Under the caption OF philadelphia Capt.
tai in Utah. the Philadelphia Sunday Dis
patch publishes the following article in
reference to the operations of the Niagara
Mining and Smelling company at Bingham:
1.-The Niagara Mining and Smelling com
pany reports from Utah concerning pro
gress Of this company's affairs are most
gratifying to its shareholders. The bust
ness capacity of its board of officers is most
emphatically proven in its advanced strides
of development and production and the
industry, push and results Will soon place
these properties far in advance as bullion
producers. The affairs OF the company are
in most prosperous condition and with an
output of valuable ore daily, and develop
ments in an active state, at an early date
the valuable properties owned by the COM
pany, when fully developed, will not fail in
proving real oonanzas. The secretary of
the company, Mr.. G. Howard Schermer-
horn, in late report to the board of
directors, furnishes the following facts in
relation to the company's affairs:
1.-THE large boarding house has been fin
ished and is now occupied. 1t is said to
be the best ami largest boarding house Of
any mining company in Utah. 1t will ac-
commodate about one hundred men, and
beside the sleeping apartments, contains
dining-room, kitchen, store-house, assay
office, and company's office at the mines.
preparations are being made for winter
work by completing the shed over the
track from the tunnel to the mill and get
ting supplies of timber on the ground
AN additional humping table has been
put in the mill to increase its capacity for
work.
THE large weep-work tunnel is being
driven as rapidly as possible. Recent re-
| port is, that mineral rock has already been
struck, and the miners think that the ore
is not far ahead. If ore is struck before
the Spanish vein is reached it will be q
new discovery and so much extra for our
company Several new claims have been
taken up along the site of this tunnel, as
the ground in that region promises to be
very valuable.
1.-The company have bought some teams
of large strong horses and wagons for use
in the canon in hauling supplies and ship
ments of ore from points where the railway
cannot be used to advantage.
| "Our company is about to demonstrate
the fact that other valuable property in the
caiion is ours, by reason of the apex of a
| lower property being in one of our com
pany's groups. If the claim is established,
the company's interest will be very materi-
J ally increased.

uulue ndS temporarily suspended WOTK III
that part of the mine, Until it can be
pumped out to keep the shaft clear. This
shaft contains the best available ore now
exposed in the Utah mine. Hosting works
and pump are now being erected on the
Utah, so that the suspension of work re
ferred to will only be for brief time
and the water from this mine will
be very useful for the mill, as a larger
supply of water is desirable, and the cold

trouble with the running water of the
canon. The water from the mine being
warmer than the outside water, the frost
will not affect it.
Shipments of concentrates have beer
begun TO the Hanover smelter for the

ore.
Twenty one tons of Give Pine" crude
ore of the second grade were sold for $50
per ton, and number of tons of low grade

higher grade than the "Utahn group
