BINGHAM BULLETIN NOTES.
Descriptive write-Up of Clipper Hill
Properties.

SO much has been lately said of the
sion may have been conveyed that they
include all the promising mineral pros
poets of the Clipper Hill country, in
which they are located. Such is ao-
the fact. as is well known to Bingham's
old residents. Time was when the
Clipper mine, lying on the Tooele side
of the hill, was a prominent feature of
the camp. 1t was discovered in the
seventies. and with the aid of a steam
hoist an incline shaft was put down 900
feet. over $4,000 worth of ore was
in gold and 600 in silver per ton The
owners died. and the property went TO
decay. 1t was subsequently relocated,
but itlmped last summer because of in
sufficient assessment work. The Clip
per workings are nearly obliterared by
caving. Parties who know the ground
say ii had only begun TO produce when
abandoned. and that when properly re-
opened will prove a good mine.
The Argentine group. on the Tooele
side and operated by Ulrich K, McKer-
nan for the Argentine company, has
crosscut tunnel in 900 feet, at about $50
feet depth. and it is to be continued coo
feet farther to catch the main vein.
Five veins or spurs were encountered
in its course, but no drifting has been
done. There was some time ago talk
of a combination TO extend this tunnel
through the hill. a distance of 5000
feet, which would give the Argentine
and properties on the Carr fork side
the great advantage of a deep tunnel
outlet.
The Photograph group. one of the
claims of which is supposed TO be an
extension of the old Clipper, has a
shaft 100 feet deep with a finch streak
OF ore from the surface down that as
says 81 per cent lead, So gold and u to
is ounces silver. 1t was worked last
year under bond and lease by parties
now at Mercur, whom we understand

Campbell as superintendent of the
Last Chance mine and mill.
c. II. Roberts is operating a lease on
the Tiawaukee and getting out some
promising looking ore.
Work on the Highland Boy mill is
progressing finely and meeting the ex-
pectations of Contractor Dederich.
Yesterday the Northern Chief COM
pleted shipments of 10 tons of crude ore
and 10 tons concentrates from the
Rogers mill.
Parties interested in the Mammoth
near the Dalton & Lark are talking of
putting in q cyanide plant in connec-
ton with that property.
Billy Norman and partners have the
contract for sinking the Winnamucl1
incline 120 feet and will begin work as

probably within ten days.
Shipments have been fair so far this
month about 2,610 tons of ore having
left the depot, but prospects for keep
ing up the average are not fiattering.
Very few small shippers in sight.
Odin & Anderson have made about
% tons of concentrates at the Heaston
jigs from ore from their Black Dog
lease. 1t is a promising lookin glot.
and if good returns are obtained will
be followed by a steady output from
the mine this summer. 1t is showing
good bodies of similar ore.
Colonel Hebron is increasing the ca
pacity of the Niagara cyanide mill,
and his operations viii be much more
important than last season. He is
blazing away for others TO follow which
will lead TO a new phase in the record
of Bingham's great industry. There
is in the locality. cropping from many
claims, an immense tonnage of the ore
which he is treating so successfully.
The enlarged mill is said to be handling
nearly 80 tons per day

Activity in Mercur Real Estate.

There have been several deals in
Mercur property during the past week,

an Improvement in the camp H f.

Examination as TO McCord.

Washington, June 19.-The senate
committee On territories today
continued it's investigation of the
charges against NJ. Fl. McCord. nominee
for governor of Arizona. R. S Gardner,
the Indian inspector whose affidavit
charged Mr.. McCord with an effort to
bride him, was present and upon ex-
animation stated that what he con-
strued into an effort at bribery had
taken place in 1890 in connection with
the location of an Indian school at
Merrill. Wis. He said that he had
reached the point of an actual offer of
bribery, but that he had construed
what was said to be meaning that an
offer of $4,000 was to be made to him
TO influence his Recommendation.
Mr.. McCOrd was examined and stated
that he had had no such cOnversati ton
as that referred to by Mr.. Gardner.

THE MINING EXCHANGE.
The Week Winds Up With Business
Slack in Mining Stocks.

But little business was transacted on
the floor of the Mining Exchange yes
terday and mining shares We're dull
and inactive.
In the listed stocks the board sus-
tanned a whitewash and as a general
thing the bears got in their deadly
work in great shape.
Bullion-Beck suffered losses in the
offerings. although it was firm in the
bidding at the old figures. Geyser
was steady. but was neglected, al
though on the curb there has been an
active demand for this security during
the past week. Mercur was also weak
in the bidding, but the holders would
make no concessions and the stock
closed strong in the asking. Mammoth
was able to obtain its recent advance
fairly well and in the offerings an adj
vance was noted. Geyser- Marion was
in the asking. No change was no
ticeable in Northern Light, which was
stationary at the quotations of the
previous day.
There was more activity in the. I'M
listed stocks, but the transfers were
confined to low-priced securities. Little
Pitisburg, Richmond & Anaconda and
Hercules being the favOrftes in this
class. Swansea was unchanged, While
South Swansea was firm at the bid
ding figures of the day before and was
held for a raise in the offerings. Sac
ramento was practically unchanged.
The past week on the floor of the
exchange has been remarkably dull
and the trading INDUCED in was light.
The daily calls have been almost fea-
tureless with the exception that strong
advances have been made during this
period by Mercur and Mammoth. Gey-
ser and Geyser- Marion, while quiet on
the board, have disclosed great
strength on the street. Swansea,
South Swansea, while inactive, have
been able TO maintain quotations. but
noted no advances. Northern Light
has figured somewhat in the dealings,
but has had some difficulty in main
tanning quotations.
