bodies on the lower tunnel level and
that it was then considering the uues-
ton of building a mating smelter at
or near the mine. The smelter has
since been erected and, by the time this
paper reaches the reader. it will be in
partial If not full opratiOn. The plant
includes six entering and one mating
furnace, and from $50 TO $50 tons Of
crude ore per day will be converted
into such grade Of matte as VIII find
the best market at the bUlliOn-prOduc-
ing works in the valley. In the mine
superintendent Craig has made con-
nectiOns between the upper and lower
workings and ore has been and is being
opened up on numerous levels from the
surface down through the mammoth
vein for a distance of more than LOO
feet.
Bodies in Tampa.
George II. Robinson, the general
manager Of the company, who Is al
ways reticient on the subject, acknowl-
edges that a heavy tonnage Of very
good copper-gold ore has already been
blocked out and. if he should be per-
suaded TO release the figures, there is
little doubt that they would be placed
at close to 100000 tons. That sounds
pretty big. but it muse be understood
that the Yampa has been under sye-
tematic development for several years;
that solid bodies Of ore from fourteen
to forty or more feet thick. have been
followed down into the earth for a
distance, on the dip Of the vein, for l.
700 feet that levels have been run out
at intervals of 100 feet apart for the
greater portion of the distance and
that the ore bodies have been proven
for thousands Of feet in length. The
Yampa is a wonderful mine. splendidly
opened. and il is just entering upon
to
earn a name for il fuhy as great as
any other mine In that district While
one grade OF ore is going to its own
mating furnaces, the Yampa viii be
sending about 200 tons of crude ore per
day TO the valley plants under con-
tract. It's mating plant has been de-
signed and constructed with the idea
Of increasing its capacity in short or
der and at very little expense. and ii
viii be surprising If the mine is not
being called upon for LOCO tons Of ore
per day long before the close of the
coming year.
New Operations in District.
Bingham has experienced another
stroke Of good fortune during the year
now closing in the acquisition to the
ranks of it's operators the CaitrOw-
Tibbits syndicate. which has taken
hold Of the Columbia mine and organ
crate it. While the new combination
has been in control only a few months,
IL has equipped the mine with modern
machinery and opened much new
ground. Sinking from the tunnel level
some very rich copper ores have been
opened up during the present month
and everything looks favorable for the
mine 10 fairly Outstrip all previous rec
ords during the year to come. A new
mill has been built by the company
and it will not be many days, now, till
$50 tons of ore per day is going through
10, this in addition 70 the first-class
which II ships direct to the shelters.
Before the close of the coming year
the Columbia VIII be handling and
shipping at least 500 tons Of ore per
Deal Ends Litigation.
OF no less Importance has been the
deal which was closed by the owners
Of the control of the Highland Boy
Consolidated company with A. J. Orem,
representing the Utah-Apex company.
BY it's terms the latter company gets
the Highland Boy Con. and cuts off all
litigation which has threatened to tie
up that property and the PetrO. ad-
joining, as well. Both mines now go
70 the Utah-ApeX company and from
them viii be evolved one Of the big
producers Of the camp during the COM
ing year Splendid ore bodies exist in
both properties and their systematic
opening is now under way. The ground
all adioins the Yampa and Utah Con-
sOlidated cOmpany's territory and by
many IS considered just as valuable as
either of its big neighbors. In another
twelve months this property should be
producing 250 TO 400 tons Of ore per
day.
Numerous other properties in the
camp can be counted upon TO make
better records during the gear 20 come
than they have done during the past.
though not a few of them have made
excellent records. as it is. Dirt Is be-
coming mighty valuable anywhere i'm
Bingham and every months operations
in the old camp makes st more so.
Colonel Wallis Bonanza.
Colonel Z. A. Wall is developing a
bonanza in the Maxwell property,
alongside OF the Yampa, the Bingham
Copper Boy is doing the same thing to
the west OF the Utah-Apt- cOmpa1y's

the original Highland Boy on the south.
Still further to the south the new COM
pany which has taken over the Bazouk

Butler-Liberal Dividend.
In the northern portion of the camp
there are many fine properties. The
Butler-Liberai company's ground mas
responded so generously TO development
that 81 has warranted the pay

piled up as a surplus with which L.
