THE MINES OF BINGHAM.
Mining Items of Interest Culled From
the Bulletin.

/ Work on the Old Jordan & Galena
cyanide mill is being pushed ahead
rapidly.
/ Heaston Bros. yesterday began haul
+ ing Julia Dean second class to theil
water power-jigs.
/ Several engineering outfits arrived
/ from the city yesterday and are busy
with surveys in various localities.
/ The Montezuma has just made a 90
ton shipment of first-class ore, which
was taken from the drift at the bottom
of the shaft, 80 feet below tunnel level
The Red Wing lower tunnel is now
in about 800 feet and the contractors
are pushing work vigorously. They ex-
pect to strike an ore body at any
time.
A corps of experts are expected here
about this time from Butte, Mont, to
examine some of the extensive copper
ore bodies known to exist in this dis
trict
Robert Gorlinski this week completed
several mineral surveys in the main
canyon for Hazelgrove e. CO., begun
last week and suspended on account of
the storm.
We have sub rosa information of
very important mining projects which
mean much for Bingham. If they are
put in motion a large sum of money
will be invested in mines, development
and reduction works.
The payroll of the Highland Boy has
been temporarily reduced to about So
men. The company is making some
highly important changes in its plans,
and will soon be operating on a largely
increased scale.
The Niagara company is continuing
shipments of about ten tons of galena
daily from the Spanish mine. Late de-
velopments indicate an indefinite pro-
duction from the bonanza ore body
opened last winter.
The 150-foot level of the Starlus is
now in 80 feet and being pushed ahead
as fast as possible. Last week little
water was encountered, but not suffi-
cient to impede the work. The whole
face of the drift is in low grade ore.
The Swan-Bemis concentration is fast
approaching completion. Ore bins are
being built and road to them graded.
There is little doubt that the plant will
be ready to run by the LIST, 1t will be-
gin with number of good contracts.
superintendent Talbot OF the Frisco
will return from Salt Lake on Monday.
1t is understood that a meeting of the
board of directors of the Frisco, to be
held in "a few days, will be favorable to
sinking the main shaft another 100 feet.
Manager Gebhardt of the Phoenix
was up from the hub yesterday and
visited the mine. he reports II looking
well, and anticipates making a consid-
cradle output this summer. At present
there are two outfits working leases in
the Phoenix.
There is some prospect that work
will shortly be resumed on the Crown
Point the promising copper property
at the mouth of Carr Fork, from which
several shipments were made last year.
and ON which work was abandoned on
account of water.
The Last Chance company is said
to have struck a much better grade of
ore in the Hooper mine, and better re-
suits are looked for in the near future
It's concentrating mill is one Of the most
complete in the district and does ex-
cellent work.
Harry Joseph, interested in the Mark
ham group, says the project to run
deep tunnel to tap that and other prop
critics is by no means abandoned, and
thinks that a beginning will be made
on it this fall. The interested parties
have too many irons in the fire at
present.
The Phoenix has resumed raising
from the lower level, and is in a big
body of ore, which will furnish plenty
of business this summer for the new
Bemis concentration besides yielding a
good tonnage of first class for ship
ment. New lessees are also beginning
work on the York hill bonanza
Manager Clays was in the city Mon
