YAMPA'S POLICY
OF EXPANSION
Management Will Rip Things Up
at Bingham This Year.
VICTOR TO BEGIN SHIPPING
BINGHAM CON. NOT AFTER TIN
TIC MINES.

1t has just leaked out that the Tin
tic Mining & Development company. of
which George II. Robinson is the ag-
gressive manager. is still disconnected
with the size of its holdings at Bling
ham. Every day witnesses a further
advance into the mammoth ore bodies
being ripped open in the Tampa, brt
still further room in which to expand
is desired. In the absence of Mr. Rob-
tnson il is not possible 10 speak by
the card but from a pretty good
source it is learned that the company
would like to relieve the Highland Boy
OF the Rattlesnake, Keepapitchinin and
another claim or two in that portion
of the latter company's domain.
For development purposes it is ar
gued that they naturally belong to the
Yampd. If there is ore in the ground
1t can be much more easily found
through the Yampa than the Highland
Boy workings and to properly mine it
would almost require that it be handled
from the Yampa side. 1t is said that
sDarring for the ground has already
begun and that sooner or later the
two companies will reach an under
standing OF what can be done in the
matter.
At the same time the Yampa is said
TO be preparing to annex the Highland
Boy Consolidated company's territory
and push its developing arms into that
ground. 1t is also after the control of
the Copper Belt railroad that plies be-
tween lower Bingham and the Bingham
Consolidated company's Commercial
mine. The intention is to extend it
from that point over to the Yampa, a
distance of less than a mile and thus
make several properties besides its own
tributary to the road.
If the Highland Boy doubles its out
put during the year, and there seems
to be no doubt that it WILL the road
would no doubt make it an object to
the company to send the increased
tonnage down over the Copper Belt line.
rather than build another tramway 1t
could, and no doubt would be made
to serve the Boston Consolidated as
well, and, with the 5000 tons of ore
per month from the Yampa, the 500
tons per day from the Commercial and
the contributions of Independent minor
shippers, the road would become one
of the best pieces of railroad property
in the state
In addition to having it's heart set
on carrying out these enterprises. the
management of the Yampa is getting
things in shape for the building of it's
own smelter close to it's own mine
workings. That viii be done during the
present year. With its completion a
stream of ore will find its way direct
from the mine cars into the furnaces
at one end. while a constant stream OF
cODDergold bullion will be sent out of
the other end of the works and loaded
directly into the cars for shipment to
market.
These and other plans which the
Yampa management is shaping up for
early contamination makes it plain
that before the year is over the Tin
tic Mining & Development company
will be operating on a scale larger,
possibly. than any other like institu-
ton in the state. Nothing is being
overlooked that will make mining, re-
ductioR and transportation of it's pro-
ducts economical and profitable, and
everything now points to an early
rounding out of all the details.
