there is nothing to lead us to hope for ;
repetition of White Pine excitement o
a Black Hills stampede. The lively times
and scenes Of
THOSE GOLDEN DAYS
w I never be witnessed again; they are
OF the past only. Yet such camps as
this one will be prosperous and continue
to reward many patient, toiling miner
for the picking and delving he has done.
In talking with prospectors here, your
correspondent learned that many of them
were still hopeful. New prospects are
being opened continuously and good
deal OF prospecting is being done. Cap
ltal is what is wanted in Bingham, and
there is nothing to discourage monied
men from investing in property III the
Oquirrh Mountains.
PAYING MINES
Are being worked here, the largest being
the Brooklyn, which is location on a
continued ledge of the once famous Old
Telegraph. This mine employs about
100 men, eighty of whom are working
under ground. The mine-said to be
the deepest i'll Utah-is sunk to depth
OF Loo feet, and is shipping big quanti-
ties Of valuable ore.-
THE TIEwAUKEE AND YOSEMITE
Are hosting considerable of paving dirt;
many men are doing well with leases on
several smaller claims, and it is confiden-
TALLY expected that the summer will he
a prosperous one. There are,
NINE MILLS
In the district, three ofwhich are run
ming now, and three more are preparing
to start up. There are also several Gig
gers" working and altogether, without
creating any excitement, Bingham is
contributing its share of wealth to the
country and making respectable returns
to those who have money invested.
1t Is at this season of the year that men
get restless. After the long confinement
OF winter is broken by the return of warm
spring, the miners crave for a change of
location and climate, and they strike out
Tor other camps. This uneasiness is
called

And many of the Bingham diggers have
it, and are going to Idaho and Montana.
Their places will doubtless be taken bv

should have been suspended, but there is
valid reason for the Judiciary having
permanently adjourned. Brief told, it is
as follows: Notwithstanding that the

means meagre, the county has made no
