BINGHAM CONSOLIDATED MINES.
The Bingham Consolidated is one of
the largest and strongest cOrporati ons
operating In Bingham the territory
owned and controlled by It aggregat-
Ing more than 300 acres
The original corporation was the
Bingham Copper 6 Gold Mining COM
pany which acquired the old CONNER
clal, Old Hickory and Vernard claims
II was found that better results could
be obtained If more sulphide ores were
available, and, to accomplish this,

purchased In the spring OF 1901 aud

was organized.

OF their eXietcnce and Ike them the
ores changed with depth to copper. Bur
unlike them, some Of the mines were
opened by incline shafts instead OF
tunnels This was particularly true OF
the Dalton Lark, where a shaft was
run 20 the depth Of about 900 feet.
the Brooklyn shaft was dropped / .SOO
lect and the Lead mine TO 500 feet.
These workings were very wet and the
expense OF pumping enormous. During
the past two years, however.
this trouble has been overcome
by the completion Of a long
drain tunnel which, from ite
mouth TO the bottom Of the Dalton &.
Lark shaft, is about 5000 feet I'm length.

ores or the Dalton g. Lark and nearby
mines From the mouth of the tunnel

pany's smelter at Bingham Junction.
Inc mines of the Bingham Consoli
dated are shipping about 400 tons daily
IRON its bingham properties. The
Commercial mine is contributing $50
tons Of this amount. and the balance
comes from the Dalton e. Lark prom
critics. The ores Of the Commercial.
which Is located In upper Bingham can
yon, are conveyed over the tracks of
the Copper Belt railway to lower Bing-
nam, thence over the Rio Grande TO
the smelter.
No doubt the tonnages from the Bng-
nam properties will be materially in
creased soon, as the completion of the
drain tunnel of the Dalton d Lark
VIII make more ore available from that
source.
Besides the shipping grade Of ore,
there Is In the mines large quantity
of milling ore which is being deyei-
oped with a view Of building a con-
centrating mill when the ore reserves
are opened To the extent that win ius
