ANOTHER KNOCK FOR THE
KNOCKERS.

News Bureau says that e. e. Aber-
crombie, vice president of the Boston
Consolidated, has returned from a WIS.,
it to the Bingham camp. He says: "A
remarkable degree of activity is ap-
parent throughout the whole district.
The mines are outputting about $500
tons of ore per day, or in excess of 100,-
900 tons per month, and indications
all point to material increase in this
production before long.
"The Utah Consolidated company is
shipping between 800 and $50 tons per
day of good ore. Development work
is being kept up at the mines and the
smelter is doing excellent work. While
more or less controversy is being
raised in regard to the damage from
the sulphur fumes, the company is
alive to the situation and Is using
every endeavor to obviate 1t, with
every reasonable possibility of sue.
cess.
United States Mining company is
doing splendid work and Is showing
largest earnings in its history. It's
properties are being intelligently de
veloped and the company seems to be
well over its smelter troubles. 1t has
prospects of very large business in the
treatment of lead ores and is doubling
the size of its lead plant.
AT the Bingham Consolidated the
management has recently uncovered
some very rich ore in the Mascot tun.
mel, and 1t should not be long before
the Bingham company will be able to
treat very large tonnage of it's own
ore and be less dependent upon Gus
tom ore. While was there they were
running four out of their five furnaces
and treating the concentrates from the
Cactus and Utah Copper company and
custom ore from the Boston Console
dated and the Grand Central.
AT the Utah Copper company, com.
prehensive development work has
been done, nearly seven miles of I'M
foreground workings having been
opened in its porphyry deposit in two
years. This development warrants
them in building 5000 or 6,000-ton
concentrating mill for which plans are
now being prepared. They will con.
tinue to run their 800-ton mill in the
Bingham valley.
"The Yampa smelter Is now treating
about 700 tons of ore per day and is
one of the promising prospects of the
district. The Utah Apex is devoting
its attention to development work and
will resume shipments to the United
States smelter as soon as the roads
will permit the transportation of ore.
AT the Boston Consolidated, de-
velopment work on the sulphide side
of the Boston Consolidated property
has resulted in the opening of some
excellent ore and shipments to the
Bingham smelter at the rate of 200
tons per day are being maintained,
with an average of little better than
per cent copper. Extensive develop
ment work is under way on the por.
phyry side of the hill and assays from
the breast of the tunnel, which Is in
$50 feet in porphyry, show copper
values of from ~ to 2R per cent,
About sixty men are now at work on
the property"
Then, not having said enough about
Utah interests; not having said enough
in favor of business conditions here,
this friend of the hierarchy" prints
the following statement from New
York City interest in the Utah Con-
solidated:
1.-THE Utah Consolidated is now pro
ducing between 100000 and 1900, 900
pounds of copper per month at cost
