PREPARE FOR WINTER.
Outlying Properties Should Give Close
Attention to Roads.

With winter at hand and the usual
prospect of heavy snowfall outlying
properties should make every possible
precaution to keep the ROADS in pass
able condition. During the winter
months mining operations, especially
in the more remote sections suffers
a severe setback and In many cases
complete shutdowns are necessary by
reason of no transportation facilities.
Many cars of ore that otherwise would
be sent to the smelters are held back
awaiting the breakup of spring. Of
ten this is unavoidable but many times
a little money wisely spent on roads,
would be of greater advantage to the
property than the same amount spent
in developing underground the time
saved being reckoned.
Wagon roads over which ore must be
hauled, connecting mines with mill,
smelter or railroad, are factors in
mine operation that too often do not
receive the care and attention that
they deserve and that economy of OPP
Grafton dictates. Wagon haulage is
a slow and expensive method of trans
pc rtation for freight and ore, but, un-
fortunately, it is sometimes the only
means available. In mountainous or
hilly regions where mines are usually
! situated it is impossible to avoid
| grades, but in many cases grades can
be eased by changing the route, and
thereby save horses and time and in
crease the haulage capacity of the
road. This applies equally as well
t. motor haulage, the present day
tendency being to adopt the use OF
automobile trucks. But goo droads
are just as necessary to the automobile

as to the horse, when efficient thans-
port is desired.
There is no economy in leaving roads
&c take care of themselves. 1t is less
expensive 10 keep a road in good con-
ldtion-grading. smoothing over the
r, ugh places and picking off the stones
than 1t is to do heavy hauling over
road that has been neglected. Pre-
cautions must be taken to protect
roads from washing during rainy
weather, and where the ground be-
comes soft when wet the road should
be of corduroy construction or well
ballasted with rock so that the wheels
of heavily-loaded wagons cannot cut
in deeply
In many cases the length of haul
can be considerably shortened by
changing the course. Many wagon
foads follow old trails and are followed
from habit. when the benefits to be
gained by change of route would
more than balance the expense in
volved.
Usually wagon roads leading to mills,
railroads, etc, are used by several
mining companies which can to their
own benefit cooperate in keeping them
in good repair.

CHINESE SELLING IRON
IN AMERICAN MARKET
Low PRODUCTION COST AND
HUGE ORE DEPOSITS MAKE
1T PROFITABLE.

The mills and blast furnaces of the
Yangtse Engineering company of Han
koW, China have sold to the steel mills
of Pittsburgh, Youngstown and Cleve-
land great quantity of pig iron, to
be delivered within the next three
months, says Wong Kwong, chief en-
gineer of the company, who was in
Salt Lake yesterday on his return from
Pittsburgh, where with Ii Chung, gen.
eral sales agent of the Yangtse Engi-
neering company, he closed the con-
eracts.
Wonk Kwong declared that it is
POSSIBLE for the Chinese mills to I'M
Gersell the American manufacturers of
pig iron and pay the freight on ii a
distance of 5000 miles over the seas
and 1000 miles overland in this coun-
try on account of the cheaper labor In
China and the low cost of production.
The mills at Hankow are controlled
by Japanese capital and the extension
of trade into this country is the first
competition that the steel making in
dustry has had with the orient.
! Il hear you have great iron depos-
| its in Utah, but until the supply in the
eastern states is exhausted and the
cost of production increases in other
countries the fields will not be devel-
oped?" said Ii Chung. Americans
should not be surprised that the Chi
nese mills can sell pig iron in Pitts
burgh. We have great quantities OF
iron and coal in the vicinity of Han

mill districts in Pennsylvania is nov
selling above "a a hundred.

labor in China for less than Is cents
a day, American money, and can ge
miners and laborers for less than II
cents day. We expect to increase ouI
trade with the United States as We &C
along and'hope to be able to get more
trade from Europe. We will make pig
iron exclusively until' our workingmer
get acquainted with the rolling mill
ing and the structural steel plants
which we are building at this time"

The Prospector and His Burro
Discuss the Shoestring Promoter
twin c. Higgins in Salt Lake Mining Review

