Mining and Financial The decision of tho cnpitol com mission to use Utah granite In tho construction of the now capitol building has met with general ap proval. The granlto will bo taken from the almost inexhaustable sup ply found in Little Cottonwood can yon. This means tho establishment of now quarries, just above Wasatch and tho building of a railway from Sandy to the quarries Tho effect of this action will bo far-roachlng and be tho moans of really otsabllshing a now quarrying Industry. Now that this good stop has been taken toward tho use of Utah products, It Is hoped that It will be followed up by tho de cision to use Utah marble wherever marble Is to be used In tho building of the capitol. It may not be gener ally known, but within tho confines of the state, may bo found almost any kind of marble. Onyz Is hero also. A number of tho marblo "deposits" have been caroiully oxaminod by Prof. Fred J. Pack of tho University, and Robt. O. Stanley of Colorado and pronounced by them tn bo of first grade White marblo of tho best grade Is found in Beaver county, about two miles northeast of New house. It takes a beautiful polish, and some tombstones made of it years ago show perfect preservation against the elements, while the bases upon which they rest show tho rav ages of time. A derrick has already been Installed hero and tools are on tho ground for operation. It is es timated that there is 00,000,000 cubic feet of marblo In this deposit. In what is termed tho Hobble Creek area, situated about seven miles from Thistle, is found tho most re markable deposit of Bird's Eye marble In the United States. Tills block of marble covers 1700 acres and is proven to extend to a depth of 100 feet, so that any size slabs desired are readily obtainable. Tho com bination of color effects is a feature of the marble and it is so thoroughly consolidated that It will stand an al most unlimited amount of wear, mak lifg a very desirable floor material. In the Crub Tree" area Is a marblo that doei liotdalfe d high polish. It is a reddish fine "grained obllte. . The deposit here has an average thickness of about 'twelve feet. In the Five Mile Pass and 'Pelican Point areas ar$, 'found the black marbles. These.are located on tho west side of Utah" lake, within easy reach of the Salt- Lake Route rail road. A number -of individual bods of this marble have been tested and they range from-eight to four foat in thickness. The marble takes a most beautiful polish and is declared by experts to. be .the equal of the Belgian black marble, which is the accepted standard Ijtho world over. Tliere are other deposits, which to HtheT tattin fchfefcS Ttypve spoken of, are cbrifroffeM-btftV''Utah Marblo and Construction company, of English vein nnrblo, which takes an exceed ingly high polish and makes a vory beautiful interior finish. The copper producers' report for the past month, shows a decrease In production of oight million pounds. Copper metal prices aro remaining at about the samo level as last wook, and aro not likely to drop to much below fifteen cents for some tlmo to como. Other metal prices aro just a shade lowor, but siivor and lead are holding well. With tho prlco of load In London remaining as it is, no foar of load being Imported nood bo entertained. Whut was the result of tho annual meeting of the Ohio Copper company is not known at this writing. As far as the operation of tho property is concerned, it can not bo othorwlso than satisfactory. It has shown a steady monthly earning for many months past. The regular monthly production Is being maintained, and showing an average monthly earning of closo'to $30,000.00. Tho following from tho Mining & Engineering World shows tho earn ings of mines and works for May: An industry that furnishes fully 06 per cent of all tho freight carried by railroads of America and that gives employment to over 2,000,000 men, must bo remunerative, else such re sults would be impossible of attain ment. And when 141 companies, which derive their profits from the results of mino ope -ations, pay divi dends during tho first 5 months of 1913 of $51,092,201, it is evident that romnuoratlon is not restricted to limited lines. According to returns made to Mining and Engineering World these 141 companies have paid dividends since their Incorporation totaling $1,014,633,709. Despite these unquestioned statis tics, certain publications take pious care in warning their readers to be ware of mining investments, portray ing the mines as diabolical contriv ances to tempt the dollars of credu lous investors from so-called legiti mate channels of enterprise, and have gone to considerable expense and trouble to warn intending Investors from the attractions of mining in vestments. Conducted on a legiti mate basis, mining offers tho great est inducements alike to tho wealthy as well as tho man of small moans. Take for instance such mines as. the Anaconda, Calumet & Hocla, United Verde. Goldfield Con., Bunker Hill & Sullivan, and hundreds of other, which have yielded greater returns to Investors, per their capitalization, than any other industrial or commer cial enterprise. Eight securities-holding corpora tions, those organizations looking, for profits principally from holdings In operating companies, were able to pay dividends during the past 5 months totaling $9,G",070. Since in corporation these companies have paid dividends totaling $101,801,427. What further evidence is needed to prove that mining, when carried on OUR 1 ARGUMENT fl Large resources and wide busi- " ness connections, coupled With . courteous, considerate, compet- lJ ent service. jJ NATIONAL COPPER I BANK M "Courtesy, Helpfulness, Strength.
