CHIEF CONSOLIDATED
REPORT IS RECEIVED
First Half of the Current
Year Shows Big Increase
in Output.
VALUES WERE LOWER
Steady Production Is Assured
and Regular Dividends
Will Be Possible.
VALUES WERE LOWER

Shareholders OF the Chief Consolidated
company are in receipt OF the semi-an'
nual report. covering the fist six months
OF the fifth year Of operations. Presi'
dent Walter Fitch says under date oi
July Is, 1918:
Very substantial progress has been
made in the opening up of the mine.
the footage of development work for
this period being over three times
much as for the same time last
year. and product OF ore nearly
four times greater.
The values contaiped in the ore
have averaged very much lower.
This partially results from a system
adopted OF mining all the quartz en-
countered IN the operation of stop
ing, this became necessary because
OF the impossibility Of following the
ore, in every case. in any other
way.
The reserves OF ore now exposed
. I'm the mine are very satisfactory
and such as 10 give assurance OF
steady product; and earnings and the
regular payment OF dividends
The report shows the following receipts
and expenditures.

DRIFTING TWO WAYS

Regular development is going ahead at
the Mcdonald Ely property through the
Golden Gate shaft, Drifting both ways
from the 320-east level Is being pushed
along the rootwall OF the contact where
Il IS expected good ore shoots will soon
be discovered. Unofficial but authorita-
tive reports from the property are to the
enect that some copper Is being found
In both headings and the Indications seem
To point TO the finding OF good ore In
almost any shift.
No work is being done on the high
grade ledge which was struck a short
time ago. The ore was followed down
Tor some distance and found TO dip un-
der the main level and further work was
postponed. The efforts OF the company
are being directed TO prospecting above
the water level TO gain some additional
knowledge regarding the presence of other
bodies which are Indicated on the sur

TWO PLANTS AFFECTED

The fame OF Utah as an ore smelling
center is acknowledged the world over
and there is in use within this state as
modern a smelling practice as there Is
anywhere. The smelling experts OF Utah
have been called upon to solve some In
tricate smelling problems IN the past.
and there now exists another difficulty
which must be surmounted arising out
OF the new slntering practice In vogue IN
several plants. The following editorial

Loss Was Material.

Both disasters involved material
loss and were quite extraordinary.
In tho case OF the fIue-dust explo-
sion the usual provision OF explosion
doors was insufficient, to prevent
wreckins the hue. while the de-
struction In the playhouse fire was
90 much greater magnitude than that
caused by .nclpient fires which some
times occur In such plants.
In each case the trouble is as
cribed 70 the presence of finely d.
vded elemental sulphur in the gases
from the sinter roasters. This ma
terial settling In the flue-dust and
bag accretions. apparently gives rise
TO dust explosions when the condi-
tions Of temperature and oxidation
are favorable, similar to the progress
sive explosions OF other finely divided
combust!blcs. such as coal dust. That
similar explosions have not occurred
before probably IS due to the fact
that in earlier forms OF roasters the
sulphur was eliminated as some form
~ oxide instead OF sublimed ele-
mcnt. the latter apparently resulting
from the present method OF roast
ing. Both the plants mentioned en-
ploy the Dwight & Lloyd method or
sinter- roasting Characteristic fea-
ture OF which is that n comparatively
thin layer OF ore is quickly agglom-
Grated Into porous mass, highly
suitable for smelling. The mixture
Is exposed TO heat for only a short
time, and the quantity OF air avail
able for oxidation Is limited to that
which can bc drawn through the
charge during It's passage over the
wind boxes.
Under such conditions II is likely
that more sulphur would be SUBJ
limed. and less oxidized. than In the
old forms OF hearth roasting fur
naces. or Ia other forms OF acglom-
Grating furnaces. Thus, In the
Huntington Heberlein pot system OF
slutsr-ros sting. the charge Is deeper,
the air supply more copious. and the
progressive sintering slower than In
the Dwight & Lloyd method. There
is greater proha billy OF sulphur be-
Ing eliminated as oxide

IL appears. however. that even with
the Dwight 4 LLOYD system the ten
Joncy 10 disiiil sulphur into the flue
gases varies with the physical con-
dltion OF the roas,er charge. and the
likelihood Of resulting explosions

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor Farmer:

Editor FARMER:
1t looks very much as though the
present administrations plans to in
crease the police department. in num-
bers would go through and that there
would be nine Ieutenants appointed
according to the Capt. Russell recon-
mendations. Who are the men that
viii get these jobs? Will 1T be the
old men in the department with over
Is years of service or will it be some
of the younger men in the department.
who have strong political pulls?
Should years Of service count for
merit system that the present admin
istration was going to put into eff
feet? The aldermen could not get to-
gether on the matter of providing a
merit system, but they appear ITO have
no difficulty getting together when it
comes to creating more jobs.
There are men in the department
with long clean records of service who
should be recognized by promotion if
service means anything to the munich
pa.lity. What is the future of young
men entering the police department?
If the old men with clean records are
not the ones to receive the promotions
is it not serving notice upon young
policemen that in order to gain pro-
motion they must be politicians and
not cops?
Years of experience have given the
older men the experience needed and
by officers where the new blood is
needed is among the patrol ranks.
= If nine old patroImen are promoted
it means that nine young patrolmen
will take their place for active duty.
IF nina young Iieutenants are appoint
ed it means that ming old men stay
out to pound the pave.
Hoping that Mr.. Warner will run
this deal the way that he would run
his factory-for efficiency; and that
the aldermen will not again talk
about the merit system until they get
ready to perfect the system, I re-
Son of a Veteran Cop.
