
workings was found The face of this

phyry and thirty-five feet out into the
mineral-mskng lime that TANKS the real
Ore-making ledge. The tunnel Is now
in 800 feet and we are likely to get
into the ore at any time, while We may
have to go some little distance yet, every
thing depending on the dip of the forma-
tion ahead.
Similar conditions prevail in the lower
tunnel workings. This tunnel, which is

feet easterly of the point that the upper

LOW PRICES CUT OUT
ANTHONY PRODUCTION

Owing to adverse market conditions
there was no production Of metallic anti
mony from domestic ores in 1908 During
the last two years the price has dropped
from y TO 8 cents per pound.
In lyO6 the price Of anthony of the best
grade reached q cents pound, and prices
were high during the whole year. Pros
pectOrs and miners who owned or knew
OF oDtainable anthony bearing deposits
became interested in producing the ore,
and operations were begun in Washing
ton, Idaho, Utah. Nevada. California and
oregon. 1t takes a considerable period to
open up most mines and ship the ore. and
by the time some of the mines were in
shape to ship the price Of anthony mad
dropped Although the year 1907 opened
with COOksOn's (Che standard brand of
antimony) at % cents. by August it was
down TO Il cents and in December it was
S.5 cents In 1908 the highest price was
the same as the lowest of 1907 9:5 cents,
and the market dropped still lower to =
cents per pound for COOksOn's.
These low prices do not permit profit
able production in the United States, as
most Of the known anthony deposits are
in parts of the country in which freight
rates and wages are high Hence. accord
ing TO reports received by the United
States geological survey, no anthony
ore was shipped during the year, though
some was mined and held at Burke, Ida.
Many gold and silver ores, however, are
also anthony bearing, and when these
with the lead of the charge to form anti
mOnial lead. and by this indirect means a
considerable amount Of anthony IS pro
duced, though it goes on the market as
antimonial lead. for which there is a large
demand and from which the metallic
anthony Is never separated.
During the years 1907 and 1908 anti
monial lead was produced in the United
States as follows, in tons
