IILD VISITED BY Big
FIRE FRIDAY NIGHT


Last Friday night at about eleven
o'clock IRE destroyed four business
houses in the prosperous village Of
10. The origin of the fire is un-
known and no one seems to be able
to give any conclusive status as re-
| guards just where the confiagration
started but it is supposed to have
begun under the stairs leading to
the McMinimy Law Office, betwee n
the Register Office, and the double
front Jennings building.
Nearly all the citizens of the vil-
lage who we're not wrapt i'm slumber
were in attendance at the spelling
contest which was ia progress just at
the edge Of town and when discover
ed the flames we're Ieaping from both
of these buildings with equal vehi-
mence. Fortunately FOR the balance
of the city there was a good water
supply and the wind was scarcely
audible and the flames we're kept
from spreading across the street OF
going further in the same block.
Beades the two buildings men,
toned, the Red Cross Pharmacy
and the I. c. Jennings harness shop
building we're destroyed. The second
floor of the double Jennings block
was occupied by the TIo club rooms,
and in the west lover room. = pic
ture show held forth at intervals. In
the second story OF the Register
building was the law Office of G. o.
McMinimy, which was also total
loss, with no insurance. Above the
drug store was the Office OF DR.. H.
c. Parrish, who lost most of his sur
gical instruments and other Office
equipment which was covered by In
surance. The drug stock and build-
ing was approximately covered by
insurance. The Register carried
$780, and The Jennings people Who
claim loss of $4,000. carried $500
insurance. The total less is roughly
estimated at $40, 900.
w. T. Simmons, owner of the
drug store building 24x50 on the old
site. I. G. jennings is erecting q
frame building for his harness shop
and residence on the old site also.

Very little was saved from any of
the burned district except from the

 The ability of the company to Keep it's costs down even when runuins, as at present. but DO per cent of capacity Is the all important feature oi the rec. ently Issued report for the September 30 quorsed. September was the only month during the period that the re- strlction in output was in iuil force, but not wilhstanding this the cost Tor the full month was but l.6 per pound against 7.S cents iu the previous quar- ter when everything was running at full blast By the inclusion Of the earnings Of inc Bingham & Garfield railroad as a credit to copper costs, the figure for September is reduced l i6.95 cents. Practically all the earnings of the railroad now accrue to the Utah Copper Company because Of the retirement of the Bingham 6 Garfield bonds.
 If this seven-cent cost can be main tained-and September's results inoi- cate that it can-the Utah Coppuer Company even on the present price l for. copper. can show very creditable earnings. although not enough to coy' ! CT the present dividend of $S per share l Production is running about S0'OOO- 900 pounds per annum which should result in net Of SS.o0o.444 or S2.o0 per share.
 A long period of restricted produe- tion coupled with n 1-2 cent copper might force a reduction in Utahs dl- vldends. The possibility of quick re- covery in earning power under nor nal conditions, however, Is strildngly evident in the costs now being achiey- cd.
