The need for some remedy OF con-
ditions on the business streets OF the
city where gutter pipes empty on the
sidewalks was plainly discernlble this
morning when at each 81 these places
a strip Of the sidewalk three feet
wide was coated with ice. a serious
menace TO all persons going along the
street. IL someone happens to fall
and get hurt on the ice formed at
one OF these places. perhaps the city
council Will take up the matter and
try to have something done toward
preventing the accident from happen
ing again. but there Is such thing

CITIZENS SHOULD REGISTER
Registration Books now Opcn-Poil
Tax Receipt and County Certificate
Required to Register.

The municipal election for this CITY
will be held on the second Tuesday
in April, which is the time for the
holding of municipal elections and as
it is probable that the plan to estab-
lish commission form Of government
will come up at that time to be voted
on, it is desirable that all Of the
citizens of Sumter be prepared to
vote in the election.
The registration books for the city
are now open and all persons who
wish to vote in the municipal cleo
tion should be sure to register in time
for the election. Mr.. F. d. Knight is
supervisor of registration and per-
office open at any time during the
day. To register a person must be
living in the incorporate limits of the
city and must have a county registra-
ton certificate and poll tax receipt for
the year 1911. Unless he has these
with him at the time that he applies
for his registration certificate he will
be unable to register.
hTe eletcion is now twelve weeks
off, but as the county books Of reg
istration are open only on the first
Monday in each month those persons
certificates have only two days on
which to get them, the first Monday
in February and the first Monday in
March. The city registration books
close ten days before the election and
therefore ali persons desiring to vote
will have to register with the super
visor of municipal registration by the
last Saturday in March.

Subterranean Passages
 in the Tintic District.

The Salt Lake Herald presents a description of an interesting subter- ranean passage at great depth in the Tintic district, created by the union of mine workings along what may be called the Centennial Eureka ore channel. The Herald says:
 "Through an opening made recent ly from the I,600-ft. level in the Gen. tennial.E Eureka mine at Tintic into the Grand Central it makes it possible now for a man to enter the old Mammoth workings quarter of mile under ground, and picking hls way in a northerly direction through the dark passages and along vast stopes big enough to receive Hotel Utah, pass through Mammoth, Grand Central, Centennial Eureka, Bullion-Beck. Eureka-Hill, Gemini and probably other northern extensions of this re- markable ore channel. On straight line it covers close to two miles, but by following the underground work ings the dis tance is probably twice that far. By sauntering around to the east from Grand Central for about B. 800 fit. the Victoria may be reached. Offshots from the main workings take one along dark channels into Chief Consolidated, King William, Eagle & Blue Bell and perhaps dozen other adjoining properties. The connection recently made between the Gen. tennial- Eureka and Grand Central was on the latter's 2,O00-ft. level. All these groups having thus been connect ed, it is of vast importance in better ing air conditions. Besides this, in case of accident it makes it possible for the miners to escape out through the workings of the ighboring mines. An approximate distance from the Mammoth main working shaft is 1000 fit. From the Grand Central shaft northward to the Centennial Eu- reka main shaft is near 5000 it. From there northward to the Eureka Hill shaft is l,500 it., and to the Gemini probably 1000 ft These main shafts are more than 2,000 fit. deep. The Grand Central is little the deepest, having few days ago reached the 2,- 325-ft. point"

Billion Tons Iron Ore.

A Washington dispatch says: A prophecy that the ores held by the United States Steel corporation would be exha usted within 25 or 30 years and that the natural resources of the far west would be utilized was made to- day before the house steel trust com mittee by Joseph Shellwood, an ore expert, who says he has secured the North American continent in search of merchanta ble ore.
 Mir. Shellwood said that in Utah there were known to be a billion tons of merchantable ore. This ore can be used to make steel just as well as any other ore. but it is not near coke or coal or fluxing material, he said
 "But," continued Mr. Shellwood, 'there is a great market in the west for steel and a growing market in the central west, and the time will come when it will be practical to ship that western ore east or to ship from the east the coke and coal"
 Several years ago, Mr. Shellwood explored the Utah ores for James J. Hill, the late John w. Gates and the late E. H. Hartman. They consider ed those ores reserve.
 "How long do you think the Utah ores will be considered merely a re- serve?" asked Representative Gard ner.
 "Probably 9 years"
 MT. Shellwood thought the time would come when it would be prac- tical to build steel plates on the Pa cific coast and told of when Gates and others had considered erecting a steel mill at Los Angeles. With the con- pletion of the Panama canal the avail ability of the western ore, it is said, would increase.
 Mr. Shellwood said there were de- posits of 55 per cent metallic iron ore at Moose Mountain. Ontario, aggre- gating l0,00O,000 tons. In Newfound- land and Nova Scotia. he said, there were similar deposits with which he was not familiar. Ore deposits in Alaska, he said, should be discounted. From hearsay he declared he would estimate the merchantable ores Tn Alabama at LOGO, ,O00,0O0 tons.
