BINGHAMs PRODUCT INCREASING.
"OId Reliable" is Now breaking Its
Record on All Metals.

''OId Reliable" is Now Breaking Its
Record on All Metals.
Bingham Bulletin: E. P. Stone and
partners, Iessees of the Black Dog
group, after three weeks work, have
opened a new body of ore on the Will
liams claim of said group. The new
find is a two-foot body of nice lead
carbonates, and they will proceed to
vigorously work it and extract ore
for shipment, and will employ help
as fast as the ground can be opened
to make room for more men.
Down, down goes the shaft on the
Antelope mine, and it will continue to
go down, so Mr.. Harrington, one OF
the owners, informs us, until the
connection is made with the Dalton u
Lark works. Ore is being taken out
only as is necessary in sinking the
shaft, but quite Il large tonnage has
accumulated on the dump Mr.. Har-
rington tells us that the property
looks fine.
Repairs, preparatory to putting on
a big force of men and operating the
property at it's full capacity, are be-
ing made at the York mine by the les
sees, Mr. Charles Watson and part
ners. This property, two or three
years ago, was one of the largest and
most regular producers in the camp,
and under its present management
will doubtless soon occupy its old po-
sition among Bingham shippers.
Everything is activity around the
Old Telegraph properties. A large
number of lessees are at work-all
taking out and shipping ore-and new
leases are being let right along.
Teams are kept busy so far, hauling
the products of the properties down
to the railroad for shipment, but
Standish & Jimpson have the branch
line OF their tramway about COM
pleted to the Old Telegraph ore bins,
and when it gets in operation 1t VIII
do away with the hauling by team.
Lessee Johnson, of the Frisco mine,
after having worked several months
on that property with little but indi-
cations to encourage him, has at last
been rewarded for his labor by the
opening up of a siX-inch streak OF
16O-ounce ore, and is now employing
his time extracting the precious treas
ure for shipment.
Contractor Bird, we are informed,
has added another producer TO his list,
having taken the contract to haul the
products of the Minnie mine, in Carr
Fork through to the smelterS by team.
The instance of a railroad allowing
wagons and teams to make better
rates and take hauling away from 1t,
is seldom heard of.
The operators of the Levant, one of
the gold properties at the head Of Carr
Fork, have placed and are now oper-
ating a gOld-WaShing apparatus on
LeVant ores. The machine is said TO
be working most satisfactorily
Dick and Ben Butler are quite jubll-
ant over the outlook of their mining
property in Markham gulch, which
they are now working. Indications for
ore are exceedingly good, and they are
expecting to strike it rich at any hour.
The pumps are kept steadily at work
night and day at the Yosemite No. l
mine, and have lowered the water in
the works to the 700-foot level thus far.
A force of men are at work on the
west end of the property extracting
ore.
Standish & Jimpsons tram cars are
all in use and the tramway is being
operated to its full capacity; besides,
their numerous wagons and teams are
kept on the go constantly. Verify,
each week brings increased activity in
our great gold camp.
1t is estimated by some who have
been keeping an eye on the mining af'
fairs of the camp that the shipments of
ore from Bingham the present month
will reach 5000 tons by railroad, and
about 100 by teams. Truly the output
of the "Old Reliable is steadily in
creasing.
The sturdy operators of the Rob Roy
mine at the head of Carr Fork gulch.
are pushing work on that property and
steadily taking out ore. We are in
formed that they recently opened a
pocket of ore carrying 500 ounces silver
TO the ton. This is but one of the
many valuable ore pockets that have
been cut at the head Of the Fork, and
it leads one to believe that the richest
mines in the district will yet be de-
veloped in that locality.
c. w. Peck, of the Parnell mine, re-
turned Thursday from a ten days visit
with his family in Salt Lake. He is
now directing work on the Parnell
which continues to yield up its valu-
able gold treasures in encouraging
quantities. Mr. Peck says he thinks
another shipment will be made next
week.
The mining recorder election resul.

Barney B. Quinn over his opponent
Mr.. John Brunton, the vote standing

This is the sixth time Judge Quinn has
been elected to the Office of recorder OF

certainly shows that the mine owners
Of the district have confidence in the
judge and think him the right man fol
