Most careful consideration has been
given to the requirements of the
proposition by Managing Director
Samuel Newhouse and his engineers,

a plant destined to reduce the lower
grade ores TO concentrates or matte.

There is now blocked out in the mines

OF ore that can be moved at a minimum
cost. and all the time the reserves are
being added to- In addition. the COM

ing porphyry that is now being so re-
nuneratively handled by the Utah Cop

are all that separate one from the
other, and there is no question but
what the Boston Consolidated will some
day tackle its portion of the deposit
and convert il into coin of the realm
just as its neiShbOr is now doing.

approaching when the Utah-Apex is
going to be heard from in no uncertain
manner A new tunnel site has been
selected, and with the opening of spring

greater additional depth. 1t will be a
long time before the ores exposed along
the horizons of the present workings
can be exhausted. but the company is
looking TO the future and intends to
have the mine converted into one of
the biggest in the district For the
greater portion of the year the COM

tons of pre- per day, this coming out

was made the property has been so
well developed that it is very doubtful

The Tampa is one of the deepest and
best developed propositions in the
Bingham camp. For a year it has had
a mating smelter in operation at
Bingham. and on. the average has been
producing a carload of high-grade cop
per gold matte a day. This product
has been sold to the valley smelters
for conversion into bullion. and. owing
to its splendid fluxing constituents, has
