One OF the things which caused the
most serious retardment OF mining
and transportation OF coal during the
year was the breaking OF the Nam
moth reservoir dam during the latter
part OF June, caused. according to the
report OF State Engineer McGonsgle.
by faulty construction OF the dam and
lack OF proper care by the man In
charge. This reservoir was located at
the headwaters OF the Price river. and
was used TO impound water to irrigste
farming lands in the vicinity Of Price.
The natural water channel which car.
ried the water from the reservoir 20
the irrigated lands was along the
Pleasant Valley branch line OF the
Denver and Rio Grande from Scofleld
to Cotton. and the main line Of that
road from Cotton TO Helper. Practi-
cally the entire track from Cotton 60
scofield was washed out. thus closing
this branch Of the road seventy days.
This. OF course. completely closed the
operations OF the Utah Fuel company's

New Ore Reserves

An active campaign of develop
ment is now being carried on in
the Smuggier mine on Brown
mountain near Silver Plume. The
policy of Jerry Simpon. the mine
manager, is to keep opening up
Aew ore reserves while the ore in
sight is being extracted. The
wisdom of this system can we'll be
practiced by other managers.
Arrangements are being made
to sink the main shaft an additionl
100 feet, when levels will be ex-
tended each way from the bottom.
AS there is good sized streak
of commercial ore to start on, the
extent of the ore reserves can
easily be imagined.

Of about 400 tons is being main
