BEETLES BUYS INTO
BINGHAM COPPER co.

A. j. BEETLES, chief metallurgicaI engi-
neer and milling expert on the Newhouse
staff, has become so thoroughly convinced
of the great merit of the properties of the
Bingham Copper company that he has ia
ken a heavy interest in the proposition
Mr.. BEETLES has been spending some time
at the properties during recent visits to
Bingham and he now declares that, out
side of the holdings of the larger compa-
MES of the camp, he knows of no block
of ground that offers the same promise
of becoming great as the holdings of the
company named.
of course" said Mr.. Beetles in dis
cussing the matter yesterday, II am not
contending that the Bingham Copper is
a mine now though some of the ground
has produced handsomely from surface
workings. But do claim that the forma-
ton is right and the naturalization is so
strong that big mine ought to be made
there. The company has a large block of
ground, one of the largest on that portion
of the mineral belt, and it covers the CON
tact for over 5000 feet The tunnel that
is now being driven is developing some
fine ore, but the first great outcrop of
moment has not yet been reached. The
plan of developing through this tunnel is
all right for the present, but, fine as the

LAST CHANCE
CLOSED DOWN
Bingham Mines of the Nevada
Utah Company Suspend
Ore Production.
ORDER FROM NEW YORK
ONLY TWO BIG MINES IN CAMP
RUNNING WIDE OPEN.

The Last Chance mine at Bingham, the
property of the Nevada-Utah company,
suspended active operations Thursday
night on Instructions from the head Of
fees of the company in New York. Be
tween sixty and seventy men were en-
i ployed and all but fifteen have been Civ
en- their time. Those remaining are do
ing some timbering and otherwise plac-
ing the mine in shape for long siege OF
inactivity. The Utah Consolidated and the
Utah Copper are now the only tOp-nOtch
mines in the camp that are running full
handed, though the Ohio Copper has not
materially trimmed its forces yet.
Under the superintendency of NJ. II.
Kirk, the Last Chance mine has been
placed in fine shape, and great deal
of development work has been done. With
a modest sized mill he has been able to
make the proposition more than take
care of itself, so the orders to close come
somewhat in the nature of surprise,
particularly as the chief values in the
ore are silver and lead.
This closing down business is becoming
serious in the Bingham camp. and with
winter rapidly approaching the outlook
for the miners and all men employed at
the properties, TO say nothing of the
business houses of the camp, is anything
but bright.
Up to the present time there has come
no intimatiOn that the Utah Consolidated
would suspend operations or reduce its
production at all. What is true of this
company is also true of the Utah Cop
per. As a matter of fact. the latter is
planning this very minute to place two
more 500-tOn sections of its great milling
plant in commission. The present prices
of copper afford a splendid margin over
the costs of production with this COM
pany and the sale of a small proportion

NEWSPAPER MAN IN LUCK.
GoIdfeId Writer Gets into Big Thing
in StonewaII Range.

George w. Long, the well-known news
paper man of GOldfield, is in the city
for a day, on his way to Butte, and later
to Wisconsin and the east. Goldfield, he
says, has received some pretty hard Jolts,
in common with all other mining sections,
but the mines are growing better and big
ger every day and the production is such
that the world is compelled to sit up
and take notice.
After six months of earnest negotiation,
Mr.. Long and his Goldfield associates
have finally succeeded in the purchase of
a valuable group of claims in the Stone
wall mountains. about twelve miles south
of Goldfield, and within a mile or two
of where the Clark road between Rhyolite
and Goldfield will run. There is lots of
timber on the ground and a fine flow
of pure water was secured there just a
few days ago. The water was found by
the former owners of the claims. but IT
remained for Mr.. Long and his associates
to prove up the quantity and in this re-
spect they feel that an important strike
has been made. They expect to develop
ample water for milling purposes.
On the property are groupings of three
parallel Lodges which may be traced for
5,00G feet. Assays taken from many places
return from ST to S35 in silver bromides
and sulphides, with small values in gold.

is now exposed fifteen-foot body of ore
in the inclined shaft workings at depth
of about 300 feet, and not far from the
lines of the old Northern Light ground,
now a mart of the new companys posses

from a tunnel on Northern Light ground
by driving about go feet, and that work
will be inaugurated without delay. Later
we shall drive a tunnel from the Ophir

ION Northern Light ground new shaft
was started just a few days ago. 1t is
row down fifteen feet only, but that dis
lance has been gone all the way in a fine
body of carbonate ore that is behaving as
though it would develop into something
really big. OF course there has not been
enough work done yet to determine any
thing definitely, but ore from the surface
is not a bad thing to have.
Eventually we shall mill the bulk of
the ores from these properties, but | shall
not advocate the starting of mill until
there is at least a years supply of ore
ahead of it"
Both the Chloride Point and the North
ern Light have produced great deal of
exceedingly rich ore, and leasers in the
former property are now shipping car
load every few days that compares favor
ably with the best ores that come to this
market. They make no pretenSe, OF
course, to handle the milling grades, and
it is in these that the great wealth of
the properties will be eventually found.
This is shown in the size of the deposits,
even near the surface, and when syS-
tematic mining at depth is the rule, there
ought to be something doing in that sec
ton of the old Ophir district.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE
Prices Still saggins and Business Is

There is nothing to say for the local
market, other than that 1t is gradually
sagging, with the volume of business de-
creasing in corresponding ratio. All of
the weak holdings have evidently been
shaken out and the future is likely to be
one of little doing and every move one of
sympathy with eastern conditions. Pro-
duction in mines is being trimmed a lit
tie and the prospects are all favorable TO
lower prices for all the metals. Develop

change comes. Utah mines and local

This liquidation has also resulted in
