The Inventors Rocky Road
There comes to Washington occasionally
man who perfected an invention, an engine of
war. which is now in use by nearly every civil
lized government on the face of the earth, in
cluding the government of the United States
This man recently talked reminiscently He
said some things in the course of his CONVEX
present and prospective, and which may also
dishearten those of them who have not Wills
physiques and courage of iron.
1t must be remembered of course, that this
inventor is man who finally made good and
who to-day talks from the hilltop of success

make the attempt to get a
bill passed by congress to
reimburse him for the
pocket-picking outrage per-
petrated by Uncle Sam. He
had to do a lot of work be-

To be sure there was only
$32.S5 in money involved, but
the principle was worth
something, and the soldier
who won't fight for a prin-
ciple won't fight well for
anything else.
OF course only a part,
very likely a small part, of
the claims entered against
the government have justice
as a basis. In order to find
out the truth of things the
government occasionally is
obliged to spend many times
the amount of money in

One of the most curious
claim cases ever known to
congress was that of Sonora
Feliciana Mendoza, who
lived at Angeles, Pampanga,
Philippine islands. The Sc
nora rented house to I'm
Gle Sam for the use of some
Of his teamsters. When the
mule-driving contingent
moved out of the house after
a short occupancy the Sc

that some of the siding

asked for 5000 in gold to re-
pay her for the damage to
her property.

Through Parker Mountain
Region in Idaho.

An attempt will be made within
short time by the Lost Packer Mining
company to construct a new wagon road
from the mine aud smclter. and assist.
ance will he expected from the coun.
ties in Idaho which would be bene-
flied by a new road. For the purpose
of securing this assistance the Lost
Packer company within few days will
meet with the various boards Of county
commissioners interested. It is under
stood that there is practically unan-
imous opinion that the Lost Packer
company should not be required to stand
the entire expense of this important en-
tcrprise.
The present road is impossible for
great portion Of each year, the grades
being almost suicidal even in the best
of weather, The new road will follow
Challis creek past tho Parker mountain
country, opening up vast extent OF
extremely rich territory now locked to
facilities. Not only would a new en-
pro be thrown open to the world, but
the road would be an all-season route
into the mountains. 1t would mean
saving of 25 per cent of the present
transportation costs of the Lost Packer
company, and it is said that not over
ninety days would be required to con-
struct 1t.
it is stated that the Lost Packer
company has followed It's ore body on
the T00foot level fifty feet or moro
further to tbe north than the ore has
ever been found to extend, and that

some BRIGHT SPOTS
IN utah CON. REPORT
Hayden Stone and Company
Shows Where the Sunshine
Is Concealed.

After comparing the figures given
by the various annual reports Of the
Utah consolidated company for the
past few years, the last weekly letter
of Hayden, Stone and company dis
cussed the recently issued report in the
following tone:
These figures are bad; we had al
most sald-suspiclously bad The one
redecming feature about the report is
the gain OF 284,2 tons III the ore
reserves. IT the results gained in 1908
were any criterion of what the com
pany may be expected TO do in future
years. the stock would be selling at
least twice too high.
"A very slight analysis, however,
will convince one that these figures
are no basis for estimating future re.
suits. Everything combined to make
1908 the poorest year in the history
of the company-low prices for copper
and silver, eStortionate smelling
charges, and curtailed production
1909 may not show q very great inn
provement, but April 1910. the now
smelter of the International Smelling
g. Refining company will be in a posi-
ton to receive Utah Consolidated S ore.
Some Of the advantages that will ac-
crue to the corS~any through the opeu.
ing Of this smclter may be enumerated
AS follows. Q) Larger output. (2) a
corresponding lower cost per ton for
mining, (3) tremendous saving per ton
in smelling charges, "a higher rccov-
cry per ton in all metals.
''Tt is officially stated that under
its new contract. Utah Consolidated will
save S365,OO0 per annum in smelt
ing charges. This alone is equal 10 81
per ton, or ? cents a pound. While
the company may not be credited with
rs large a recovery as If il were doing
its own smelling, it will doubtless re-
ceivc credit for much more than under
IFS present contract. and it should be
safe to figure forty-fiye pounds of cop.
per per ton. BY that time. also, there
should be a recovery In the market for
have cost the company last year in
the vicinity of $4,000, The combined
effect of these factors should be to
reduce the cost of production by at
least 2la cents pound. or say to s
cents. With an output of 100000 tons
annually, and recovery OF forty-five
pounds per ton. the company would
produce 100000 pounds, which, at
cost of s cents pound, would net
it, on 1i-ceut metal market, $780,
600, or over So share.
E'We believe that this estimate will
be found much more accurate basis
for estimating the future operations
of Utah Consolidated than the results
obtained in 1908. The mine is appar-
entity still as valuable as ever. as wit
ness the fact that after mining 250,-
600 tons, the ore reserves were IN
creased by full years production.
Utah Consolidated may have passed its
period of phcnomenally low costs. but
there is no reason to suppose that the
company will not put out very sub
stsptial amount of copper, at rca-
sonable cost, for many years TO come y

RAWH|OE IS MAKING

"There never was a camp knocked

intend TO get 10 work at once.
''There are fourteen sets Of leasers on
the Rawhide Coalition estate. and every
one of them is doing remarkably we'll;
all are in ore. | can verify the strike in
the Mint lease. as ] saw five feet of
orc running $40 TO $40 gold per tou
while three feet of the same strike was
being sacked for shipment. and which
ran anywhere from $500 TO $4,000 per
ton. The camp is being operated almost
entirely by leasers, and they are do
ing the best kind Of mining. On the
Queen property there arc seven sets of
leasers, all making money. The Grutt
Balloon Hill lease has four feet Of ore,
ranging from $500 10 $500 per ton,
while a streak in this vein runs 800
ounces silver and fiftytwo ounces gold
per ton,
HTbe camp is demonstrated now to
depth of $50 10 400 feet, and the best
showings so far had are being found

eastern capital coming into the camp,
ing eastern people have been there for
shaft and cut in the camp, and another
25-stsmp mill is being installed. A
large mill is TO be installed on Walker
lake, where there is an abundance of
water, and to this plant the main por.
tion of the camp s milling ores will go.
The railroad grade into the town is com
pleted, and they expect 10 be laying rails
during the summer. The camp contains
abont 1900 people. and those who are
coming in are coming with money for
investment purposes. The town Is pick
ing up, and looks like il will be the
center of interest during the summer,
The trend there now seems TO be

is located about one mile northwest
of the town. There is considerable
work being done there, and money likes

WONDERFUL GROWTH OF

By reason OF the demonstrations of low

would scarcely look at copper mining

The first company TO demonstrate the
value OF large grade ore deposit
Was the Utah Copper company, with
