Thomas Weir of the Highland Boy at
Bingham states that everything is pro-
crossing finely and most satisfactorily
in the operation of the mine and mill.
The company is shipping heavily of its
copper ore, and yesterday settled for
60-ton consignment. No more cyanides
from the mill will be shipped in the fu-
ture, as the product of the plant is now
being reduced to bullion at the mill,
and a melt will be made next week
This is a new departure with users of
the cyanide process in Utah, although
the Mercur companies have tried to re-
duce their cyanides to bullion, but with
Indifferent success. At the Highland
Boy, however, no difficulty is exper-
fenced in melting, and it is found that
q saving is thereby entailed.
