Maximum Production Of
Mines and Mills.

The Utah Power and Light Com
pany completed stIinging wire on its
line from the Snake creek power plant
to the Dutchman mine carly in the

turned on. Tho buildings had all
been wired up so the canyon residents
are now enjoying the luxury Of cleo
trio lights.
The mower was primarily brought
over the divide to supply power for
tho Pacific mill which will be in OPP
Grafton some time during the coming
week. 1t will also be used to com
press air for drills in various mines
and will be used to pump the foul
gases that come from the sulphidC

mines.

TWO SENSATIONAL CARS
FROM PACIFIC MINE
Shipment Said to Be Worth
From $4,000 to $4,000, Is
Now Being Sent Out.

The Pacific lcasers shipped a fifty
ton car OF copper this week and are
loading another one that the knowing
ones say will create a sensation when
the returns are received froms the
smelters. The ore comes from the
now famous copper stope in the north
end Of the workings Assays on some
of the ore are said to show as much
as 1900 ounces Of silver per ton, and
over 20 per cent copper. Conservative
estimates are that the ore viii aver
age over $3.50 per ton, and II may
reach 5000. This would give 1t a
value of from $500 to 10000 per car
or, from $4,000 to 100000 for the
shipment.
During the past week the miners
have drifted north on the old upper
workings and made connections with
The uprise from the copper stope
This gives three connections from the
tunnel level with the workings above
and affords ample air In all parts Of
the mine which will enable the prop,
erty TO be worked TO It's maximum
capacity when the mill starts mex
week. and will enable the manage
ment to keep the stream Of ore haul
ers busy from now on henceforth.

The "Tired Business Man,

Are not all business men tired? II
not why do we hear so much about
musical comedies and vaudeville per-
formances that are constructed espe-
cially for the purpose of resting and
refreshing the tired business mani
If there Is any one claim that has
been conceded for ages past it Is this:
Fatigue is much more fatal to a man
than to woman. We seldom hear Of
a tired washerwoman or a tired house
keeper. Nobody ever wrote a musical
comedy for tired schoolmarms. It has
always been held that If a man has to
work at night he must sleep in the
daytime. But everybody knows that q
woman can walk the. floor all night
with sick baby in her arms and still
be able to perform strenuous household
duties next day. MANS work Is from
sun to sun"-that being the limit of his
endurance.--Southern Woman's Maya.

Why the coeoanut Has Eyes.

Who can tell why the cocoanut has
three eyes? Luther Burbank explains
1t this way;
Cocoanuts generally grow at the
edge Of the sea or rivers. The nuts are
surrounded with thick husk with a
waterproof covering. so that when they
drop into the water they will float. In
floating the three eyes are always on
top.
Once in the water nature gets busy.
From one of the eyes there comes a
shoot, which develops broad leaves
like sails. The wind catches the sails
and watts the cocoanut on a journey
sometimes many miles long. AS 1t sails
the other two eyes develop roots,
which at first grow among the fbers
Of the woody husk.
In good season the cocoanut Is swept
upon another shore, perhaps on anoth-
er island. The roots embed themselves
in the soft earth, the sail becomes the
trunk, and cocoanut palm is growing
where none grew before.
