property and extensive plans for the
( next twelve months are being mapped
out.
The Bingham Consolidated company

merciaI group and during the past two
months at least ], 600. 900 tons have been

7.000-fOOt tunnel which is being driven
TO drain and furnish permanent out

Lark property, has passed the 5000
foot mark on its way to a connection
with the three great veins opened

st. Joe's Development.
Another enterprise in the camp de-
serving special mention is the opera
tons of the st. Joe Mining company,
which owns a large area of fine min
ed States company's Old Telegraph
mine. Work is being steadily pushed
in a big operating tunnel that will be
driven through the group a distance
OF 1000 feet to the lines dividing il
from the Old Telegraph. 1t is now in
a distance of LOO feet and the open
ing of the first vein in the ground is
scheduled to take place at any time
now.
In the near vicinity are the proper
ties of the Silver Shield and United
Bingham companies. While work is
progressing in the upper workings of
the latter and considerable fine ore is
being sent to market an extensive plan
of campaign, having for its purpose the
development of DOth mines at great
depth. has been fnaugurated in the
| United States company's long Niagara
tunnel. This avenue has been
equipped with steel rails, large min
ing cars, an electric locomotive cleo
trio light, etc, and power drills are
employed in pushing the face toward
Silver Shield territory. As soon as the
Shield vein is tapped it is expected that
the upper workings in that mine Will
| become drained and then, as in the case
of its neighbOr, the United BinghaTk.
the marketing of ores from above can
be resumed. The future Of these prop
critics is full of promise.
/ O1Q mines Com 01ned.
Adjoining the Highland Boy on the
south are.the old Frisco Morning Star
and ZelnOra mines, recently acquired
and made to form the basis Of the
Bingham New Haven company
Though this happened less than three
months ago. the company has been at
work for some time pushing the old
Frisco tunnel to a connection with the
Highland Boys main vein Fine build
ings for the accommodation of the
men, and a compressor Tlant with
which to supply the tunnel with air
and furnish the energy for the big
drills, have been erected and installed,
and, under the management of J. II.
Benedict, the work is being crowded
with all possible speed Another year
should and undoubtedly Will bring
these properties into the producing
list
Under the skilfuI direction Of J. B.
iGTaylOr, who never leaves his post on
any pretext, the properties of the
Binghe n Copper Boy. west Of the
HIGH, I'd Boy, are rapidly being con-
verted into a big producing propO-
sitiOn- Fine bodies of lead-silVer ore
are now being opened up and the lower
tunnel is being steadily driven ahead
/ to a connection with the cOpper-g gold
vein. This tunnel is now in a dis
| lance of 600 feet and it is calculated
that another 100 feet will carry the
face into the copper ledge The COM
pany is comprised of Boston talent,
mostly and Investigations by their
representatives during the past few
} months have been very gratifying TO
the shareholders.
Highland Boy Company's Record
The Highland Boy Consolidated is
another property that has made good
? record during the year. It's main Oper-
) ating tunnel is now in a distance Of
1900 feet. During the past month
: Manager Smith encountered the ledge
= and fine body of lead-silver ore, car
? rying values in copper and gold as
well, is now being opened up. The
t future of this proposition is no longer
/ in doubt.
The Bazouk Consolidated company's
5 property, wedging into the United
' States company's vast domain on the
5 southeast side, is being steadily opened
under the management OF a. Van
I Patten of ogden, with every indica-
I Iion that its career as a good producer
2 is near at hand
Early in the fall the Petro company
encountered fine copper ores underly-
ing the Iead-silver ores, at a depth Of
7 ! 500 feet. Considerable ore Of the char
: acters named has been marketed dur
: ing the year and with the adjustment
: | of differences between II and one Of its
, neighbors, a period OF heavy produc-
. | ton is promised.
. The Ben Butler company has made
? an enviable record during the year, all
: things considered. In addition to do
a ing a great amount of dead work neces-
n STATED by the litigation between il and
. the Liberal an immense amount OF
h first class and milling ore has been
r mined and marketed The company
n ends the year with several thousands
e of dollars in the treasury and not a
: single cents indebtedness
n This brief resume OF the camps
j. progress during the year gives but the
70 faintest kind Of an idea Of the Won
& derful strides made. Many other prop
: critics have been steadily worked dur
T ing the past twelve months and there
d is the strongest kind of ground for
e believing that numerous mines not
n enumerated viii contribute largely TO
e the camps production during the year
