CULPRIT AGAIN RENPPEATS.
More Scparators Being Smashed by II
Species of Crank.

SlsSI'S vi
Last fall a number of threShtng out
fits In South Dakota were destroyed
by a peculiar sort of crank, who, for
convenience, was referred to as Jack
the Separator Smasher." After haV-
ing remained idle since that time, this
species of crank has again appeared
in the state. The first victim of the
season is Charles Baine, who is oper-
ating a t%hreshing outfit in Kingsbury
county. A chunk Of iron had been
concealed in a bundle of grain, and
when this was fed into the machine
considerable damage was done n
several members of the crew
had narrow escapes from death or Sc
rious injury by the flying parts of the
machine. The william, who is supposed
to have had some imaginary grievance
against the wner of the t~hraShing
outfit, has thus far succeeded in con-
cealing his identity.

COST OF LIVING HAS GONE
UP NEARLY FIFTY PER CENT

HERE is nothing that interests or comes home to the Ameri-

nation has passed through 13 generally fat years; fat crops
and fat pocketbooks. But they have also been 10 years of fat
prices that the everyday city man has had to pay, and 10 years
of lean tables for him who couldn't.

ANOTHER BINGHAM
SHOULD Be OPENED
Gardner Properties in Deep
Creek Region Look Like
Great Mine.
LARGE ZONE FULL
OF COPPER ORES
Expert Examination Is Said to
Be Under Way at Pres
ent Time.

Is there another Bingham or Ely in the
Deep Creek section Of the state of Ctah
This question Is being asked by salt
Lake mining men who have In view the
Gardner copper properties in the Deep
Creek district. properties which, 1t rs un-
dcrstood. now stand under option TO POW
erful mining nen of the country. from
time to time reports have come from
these copper prospects, visitors to the
same coming away with visions OF new
Bingham sprnging up from the desert OF
western Utah, and filled with figures on
tonnage which would make an automatic
figuring machine ooze oil from each bolt
and joint.
One well-lSnown mining engineer, who
has seen the Gardner properties. says
that the same as yet are impcrfcctly de-
veloped. but each hole that has been sent
down, none very deep, has developed low
magnificent zone. The extent OF this
zone is given all Of 1000 feet long and
1000 feet wide. and, counting the deposit
only a few feet In depth, gives a deposit
of several millions OF tons Of ore.
Ely was too far from railroad tracks
to allow small capital to reap success
from its great porphyry deposits. Strong
interests corralled much OF the camp and
the railroad mill and smeltcr all have
entered. Deep Creek is no farther away
from railroad facilities than Ely was, and
with powerful capital in the saddle all
critics prove satisfactory under the pres
ent eXaminat tion, Reports from Clifton
state that the claims are being treated to
very energetic expert examination at
the present time. and that one of the
largest deals in the history OF the state
Is being put into shape. This is OF vast
Importance to all Utah. and the outcome
VIII be watched with intense interest.
