United States Company Putting In
Large Compressors.

The United States Mining company is
preparing to execute work on a large
scale in its big Bingham properties.
Will c. Higgins of the Mining Review
visited the camp a couple of days this
week, during which time he devoted his
attention to the general condition of
things, noting the progress of develop
ment. The United States company is
putting II an air compressor at the Old
Jordan x Galena mine, to be used in
generating power for the steam drills,
which will also be utilized for ventila-
ton purposes in the underground work.
ings. a connection will be made with
the Old Telegraph mine, mile and a
quarter away. A pipe line is being con-
structed between the two properties, to
furnish power for the drilling machin-
cry at the Old Telegraph.
The consolidated properties of the
United States company form a group
two and half miles long by a half
mile in width, being located in the very
best mineraliZed portion of the camp,
of which the Old Jordan mine alone is
accredited with gross output of over
S21, 900, 900.
This is a marvellous record, when it
is considered that adj the ore was eX-
tracted above the 200 level. The ore
blocked out in the mine is enormous.
The bodies of copper sulphideS are al
most beyond computation, to say Moth
ing of the immense deposits of silver
lead ores and great zones of oXidized
gold ores.

COPPER KING INCORPORATED.
Promising Morgan County Property
To Be Developed.
Especial Correspondence

Coalyille. Utah, June Articles OF
incorporation for the Copper King Min
ing company were filed with the county
clerk of Summit county yesterday.
The incorporators are ]. II. Stallings of
Silver City, Utah; w. II. Croft OF Peter
son, Morgan county, Utah; G. Y Bull
lock. Frank Croft and George Beard of
Coalville, Utah. The officers of the
company are: ]. II. Stallings. presl-
dent: G.. Y. Bullock, vice president
Frank Croft. secretary and treasurer,
who, with w. II. Croft and George
Beard, form the directory.
The capital stock is placed at $780,
600. divided into 100000 shares at the
par value of % cents each, 100000
shares being set aside as a working
capital.
The property is located in the Nor
gan mining district in Morgan county,
Utah. and is composed of the following
named mining claims: The Copper
King, the Copper King Extension, the
Copper Queen and the Copper Cloud.
Surface indications show fine samples
of high-grade copper. mixed with ma
tive silver. A contract has been let to
sink to a depth of fifty feet from the
bottom of the present shaft, which is
now in about twenty feet. Already
they have about a ton of very fine ore
sacked. and the vein, now about
eighteen inches, is rapidly increasing
in dimensions. The holders believe
they have a veritable copper bonanza.
and every indication seems to point
that way. Many people are interested
i'm that section, and the whole country
for miles around is located 1t is pre-
dicted that there will be booming
mining camp there in the very near
future.

Mammoth. June S.-B- NJ. Cornish,
superintendent of the Una Constfi-

in the character of the rock at the bot

Der of small mineral stringers or feed

which is west of the Shaftway, pre-
sumably about fifteen or twenty feet.
Before the end of the week the working
force will be directed to cut the vein,
which is an immense quartz ledge,
varying from twenty to thirty feet in
width, from which point drift north
on the vein will be run to a point be-
meath the tremendous blowout surface

opinion of Mr.. Jennings, even greater

Since Mr.. Jones is one of the largest
owners and manager OF the Park
Swansea Extension Mining company,
and the ground in question is situated
as described in the notices inviting

Swansea people propose inaugurating
a lively campaign of search for the

Diamond, June Am accident oc-
CURED yesterday forenoon at the Mid

rington miraculously escaped serious
and possibly fatal injuries. Topman
Moon, usually regarded as a very cool
headed and careful workman, failed to
discover in time TO avert the accident,
that the rope mark indicating the
depth and stopping point, had been
pushed back by coming in contact with
a portion of the gallows frame.
While Moon was watching the cable
unreel from the drum and momentar-
lily expecting to see the mark appear,
the first intimation he had that some
thing was wrong. was when he saw
the rope slack and coil on the shaft

face and striking him violently on the

That the systematic and aggressive

to be in readiness to handle the out
put of its mines, and as the undertake

plans. specifications for the works, ma
chinery. etc; and with that end in
view, Manager Neil will shortly take
up the task OF working out the details.
The United States company has been
making no particular noise since it be-

REPORT EXAGGERATED.
Joe Bowers Extension Has Two
Inches of Fine Ore.

1t is currently reported that the Joe
Bowers Extension folks have struck a
nice vein of copper ore at the 400 level
Of that mine. One of the workmen in
the mine told gentleman coming up
from TIntic that the whole face of the
drift was in ore that would run il per
cent copper. +. A Druehl, one of the
directors of the company, says the re-
port is greatly exaggerated; that there
are only two inches of ore that will
carry such values. This, he says, is
very encouraging to the company, and
they consider that it will surely lead
TO something of big proportions.
