The Bingham Bulletin gives the fol-
lowing account of operations at the
Old Reliable:
President w. Z. Germaine and Man
ager Q. B. Hardy of the Bingham Cop
per company were in camp Tuesday
and busy throughout the day adjust
ing the company's affairs, which were
somewhat dragging owing to Colonel
Hardys extended eastern trip The
result Of their coming will be an i'm
mediate stimulation of operations on
the Mast and StaTlus properties The
former viii be a regular and consider
abe shipper from now on, while in the
StarluS the body of gold ore lately en-
countered is to be opened up It's de-
Velopment will be noted with interest
as it was broken into after sinking
through many feet of sulphuretted
iron, and is believed to furnish the
first instance in Bingham Of oxides I'M
derlying sulphurettes. The latest as
says Of the ore gave high returns in
gold.
1t is limited here and there that a
number of important mine transfers
are on foot.
The output at the Dalton and Lark
for July will show q material increase
over June-largely frst-class ore.
The last number Of the Intermoun-
tain Mining Review gave an interest
ing article on the Old Telegraph mine
This is pay day for the employees of
the Bingham Copper company, and a
considerable sum will be disbursed.
The success of the silver cause this
fail is not likely to have an important
Immediate effect on the white metal
market. Yet it may.
The Harrison No. 2, in Silver Hill
gulch, is making siXty-ton shipment
this week. 1t has opened up a large
body of Gre, and regular shipments
will probably follow.
Several outfits having slowed down
temporarily, the total output for July
will probably show a falling off as COM
pared with June. Some of the mines
now nearly idle will put on full forces
about the first Of August and it is like
~ to be q busy month.
The presence of c. A Rolker, the
noted English expert, at the Dalton
and Lark mine is cause for some spec
ulation as to the probable object. A
result of his or any other intelligent OBJ
servation, if duly reported, will be to
strengthen the company's stock. Re
cent developments have defined large
bodies of high grade ore.
The Lone Tree tunnel, in which
work was resumed a fortnight ago, is
now in forty feet and has cut a twelve
foot vein, with a mixture of lead car
Donate and gold quartz. There is fifty
feet more TO run TO strike the main
vein, and it is believed q rich ore chute
will be encountered. The Lone Tree
side lines the noted Frisco mine, and
fifteen years ago produced ore which
sold for 500 per ton.
The Conglomerate Mining company,
which succeeds the late old Telegraph
company, as we are informed, is COM
posed Of G. Lava gnino, some Of the
members of the old company and Colo
RADIO parties. II takes its name from
the fact that the new outfit pooled
Colorado property with the Telegraph.
1t continues to be under the manage
ment of Mr.. Lavagnio who holds a.
long lease on the Telegraph, and the
policy heretofore governing the work
ing operations will not be materially
changed for the present
A twelve-ton lot Of ore was gotten
down from the Red Wing this week.
1t is very handsome and will yield a
good return. A recent assay was re-
ported to show 60 per cent copper. The
shipment was decided upon owing to
the fact that the ore now coming out
is changing in character, but even
richer, and it was deemed desirable
to clear the ore bin. The Red Wing
tunnel is in about seventy feet and
shows an inconstant pay streak which
switches frequently from a few inches
to between one and two feet in
width.
