Possibility of Great Combine at
Bingham,
COVERS A WIDE RANGE
THIS Is an ERA OF MAMMOTH
ENTERPRISES.
Not Unlikely That Next Spring Will
Be Developed Scheme That Will
Make Other Heavy Propositions
Seem Small-Big Indian Deal Has
Been Declared Of.

It may turn out differently. but there
is a strong undercurrent of opinion in
mining circles in this city that a move
is on foot looking to the purchase and
consolidation of a stretch of mining
ground in Bingham which will equal
or surpass in extent the holdings Of the
United States company, the Boston
Consolidated or the Highland Boy. The
move. il is said, will be made on the
east side of the district and take in
everything from the Extra Session
group on the north TO the Butterfield
possessions on the south and lying east
of the properties of the United States,
Boston Consolidated, Wall and Starless
groups.
The undertaking would involve ac-
ton on the part of mighty big scheme
promoters. but after seeing the work
performed by the men who so success
fully launched the gigantic concerns
now operating in the district, it is not
hard to believe that an undertaking of
the magnitude outlined above may be
undertaken and successfully accom-
plished. This is an era of big schemes
in the mining world, and Bingham is a
favored spot, so no one need be greatly
surprised to hear, in the near future,
that the task of bringing under one

The Bingham Tunnel company's great
tunnel is fast approaching the section
described, and within another year or
so that entire belt can be drained
through that avenue. which would also
provide an ideal outlet for the ores. At
any rate, men with keen scent and
good judgment are looking for the I'M
folding of some big plans relative 10 the
development of that part of Bingham,
and some declare that the ''cat will out

The Disabled Pump About Ready to
Start Again.
(Specia; Corresponden!

Especial Correspondence
Silver City, Oct. 22.-Just as every
thing was progressing so nicely at the
Shoebridge-Bonanz under the intelli-
gent and faithful energies of Superin-
tendent Carruthers, an accident occur
red which disabled the pump for sew
eral days and, as the water flow is ex-
cessive, all development work has been
put aside until the pump is repaired,
which will be in a daJ or so.
Mr.. Carruthers has been lifting and
sacking some very nice looking lead ore
lately, mostly coming from the 400 and
$50 levels, together with a lot of jigging
dirt, which evidently will make first
class concentration. Two hand jlgs have
been erected on the premises, with a
view of working certain portions of the
old dump. The writer found several
pieces of extremely rich "copper" lead
and silver ore in the old alleged waste
piles.
1t has become generally known that
the day of the disaster at the Rabbits
Foot the ore chute had materially in
creased in size, and the continuity had
been conclusively defined from the $50
level on downward. The awful force of
the blow, together with the consequent
physical incapacity, has temporarily
given Superintendent McGhan a set
back, but all work will be resumed at
once.

If the predictions of astronomers
prove to be correct, the heavens on the
evenings of the 14th and 18th of No
vember will present an inspiring and
dazzling display of meteors. Astron-
omers are looking forward to the event
with great interest, and many prepar-
atoms are being made in the observa-
tories of the world with a view to Sc
curing more complete knowledge of
these periodical phenomena By means
of careful telescope observations and
elaborate Photographic records to be
made in various locations, it is hoped
that we may learn many new things
about these strange celestial visitors
from the unknown realms of space into
the atmosphere of the planet on which
we live. No such display as is expected
in November has been seen since 1866.
In view of this amazing natural phe-
nomenon, the following article will
prove particularly interesting. 1t was
prepared especially for this paper by J.

SALE OF MINNIE MOORE.
Some History of the Mine and Salt
Lakers Connected With Tt.

Fridays Wood River Times has the
following concerning the sale of the old
Minnie Moore mine: Negotiations
having resulted in the conditional sale
of the mine and which the new owners
are capitalists of Spokane Falls and
of Montreal, Canada. They have order
ed $4,000 worth of new hosting ma
chinery, and intend to use the Queen
of the Hills mill, which they own.
Their manager is expected to arrive
tomorrow, and to begin active opera
tions Immediately.
'As the Relief and Michigan, which
adjoin, are on the same Vein, the pur-
chasers of the Minnie Moore mine and
the Queen Of the Hills machinery de-
sired to purchase them. John @.
Packard of Utah, who owns them, was
approached on the subject, but he re-
fused to sell.
The Minnie Moore has been the
most interesting of the Wood River
mines. in various ways. a gopher
hole bordered with chips of galena
was its discovery. On breaking the
unpromising lime-encrusted surface
rock it was found to be pure galena
There was a thickness of four feet of
IL. In one day two men with pick and
shovel dug away the shale and soft lime
from the galena, leaving a. solid metal
wall four feet thick. ten feet deep, and
ten feet long exposed. The mine was
named for a daughter of the then
postmaster Of Salt Lake, who had
grubstaked the discoverer. H. Z. Miller
bought an interest in it soon after dis
covery. EX-United States Marshal
Shaughnessy also became an owner, as
did several others. After years of
fruitless efforts it was sold to an
English company of which Granville
W. Palmer, one of the directors of the
bank of England, was a member. The
price was stated as half million dol

and coming in the fail of the year. He
prophesied that the next return would
be seen Nov. 1874, 1866. The shower
came as was predicted.
A Description of a Shower.
Sir Robert S. Ball Of England has
described his view as follows:

absent. The meteors We're distin-

was about 10 o'clock at night when an
exclamation from an attendant, by my
side made me look UP from the tele-
scope, just in time to see a fine meteor
dash across the sky. 1t was presently
followed by another, and then again
by others in two and threes, which
showed that the prediction of a great
shower was likely to be verified. AT
this time the Earl of Rose 'fthen Lord
Oxmantown) joined me at the tele-
scope, and, after a brief interval, we
decided to cease our observations of
the nebula and ascend to the top of
the wall of the great telescope, from
whence a clear view of the whole
hemisphere of the heavens could be
obtained. There for the next two or
three hours we witnessed a spectacle

BIG INDIAN DEAL OFF.
Mine Said to Be Looking Better Than
Ever.

The news comes from Moab that the
negotiations for the transfer of the
Big Indian copper property to an east
ern syndicate have been terminated
owing to the refusal Of the owners to
grant the would-be purchasers an ex-
tension Of time. The Grand Valley
Times says the reason why the extern
sion was not granted is that the tores-
ent owners have steadily pushed de-
veiopment work the past summer while
negotiations have been pending and
nave just struck the largest body and
highest grade of ore yet found in the
property. making it more valuable
than ever, consequently they were not
anxious for the negotiations that have
been going, to result in sale on the
terms agreed upon
