very efficient practical mining super
intendent in the person of j. c. Dugan,
with stockholders residing in the camp
and vicinity, the officials in control OF
affairs, pursuing the watchful and
conservative policy inaugurated at the
start, believe in a personal cognizance
of affairs at frequent periods Mr..
Tucker while at the mines will CAREFUL

the stockholders, the exact condition

specifications in hand for the style OF
plant it is expected to build in the near

arrangements looking to the installation
of such a plant as soon as same shall
be deemed a necessity
The company now has in the aggre-
gate nearly mile of tunnel work in
it's properties, with several shafts and
wines, and it has exposed to date
many thousands of dollars of low
grade, or concentrating ore, as it is
known among mining men. Quite

covered, but the larger body, or, in
other words, the main vein or lode,
upon which is situated the Highland

It is the unanimous opinion of the |
board of directors of the Bingham &
Eastern Copper Mining company, as
well as of all the stockholders who
have kept posted as to the splendid |
progress made since active development
work began, that this company's prop
critics will soon be in the list of profit
able shippers of copper ore. In this
opinion they are not alone, having the
backing of the opinions of a large
number of mining men of national re-
pute. IT ought to be gratifying to the
resident in New Haven
and vicinity that this company was
not only fortunate enough to secure a
splendid property in the beginning,
but that it has been able to success

Begin they will be continuous, and div