"The cold nights we are having, of
late said the prospector to his burro,
ARE suggestive of two courses of ac-
tion. one of which is that we pull out
for the valley and spend the winter
there. while the other is that we mud
chink the cabin, fix up the leaks in
the roof and begin at once to haul in
a supply of wood sufficient to last US
until late in the spring.
You say" continued the prospector,
that this wood question is very an
moving to you, as you notice that the
hard labor attendant upon getting in
10 the share of burro, if there is one
in camp; and, you are of the opinion
that if we could only capture two or
three prisoners in the cabin until
spring that we could get along without
any additional heat, excepting for
cooking purposes.
1T is very clever of you, l am sure
to give birth to such a brilliant idea
and. although you look as solemn as
an owl am almost inclined to be-
lieve that you are poking fun at the
two 'shoestringers' who were with us
a week ago. and who might be compar-
ed to satan who took the Lord to the
top of high mountain Git might have
been Mt. Baldy,) and offered him the
whole layout below, if he, the Lord
would assume certain obligations; for,
as you well know, these two hot air
merchants were willing to give me a
quitclaim deed to Rockfeller's mansion
sff, in return, l would give them a con-
trolling interest in my Robin Hood
mine. OF course, as you may well
suppose there was nothing doing, for
when some of these fellows who are
somewhat inflated with furnace heat
come along | always hang out the
danger signal and put in a hot call
for the fire department; for, believe
me, man who is attacked by this
class of promoters has got to get into
the safety zone, and get there quick,
II he wants to retain possession of his
property, for the hot air man is more
persuasive than a Lincoln and more
persistent than a bulldog, and the
mining man who can get away from
them with clear title or whole skin
is entitled to a Carnegie medal or a
leather chrome.
1T is truly wonderful how hard it is
to get away from these hot oven fell
lows, even if you are as nimble as a
squirrel and as hardy as buck deer;
and it has always been wonder to me
where these fellows get all their gall
when they approach a prospector who
has just uncovered young and we'll
weaned bonanza and offer to incorpor-
ate company for its operation and
development if the prospector will give
them a controlling interest in the con-
Germ; and, these fellows are often SO
ingenious and convincing that the
bait and after the deal is closed be-
comes afflicted with the belief that he
is an unusually fortunate fellow and
that the hot-air man is an angel in
guise is complete, for he usually comes
from place that is an opposite dir
ection from the north pole; and the
poor prospector basks in the genial
heat emanating from their adhesion to
him until finally, he is consumed al

ence might make unnecessary the
taking Of strike vote by referring

after hearing the demands OF the IN
ions. however. the railroads declined
10 make a counter proposal and dis
missed the subject by offering 10 fur
ther discuss wha, they termed q
tentative proposition" which granted
the mems eight hour demand but re
fused all others.
The unions declined to consider the
tentative" offer and the railroads
then suggested placing their differ
euces before the Interstate Com
merce Commission for decision. or if
that body was without authority, that
both sides Join in peritioniEg con
gress to grant necessary power Il this
proved unsatisfactory to the unions
the railroads suggested arbitration
under the Newlands Act
The men rejected the two propo-
sitions. Their spokesman, a. B. Gar
retson, president of the order OF Rail
way Conductors, in ~ impassioned
speech said that the men would new
or consent to arbitration because OF
the failure OF the unions TO obtain
justice in prior disputes through that
method
The leaders of the four unions, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
eers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmel, and the
Order OF Railway Conductors, upon
Withdrawing from the conference lost
no time in drafting the strike ballot
and in order to expedite the vote
caused their distribution throughout
the country by the 600 union dele
gates that had also attended the con-
ference
1t was pointed out at that time by
the Brotherhoods' leaders that a vote
ordering a general strike did not nee
essarily mean the immediate insti-
tuition Of the strike. It was explained
that the strike order would not be is
sued until every effort looking toward
an amicable settlement had been eX-
hausted.
In statements issued by the rail
road heads, following the break up Of
the conference it was held that the
eight hour day demalded by the men
did not actually mean a shorter work
day but rather an increase OF % per
f,nt. over ez.sting wages for the
same amount of work, and an in
crease in many cases Of 81 Il per
cent. for over time as compared with
