Will Move More Earth Than Panama
Canal.

| A subscriber to the Engineering and
Mining Journal-Press Of New York
writes that he has heard that there is
be moved than was moved in digging
the Panama canal. An editor answers
that, according to the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, 232 $4,000 cubic
yards of earth was excavated in the
building of the Panama canal Ac-
cording to the last annual report Of the
Utah Copper company, which operates
huge opening mine at Bingham,
Utah, the total quantity of material
papping and ore-remoyed from the
property to the end of 1921 was I45,-
000. 600 tons, 50 that at the present
time, the balance is heavily in favor
OF the Panama canal. However, Utah
copper is still young mine Ore re-
serves were estimated at 362,0l0, 900
tons on Jan. !. 1922. which added to
the quantity of ore already mined,
Oh ,6a7 600 tons, would indicate that
the operations at the Utah copper mine
will easily surpass the Panama canal
in size before the deposit is exhausted.
In fact, when the hundreds Of thous-
ands OF tons Of Gaping that remain to
be stripped are considered, the total
IL probably more than twice the
amount Of material that was moved in
building the Panama canal. In many
WAYS the wofking of the Utah copper
mine is just as spectacular as the con-
struction Of the canal A mountain is
being razed in Utah, and route for
the canal had to cut through many
treacherous typographical Embraces,
from hills TO swamps. Both enter 1
prises have added greatly to the !,
