WHITE ON BINGHAM CON.
President OF Company Tells Bostonlans
About Condltlon Of Mines.

President White of the Bingham Con-
solidated, who spent several weeks IN
this state recently, and who has re-
turned TO Boston, expressed himself a
few days ago as being surprised at the
developments made In the Bingham
properties OF his company since his
last visit IN July,
The Dalton & Lark developments, ."
said President White ARE perhaps
the most important which we have
ever made. A very rich ore body has
been cut on the l,l50-foot level, the
face Of which at the time left the
property, was averaging Z per cent In
copper and 60 ounces In silver. Two
feet In width Of this vein has averaged
as high as II per cent In copper and
$50 ounces In silver. In fact, we made
one shipment OF 10 tons OF this ore
which averaged 1917 per cent copper
and 81 ounces OF silver
I'VE have IN the Lead mine n fine
body OF ore, which we believe will
average between and 4 per cent cop
per. We have not made any large de-
velopments on this ore body, but the
promise is very great,
THE Mascot tunnel, we believe, is I'm
close proximity TO the ore bodies which
we have found above and which viii be
cut by the tunnel at a depth Of 1865 feet
deeper than the lowest workings. With
In six months this tunnel should be
completed, and besides the important
underground demonstrations which IL
Is expected to make. It will permit OF
large operating economies In the hand
ling Of our ore.
THE Eagle and Blue Bell is shipping
about 20 tons per day and the pro-
perty Is looking splendid, The show
Ing at the 75O-foOt level Is especially
good.
THE ore in our Commercial mine Is
running much higher In values than
was shown by the early samplings. The
ore runs high IN iron, with copper and
some values in gold and silver.
we are now shipping TO the shelter
monthly about $4,000 tons OF our own
ore and about 5000 tons OF custom ore.
our earnings this month should GER
tainly exceed $4,000 net.
I'VE have now over $4,000 feet In
length on the Lead mine Vein Brooklyn
vein and Dalton & Lark vein and l am
confident that we have blocked out In
sight today a flve-years supply OF ore
az the present rate Of production. When
the Mascot tunnel shall have cut the
ore bodies at depth, Of course our
available tonnage will be enormously
Increased.
with the cessation OF ore shipments
from the Boston Consolidated our own
mines have responded finely to the task
Of providing a large tonnage; In fact,
our ores are crowding the holsting ma
Chincry to the limit"
