WILL AFFECT SALT
LAKE BANKS LITTLE

Banking men of Salt Lake City are
of the opinion that the order sent out
by the comptroller of the currency
Thursday, calling for a practically
uniform system OF bookkeeping in
the 100 national banks OF the United
States. will affect Salt Lake banking
institutions only slightly. if at all.
The order for a uniform bookkeep-
ing system was issued in connection
with the disclosures following the
forced liquidation OF the Quanah Ma
tional bank OF Quanah. Texas
Lewis S Hills. president OF the
Deseret National bank, said that the
chief complaint OF the bank in Texas
was the lack of a discount register,
He SAYS that all the banks OF Salt
Lake not only carry a discount regis
ter. but such other books as are nee
essary TO keep intelligent records of
the banking business and that at no
time has a bank examiner found
fault with the system in vogue here
This statement voices the views on
the subject of other bankers OF the
city, they say.
Bankers say further that the Texas
bank is an individual case and that
orders frequently are sent out from
the comptroller Of the currency fol
lowing specific cases that come under
the observation OF bank examiners.
However, it Is admitted by the
bankers that they may receive or
ders to install certain systems In
place of some now approved by eX-
aminers for the sole purpose OF OBJ
tanning a uniform method of Keeping
accounts.

IRON BLOSSOM is
DOING DEEP WORK

In some peculiar manner the east
has conceived the impression that the
management of the Iron Blossom
company has gained the l700-foot lev
ol by means of diamond drills, and
the company is not given credit for
the deep development work accom-
pllshed In an efficient workman'like
fashion AS a matter of fact. the No.
l, or south shaft. is driven TO tho
19OO-foot level. and 1t Is kept IN con-
dtlon for operation 10 that depth
The work done on the 1700-foot level
is actual drifting. and not diamond
drilling.
The annual report of this company
recently issued had the following par
agraph in regard to this south shaft:
This shaft Is situated in the south
central part OF the property and was
originally equipped with a double
drum hoisting engine. boilers, etc,
capable of operating to n depth Of
$500 feet This hoist is now electric
ally equipped and gives as efficient
service as steam and much cheaper.
The original policy of exploring for
a deep mine at this point has been
adhered 10. and whenever practicable,
the sinking OF tho shaft has been
prosecuted In October, however, at
a depth of 1900 feet, a flow OF water
Was encountered and further sinking
abandoned. pending the exploration
of the levels above the water zone.
IL ls now much the deepest shaft on
the east side OF the district"
