WEEK IN BINGHAM.
Dewey NH Now Running on Red Wins
Extension ore.

In the Bulletins last issue mention
was made OF the Utah Copper COM
pany's mines and the dyke OF altered
porphyry upon which they are situated.
The statement as to the company's
holdings was not exaggerated, and cam
not well be since II would require eight
figures to name the tonnage OF rock,
averaging as good as that which Is
now being treated known to be OBJ
tanned in the $50 acres covered by the
Utah group,
II was asserted. however, that the
Utah's great success has set an exam
pie that will be followed by other
powerful corporations, yet to be incor-
porated to operate similar ground"
This Is a misleading II not mischievous
statement that may be charged UP to
the authors lack OF actual informa-
ton, aud proneness Of newspapers to
listen to hearsay A gentleman who
has by tedious prospecting and testing
acquired an intimate knowledge OF
Blngham's altered porphyry and Its ex.
tent Is positive that practically all OF
such ground that can be worked Mt
profit Is already covered by large COM
pany holdings; and further, that II new
companies are formed TO consolidate
and operate new groups of outlying
claims, such schemes will prove to have
been promoted for speculative purposes
and end In disaster
For years the enterprise which did
not look good to DeLamar but was
snapped up by the Utah Copper people
has been incubating, II was a slow
process egg, but It's Matching was in
evltable. It Is now pointed out to The
Bulletin az obsurd that Col. Wall and
any others who may have been on the
inside, having knowledge based on
demonstrated facts that immense re-
suits would follow treatment OF the al
tered porphyry on q large scale, would
allow valuable ground adjacent to their
holdings TO remain In the hands OF
owners skeptical as to It's value, when
It might have been obtained for a few
dollars.
Taking this view Of the matter II Is
safe TO conclude there Is no foothod In
Bingham for new enterprises like the
Utah, and The Bulletin hastens to cor
rect the false impression its former
statement may have made. This paper
has never Willingly made an assertion
that was not based on Its best informa-
ton and belief
j. b. Stephens, owner OF the Julia s.
(Clipper HID group, and a promising
group below the Dalton & Lark, Is In
camp looking after his interests.
