ore and bullion settlements in this
city during the past week, as re-

total being $500. as follows: Silver

IL IS doubtful if the obtainable fig
ures on output in the future can be
relied upon TO give even an approx
mate idea of the amount OF business
done That the amount of ore treated
is constantly on the increase, and that
the amount of bullion and its value
must necessarily increase, also, goes
without saying. That figures given out
are to be of little value in the fU-
ture is plainly shown in statements
made by some of the company man
ayers.
The Utah Consolidated began with
holding reports of its production two
or three weeks ago. The United states
company has decided to give out no
figures touching either the production.

while the Bingham management is not
disposed to conceal anything, it is
hardly likely that its reports Will be
forthcoming after il is known that its
neighbors have pulled the ouckerinS

company frankly states that Il is in
the smelling business. as such, and
IL has no intention of tipping its hand
to competitors. The Utah Consolidated

ductiOn on orders from Boston head
quarters. It's output is so regular and
uniform, however, that it can be guessed
very closely from week 10 week. The
American company never has given
anything more than an approximate
idea of its business and. with the

CONCERNING BINGHAM CON.

are never heard of in this country pre-
vailed every day during Mr.. Mac
Vichie's journeying east of the Rocky
mountains and he was glad to get away
from 1t all.
Il spent some little time in Denver
looking after concentrating tests on
car of ore from the Mexico Consoh-
dated company's property, said Mt.
MacVichie "but as the final returns
have not yet been received L am not
in a position to say just what results
may be expected. Enough has been
learned, however, to show that the ore
is going to yield good results by simple
concentrating methods and have no
doubt that arrangements will be made
to build a mill at the mines of the
company. I shall try and make trip
down there in about two weeks
Recording the report from Boston to
the effect that the Bingham and Tintic
properties of the Bingham Consolidated
company would be only SparlnSly
called upon for ores during the COM
ing year or so. in order that the mines
might be placed in better shape for
more economical production, Manager
MacVichie made a significant state
ment.
The company's Commercial mines.
said he, will never be in better shape
for economical production than they
are today. 1 do not wish to give fig
ures just now, but 1 am sure that there
is no property in Utah that can mine
ore for a less price per ton than can
the Commercial. To say that it is go
ing to take a year to open up the Dali
ton & Lark and Lead mines through
the Mascotte tunnel is all nonsense.
Ninety days viii see that work
through. The Eagle & Blue Bell prop
erty at Tintic is in good shape and II
can be called upon for any tonnage re-
quired from now on and the mining can
be done very economically, at that.
Everything about the cOmpany's mines
is in good shape. L don't know what
will be done in respect to adding to the
smelter'S capacity. but when it be-
comes necessary to enlarge it 1 have
no doubt il will be done"

The annual meeting of the Mammoth

afternoon, 22O. sos shares of stock being
represented. The old board of directors
and officers were reelected, as follows:

urer: Samuel Mcintyre, jr-. vice preSi-
dent: r. NJ Wilkinson, secretary; J. A.
Cunningham, jr., Z. D., Cliff and A c.
Sawyer.
a complete financial statement, COW
eTing every phase of the company s
business for the calendar year ending
Dec. 81 was submitted. 1t showed
total receipts of 5000, 1901 and dis
bursements. less the dividends paid, of
$204. O307O. making a gain for the year
of sos. 340.01 The dividends paid
amounted to Sis, 532.70, so the disburse-
ments over gains amounted TO S1S.-
1853. This loss is accounted for in
the fact that the December dividend
was declared before it was known just
how the months production would pan
out. It proved a bad month and the
treasury went TO the bad for the
amount stated. The deficiency has
since been made up and Secretary Will
kinsOn showed at the meeting that
there was a modest surplus now on
hand.
superintendent Samuel Mcintyre, jr.,
submitted a report which showed the
physical condition OF the mine from top
to bottom During the year from 125
to $50 men have been on the pay-rOlls
and the operating account Of the mine
has approximated $50, 900 per month.
On the 2,100-foot level the report says
n drift was sent east 100 feet, from
which point it was turned north and
followed a small streak OF ore for sixty
feet. From there raise has been made
for $50 feet in the ore streak, which is
described as being a ''dropper' from
the main Ore-bearing channel. Con-
tinued this raise is expected to lead into
the main ore shoot developed on the
], 800 foot level.
From the west side of the shaft a
drift has been pushed out TO the north
a distance of $50 feet. About forty feet
north in this drift a four-fOot fissUTe,
carrying copper-bearing quartz was cut
through This fissure runs east and
west and is considered an extension
of the old lead stope" opened on the
1900 and ], 400-foot levels. a distance
OF $50 feet farther on the 200 Wine
stOpe was encountered, but il was
found so badly caved that Superintend-
ent Mcintyre is yet unable to say what
it will amount to- other portions OF the
report dealt with the older developed
portion of the mine and contained moth

CONDITIONS AT AJAX.
Outlook Is Encouraging, But No
Strike Has Been Made.

Manager Thomas Weir of the Ajax was
asked yesterday if there was anything
out of the ordinary taking place at the
mine that would account for the rather
rapid advance in the cOmpany'S shares
during the past ten days. He stated there
cOuraSing, but there had been no strikes
made.
I'VE are going along and making both
ends meet without trouble SAID MI
Weir Some months we manage to do
better than that Since the annual meet
ing in October we have made about 81. 800
more than IL has cost TO keep up the
suing at the mine There are some nice
streaks. of ore in two or three different
places IN the property, and these are be-.
ing prospected in the hope that one of
these days We shall encounter the main
bodies. We have not felt like assessing
the stockholders for the purpose of
celebrating the plan of campaign. and
there is no likelihood that we shall do
so at any rate long as there is any
thing left unpaid on the mortgaged in
debtednesS of the company. Through the
assessments which have been levied this
Indebtedness has been reduced 70 about
5000 and interest. With that out Of the
and If a good strike could be made il
would not take long TO place the company
IN a good financial condition. The mine
looks encouraging. and We are hoping
to develop something good II that was
not the case. l should feel like giving up.
The stock of the company Is now held

time and whenever there is an order for
the shares from any source II seems TO
