pSTEEL MAKING PLANS
I GOING AHEAD IN UTAH
IH Blast furnace exports will this week
flUako detailed Investigations pro
Hparatory to determining on location
H and construction of Wast furnaces for
tho Columbia St col Corporation, the
m new 116,000,000 corporation which nl
B re(Ujy has started construction work
B on tho coal unit of its big industrial
H enterprise which is tho dovolopment
H of a steeel Industry using Utah coal
H and Iron oro. Tho Investigation will
H bo made by L. II. Botchforth, general
H manager of the company; H. A.
H Brassert of Chicago, and 8. A.
H Kennedy, another engineer of Chicago,
H all of whom reached Salt Lake yestor
H day. Mr. Brassert and Mr. Kennedy
H are both blast furnace experts.
H Already the company has let con
H tracts for tho opening of its coal
B property which is near 8unnysldo.
B Construction of a railroad four mllos
B Ioll5 'rom tn0 Sunnysido branch of
B the Donvcr and Rio Grande railroad
fl to the property is under way. Sur
B fac0 P,ant construction for tho coal
fl mlno is to start shortly, contract for
fl tho work having been lot. Tho rail
B road construction lncludos tho rail
fl road lino and tipple plant and tipple
B yard trackage. Contract has also
H boon let for work necessary to open
H the coal deposits for production. This
I construction work involves an outlay
fl of approximately $750,000. Tho com-
pany is financed by California Inter
I ests associated with Salt Lako men.
V Detailed tests havo been mado by tho
company's engineers to dotormlno
jf coking valuo of tho coal. No Btato
H ment has yet boon issued regarding
H construction of coko ovens. It Is
fl anticipated that theso will bo built
H near the coal mlno and will bo of tho
H by-product typo so that all of tho
fl properties of tho coal, an addition to
fl tho coko, may bo saved, Tho only
fl coko ovens In tho stato at present,
those at Sunnysido, aro of tho beo
fl hive typo from which only tho coko
is recovorocd. Coko ovens in Utah
requiro an annual tonnage in oxcoss
I of 7C0.000 tons of coal. ,
j Tho Columbia Stool Corporation
has applied to tho publc utilities
I commission for permit to construct a
1 22-mllo railroad from Lund on tho
Salt Lake Routo to tho Iron Springs
district to furnish transportation for
its Iron ores. This application was
I conflicted with ono fllod by tho Union
fll'aclflc Railroad company which has
appealed to tho lntorstato commerco
commission for right to build a fcedor
lino from Lund to Cedar City, a dls
Htnnco of approximately 35 mllos.
I Activity of tho Columbia Stool cor- '
Hporatlon Is tho start of a groat in
Hdustrlal development movement un- ;
fldorway In Utah which Is projected to
Hdavelop coal and iron oro deposits of
Kg r cat extent.
fl Utah's coal deposits aro found in
BlG dltTorcnt fields, only a few of which
Kis yet havo transportation lines avail-
Bible. Carbon county Holds aro to
fljlata tho most developed and tho coal
produced In this area Is of excoptlon
Hal high grado,
B Engineers for tho Utah stato in
dustrial commission mado tho follow '
lng report on tho Carbon county coal
deposits: "Carbon county produces
90 per cent of tho coal mined in Utah,
and, duo to tho number and thick
ness of tho bods, quantity of the coal
and accessibility of rail transporta
tlou, can bo classed as ono of tho
groat coal fields of tho world. Thore :
aro from two to flvo workable seams, '
somo reaching an average thickness
of 27 feet, with practically no lmpur- ,
ities, and very few of tho mines aro i
working coal loss than seven feet in
thickness. Tho average of all the
mines would probably bo 18 to 24
foot of coal in two ooams. Tho coal
is a good grado of bituminous coal,
and tho eastern part of Carbon county
contains a good coking coal. The
Utah Fuol company, at Sunnysido, .
has two mines producing coking coal
and tho samo class of coal extends
boUi ways from their property for a ,
number of miles. (It is In this area
that tho Columbia Steel Corporation
Is opening Its coal property.)
"Tho Carbon county coal flold, duo
to Its great extent has been usually
divided Into different geographical or 1
topographical districts for discussion.
Tho northorn part of tho flold Is con
sidered as part of tho Book Cliff Hold
while tho southern part is part of tho
Castlo Valley flold. Tho main Carbon
county field may bo considered as ox
tending from Sunnysido westward to
Castlo Oato thenco southward by
Spring Canyon and Wattls to Hiawa
tha and Mohrland In Emory county.
In tho northern part of tho flold tho
coal dips northeastward from 5 to 18
degrees, gradually becoming moro
nearly level, until at Hiawatha It dips
but very slightly. Tho pitching
veins aro opened by slopes and tho
flat voins by" drifts. A number of tho
mines aro located on Uio cliffs con
siderably above tho tlpplo sites, mak
ing necessary tho uso of surface in
clines. Thoro aro no shaft mlnos."
Tho lnoxhaustlblo storos of coal In
Utah aro matched by tho groat known
Iron oro deposits and theso two com
modities are tho basis for tho Btool
Industry which is starting to build.
Tho United States geological survoy
many years ngo took cognlzanco of
tho vast iron oro deposits at Iron
Springs of Iron county and mado a
survey of tho district. That roport
sums up tho productive possibilities
of this area as follows: "Tho Iron
oro deposits vary from stringers to
those having nn area of 1,670,000
square foot. Tho aggrogato surfaco
of all tho oro deposits of tho district
Is C.430,000 square feet or .2 squaro
mile.
"Tho aggregate tonnago of all
grades of oro n tho district, deter
mined by multiplying tho known aroa
by tho best available Information as
to depth In pits, drill holes, and
orosion sections, Is 40,000,000 tons.
Tho largost single doposlt, figured on
tho same basis, has 15,000,000 tons.
It Is altogether likely that tho flguros
aro much too small rather than too

