ANOTHER YEAR
 IN INFLUENZA
Disease Must Rage Until All Susceptible Per
 sons Have It.

Spanish influenza is not expected by the state department of health to die out in Connecticut before two years. This opinion was expressed yesterday by Commissioner of Health John T. Black and Dr. T. Bben Reeks, director of the bureau of preventable diseases.
 To put it plainly, these officials have concluded that all residents of the state will have to stand the in fluenza test before the disease wears Itself out. A large percentage of the residents have been found to be nat urally immune, while others are read fly susceptible. Until the greater number of the susceptible ones have come into contact with the disease, it will continue to develop in various districts.
 The physicians ascribe the recur- renee of the recent epidemic at pres ent in different parts of the state to the fact that these sections escaped the full force of the previous epi- demic. Susceptible persons who did not come into contact with influenza when 1t was at it's height are believed by the health department to have es- caped it then merely because they were not exposed to the germ. It be- lieves that persons now afflicted have since come into contact with it.
 Both doctors said that it could not be impressed upon the public too strongly that the most practical way to keep down the number of influenza, cases and subsequent mortality was for persons with colds, however slight they might consider them to be, to remain away from public gatherings. They pointed out that, for one person in an office or workroom to continue at his work while bothered with a cold, was not altruism to his employ CTS but an injustice to his room mates.

D. P. Carpenter, who is man.
ager Of the oil operations in the
Oakley fields, is now in Pitts
burg, securing experienced drill
ers for the well on the I'D ranch.
He is also arranging to have
machinery shipped to Oakley for

wells, people in some parts of
the state have been heard to
speak Of the Burley oil wells.
Burley is almost thirty-tive miles
from the derrick on the id
ranch, while Oakley is only

1t is reported that drilling in
the Raft river section south of
Almo was begun last Sunday.
A large crowd had gathered to
see operations begin.
Drilling in the Oakley field
will begin very soon. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Carpenter will
return with the drillers next

Mill in Operation
at Vipont
Tramway Carries 80 Tons of Ore
From Mine to Mill Tuesday.


~
The new concentrating mill at
the Vipont began operations
Tuesday. On that day the new
tramway carried 30 tons of ore
from mine to mill, and the proc
ess of trying out the machinery
was begun. The mill has daily
capacity of 100 tons. 1t is not
probable that it will be run at
full capacity for several weeks,
as some time will be consumed
in adjusting the equipment to
the requirements of the ore.
At present 110 men are en-
ployed at the mine and at the
mill. This number does not in
clude the cooks and Mattresses
at the boarding houses.
Up to this week the work at
the mine wss concerned chiefly
in blocking out the ore. This
week the actual mining began
on a large scale. In a very
short time the mine will begin
to ship concentrates.
At the meeting Of the stock
holders Tuesday the following
board of directors was chosen:
R. E. Phelan, president; J. w.
Bringhurst, secretary treasurer:
F. A. Wardlaw; C. A. Phillips,
and W. H. Paddock. r. H.
