Is the Tintic smelter getting into that closing
habit again? A year ago the plant used to close
every time the superintendent went Ashing. Did
a foreman want a diluk of ginger ale? The plant
shut down. Did the chief engineer's wife want
him to go shopping with her? Close the smelter!
When it got so that the flres were pulled every
time a shift boss's baby had the colic it was
seen that a change would have to be made. The
evils of the clos'ng habit were solemnly pointed
out to the concern, it became properly repentent
and made the "Never again" swear. It kept the
pledge for months anl months and only fell from
giace on July 24th. For publication, though not
necessaiily as an evidence of good faith, the man.
agement Issued a statement that the shut-down
was for the purpose of making alterations and
would not continue for more than two weeks.
The village gossips said that the smelter was
talking because it thought it saw a sale right in
the middle of the road ahead of it. If that were
the case the smelter needs spectacles, for there
was no sale there. "Uncle" Jesse Knight and
Ernest R. Woolley were deceived in the same
manner. They are said to have packed their
grips and gone half way to the depot before
they found that the sale was a visual hallucina
tion. 5 2fc ?
Since the report that D. C. Jackling would
become chief owner of the Herald gained cur
rency, h's faithful lieutenants at Bingbam and
Garfield have been nursing hopes of advancement.
One of the ablest mine foremen In the West
Mountain district his name is Malloy; or some
thing like that has figured out a comprehensive
campaign of development on the Herald and
Jackling is said to be sitting up nights consid
ering it. Malloy thinks the Herald organization
is all wrong. The property should be operated by
three shifts and should "sboot" at least once a
day. This thing of having an explosion only when
a Democrat is elected to office or Senator Clark
comes to town makes them too fai apart, Mr.
Malloy says: The Herald needs a pipe line to the
Floor de Fiz soda fountain and a better roasting
process the present roasters do not draw enough
draft. Malloy wants to be superintendent of the
plant. He would put a couple of good men to
sorting tho stuff that comes from the muckrakera
and would send everything over the dump that
did not carry at least 5 cents a line.

The see-sawing of Grand Central on the stook
exchange has given many of the operators palpi
tation of the heart. Not for a long time has any
news been awaited so anxiously as the news that
G. C. has tapped the vein to the west on tho
1,800 and 2,100 levels. The price variations, it
is a safe guess, are due to a hard wrestle between
bull and bear interests.
MOTOR MOTIONS.
It is the height of the season locally witb tho
owners, and the tail end of the summer for the
dealers. The former are enjoying their cars to
the limit; and the latter have not a, car to sell
and have not had for weeks; in fact, for the ma
jority of those on auto row the season of 1909
cars is at an end, and all are awaiting the deliv
ery of the 1910 models, which will begin coming
early in August.
With the roads in splendid shape and the
canyon resorts in full swing, the motors are hum
ming merrily out of town for the week ends, and
many are the parties planned for the ensuing
month. A dozen jaunts are in prospect among
those in the smart set who want to avoid the
crowds, the noise and the confusion necessarily II
incident to the encampment of the Grand Army II
in the first half of August. The Cottonwoods are II
calling their regular quota of pleasure seekers, II
while Parley's and Provo canyons are drawing H
their respective enthusiasts. II
Denver motorists are steadily working up en- II
thusiasm for their run from that city to the City II
of Mexico in October. The path-finding trip of U
the Chalmers-Detroit 30-horsepower, which cov- M
ered 2400 miles in 23 days under great difllcul- D
ties, is a matter of history. For convenience, the II
route has been altered to avoid the trip through II
the Sierra Blanca desert, in which the pathflnd- II
ers pretty nearly perished. The start of the race II
Is to be made from some convenient place in the H
city of Denver and the finishing point will be at II
the famous statue of the Iron Horse in the Paseo Wk
de Reforma in the City of Mexico. II
