BINGHAM c. AND G. COMPANY.

Near the head of the list of import

camp are the Developments progress
ing at the Commercial mines of the
Bingham Copper & Gold company. This
corporation acquired the Commercial

than year ago. Active work was be-

now making a remarkable showing. and
IN a few weeks the erection of a $50
ton smeiter to treat its ores will begin.

length, is being constructed to the
mouth OF the Commercial long tunnel

workings and be the general outlet.
Also negotiations are pending for the
construction of a bucket tramway three
miles in length from the mouth of this
outlet TO the site of the Bingham tun-
neb where 1T is proposed to locate the
commercials smeiter. This scheme has
great advantages, as Manager f. G.
Lamson of the Bingham Tunnel COM

and enter into a contract to deliver
commercial ore to the snelter, $50 tons
daily, at the rate of % cents per ton.

The high copper value may not prove
permanent, but there is reason to an

main vein at deep tunnel Level. as above
1t has increased with depth.
All in all. the Bingham Copper &
Gold company's prospects seem bright,
and it will have a smelter in operation
by midsummer next year without a
doubt. Manager II. G.. Heffron states
that Colonel o. P. Posey, at the head
of the company's affairs. intends to
place all orders for machinery with as
little delay as possible.
DALTON & LARK.
A few weeks ago the Dalton & Lark
mines were brought into special notice
by the forfeiture of an option obtained
by New York parties to purchase
majority of its stock, after they had
expended a large sum in development
work. The terms of the proposed pur-
chase were that it would be consum-
mated if. on further opening of lower
workings, the ore compared favorably
in quantity and value to that in the
upper levels. When the bond expired,
owing to imperfect pumping facilities
the work they engaged to do was not
nearly completed. An extension of
time was asked. which Manager Jerry
Schenck declined to grant. he then re-

ten-drill power, and another being put

and with the new and old compressors

at the same time. Thus very large
amount of development work can be
daily accomplished, and it is difficult
to form an estimate of what will be the
extent of the winters operations.

and United States companies are the

of development work done the past
year and Importance Of results.
The Boston, with fifty flour claims &C.
cupying $40 acres, has conferred the bulk
of its operations on the old Stewards
and Copper Center claims. The latter,
as is well known, is practically through
out its length and breadth a quarry of
altered porphyry, carrying IA to %
per cent copper and small precious met
al values. Elaborate tests have shown
thio material to be a paying concen-
trating proposition, and. it is only a
question of opportunity when re6uc-
ton works of several hundred tons ca

The Stewart tunnels have also opened
up large areas of copper bearing ore of

and character becomes known.
Samuel Newhouse, intimately con-
nected with the Boston. stated recently
that the property had been sufficiently
developed to warrant the construction
of large smelter, and. one will posi-
lively be built as soon as he can divert
necessary attention from other import
ant mining operations in Colorado and
elsewhere. The Stewards will be as
noted copper producers as the Highland
Boy, while the possibilities of the Cop
per Center cannot be named at this
time.

twelve years. There is over 1000 feet
of development. and it is creditaSle TO
the property that every dollar of ex-
, pense of this work from grass roots has
been paid by its product. The lower
workings are giving up nice per cent
of copper. and some of the handsomest
and richest specimens of native copper
the camp has produced came from the
Fortune.
CoNGoR GROUP.
Next neighbor to the Fortune Is the
Congor group, consisting of eleven
claims II is being operated by an in-
corporated company, and all work the
past year has been for development.
The Congor ledge is in places forty feet

high precious metal values, but the
most important feature is high per-
centages in copper, in native black and
gray copper. The developments
include an incline on the vein $50 feet,
and a tunnel on the vein in about LOO
feet Practically all the workings are
in ore. mostly pay milling, but there are
streaks over two feet wide assaying 81
gold, 100 to 100 ounces silver and from
IL to 80 per cent copper. The Congor
directory is discussing the feasibility or
building a concentration, and next sum-
mer the mine will no doubt be mar
keting a large product.
Neighbors of the Congor are groups
owned by the Illinois and Copper Glance
companies. They are making good
showings and promise to become noted
as copper producers, having found ore
of as high percentage as that Of the
Congor and Fortune.
DE LAMAR-wALL GROUP.
Turning from Pine guIch to the main
canyon again, one of the most impor-
been designated as the De Lamar
Wall group. adjoining the Boston Con-
solidated northerly. 1t consists of a
large acreage, and, is the property Of
Colonel z. A. Wall. 1t is located most
ly on a mineralized porphyrys dyke, in
which copper deposits have replaced
disintegrated feldspar, and is virtually
vast quarry of ore con-
tanning millions of tons that
elaborate tests have demonstrated car
ries from 1 to 2.5 per cent in copper.
These tests were conducted first at the
old Markham mill last winter by H. A.
Cohen, then at the Rogers mill last
Summertime latter including sampling
by drilling TO several hundred feet in
depth. We are assured that the results
on the tests as a whole were of a most
satisfactory nature. as it was demon
strated that operating with concen-
traitor of say 500 tons capacity, there is
an almost limitless amount of material
that will pay handsomely. 1t is under
stood, however, that Captain De Lamar
failed to obtain a controlling interest
in the holdings, which Colonel Wall
was not disposed to relinquish, and
that the deal will soon be or is off That
a large concentration will at no distant
day be built in connection with this
proposition, is almost among the GER

Wavy Hair.

Most important in waving the hair
in the great undulations which are SO
popular for the pompadour effect just
at present is to make it look as natural
as possible. The point of difference
between naturally wavy hair and waves
created by the curling iron is that the
former undulate evenly and match all
over the head, no matter from what
part the hair be combed. The waves
fit into each other. The artificial
wavelets are all sizes, and jog at every
inch or so, showing an unevenness of
heat in the iron and no regard for
making ends fit together.
While it is not possible to perfectly
counterfeit nature, still, having deci-
ded upon the sort of coiffure desired,
the waves can be manufactured sur
prisingly even. The first lock having
been waved, all others must match it
in size and direction as if tho whole
head were waved in one impression of
the hot iron. This can be done ac-
curately by taking few hairs from
the first lock and combining it with
the second to measure the waves.
This must be continued all around
the first lock, and extend all around
the head. Only in this way eau
waved coilfure be made effective. The
iron must also be of even temperature
throughout the whole process, other
wise one wave will be tighter than an-
other. When properly done the most
simple arrangement is beautiful.

prophet of the Tarratines, who is the
son of a former chief, who, in turn,

whose Indian name is bright Eyes,"
is rather a pretty girl of eighteen, and
she leads the most luxurious life of any

the tribe, and also of the priests who
come to say mass in the chapel on In

Mercy who teach the dusky little chill
dren in the Indian school have put
the Princess through course that
would fit any but very stupid young
woman to shine in society.
Maud can speak the Abenaki tongue,

Indians of all Down East, in addition
to French and English. She can play
wsltzes on the piano and Catholic
hymns on the chapel organ; she can
work slippers of soft deer skin in the

Flounces and Fringes.

The spring gowns will be more silky
and lacy. Flounces embroidered and
scalloped will be much seen in silks
and woolens.
There is no question that the silk
fringe which was introduced last fall
will be further used, and the innu-
merable narrow silk fringes, both on
the edges of scarfs, draperies, Aounces
and small shoulder affairs, will have a
most broad use. These fringes will
vary from the merest suggestion of a
quarter of an inch on the ribbons
through the various widths and pro-
cesses of manufacture-simple, twist
ed, knotted and tinseled-to the very
widest depths, which will be used as
fronts and to finish the bottoms of
tabliers.
