A NEW PRODUCER ON THE LIST.
The bingham Copper Company to
Begin Regular Ore Shipments.

President Q. H. Hardy, president of
the Bingham Copper company, return
ed from the company's Bingham mines
yesterday.
Mr.. Hardy informs The Herald that
thetmine viii begin regular ore ship
ments next Monday and that within a
month it is expected that the property
will make regular shipments of a car
load {; day The mine has been well
opened and large bodies of ore are
blceked out ready for stopping and
ASoping. Considerable time and money
mas been expended in getting this prop
erty in shape The workings are well
ventilated by a Rogers patent air venti-
lator; ore bins have been erected and
now everything is in readiness for con-
tinued ore shipments.
Mr.. w. A. Germaine. who is also
interested in this property, as well as
in mines in Idaho, accompanied Mr.
Hardy on his Bingham trip, and he re-
turns very enthusiastic over what he
saw there, and is very emphatic in his
assertions that Bingham is one Of the
greatest mining camps that he ever
saw.

AN ARIZONA GOLD PROPERTY.
Will Pay Off the National Debt
When it Gets a Mill.

W. ]. Schoield, of Nephi, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Schof1eld has just
returned from a prospecting expedition
In the White Hills, Mojave county, Ari-
iona, and while there secured and par
tally developed gold proposition that
is nine-days' wonder. The ore is a
free milling quartz and shows gold all
through it, from flour gold up to the
size of a kernel of wheat, and with a
five-stamp mill Mr.. Schofield claims
that he can clean up $1,000 a day:
and also that he has enough ore in
sight to feed such a mill continuously
for three years. 1t is his intention to
erect a mill on the property, and his
visit to this city is to secure aid for
this purpose. Mr.. Senior of restaurant
fame. has made Mr.. .Schofield a pro-
position to put in a mill for a one
fourth interest in the property, but
this offer was rejected. The mill was
to cost 50, 500, but Mr.. Schofeld believes
that he can get what he wants without
parting with SO much of his valuable
holdings.
This fall Mr. Schofield shipped ten
tons of this ore to Pueblo, fifty miles
of this distance being d wagon haul.
but returns from the shipment melted
him $500 over all expenses. Mr.. 5. Will
return to the city on the 18th, when he
will probably conSummate deal, as
several parties are after him.

The Mechanics mine was sold and
the hrst payment of money made on
that date. The purchase of the valu-
able property were E. H. Dikey and
John McNlel. of Salt Lake city. The
price paid was $4,000. The Mechanics
mine has long been looked upon by To-
cal residents as one of the most prom

immense and it pays from the grass

consolidated Wifdman and Maaloney

these properties. 1t is understood that

Four years ago a. great deal of ex-
element was caused in this city and
IN mining circles throughout the terri
tory by the announcement that gold
ore had been found on Indian creek in
Beaver county, and for awhile there
was a rush to that locality that has
only been eclipsed by the De Lamar
Nevada, furore and the effort since
made to get in on the ground floor in
Camp Floyd district.
Prospectors fiocked over the hills
there by the scores and location stakes
and monuments covered each other I'M
tif there was hardly room in which to
stick a pick. Mining speculation was
above par, and for awhile the district
enjoyed a veritable boom.
The principal property in the district
was and still is the Rob Roy, and it's
discovery was mere accident, caused
by a washout along the banks of In
dian creek, which uncovered the apex
of large body of ore at place where
no one but the greenest of tenderfeet
Tlauld have looked for ore. The mine
in this property lies between two
we'll defined walls, the ore body being
about six feet thick and showing free
gold in places.
The Rob Roy was at first owned and
operated by a minister and several
farmers, who purchased a second hand
mill from somewhere in Nevada. This
was moved to the mine, and it was
then that the troubles of the Rob Roy
owners began, as the mill was a fail
IRE as far as the treatment of the Rob
Roy ores was concerned. The own
ers of the mine were in debt; litigation
followed and in course of time the
mine passed into the control of P. T
FarnSworth, superintendent of the
Horn Silver mine at Frisco. and one
of the most successful mining men in
the west.
Since that date the property has been
worked at intervals, but nothing trans
pired to create a stir in the district I'M
Ill a short time ago, when the small
force at work in the mine cut through
what was supposed to be the hanging
waN and broke into a ten-foot body of
ore that averaged so to the ton in
gold, and it now transpires that the
first workings of the mine were not
in the true vein, but that it was only
in highly mineralized debris filed with
quartz. No one is allowed to enter
the mine while Mr.. Farnsworth is alb
sent in the east, but upon his return
1t is confidently believed that details
concerning the new strike will be
forthcoming.

SALE OF cHRYsrAL INNING STOCK
A New Deal in Valuable Marys-
vale Property.


A few days ago a stock deal was
made which may mean much toward
the development of one of the most

district, being nothing less than the
sale of 10000 shares of the stock of the
Ch,ystal Mining company to Mr.. Webb
vice-president of the New York Cen
trail raj. )ad, and son-in-law Of Van
oerbilt.
The Chrystal is located in Cotton
wtod canyon. south of Marysvale. and
is one of the bert developed mines in
the district, notwithstanding the fact
that but one or two shipments have
been made from there.
A large amount of tunnel work has
been done in this mine, and an ore
body four feet wide has been blocked
out until it is estimated that at the
present time over $4,000 tons of ore
are exposed which will carry a value
of Sc in gold, so ounces silver and 43 per
cent. lead to the ton.

at an early day on the property, and

NEWS FROM THE BuTLER-pEck.
The Tunnel in the Tennessee in n
Nice Body of Ore.

Nice Body of Ore.
Parties in from the Butler-Beck, in
the Baldy mountains, report that the
tunnel on the Tennessee claim is now in
a distance OF 250 feet, and the vein has
wldened out until it is thirteen feet in
width. They have started a shaft at
the further end of the tunnel which
they intend sinking $50 feet this winter
They are down now about thirty feet
in this shaft and the vein appears to
widen as they go down. They have
also run stope up on the vein some
twenty or thirty feet and it appears to
retain the same width as it did in the
tunnel. This demonstrates the fact that
they have a much larger body of ore
than they first expected, and the vein
matter improves in value as they go in
and open it up AS this ore body nears
the end of the tunnel it runs from s2s
to $50 to the ton, mill test A million
dollars can be easily figured up as in
sight. This promises to be one of the
greatest gold properties in Utah.
