supplied with Mueller s patent dppll-
ance for saving mineral IL flames. is
another feature that may be added.
MIR. Mueller is giving personal atten-
ton to the work nov beginning. Dur
ing the past three months himself and
associates have been quietly promoting
this enterprise, and, having tested nu-
Tnerous samples of the Bingham ore at
the works in Butte, are proceeding with
entire confidence as to the outcome.
Work or the site for the plant was
begun Monday, with q force of a dozen
men, and it will be running next week.
An average of six to seven cars of
ore are leaving Bingham depot daily,
and we understand shipments at Lead
mill are active.
The May Queen, operated by Bemis
and klopenstine, sent down 20 tons this
month, the first ore to come from that
property in a long time.
The Julia Dean is showing strong in
dications of soon giving up another
body of the rich ruby silver for which
that property is noted.
The Old Jordan and Galena shipped
LOO tons during the first Is days of
December, and keeping up the daIly
average will make this the banner
month of the year.
There were nearly a dozen of trans
fers of West Mountain district min
ing property during the week ending
Dec. II, and some will prove OIL I'M
portance as the claims conveyed are
now under control of parties who will
develop them.
Colonel E. A. Wall was up from the
city Saturday on business in connec-
ton with his Charles Reade and Dick
Macintosh copper claims in the main
canyon. If he decides to begin devel-
opment on them in the spring it will be
another lift for the copper belt.
no Of he
electric company this week our report
er learned that poles were being dis
tributed for the line to bring power into
Bingham. Manager Lamson intends TO
have the power plant ready for service
at an early date, and mill men and
others intending to use the company's
product can lay plans accordingly.
Superintendent Teachenor of the
Liberal is running a deep tunnel to tap
the vein rs feet below the workings of
| the MonteZuma mine, across the gulch
and on the same vein. AS he is both
cred with water it will be of special
advantage for drainage. The tunnel is
now in 30 feet and will reach the vein
at about 200 feet. There is little doubt
that it will run into a fine body of ore
At the Red Wing last Monday Stopping
was begun in the upper tunnel, and an
! eight to ten-inch streak is giving up
handsome product, from which a ship
ment will probably be made before the
close of the month. The ore is all
right, as shown by two assays obtained
this week, which gave returns of 731
per cent lead and 1915 ounces silver,
and SO per cent lead and 2040 ounces
silver, respectively.
THE ROMAN AND THE PALMER.
R. S. Guiliani having last week con-
veyed to w. c. Hall, the Salt Lake at
/ md mir hi int in,
the Roman and Palmer claims, the
/ property is now likely to be extensive
ly developed in connection with the
Jubilee group, adjacent. The Palmer
! is showing an immense and promising
vein, opened by a tunnel, which was
! started at the footwall and run 200
feet, and the hanging wall is still
! mystery. The Jubilee group consists
of the Jubilee Marion, Monte Carlo
J Ben Sur and X-Rays claims, and is to
! be intersected by what is known as the
/ Jubilee tunnel, in Bailey's gulch, a
small feeder to the main canyon in
/ upper Bingham. An extension of this
! tunnel 125 feet is under contract to
! John Nelson and very promising re-
! ports are coming from the work. It is
ultimately to intersect the Roman and
Palmer and viii strike the big vein at
several hundred feet depth. Many as
says of the ledge matter, showing from
trace to $50 in gold, have been OBJ
| tanned. The ore contains iron, "copper"
gold and silver. What is said to be an
average test from the tunnel bottom
ran 81 in gold. eight ounces silver and
| AZ per cent copper. Since the sale
was closed Mr.. Guiliani has expressed
! to our reporter his belief that the Ro-
man and Palmer viii yet figure among
! Bingham's most important mines, and
! deeply regretted the circumstances
1 which compelled him to relinquish
/ them.
DIPS AND SPURS.
Tom Mayne is hauling 25-ton lot
/ from the Peabody.
a 20-ton shipment went from the
! Summit mine this week.
This week q 50-ton shipment from
the Phoenix was completed, and an
other lot is now coming down
! Indications are that the Highland
Boy shipments Of crude ore win reach
nearly 500 tons during December.
The Washington, a new property
near the Frisco being developed BY
Ike Bevel & Co., showed up the other
day with 12-ton shipment. ard is said
/ 20 have strong symptoms of becoming a
! good mine.
