FOUNDATION WAS LAID
BY OGOENITES.

This paper contained an account, a
few days ago, OF piece of road TO be

nected up this railroad construction
with that pioneer irrigation scheme
known as the American Falls Canal &
Power company. which was promoted

which was allowed TO pass into other
hands.
Warren Wattis, who Is back from n
trip over the route of the proposed
Soad, the grading OF which is to he
done by his company, says the section
which Is covered by the canal is the
garden spot of Idaho. and the building
OF the railroad is evidence of the pro-

THAW'S EXAGGERATED EGO
AND HIS SANITY.

That exaggerated ego of which Je-
rome has made so much in the Thaw
hearing comes close to embracing any.
one with we'll defined vanity-in 9th.
er words. an egotism-and IL every
sane man who gets into an insane asy-
lum must prove he has been always
free from egotism. then a sentence to
an asylum Will be more dreaded even
by Togues than term in the peniten-
tiary.
If the case rests on the merits of
the mans hearing before Judge Mills.
then Thaw has proved himself to be
as sane as the great majority of man
kind and is entitled to his freedom,
for if Thaw'S liLtle vanities are sunl-
Client on which TO base a Judgment
that he is insane. then almost any
man you might question will qualify
for the insane asylum
Men of genius have been often
marked by their Sellesteem. and half
the great achievements of the world
have been by men who have had inor-
dlnate conceitS serving as a stimulus
TO high endeayor
Harry Thaw may be eccentric, and,
under the stress Of love and jealousy
he might have had a murderous brain
storm. but were We TO judge him by
his examination on the witness stand
in Judge Mills court, the verdict
would be that the fellow is sane.
Here is a peculiar view taken by
the experts; When Thaw. after Il
days grilling, retains his self-compos-
ure, the conclusion is drawn that his
exaggerated ego prevents him seeing
anything but triumph in his eXamina-
tion. On the following day. if the wit
ness, after long hours Of pTodding, In
the form Of insinuating accusations
and contemptuous filings. displays Il
spirit Of resentment, then the insan-
ity doctors say: Look. he has lost
self-posscssiQn and shows himself
swayed by the strong passions of dis
ordered mind" So 1haw is damned
by his exaggerated ego on the one
hand and his sense of resentment on
the other. and. unless he can ac: crazy

esteem or naturalness, he will be sent

UTAH TAUGHT MINING WORLD
A LESSON.


Hayden, Stone e Co of Boston. In n
weekly letter on the mines OF the
country, devotes much space To the
Utah Copper company of Bingham
this state. company which has made
a record without equal in the annals OF
copper mining by producing. within
two years after its initial output. $3.50
600 pounds of refined copper in one
month, OF at a rate OF production of
6a,OOOOO0 pounds per annum.
The letter says that now that the
company has gotten sufficiently far
along with the removal OF the surface
stripping, there has been a correspond
ing Improvement in the nature OF the
ore as TO the contents of oxidized ma.
terlal, which has increased the recoy-
cry on the same percentage Of rock.
Coincldent with this has been a most
satisfactory reduction in both mining
and milling costs. The large bulk of
the construction OF stripping tracks is
now completed. which will from now
on. materially reduce the construction
expenses at the mine. The month of
July bids fair to equal the satisfac-
tory results of June
Second only in importance to the
rapid strides made by this company
In the direction of an enlarged output
is It's record of costs. which for June
was Just in excess of S cents per
pound. thus indicating net profits on a
l3-cent metal market of S250.OOO, a
rate Of earnings equal to a trifle over
81 per share on the companys out
standing stock, or about per cent on
their present selling price, Ii is not
likely that this cost Is equalled by any
mine in this country producing a like
amount OF copper a fact rejecting
the advantages we have from time to
time pointed out regarding the opera
ton of porphyry deposits, henceforth
the main factor in this country's futuN
copper supply.
The history of the Bingham min
ing district Is a record of surprises
Originally a silver-lead district, it has
become one OF the greatest copper
producing camps In the United States.
and the mountains of oopper-impreg-
mated porphyTy which were passed
over in the earlier mining excitement
as worthless material. are now at the
foundation of the prosperity which is
holding the attention of the mining
world
Copper mining generally has under
gone a great change In the last iii
teen years. Quartz or regularly de-
fined veins yielded nearly all the cop.
per prior to the new era, and the per
cent of copper had TO be high in or
der 10 meet the cost of extraction and
reduction, The mines OF the Lakes.
such as the Calumet & Hecla. were
IN conglomerate. but the yield of the
Butte properties was from great veins.
With the uncovering OF the porphyry
belt OF Bingham. an entirely new
source OF copper was discovered, and
now the promise Is that the future OF
the copper industry is dependent on
these large deposits. which occur in
what has been known as country
rock. and which yielding 1 per cent MP
TO per cent copper. are moro profit
able than the copper deposits In vein
formation.
