NATIVE FOUND
HAWIAPS METEOR

Purser-Conkling, of the Inter-Island
steamer Mauna Loa, brought news to
Honolulu yesterday to the effect that
the meteor which crossed over the is
land of Hawaii, or at least part of it,
fell into the timber belt of Kau, and
that it had been seen by a native
named Kailimai. From the meager de-
scription of the meteor which the ma
tive gave, it is estimated it weighs
about ton. Purser Conkling received
a telephone message from w. P. Fem
nell, of Punaluu. just before the Mauna
Loa left Kailua on Friday.
Mr. Fennell said that the native had
told him of the finding of the meteor,
but that he was unable to go close to
1t. as II was still in heated condition.
He had taken only a superficial eye
measurement of the aerolite and
thought it was about four feet high
and five feet in diameter at the base.

THE LADY, THE VAC,

(From Thursdays Daily.)

I
| A vagrant fell into the net of Detect
i've McDufie yesterday, and thereby
hangs something Of tale. The va
grant, Juan Castro by name is a Porto
Rican, and looks the part. 1t seems that
there is lady in the case. Also, a
watch. There Is this connection be-
tween the lady and the watch, that the
lady accused him of having. well, to put
1t mildly, appropriated that bit of per-
sonal property from her possessions.
Now. 1t developed that Juan did really
have the watch-or, rather, that he had
concealed it under certain black
stand where he could recover 1t at leis-
ure, when the thing blew over" In
this case 1t was the lady who did the
blowing, with the result that the police
set the machinery of detection in mo-
ton. And then several things were de-
tected. Among other things, 1t was
found that the watch did not belong to
the lady. either. 1t was the property of
a certain gentleman of color, who did
not at all know where it had gone, but
who will doubtless be charmed to re-
cover his property. AS to Juan, the va
grancy charge goes. for the present.
There may be contingencies in the flu

Salt, Lake Plant of line American
Smeldng and Refining Company

An important feature Of the mining
Industry is that Of smelling. or the
extraction Of metallic values from ores.
This department has made progress,
i'm recent years, fully equal to that at
tanned by the operators Of mines.
The smelling plant owned by the
American Smelling & Refining COM
Dany and located at Murray, eight
miles south of salt Lake. is the larg-
est smelter in the state and the only
one in Utah, or the intermoUntain re-
giorA that handles bearing and
silveg and gold ores. All the other
smelbers in this territory confne their
operations to the reduction of ores car
ryiDg copper mainly and incidentally
gold an silver. the product being either
I'm the form of copper matte or pig
copper. The refining process. or the
separation Of the different metallic con-
tents Cne from another is done in all
cases at refneries east Of the Rocky
range. Unlike mining. smelling is a
permanent business. THe life of
mine is Known TO be usually uncertain,
and at times decidedly too much so:
but q. srn elter IS supported by the unit
ed production Of many mines. as they
come and 90. so that when a smelter
IS built # is intended to be lasting and
as permanent as the mining industry
itself. IT is a responsible and expensive
business and requires the united ef-
forts Of a vast outlay Of capital and
Of the best men to be obtained with
experience in smelter work. In the
magnitude Of it's operations, the va
riety Of the material TO be handled and
the number Of laborers employed it is
fully as complex as g modern circus,
with the difficulties being greater on
the part of the smeIter manager. In
stead Of giving two shows day for
limited part of the year, like the cir

continuous every hour Of every day

At this rate of production in but a
comparatively short time the indebted
ness incurred in acquiring and develop
ing these properties and in erecting the
smeiter will have been expUnged and
the foundation viii have been COM
pleted for furnishing dividends to the
investors who have contributed to the
undertaking. The smelteT is one of the
most complete and well arranged con-

ore values from the Bingham property
are characteristic IF that camp, to say
the least; while in many instances
values far above the ordinary are
found. The extent Of their underground
workings is estimated at about twenty
miles. The possibilities Of this ground
are beyond computation. But a small
part Of this territory has as vet been

One OF the most important Utah min
ing concerns, on account Of the acreage
owned, the vastness of its ore bodies
and the successful operation of its own
smelter. is the United States Mining
company. Its mines are located at
Bingham and in the Tintic district.

tiOn. The product Of the Smelter IS
copper bullion. The Bingham holdings
are probably the largest in that camp.
or for that matter, in the entire state.
The mineralized possessions include
LOO acres Of patented ground and $50
acres on which patent has not yet been
obtained. The mine, or rather the
mines, include the Old Jordan and the
Old Telegraph and a large interest in
the Niagara Mining company which
are among the earliest mineral lOca-
tiOns in Utah, and which form the nU-
cleus Of the great mining property that
has been acquired contiguous to them
III addition the company owns the
Centennial Eureka at Tintic, which has
produced large values iE copper and is
now, from all appearances, entering
upon an era of prosperity even beyond
that which has been experienced in the
past. The Bingham PROPERTIES are To-
Gated at the head Of Bingham canyon,
from which the ores are conducted from
the mine over an aerial tramway OF a
combined length Of $1,000 feet. The
buckets used have q CAPACITY of nine
cubic feet. and their contents weigh
nearly one ton. The Old Telegraph
head house is 1900 feet from the rAil1
way station. and from this head house

An unusually large undertaking, even
in these times Of gigantic mining enter
prises. is the acquisition of a large tract
OF ground Of merit that has been proved
and the erection Of a concentration

the camp of Bingham, by the Utah
Copper company.
These transactions have all come to

FIRST SHELTER BUILT IN BINGHAM

The Tampa is the first smelter to be
erected in the great copper camp Of
Bingham. Its operation has just begun
with a product Of copper matte. 1t is
owned by the Tintic Mining & Develop
ment company, also owner Of the Yam
pa mine, situated two miles farther up
Bingham canyon next to the Highland
Boy. and is connected with the smelter
by the Copper Belt railway.
The smelter is on the east side Of the
