| Nothing new has been planned for the
| United States company's Bingham
ground, but development work will be
| pushed along with great deal of vigor.
| The ore blocked out will be treated at
| the new smelter later on. Although the
| United States and Centennial-E Eureka
companies are owned by the same
| crowd, they will be operated separately.
| The new officers of the Centennial
Eureka are Edward A. Clark presi-
| dent; G. A. Coolidge. vice president; f.
w. Batchelder secretary; Charles H
| Cole, Jr., treasurer; A F. Holden man.
| aging director, with c. E. Allen. general
| superintendent. The new issue of Cen
| tennial-Eureka stock has been placed
on the Boston stock market and was
quoted few days ago at $34 and $35 a
| share.
The first important discoveries of
| mines in Utah were made by soldiers
| under General Conner, who established
the military post at Fort Douglas, east
of Salt Lake City. in 1868. His men
| were the discoverers Of Bingham
| Stockton, Little Cottonwood and other
camps in Utah, and they also found
mines at Phoebe, New. The most i'm
portant mining districts of the Wasatch
are at those places, where the noun
| tains are highest and most massive
| where the granite has uplfted the
quartzites and limestones and in the
later porphyries have intruded the sedi-
mentary rocks.
The Mining and Scientific Press says
that power losses on an electric trans
mission plant are calculated as follows:
Steam engine friction, 10 per cent: loss
| in betting between engine and genera
tor, per cent loss in generator, 10 per
cent: Qoss in the conductor depends on
its strength, thickness, care in placing,
| etc, but may be from 10 per cent to 90
per cent?; loss in motors may vary from
10 per cent to IS per cent. The total
efficiency may thus be figured at So per
cent, but may be increased to IS per
cent if the distance is short and the in
| stallation made with care.
The Salt Lake Herald says that the
| richest car of ore ever produced in The
| Statelne district was sold recently to
| ". r. Jones & Co. The ore came from
the Johnny mine. owned by N. P.
Dolly, c. o. Newell. Clarence Robinson,
| Mastin Clay and j. G. Brown. The car
was made up partly with first-class ore,
which. it is learned from reliable
sources. netted the owners $2.460 to the

Ont of the largest mills in either Ore
Son or Washington will commence ope-

Cougar mine, Grant county, Oregon.
The mill has a capacity of $50 tons per
day. and the cyanide process will ex-

| w. A. Otis & Co. have purchased the
Twin Sisters claim on Raven hill. Colo
RADIO, for $40, 900. The claim adjoins the
! Rather and has been steady shipper
| for some time. The Twin Sisters Gold
Mining company will be reorganiZed
with this claim as their property. A. P.

Together with the above named w. A.
| Otis and j. c. Connors form the direc-
| torate.
Cripple Greek is facing the problem
Of overproduction. That is to say, there
is more ore in the camp to-day than
can be hauled out, for the patent rea-
son that the smelters are calling on
the railroads to let up on hauling ore
| u TIE various Hills over the eldle, De-
| cause their plants cannot handle it.
| The two railroads leading out Of Grip
pie Creek have therefore slowed up a
bit on ore transportation,
A model of Palmer mountain, show
| ing the famous tunnel is in display at
the Spokane mineral exhibition. The
model will be nine feet by nine on the
base and the position of all the claims
| is shown. The tunnel is said to be in
1900 feet and so straight that per-
son at its face can see daylight through
it's mouth 1t cuts large number of
veins claimed to be rich enough to pay
for working.
The Philadelphia Reduction
| works at Colorado City is making a
| number of improvements. When the
! improvements are completed 400 tons
| per day can be treated at the big plant
Heavier machinery is being installed
and the new boiler and number Of gas
| generators will all be in shape within
the next go days.
Tombstone, Ariz., which has been
about as near dead lately as any town
| ever ought to get. is said to show signs
| Of decided revival. Eastern capitalists
| are taking an interest in some of the
old properties, and the cyanide process
| is being brought into play in the treat
1nent of the ores and tailings.
The Daly-West mill at Park City,
| Utah. is being enlarged to accommodate
extra slime tables, ano the old smoke
| stack of the Ontario mill is being
| taken down to be replaced by a new
| one. Everything indicates an early re-
sumption of operations at the last
named MILL
The foundations have been laid for
a new copper smelter at St. George, in
| Washington county, Utah. 1t is for the
| Dixie mine and will have a capacity of
so tons of ore a day.
