President Newhouse Gives Some Inter

President Samuel Newhouse Of tho
Boston Consolidated company has Issued.
through the London Office OF tho COM
pany, a comprehensive report OF the COM
pany's affairs, part OF which Is as fol-

LAS regards that portion OF the limo
belt lying south of, and between tho
Work and Phoenix tunnels, development
there has been productive OF good re-
suits. We have opened In this territory
an ore body OF very great eXtont. COM

about eighty feet. The development
along the dip has extended for nearly
100 feet, Where developed this body
shows values above the average grade
OF the mine, In tho Utah stope, lying
above the Work and extending toward
the Phoenix, there has been q great
Improvement within the last few months.
the ore having increased to sixty feet
IN thickness. The boundaries Of this
body nre not yet determined.
THE new Colorado stope gives prom
Ise OF being one Of the largest bodies
found In the mine. The grade Is above
average, but not sufficient development
has been done to determine It's limits.
Since my last annual report and prior
to June |, we have shipped 40,92I tons
of sulphide ores. for which we have re-
ceived 1904 .094. This output could have
been more than doubled had II not been
for restrictions imposed upon US by the
Bingham Consolidated Smelter, which
lacked capacity TO handle more OF our
ore.
since my last annual report the un-
derground workings In the porphyry mine
have been extended as follows: Tunnels,
1905 feet; crosscuts, 1901 feet; raises.
1856 feet; levels, 1s9 feet; drifts, 129
feet. This extensive development has
been performed with n View 10 definitely
blocking out the available tonnage and
determining It's value The work has
been advanced from ffty-nine headings,
all In ore, the highest values being
shown in the Metropolitan tunnel, where
307 feet gives an assay averaging 2.25
per cent copper. Crosscut No. 1 from
this same tunnel shows ffty-two feet,
assaying 2.S2 per cent copper cTosscut

average assay of 222 per cent copper.
Ben Hur tunnel No. 1 advanced S49 feet.
showing an average value of 1.9 per cent
copper
"Ben Hur tunnel crosscut No, ad-
vanced 437 feet, with an average assay
Of 1.61 per cent copper, Tunnel No. Z
orosscut No. / advanced 104 feet, showing
nm average assay of 1.S per cent copper.
This development is being continued,
with a view OF ultimately connecting the
various workings before the work OF
stripping the ore bodies with steam
shovels has been completed.
"The site for the erection OF our mill
at a point midway between the Utah
Copper company and the Garfield Smelt-
Ing company, has an average width OF
three quarters OF a mile and extending
into the valley on a gentle slope for
two miles, affording hne opportunities
for the disposal Of tailings. 1t totals
100 acres. Jointly with the Utah Cop
per company and the American Smeltin"
company we have entered into an agree
ment with the Rio Grande Railway com
pany to have built twenty y-seven miles
of new track between Bingham canyon
and the Garfield plants, with sufficient
equipment TO handle ores and concen-
trates originating at any OF the three
plants for term of twenty years.
"The Telluride Power company has
executed q fye-year contract which in
sures delivery OF power at a lower cost
than we could manufacture 1t with
steam, and also saves the company the
cost OF a $3.50 900 power plant
