Picturesque History of Great Camp.
BY JOEL L. PRIEST.

+ grade could be handled successfully
Powder cost 500 a keg and a common
mining shovel was held at $3.50. The
first tunnel in the West Jordan was
driven at a cost of SEQ a foot. And
when a little smelter was established
the cost of treating the ore was in the
neighborhood of $50 ton.
First Experiment in Copper.
As early as 1868 the copper began
coming in in Streaks. An attempt was
made to treat the ore, but without sue
! cess. AS an experiment the Walker
Brothers of Salt Lake freighted a car
load of il to Uintah, on the Union Pa
/ cifie, and shipped it to a smelter al
Baltimore. The returns from the I'M
dertaking did not justify a continuance
and so Bingham confined its attention
to lead, silver and gold. From 1869 tc
1885 or 1886 the taking out of the silver
lead and gold went on, the latter branch
being most materially aided by the dis
covery of placer mines. Some mil
lions of dollars in gold alone came out
of Bingham during those years, and il
was not an uncommon thing to find
ore running from 5000 to 1000 ounces
per ton.
II was in 1885 that the beginning OF
the end seemed to approach. the lead
silver and gold began to pinch out
the copper was coming in. If the cop
per bodies had been Of high grade
there would not have been the discOur-
agement that followed But in those
! days the science of smelling could
hardly be called a science. The meth
DDS were crude and a great percentagt
of the value went into the Stag dump
To yield any return worth while tC
the miner it was necessary for copper
ore to run as high as 25 per cent oil
better in that metal.
/ And even at those figures the demand
was not great. Copper was not put
to the uses to which it is being pu:
today. The market was limited. II
was natural, therefore, for the miners
| of Bingham, courageous men though
| they were. to become discouraged. The
camp had grown until it contained some
| $500 people. The exodus began in the
early SOS and continued for several
! years. George E. Lee, justice of the
peace at Bingham for ten years and a
resident of the camp since 1872 said
the other day:
Some DoIefuI Prophecies.
Those were gloomy years for Bing-
! ham. The values Were apparently gone
/ from the mines. No new discoveries
were made. Everything seemed over
l hung on through it all, because
had faith in the future of the ca1cp
but l remember hearing it said that the
time would soon come when grass
would grow in the streets of Bingham
and sheep would be herded in the
gulches around. Some of us didn't give
up. but I can tell you things certainly
! looked bad. Tt was hard to go from
| the time when everybody was working

The Boston Consolidated company
properties ere now magnificently
equipped for the career of production
and notwithstanding that has been
planned and which is just now begin
ming to be carried into effect in mas
terly manner. Every practical device
calculated to reduce the cost of each
pound of copper marketed has been in
troduced, though not a cent has been
spent for show. The Copper Belt rail-
read tracks run under the 2,000-ton-ca
pacity ore bins, which are located be-
low the Armstrong No. tunnel. Out
of this tunnel all the ores mined at
the present time are brought from the
mine by trains of cars drawn by an
electric locomotive. and the round trip
of more than a mile is often made in
less than eight minutes These trains
run into the upper portion of the ore
bin structure and are dumped, and the
brOad-gauge railroad cars are loaded
through the gates in the bottom of the
bins. IN the mine ores from the vari-
Gus levels above the Armstrong No. 2
tunnel are dumped into chutes which
are drawn up in loading the cars that
are hauled out of the mine. At present
the mine is being drawn upon for about
800 tons per day, and when the Ameri-
can company's new works are in full
operation and its sampling mill is ready
to care for the business this tonnage
will be increased to at least 500 tons
per day-a tonnage which, In itself, will
give the company a net profit of from
81, 800 to $4,000 per day. Owing to the
splendid manner in which the mine has
been opened and the fine equipment
provided. this tonnage could be doubled
in a days notice.
Great Ore Deposits.
Because of the fact that the company
has been marketing only $50 to $50 tons
Of ore per day eastern papers have fire.
quently expressed doubt as to whether
the ore bodies in this mine were all
that had bene claimed for them. To al
lay any feeling of unrest that may be
felt on that score it might be stated
that the company's statements touching
the size and value of its sulDhide ore
deposits have never contained more
than a portion of the truth, strong as
they have been. To realize this a
tramp through the workings would con-
vince the most skeptical.
Think Of it, The upper or work tun-
mel has opened these bodies of ore at
vertical depth below the surface at
the highest point of about 700 feet, and
miners are now taking most of the ore
that comes from the NINE other than
that derived from the development of
the various levels down to the Arm
strong No. 2 tunnel, from slopes above
the work tunnel. These have been ex-
tended nearly 100 feet up from the work
tunnel, and there is yet nothing to
indicate when their limits, surfaceward
will be reached. On the Peabody level,
100 feet under the work tunnel, this
mass of sulphide ore has been opened
