there were three levels In the mine
on this side from which the ore
could be mined and taken very much
cheaper than II could from the Park
City side and that a mill built on the
other side could not find n location
where II would be safe from snow
slides. while American Fork canyon
presented several such sites within
easy tramway distance from the tun-
mel entrances.
Some Of the American Fork canyon
miners accompanied the experts to the
Pittsburg mine during the summer
and expressed their surprise at the
great quantities OF ore exposed and
the excellent formation to make very
large deposits. not only OF milling
but OF shipping grades as well, and
stated that the ore was continuous
for the entire three levels or 300 feet
with frequent beddings of great ex-
tent. This ore was opened by lens
ers in recent years. working on short
lenses. which were taken from them.
with the object probably to get the
mine opened up without making any
notoriety OF the great deposits of ore
opened up. and the lcasers could do
but very little shipping, as the ore
opened was principally of the mill
ing grades.
II is highly probably that the sum
mer Of 1921 will see a great tram /
way built to the bottom OF the can
yon and perhaps zoo men employed
to mine and mill the valuable milling
ore with many ore teams hauling the
resultant product to market.

committee, clad in overalls, to-day
began an investigation of food prices
by eating lunch prepared by Russell
j. Poole, city food director.
Mr.. Poole served the committee ham
sandwiches which he said cost s ~ cents
each. "Thcy are twice as thick, both
in bread and meat, as those you pur-
chase in the ordinary restaurtn. In
certain restaurants sandwiches half as
thick as these cost 20, rs and 30 cents" "
The committee also divided an apple
pie that cost % cents. "At 10 cents a
cut the restaurants are making 100 per
cent profit" Mr.. Poole said. "The
coffee you are drinking costs 40 cents
a pound. Each cup makes forty two
cups"
Alderman Maurice Kavanaugh, res
taurant proprietor, protested that
heavy overhead costs had not been
taken into consideration. He said a
broken coffee cup, 70 rexample, cost
the profits of thirty cups of coffee

Benson Declares
Sin1s's Charge of
Delay an Outrage
Admiral Says Safe Conduct
of Army to France and
Back Was Greatest Feat
the World Had Ever Seen

WASHINGTON, May S.--Rear Ad-
miral Simss charge that delays on the
part Of the Navy Department prolonged
the war four months and cost 100000
lives was characterized to-day by Ad-
miral w. S. Benson, former chief of
operations, as an outrage and an in
justice to the navy. Continuing his
testimony before the Senate Investigate
ing committee, he said the charge, if
allowed to stand, would be "to the
everlasting disgrace Of the American
navy, the first line Of Defense"
"The safe transport Of the American
army to France and back" said Admiral
Benson, "was the most wonderful feat
the world had ever seen or dreamed of.
and it shortened the war very ma
terally.
Tells of Praise for Navy
"Rear Admiral Sims's complaint is
the only one we have heard From our
allies, from the army and from the
American people generally we have
heard nothing but praise for the navy's
part in the war"
Admiral Benson declared that never
in the history of the world had navy
been expanded as rapidly as was that
of the United States after this country
entered the war. The expansion, both
in material and personnel, handicapped
the department in carrying out it's
plans at first, he said, but the close of
the war found the American navy with
more than 100000 officers and men,
more even than there were in the
British navy.
ours was the greatest navy power
the world has ever BEEN" the admiral
declared.
Replying to charges of friction be-
tween the Navy Department and the
Allies, the witness said these were un-
founded. Only one instance that could
be SO interpreted occurred, he declared.
Daniels to Testify Monday
"At one time the French naval at
tache accused me of showing partialitv
toward the British" the officer testi-
fled. 81 put my foot on that and told
hlm, perhaps rather emphatically, that
