The Sale of the Old Stewart No. 2
Mine

Mine
The Bingham Bulletin, in its weekly
mining review says:
The transfer of the Stewart no, 2
mine to parties represented by Messrs.
Weir and BEETLES of the Highland Boy
is Il transaction of much Importance,
as through that celebrated OLD prop
erty farther systematic exploration OF
BinGhams great copper belt Will now
speedily take place In years gone by
Il large tonnage of silicious gold-bear-
ing carbonate ore was taken from near
the surface on the hill and when its
character changed to sulphide at water
level production was discontinued
Work is now beginning in the newly
acquired ground in the shape of tun-
mel started near the base of the hill and
which we understand will run nearly
500 feet below the old workings Sam
pies of the sulphide tested by Austin
Il. BemiS carried 4 fraction over 10 per
cent copper, So in gold and about w
ounces silver per ton, and there is lit
tie doubt that large bodies Of pay min
eral will soon be encountered. Inc
Stewart No. ? and contiguous proper
ties are without question on a continu-
alton of the biz vein of the Highland
Boy, and for all the development yet
done, may prove as valuable as that
property.
From the beginning of deeper work
on the Stewart No 2 and neiGhborlnG
grounds dates q decidedly strengthen
ing of chances that wide fame for
Bingham's copper belt is close at hand.
The only wonder is that it has been re-
served until this late day for a COM
pany with plenty of capital to explore
ground which has better surface indi-
cations than have ever been found in
the copper regions of Montana,
DIPS AND SPURS.
Several carloads of Dalton & Lark
and Fortune ore were shipped from
LeadmiII this week
The new Starlus company will start
work on a deep tunnel as soon as sur
vey is completed.
Ore is said to be coming from the
Highland Boy that runs as high as
$10027 in gold
Assays from the late strike at the
Lone Trae, near Frisco. show A ounces
silver and 81 per cent lead
NJ. Gibbons is this week shipping
couple of carloads from the Rough and
Ready, the first in some months.
A halt occurred at the Highland Boy
mill this week while new screens bet
ter adapted to the ore were being put
in.
There ig talk of putting a hoist on the
Antelope mine to be used Jointly by
that property and the Wasateh, con-
nected by drift.
The Storey has large tonnage Of
second class out and in sight, which
will begin to move as soon as arrange
ments can be made for milling it.
John Nelson has the contract for
rUaning a 125-foot tunnel on the Jubi-
lee group, consisting of the Jubilee.
Marion Monte Carlo and x Rays.
The new hoist for the Giant Chief
viii be in place in about three weeks.
Operations are now much retarded ow
ing to lightness of present machinery
At the Zelnora, now under manage
ment of Superintendent Benedict, the
other day q copper mixed ore was bro
ken into which is said to carry 100
ounces silver.
A large amount Of surveying is being
done in West Mountain district this
fail, and some of it is preliminary to
the starting up OF old properties that
have long been idle,
Should half dozen of the idle old
time producers be started up this fall
with capital sufficient to develop and
work them properly and prohtably,
Bingham would soon merge into a more
prosperous era than It has ever known.
DR.. Brewster, manager of the Giant
Chief, came in from Evanston yester-
day. The property has just finished
shipping several carloads of concen-
trates from the Rogers mill. and we
understand it is to be operated for act
i've production from now on
@. r. Boutwell,, interested in the Pc
trO. was in camp last Monday and ac-
companied 10y H n. Standish inspected
Cottonwood canyon with the view of
building q road from Carr fork to the
Cottonwood outlet of the mine. It viii
cut of one-third of the hauling dis
lance to the depot, as compared with
the York hill route.
