An achievement Of considerable i'm

crosscut from the Mascotte tunnel. This
crosscut was run for o. distance of $500
feet and raise was sent UP 400 feet
to catch the old 1GN0-foot workings of
the Brooklyn This piece of work al
most paid for itself in the ore that was
taken out in the upraise. The workings
are now producing both lead-silver and
copper-ii,on sulfids. From the ore al
ready IN sight the company will be
able to draw a large tonnage for long
time to come.

THE UTAH CONSOLIDATED.

NNE of the achievements OF the year
~ in Bingham was the finishing OF tho
construction OF tho aerial tramway by
the Utah Consolidated Mining COM
pany. This was the final link in finish
ing up the details for cheaper smelling
rates, after the company was COM
PEELED to close down its Highland Boy
smclter on account of a court injunc
tlon. BY the use Of the tramwny the
shipping cost is cut from Al cents to
about 10 cents ton.
A new era has been started by the
Utah Consolidated company which has
the record of producing the cheapest
copper in Utah. For tho past three
years the company has boon followed
smelter the company was compelled to
make n hard contract with the local
smelters for the treating of it's ores,
This contract was heavy strain on
the resources of the mine, Then after
q long wait the new International
smelling plant was constructed and the
tramway extended over the mountain
from Carr Cork off main Bingham can
yon to Pine canyon in Tooelc county.
Il distance of four and a half miles
Although the mine shipments arc
small at present there Is Il world Of
undcveloped ground in the property.
Development work Is being pushed at
the property and fair tonnage is be-
Ing sent over the tramway each day
to the smcltcr. The ore from the Utah
Consolidated mine carries considerable
iron and Is an ideal nuxing product
for smeltor.

During the year the Utah Consolidat-
cd finished its five mile tram over the
mountains to the International smell

work. This alone means Il saving of
almost 81 cents II ton in the trans
portation of the ores.
The building of the Bingham Il

their eyes met. The street boy sprang

Origin of the Name of This Group es
Daring Criminals.
According to the United States Sc
cret service, the Black Hand Is a title
common to innumerable groups of
criminals operating under the direction
Of some secret central government.
These men are blackmailers, using
murder, arson, kidnapping and bomb
throwing as punishments for those
who will not submit to their iniquitous
demands. Black Hand is, Ia short, a
handy name for a brand Of crime pc.
culiar to italian criminals who are sue
cessful In 1t because of the tempera-
ment Of the foreign immigrants and
their Unborn dread Of the extortionist,
Whether the central government which
guides the Black Hand society is To-
Gated In the United States or In Italy
is something which neither the Italian
nor American authorities can discover.
United States officers say the name OF
the American Black Hand emanated
from Chicago about ten years ago.
when one of the first Of many mystic
rious murders In the Italian quarter
remained unsolved. The victim Of the
murder had received a warning that
death would follow his failure to con-
tribute a specified sum of money. The
letter was embellished with a crude
drawing representing a fist clutching a
dagger. The fist and dagger gave the
name Black Hand-later to become u
pleasantly familiar to every citizen OF
the country-and the sinister sketch
was soon q source of terror to all law
abiding Italians.-Wide World Maya

TEXAS PECAN CROP
 AGAIN VERY SHORT
Attention Is Now Turned To
 Planting the Trees
CROP IS VERY VALUABLE
Increased $s1 100000 In One Year-Cattle Ranches Are
 Being Reduced

San Antonio, Tex, December 1-(Spe- cial. .)-Again, as has been the case in pre- Yious years, the pecan crop has not equalled the demand and the crusade to acquaint the children of Texas, through the public schools and other channels, with the value of the pecan tree in the wealth of the state is being taken up with renewed vigor. It is proposed that at every school in the sections where pe- can trees grow, day be set apart for the planting of the tree in memory of the late Gov. James Stephen Hogg, who re- quested that a pecan tree be planted at the head of his grave. During his public life he was constantly drawing attention to the possibilities of pecan culture, point ing out what great addition it would make to the wealth of the state.
 The pecan tree. indigenous to the San Antonio country, grows wild along the waterways. It is graceful, large tree of comparatively rapid growth. Of late years 1t has been cultivated and San An tonic now has the largest pecan rehan- ding factory in the United States with ready market for the delicious nut.
 From a value of $5oo.0oo the pecan crop handled in this city has grown to $75o0o0 annually. The nut is handled by machin- cry, and shelled oceans in great quanti- ties are shipped north about this time of the year at the end of the season. The paper shell" oceans. a nut with a shell very easy to remove, is. of course, the most popular and this Is the variety that is being cultivated. There have been in dividual trees that produce as high as M50 worth of oceans in one season. Lately large orchards of thousands of acres in extent have been set out In southwest Texas devoted to orange, lemon and pe- can trees. The pecan tree reaches produ- cling growth in about 13 to 15 years.
 Uvalde ships this season to San An tonio four cars of oceans. A lady in
 that town IA years ago planted the seed
 of soft shell variety and this season
 from each tree an average of $2o worth of oceans were gathered Had good stock
 been budded, even this showing would have been surpassed. The pecan bears
 with reference to the age of the tree from
