The Bulletin dishes up the weeks
/ mining news for Bingham as follows:
| 1t is understood that Mr.. De Lamar
will visit Bingham shortly after ad-
! iournment of the Mining congress, on
! business connected with the recent test
/ of Dick Macintosh ore, and that steps
may soon be taken looking to the cree
/ ton of extensive reduction works in
connection with the Macintosh group
and a number of copper properties
/ lately placed under option. A fact now
/ generally known is that the result of
/ the test is highly satisfactory, and if
] the project is not adyanced by Mr.. De
! Lamar it will not be because his trusted
agents deem the inducement INSULT
cient. Yesterday the statement was
made by a party in a position to speak
/ intelligently that should Mr.. De La
mars business engagements prevent
! him from promoting this enterprise,
| combination of capitalists abundantly
/ able to put it on its feet will take hold
of it at an early day. Great interest is
expressed in mining circles informed
as to the result of Mr.. -Cohen's recent
Investigations.
An experimental trial of the Swan
Bemis mill was made yesterday. There
were the usual stoppages to tighten
belts and adjust machinery, but last
evening everything was working fine
as a fiddle" except the elevator, which
it will be necessary to speed up. The
ore treated was a low grade lot from
the Old Spanish. Concentrates are
handsome and beyond doubt will show
excellent work. Mr.. BeniS said last
evening that he was highly pleased
with results. He plans that everything
will be in order to begin regular bust
ness on the 5th. For the present, oper-
atoms will be confined to one shift,
treating about 60 tons daily. Ulti-
mately another set of rolls and another
Witty. will be added, when it is be-.
lieved that the plant will do as nearly
perfect work as is possible by any
combination of concentrating appar-
atus.
The marked advance of Dalton &
Lark stock Wednesday, as compared
with quotations of the past year, is
doubtless due to the resumption of
heavy operations now beginning at the
mines. The management announces
that dividends will be resumed this
fall, and it would seem that the state
ment may be received with confidence.
There will soon be large force of men
al work, while the improved market
insures a larger net income for the
company than it had during its former
dividendpayiEg period.
Speaking of the fine showing of cop
per WHICH Idle developments nave MADE
in the Winnebago mine, the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal thinks
it is Of more than ordinary moment as
showing the continuation of the Bing-
ham copper belt to the east. The Win
nebago exposes a well marked pyritic
copper zone, varying from two to four
feet in thickness, and opened for 40
feet. 1t lies near the top of the eastern
ridge of main Bingham, and is under
lease to William Eckman & Co.
The engineers are busily locating the |
line of the Highland Boy railroad, and
have completed the work from the mine |
to a point in Markham gulch-nearly |
half way Engineer Duncan is of the |
opinion that it will be ready for con-
struction within four weeks. All doubt |
as to the decision Of the Highland Boy |
management to build the road seems to |
be removed, and that graders will be
throwing dirt in August on the line
being completed, there is little doubt.