DEET CROP SHOWS SLIGHT

i
SEPTEMBER AVERAGE FOR UTAH
8H0W8 SLIGHT DECLINE IN
REGARD TO TONNAGE. SUGAR
PRODUCTION WILL BE SMALL
ER SAYS WASHINGTON REPORT.
A gain of 3.6 points in the condi
tion of tho sugar beet crop in tho
United States during Augdst is re
ported by tho bureau of crop esti
mates at Washington in Its crop re
port for September. Tho condition of
tho beet crop, averaging the entire
country, was 88.6 per cont of normal
on September 1, against 85 per cent
on August 1. Tho September condi
tion, however, Is below that of Sep
tember 1, last year, which was MA
per cent, and also bolow the tea-year
average for September, which la 89.3
per cent.
0a the basis of an average condi
tion of 88.6, tho department of agri
culture forecasts a yield of 8.69 teas
of beets to tho acre and a total crop
of 5,265,000 tons of beets, compared
with an estimated crop of 7,782,000
tons last year and a crop actually
worked up In tho factories of 7,414,
000 tons. As compared with the
August estimate, this is an Increase
of 185,000 tons. Tho average yield
per aero over a ten-year p'orlod Is
9.49 tons.
Calculating tho sugar recovery at
12.8 per cont of tho weight of beets
harvested (tho average return for tho
past ton years), tho government's
statisticians forecast a sugar produc
tion of npproxlmatoly 674,000 Bhort
tons (601,785 long tons), a crop
smaller than has been turned out In
any year, for tho past ten, and only
nbout two-thirds ns largo as last
year's ylold of 1,021,000 tons. Tho
area In 'boots thts"year Is 74.4 per
cont of tho 1921 acreage
Tho estimated boot yield and crop
condition by states Is as follows:
Condition Estimated
Sept. 1 beet crop
per cont tons
California 87.0 495,000
Colorado 90.0 1,635,000
Utah 89.0 807,000

Total .-.....88.G 5,265,000
Tho docroaso In tonnago Indicated
by tho foregoing estimate is greatest
as compared with last year, in Cali
fornia, whom It amounts to over 50
per cent Tho docrenso In Colorado
Is 24 per cent, In Utah, 25.5 per cent;

DOES LEHI WANT A NATIONAL " 1
GUARD DETACHMENT? 1
liUfI
Tho establishment of n dotachmont
of tho Utah National Guard Is to bo
mado In Salt Lako, Utah or Davis
county in tho vory near futuro and
Lehl City Is looked upon as a vory
favorablo location of this dctachmont,
according to avallablo information.
Tho organization to bo established
is really tho oyo of tho regiment It
Is tho duty of tho dotachmont In times
of action to reconnolter tho objective
territory and to establish communi
cation with tho headquarters. Com
munication la maintained with tho aid
of Radio, tolophone, telegraph, motor
cycles and hor&ss. A thorough course
In radio, wireless, wireless telephone
telephone, and fcucser will be gives
which will give tho younger men an
opportunity to get a complete knowl
edge of theso popular sciences In the
Infancy of tho industry. To got in
on tho ground floor In radio Is an op
portunity that does not como very
often.
If Lehl Is successful in getting tho
dotachmont organized here It would
probably consist of tho following
personnel: Two oftlcors, four sorgo
ants, flvo corporals, flvo first class
privates and four privates. Tho fol
lowing equlpmont would bo furnished
to tho outfit: a comploto radio re
ceiving sot, buzzers, tolephono sots,
wireless sets, various anglo measur
ing Instruments, four motorcycles,
four horses, and complete uniforms
and personal equlpmont.
Tho men would bo required to drill
ono night a week, drill to consist of
work on tho difforont instruments
with somo -foot drill. Tho men will
get a full days wagos at tho rato of
tholr rcspcctlvo grado for each nights
drill. Two wooks oach year will bo
spent In camp.
This In a general vny Is a survoy
of tho outfit to bo established. If
