IS now the favorite way Of tereely ex-
pressing what development has done
for the famous old camp a few miles
across the valley south Of west from
salt Lake City: a camp which mine
managers in their autos run out to in an
hour or so during the forenoon and re-
turn from in the evening in time for
elmer; a camp that has so many char
acteristics i'm the Montana copper me-
trOpOlis. that the miner and operator
from the latter is required to make no
mental calculation Of moment to recOg-
nlze the resemblance after visiting the
Utah district. The visitor realizes. Of
course, that the same tonnage is not
being sent to the emeltels. but his in
itial trip through the mine workings
convinces him at once that it is only
matter of time till the performances
Of the northern camp are duplicated.

Great Ore Production.
The skeptical and uniformed will
contend that il is easy to talk OF Bing
ham sending out 5000 tons of ore per
day. or 800 carloads Of twenty-five tons
each, and some OF them win probably
say why. IF the mines nave the ore
i'm such quantity why is il not being
shipped now2' A natural query and
very easily answered: Because the
year closes with mine development

ducticn facilities and no other"
Everything connected with the or
ganiz8tiOn OF companies. opening of the
mines providing means of tr0nGpOrta-
ton and methods of treatment of the
, ores produced by the mines Of Bing-
ham, has been and is being worked out
On sure, conservative and scientific
AUsiuess principles. With foundations
20 this character to begin work upon
there iS no doubt of ultima te results-
nothing Is being left to guess-work.
When the smelter was ordered for the
Highland Boy or Utah Consolidated
company, it was known where the ores
were coming from to feed il. When.
short time ago, it was decided TO en-
large the plant. it was because the
mines reserves of ore fully justified It.

cost. while everything indicates that be

months past the mine has been supply
ing the cOmpany's smelter with an
average of 500 tons Of ore per day: by
the first Of next June il viii nave been
Increased to $50 tons and. while no such
claim is made by Manager Claiming,
% wiz not be surprising to learn that,
later I'm the year. provision has been
made for taking care Of 1000 tons per
day
United States Company.
The United States company, combin-
sing as il does, the sulphides from its
Bingham mines with the silicates from
the Ccntennial-Eureka, is not pulling
out Of Bingham the same tonnage as
is the Highland Boy. but when the
sixth furnace has been placed in COM
mission at it's smelter il viii be util-
iz!ng at least 500 tons OF ore from its
Bingham properties, while fl may find
room for even more than that
The Utah Copper company, under the
management of d. G. Jackling, is at
the present moment opening on an ex-
tensive scale the monster cOpper-bear-

rushed TO completion at a point in the
main Bingham canyon and not far
from the mines. tt is already a settled
fact that this mill viii be increased TO
daily capacity Of 1900 tons during
the year. and there would be no trouble
in supplying twice that much ore from
the mine if there was water enough 10

launched at Bingham during the pres
ent year and il serves to illustrate in
a most perfect manner what the re-
sources Of the camp really are.
Boston Consolidated.
In his annual report to the share
holders of the company Managing Di-
rector Samuel NewhOuse. of the Ros-
ton Consolidated. another OF Bingham's
great copper bonanzas, shows that
there is now blocked out approximately
LOO. 900 tons Of ore. while the territory
owned by the company has hardly been
scratched" to use a familiar mining
expression, as vet. Most favorable
contracts have been entered into with
the valley smelters and several hun
dreds Of tons Of ore per day are now
being delivered. That the amount viii
be increased to 1000 tons per day dur
ing the year Is to be expected. On the

Bingham Cons Shipments.
During the year the Bingham Con-
eOlidated company has been shipping
from its Commercial group adjoining
the Boston Consolidated. an average of
about 200 tons of ore per day while
fts Dalton & Lark mines have been
contributing about 100 tons. The lat
ter group of mines are now being de-
veloped al great depth through the long
tunnel and within the coming year it

this camp anywhere between 500 and
$50 tons per day.
Just a year ago it was stated that the
