BIG DEAL IN BINGHAM.
The Mast Group of Mines Absorbed
BY the Copper Company.

The Mast Group of Mines Absorbed
BY the Copper Company.
The Bingham Copper company, with
general Offices at 2O8-9 Atlas block, in
this city, closed deal yesterday with
eastern parties for the purchase OF the
.Old Reliable" Mast Mining and Mill
ing companys entire holdings at Bing-
ham, consisting of six claims named
the Mast, Benton, Cold Leaf, Red cross,
Mayberry and Smuggler, and all inn
provements, buildings, etc, on the prop
critics.
The purchase of this rich property by
the Bingham C5pper company gives the
company one of the best groups of
mines in Utah as the Mast Mining and
Milling company's mines have already
produced over 100000 and paid over
100000 in dividends to date, and
shipment of 10 tons of high grade ore
from this property was made last week
from the upper workings, and the push
ing management have already placed
a large force of first-class miners in
both the lower and upper portions OF
the mine, and large shipments of high
grade ore will commence Immediately.
The purchase of this valuable prop
erty by the Bingham Copper company
places their stock in class "A to say
nothing of their big copper mines, con-
sisting of ten claims in the heart of
Bingham, on which $500 feet of de-
velopment work has been done, where
by rich copper mine has been opened
up and large bodies of ore blocked out
which will receive treatment as soon as
the new electric company get their
power into Bingham, which will be III
about thirty days.
The Bingham Copper company was
organized and promoted by O. B.
Hardy in November last. since which
time the company has spared no pains
or expense in securing the best mineral
ground in Bingham.
The management of the company Is
in f1rst-class hands. w. e. Jermatne,
who is president and assistant general
manager, has a good, clean record as d
mining man in Montana and Idaho,
while Mr. Hardy, the vice-president
and general manager, is a rustler and
an expert mining and milling man,
having had twenty years experience in
California, Oregon and Washington,
where he developed some very rich
properties, and he appreciates the fact
that Bingham mines have a great flu
ture. A. B. Miller, the secretary and
treasurer of the company, is one OF Salt
Lakes reliable business men.
The company is only incorporated for
100000 shares, the par value CT which
is IS per share. and with the rich prop
erty as a feeder the stock will I'M
doubtedly soon be paying dividends to
its lucky holders.

THE VANDERBILT NINE.
Excellent Report from this Famous
OId-Time Producer.

Excellent Report from this Famous
OId-Time Producer.
Isaac Jennings, one of the directors
of the Vanderbilt Mining company of
this city, now operating the old Star
group of mines at HALEY, Idaho, who is
making an inspection of the property,
writes that it is making an excellent
showing, and that, in his opinion, it
will not be long now before the COM
pany can begin the payment of divi-
bends.
Mr.. Jennings, in a letter received by
the company yesterday, states that in
the left hand drift of the main level
there is eighteen inches of high grade
steel galena ore, and that besides this
the full face of the drift is in good mill
ing ore.
On the lower level a twelve-inch body
of ore has been uncovered that leads to
the footwaH CT the vein and under the
body of ore that the Old leasers of the
mine were working when they took out
$50 600 in very short time.
In the lower workings a drift is being
driven from the shaft to get under the
upper workings, where the company is
now extracting ore from the eighteen
inch ledge of high-grade rock. The drift
will cut this ore at depth OF 100 feet,
and it is expected that the connection
viii be made within g week.
Mr.. Jennings has been taking meas
urements and making surveys since his
visit to the mine, and he finds that the
front ledge has a dip of forty-eight
feet from a vertical line in going

When DR.. G. w Shores made this an
nouncement for the first time he little
thought how quickly the people would
grasp the significance of the plan. and
had no idea that such multitudes would
take advantage of it.
1t has become so popular and the de-
mands upon the Doctors time SO great
that he has found it necessary to recall
his talented and capable assistant, DR.. n.
u. Estes, to the home office at once to aid
in caring for. and administering to, the
enormous crowds of eager patients that
daily throng his Office.
The people will remember DR.. Estes as
the popular and efficient physician who
assisted Doctor Shores in lions Medical
Institute last year, and will welcome him
home again.
DR.. Estes, it will be remembered. has a
brilliant professional record. Graduating
from Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
of New York City, with high honors, he
came west, and learning of the great
merit of DIR. G.. W. Shores famous sys-
etm of disease treatment, he allied him
self with this famous physician and has
since perfected himself in that system and
has gained d fame second only to Doctor
Shores himself.
The people will be gratified that DR.. G.
W. Shores has such an able assistant in

