or the many great mining camps OF
Utah, whose apparently inexhaustible
| resources have attracted the attention
Of the investing world, few have been
so favorably considered rs Bingham.
The most thorough mining talent OF
the country has concentrated their ef-
forts In this Utah district, and new Or
gnniZatlonS formed for the purpose OF
operating Bingham properties always
are surrounded with an interest that
seldom attaches to a district or COM
pany. The most recent company TO ac-
quire and make ready for the develop
ment OF Bingham possessions is the
Standard Copper company, which is
composed OF Utah and Eastern capt.
talists,
Lessons Are Learned.
There Is little Of the uncertain either
In the mining or proper handling OF the
Standard company's ores before the
management for solution. With re
sources alike to It's prominent neigh

by time and experience of others this
company rishtfully considers Its future
comparatively easy. The Standard com
pany will proceed without delay upon
vigorous and well-planned course of
development work.
Has Prominent Neighbors.
Adjoining the properties of this new
ly-organized company, with their
workings within few hundred
feet, are the properties OF the
Boston Consolidated company. on
the east the New England, and
the Old Jordan property Of the
claims, and on the west lies the prop

Ing developed by a strong combination
OF Utah mining talent, Within radius
OF 5000 feet IN all directions are grouped
most OF the richest deposits Of the
camp OF Bingham, including the Utan
Consolidated, the Yampa, Bingham and

Among First Located.
In the early days OF the camp The
claims comprising the Standard prop

ure, This splendid area of mineralized
ground, with Its network Of ore-bear-
ing assures, bids fair to become n
scene of activity and profit, there be-
Ing every inducement for the organ
izers to rush work into the midst of
their resources.
Rich Copper Orc Developed.
BY means of tunnel already driven
into the Amelia claim there has been
disclosed rich sulphide of copper ore
assaying as high as 7.74 per cent In
copper, S413 gold and 1,20 ounces sill
yer, Rich lead ore is found on tbs
Burning Moscow on the upper levels,
while copper contents come in with
depth. The other claims Of the Stand
ard company on the upper levels have
been worked In the past, showing sill
Yer-lead assures OF value and extent.
These assures will be cut by the lower
workings to be started on the Moscow
or Amelia, a course OF development
which has an immediate value In that
the work Will be permanent In char
acter and economical. In addition, the
Daisy group of seven claims, near the
Utah Consolidated, possesses great pos
sibilities, experts reporting that the MIN
eral deposits Of this group assure
producer of no small dimensions. The
company will develop these claims by
means Of the tunnel that Is now being
driven.

On July Is the company will begin
cleaning out the older workings, of
which there are 1900 feet, and no effort
