D. G lacking, one of the best known
and most expert mining; and netaIIur-
glcal engineers in this country is gen
eral manager of the cOmpany'S prop
critics, and to him has been intrusted
the problem of making of the proDo-
sition what its projectors. he among
them, intended it should be in the be-
ginning-the greatest copper producer
in this western country. That he will
succeed no one knowing him doubts
for a moment. That il will require
time is just as certain, but, with the
property already earning nice NJ tneS
in the treatment OF $50 tons of ore per
day, its possibilities are limited only
BY the provision that can be made for
handling the rock.
IL was hoped a year ago that the
company would be treating at least
2,000 tons per day by this time. but il
proved a physical impossibilitv TO get
shaped up for, that amount. It's cal
culated that water enough can he Sc

panys plant is located. to treat 5000
tons per day, and, everything moving
as expected. this year viii most likely
see the plants capacity increased to
that amount. The comps. ny. owns val
uabIe water rights not a great many
miles from Bingham, and when the
proper time comes and that means
when proper facilities for moving the
: ore from the mines to the min are pro
vided. this water will be taken into
comp and the mills capacity viii be
hoisted up to not less than 5000 tons
per day.
This reads big, but there is nothing
too big for the combination behind the
Utah Copper crowd to tackle. and
there is no denying the fact that the
ore is there to warrant it And as
depth is attained in the mammoth
mine workings. there is no doubt that
the value of the ores viii increase: in
fact. this feature of the business has
already been demonstrated so. when
5000 tons are being treated daily there

Bingham-New Haven Mines.
The property of the New Haven com
pany is one of the very latest to enter
the shipping lists and the record which

entities it TO rank SZith the best of the
camps producers The ground Of the
company wedges in between the pos
sessions of the Utah and Boston Con-
solidated companies, and covers some
of the richest siIver-lead-goId veins in
the camp Great bodies of ore have
Deen developed at a depth of approx
nlately 200 feet beneath the surface on
the dip of the veins. and to shin 100
tons a day Will now be the easiest thing
in the world. This will mean a revenue
of $500 to $500 day for the com
pany. and as the ore is all being mined
through a tunnel the cost of extrac-

management has just had loading bins
constructed on the line of the Cooper

less than a mile to haul from the mine
The property is splendidly equipped
with good buildings and machinery of
all kinds During the year the com
pany added to its possessions several
valuable claims. and now it boasts one
of the largest and best blocks of ground

Boston Consolidated.
The Boston Consolidated made A
good record during the year A ire
mendous amount of development work
was done, and though the shipment Of
approximately 200 tons of ore per day
for a large portion of the year, it was
possible to pay up all Indebtedness and
lay by snug nest egg rs well. A few
months ago shipments We're suddenly
discontinued and the report became
current that a deal for the propertv