Word was received Friday night via
telephone from Eureka that new and
important discovery had been made in
the Centennial-Eurek mine, consist
ing of an ore body in the old Centen-
NAL chute, about 500 feet below the
surface, that. from a general average
taken from breast OF mineral six by
six feet, shows a value of 1886 ounces
silver and $3.50 in gold to the ton
This good news, coming rather I'M
expectedly, caused considerable COM
motion among Centennial-Eureka Of
ficials and stockholders in this city
yesterday. and to say that they felt
very much elated would be putting it
mild, as the foreman of the mine in
formed Messrs. Chisholm and Kendall
that from all indications the deposit
was a permanent one and that it
would undoubtedly increase in size as
development work progressed; and not
only may the company feel jubilant
over such a showing, but it might be
we'll TO state also that every citizen of
Utah who has the welfare of our state
at heart has reason to feel proud that
within its environments it possesses a
mine that can hold it's own with any
producer on ne Pacific slope, especial
~ when it cores to q. showdown of
ore running over 81, $50 in gold and sill
yer TO the ton.
The new discovery above mentioned
is located about thirty feet below the
spot where some time ago the com
pany took out some very rich silver
ore that carried from $50 to $40 in
gold to the ton, and for some months
now the company has been operating
on large ore bodies in this bonanza
property, the general average values of
which were from 81 ounces in silver
and S32 in gold to IS ounces in silver
and SO in gold to the ton.
During the winter months the com
pany always employs an extra force in
sinking and as spring approaches and
the roads become good, the force is
taken off, and in compliance with this
custom the number of miners was re-
duced last week, while the regular
contingent is now employed in ore eX-
traction.
In sinking during the winter the
LOO level was cut as stated eXclu-
sively in these columns, exposing large
bodies of high-grade ore, containing
considerable copper and as work pro-
crosses the new discoveries continue
to grow, until there can be no doubt
as TO the permanence and continuity
of the ore bodies OF this magnificent
producer.

dend of 81 per share, aggregating $780,

mine up to 81 $50 900. This company,
besides its regularly monthly divi-
dend. pays a regular extra dividend of
81 month, making 81 a share month

eighty-five feet, while vein No. has
only seven in going the same depth,
which demonstrates the fact that in
driving the lower drift the company
will have to go forty feet further than
at first anticipated, which distance will
be soon overcome, however, as with
three shifts the workings are being
pushed at the rate Of five feet daily in
hard lime.
The company is now extracting ore
from two places in the mine, and as
soon as the lower drift connects with
the ore body for which it is now being
driven the property will be trans
formed into a regular and heavy ship
per of rich ore, while the mammoth
bodies OF low-grade mineral will be
lnilIed at the mine.
Yesterday a telegram was received
from Mr.. Jennings stating that a
twenty-ton shipment of high grade
steel galena would be made this week
Wednesday.
The officers and directors of the Van
derbilt Mining company are as follows:
Isaac Bruckback, president; Thomas
Winter, vice-president; Elias Morris,
treasurer; A. G. Giaque, secretary;
Isaac Jennings and Jesse w. Fox.
The Times, of HALEY, Ida, in speak
ing of this property, says:
1.-THE strike in the Vanderbilt group
of mines, eight or ten days ago, is
opening up splendidly. The workings
now show width of twenty inches OF
first-class steel galena ore, Which is
richer than any ever found in the mine.
'The Vanderbilt it is more and more
evident, will prove to be one of our
leading mines"
After its trials and disappointments,
the Vanderbilt company is to be con-
graduated over the fact that it can
now see light ahead.

A GREAT SHOWING OF ORE.
Nothing Slow or shabby About the
Radiant Northern Light.

The Northern Light mine on Lion
hill. in Ophir Mining district, has ac-
CURED more or less fame during the
last twenty years, but principally as a
rich silver producer, and in this direc-
ton it has done it's share in contribut-
ing to the wealth of the world, as
stacks of shipping receipts and control
assays viii testify: but it was not un-
Ill a short time ago that its value as
gold producer began to be appreciated
by mining operators of this city; but
when it finally became known that be-
low the upper workings of this old sill
Yer bonanza there existed unbounded
deposits of low grade ores, running
well in the yellow metal, steps were
Immediately taken to obtain possession
by purchase of this valuable property;
and this would have been almost inn
possible had il not been that the
owners for a long time had been in
VOWED in litigation. which seemingly
could only be settled by the sale of the
property
The contamination of this sale, ex-
elusive mention of which was made in
The Herald a few weeks ago, resulted
in the organization of a very strong
company for its operation and develop
men and within a short time now it
is expected that the company known
as the Northern Light Mining and Mill
ing company, will erect a mill for the
treatment of the large bodies of low
grade gold ores already blocked out in
the mine. and that il will also make
shipments of the high grade mineral. of
which good-sized deposits are now ex-
posed in this property.

BUTTE, Mont, March 14-It was
stated today by one of the attorneys for
the attaching creditors of the Butte and

perty would undoubtedly be sold to sat
isfy the bonds and attachments and
that there would not be a cent left for
the stockholders. The mortgage bonds
and floating Indebtedness aggregate 3d.

accrued interest. The company is CAPT
talized for 100000 shares at par value of
SIS per share. A great deal of the stock
is held by laboring men, clerks and ser
want girls IN Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, and they will lose their in
vestments.
I'm six months, said the attorney
quoted. the stock will not be worth 2
cents per share The company is to be
reorganized as soon as the property has
been sold under the foreclosure. The re-
ceivers will not attempt to operate the
property while in their charge. The noted
Davis estate holds 10000 shares of stock
in the company but they are tied up in
the Massachusetts courts.
