Takes Increasing Sums From
Hidden Recesses.
Salt Lake City, Utah.—Commercial
production of gold has declined tre
mendously in recent years in this sec-
tion of the mineralized West, but the
old-time prospector, working on his
own, Is taking wealth from its hidden
recesses in ever-increasing sums,
The Salt Lake City assay office, a
branch of the United States mint, is
a clearing house for much of the inter
mountain gold. Similar offices are lo-
cated at Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont. ;
and Carson City, Nev.
Production Drops in Year,
According to C. N. Gerry, in charge
of the local office, gold production in
Utah dropped almost one-half in a
year. The figure for 1931 was $4,108.
823 and in 1932 it was S2.046832,
Gold, most valuable of the metals,
is largely a by-product In this state,
where the production of copper and
that of lead rank as major industries.
Recovery of the yellow metal from
copper ore has declined to almost
nothing, due to curtailed copper min
ing operations. The true figure of com.
mercial in this regard,
probably is around 25 per cent of the
1931 mark.

INSPIRATION

cago, and Hersh:
berger was captain
of the University of Chicago team,
and It was upon him and his leader-
ship apparently that the success of
Chicago depended, when the incident
happened which fllustrates my point,
The game had hardly begun when the
brilliant captain's ankle was broken
and he was carried helpless to the
sidelines. It was the most serious ac
cident which could have happened.
Without Hershberger the game
seemed lost and the team went back
into the scrimmage despondent and al-
most hopeless. But all the time there
was Hershberger lying on the side
lines and he became at once the in
spiration of the erippled team. As
they lined up for play some one ealled
out, “Remember Hershey, fellows,”
and that was the slogan which
throughout the game urged them on
to victory. For Hershberger, erippled
and out of the game as he was, was
the Inspiration which brought his
team to victory,

When a woman does the remodeling
and alterations herself the monetary
saving Is greatly increased. There
are many women who are so good at
this work that they get splendid re
sults. They know that all material
which is tender, although not actually
threadbare, must be Put out, that to

will need another remodeling, Always
the amount of time which must be pul

There are two ways to solve such
a problem. One is to plan the ward

the necessary alterations before a sen.

now, one should see to spring clothes,
and summer ones, too. It is not ton
early to go over summer clothes one
has, and fix them up. Then see what
else is essential,
The other solution Is to eliminate

the recutting of garments to fit a
