BINGHAM CoPPER & GOLD co.
Road to Mines Completed-Another
Stack to Be Fired Up.


Stack to Be Fired Up.
Superintendent w. S. Hall of the
pew Copper Belt railroad. from Bing-
ham 10 the mines Of the Bingham Gold
< Copper company, announced yester-
day that the road had practically been
completed. The rails are laid the en-
tire distance, and yesterday the COM
pany hauled the first car of ore direct
from the bins at the mine TO the ter
minus of the road at Bingham, where
1t was delivered TO the Rio Grande to
complete the haul to the smelter. The
road viii not be in shape to handle the
entire output until tie latter end of
the coming week, as il is necessary to
do a little more ballasting at certain
points before trains can run at full
speed. This work, however Will not
delay regular shipments. The road as
IT stands is a wonderful piece of en-
gineeIing work, and the three miles of
track make numerous sharp curves in
order TO reach its destination. 1t was
also learned that in the near future
the company may build several miles
farther in order TO reach more of the
mines in that vicinity.
Colonel Hebron of the Bingham Gold
& COrper Mining company stated that
the output at the present time was
about 200 tons q day, which, with the
aid of the new compressor, just in
stalled. would be increased to the full
capacity of the smelter. The Telluride
Power & Transmission company had
me contract to furnish power for the
compressor and was at present at work
constructing a. new line to the mine,
which would ne completed in short
time. After that the mine could fur
nish all the mineral required.
The smelter now being in position
to get al the ere required, viii prob
ably blow in another stack at once,
and before many days the entire COM
binatiOns of the Bingham Gold & Cop
per company, including railroad, mine
and smelter, viii be working full ca
pacity.
J. A Coram, president of the com
pany, who arrived from Boston on
Friday, accompanied by o. p. Posey
and O. E. Weller. made a trip to the
smelter Yesterday and VIII take run

SHELTER TRUST IN TROUBLE.
Stockholders Are Trying to Prevent
Absorption of Guggenheims.

New York, Feb. IA temporary in
I junction was served today on the Off
! GERS of the American Smelling & Rein
! ing company who were present at the
oompany's meeting in Jersey City, re-
+ straining them from increasing the cap
] itai stock. The injunction viii be ar
gUed next Tuesday before Vice. Chan
/ cellOr Stevens. The officers of the COM
pany desired to increase the capital
stock in order to take in the Guggen-
helm refinery.
The complaint on which the tempo
rary injunction was issued, alleged that
the American Smelling & Refining COM
pany had no surplus or working capital
on Jan. I, 1901, and that instead, that on
said date. its capital was actually and
I to considerable extent impaired. 1t
is also alleged in the complaint that the
Guggenheim property is not worth more
than 0000, 600 and that the purchase is
proposed to be made an issue of new
stock of the American Smelling & Re
filming company TO the extent of $4,000,
600 on a basis of so per cent for the
preferred and so per cent for the COM
mon stock. 1t is also declared in the
complaint that the proposed purchase
would establish complete monopoly in
I the business Of smelling and refining
gold and silver ores in the United
States and Mexico and would therefore
be subjected to an the penalties which
are prescribed by the statutes of the
United States against trusts and mo-
nOpOlies. AffidaVits are attached to the
complaint in support of the allegations
made.
The meeti q at which the injunction
was served was a spe Ial one called for
| the purpose of increasing the capital
stock of the company from S65, 600, 600 to
S100.000.000 No business at all had been
/ transacted when the injunction was
presented and the meeting took a re
cess until later in the day. The restrain
ing order was obtained in behalf of S.
White & Co, holders of 400 shares of
common and fifty shares Of preferred
stock; William II. Curtis, owner OF 600
shares; A. SartOrius, holder of 500
shares, and William DOnneHy and
Henry Zeimann. owner of 100 shares
each. The hearing on the injunction
viii be held in Newark
According to a statement made by
the stockholders nothing was done at
the afternoon meeting. It is reported
that lawyers are securing the state try
/ ing to get some other Vice-chanceIIor
to vacaJe the injunction granted by

MINING OPERATOR SUICIDES.
Colonel W. T. Hart Jumped Into the
Snake River and Was Drowned.

Snake River and Was Drowned.
Boise, Ida. Feb. 16-ColoneI w.
Thomas Hart committed suicide this
morning by jumping from a freight
train into the Snake river while the
train was crossing a bridge near Hunt
ington. Colonel Hart was one of the
most widely known mining men and
promoters in the northwest He was
formerly connected with the Bimetallic
properties at PhilipsbuTg, Mont. Re
Gently he had been interested in the
Seven Devils camp and had been pro-
noting q railway to run into that sec
ton. He was about SIS years old, a ma
tive of Georgia and an eX-cOnfederate
colonel. His body has not yet been
found
Colonel Hart sent a letter to friend
in Weiser before taking the train, in
which he said:
y Will commit suicide as the morn
ing freight crosses the railroad bridge
Destroy my papers.
Dependency was undoubtedly the
cause. He had smelter and a rail-
road scheme on and had just come from
Salt Lake, where he received news that
ne could not secure the necessary cap
ital. Colonel Hart was well known in
all the mining camps Of the west. He
was closely connected with the o. r. &
=. railroad, for which he had done con-
siderable work.

that when the boy gave them to him

At the station Parnel declared that

Washington. Jan. s1.-Dr. William q.

station at Baton Rouge, La. testified
before the Industrial commit sion upon
the Agricultural interest Of Louisiana.
He said that In recent years the condi-
ton Of the farmer hAd materially Inn
proved and there u u disposition thru-
out the state to embe1Iish the home. He
said that the experiment stations have
proved very beneficial TO the industries
OF his state by developing methods
which have brought the farmer out Of
the primitive condition III which he ex-
listed several years ago. The public
school system in Louisiana, he said, IL
not adapted to any agricultural inter-
lests and in his opinion, agricultural and;
natural science should be added to the
course Of study. He said there were
fewer good roads In Louisiana than In
almost any other state Of the union, be-
cause Of the alluvial condition Of its
soil and the absence Of material with,
which to construct roads. He said that
the construction Of the Nicaragua canal
e favored by the agricultural interests
OF Louisiana.
