While out from Salt Lake Friday Mr..
0. B. Hardy granted the Bulletin man
an interview, and from him we learned
that he had organized company, to
be known as the Bingham Copper
company which will operate the
Starlus and Amanda group of mines.
The compaty is composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: Messrs Byers,
Miller and Ecker. of Salt Lake. and
Messrs. G. E. Lee and o. B. Hardy, of
Bingham. Mr.. Hardy says that 1900
feet of piping with which to pipe wa
ter to the mines for air has been or
dered, and that it is quite likely that
Rogers Bros Hydraulic Air Blast"
will be put in. A new 150-ton ore bin
is now being built and every prepara-
ton for increased and vigorous oper-
atoms is being made, and it is the aim
OF the company to erect a concentrate
ing mill on their ground as soon as
satisfactory mill test on the ore can
be obtained. The Starlus is now in
such shape that it can be made to
produce from thirty to forty tons of ore
per day, and the Amanda ore body is
improving daily. The company will
soon establish fine office in the Atlas
block, Salt Lake.
Regarding the electric plant to fur
nlsh lights for the canyon, power for
operating mills and tramways and
also an electric road between Bingham
and Salt Lake-the enterprise in which
he is individually interested and back
lng-Mr. Hardy says negotiations are
now going on for power to operate the
plant, and that the erection of the
plant at no distant time is an assured
fact 80
Messrs. Fitzsimmons, McErlane &
60. are the gentlemen who compose the
Northern Light Mining and Milling
company, the new owners and onera
tors of the Northern Light mine and
the Markham mill. The gentlemen took
charge of the mine and mill this week,
and will vigorously operate both day
and night with, a good force of men.
Mesrs. Fftzslmmons & McErlaine are
strangers in Bingham. and the Bulle-
tin welcomes them in our midst, be-
speaks for them the good will of our
citizens, and wishes them abundant
success in their opera tionS here.
The Montezunla mine continues to
show up we'll and ore is being regularly
extracted for shipment.
Doing assessment work on their min
ing properties is what many Bingham
citizens are now engaged in.
Deputy United States Mineral Sur
veyor Robert Gor1inski has been sur
veying in the Old Reliable again this
week.
The operators of the Peabody mine
of the Stewart No. l group made a nice
shipment of silver-lead ore the latter
part of last week.
The operators of the Ben Butler No.
2 and the Jennie mining claims in
Markham gulch, continue to push de-
velopment work on said properties with
a good working force. and their pros
poets for ore are most f1attering
DR.. Franklin, the big mogu1 of the
Yosemite No. l. was out from the city
viewing the condition of affairs at the
mine a couple of days this week. He
informed the Bulletin that work moves
steadily and encouragingly along in all
parts of the No. 1, and good ore is
being extracted.
Mr.. A. Gebhardt, owner of the Phoe-
nix mining properties, was out from
Salt Lake on Thursday looking after
said properties, which are said to be
getting better and showing up more
ore as development work progresses. A
strike so great as to astonish some peo-
pie very much, is reported to have been
made on the Phoenix ground only a
few days ago.
