BINGHAM CON. SHELTER
Is ON ITS LAST LEGS

The Bingham Consolidated COM
pany's smelter, the second copper plant
erected in this valley, and which has
been in operation about six years, will
be entirely down and out by the end
of the present month. The last props
are being knocked from under ii. so to
speak, al the present moment, and
there remains nothing to do but con-
tinue, the wreckage till the last, wall is
razed to the ground.
This is the first plant in the smoke
zone that has caused all the trouble
with the farmers to be dismantIed
Close to this point is the works of the
United States company, and both are
located at Bingham Junction. The
Highland Boy plant of the Utah Con-
solidated company is located a mile or
two farther north, and near the lead
smelling works of the American COM
paDy at Murray.
K vas noe altogether snoke troubles
With the farmers that resulted IN the
order being given to close down and
dismantle the Bingham Consolidated
plant. 1t was somewhat out of date,
and it would have taken great deal of
money to remodel the plant and put it
in shape for the economical handling
of ore. This fact, and the fact that the
fight was on with the farmers, any
how, made the dismantling of the
works the cheapest way out of the di-
lemna

ORE IS CUT IN
CEDAR SHAFT
Eighteen Inches of Fine Sand
Carbonate Encountered at
= Depth of 465 Feet.
PRESENCE NOT SUSPECTED
OTHER PARTS OF MINE TURNING
OUT WELL

Word from the Cedar eompany's
property in Beaver county, yesterday
morning, was to the effect that, at a
depth of 465 feet, the main operating
shaft had dropped into a strong assure
filled with sand carbonate ore. AS
nothing of the kind was looked for or
expected at this point, Manager Her
man Barnett expresses the opinion that
it is an entirely new and separate vein
from anything so far developed in the
mine. When the letter was written to
Mr.. Barnett there had been eighteen
inches of the ore shown up, while the
full extent of the disclosure had not
been determined. No assays had been
made and no samples had been sent
out, but the understanding is that the
ore is high-grade in both lead and sii-
yer, while this character of rock in
other portions of the mine carries nice
values in gold, as we'll
Manager Barnett states that the drift
from the 400-fOOt station in the shaft
is now showing some fine stringers of
high-grade ore, and he has no doubt
that there are solid bodies ahead. The
Wine that was put down in the ore
bodies from the 265-foOt level to the
300 is being continued on down. to the
400, and it will eventually go down to
the 800 if the ore holds out, as it has
been doing. By this means fine venti-
lation will be secured and the ground
put in shape for extensive stopping Op-

states has been submitted to headquar-

its acceptance or rejection, he is I'M
willing to discuss.
The fact that a compromise basis has

1000 stockholders, of which two-thirds

ceived advices that the leasers on the
Lizzie mine have made another impor-
tant strike. In sinking the shaft, three
feet of new ore has been encountered
averaging 4 per cent copper. Every
indication on the Lizzie claim gives
evidence of making of a big mine
through the opening of a lode thirty
feet wide 100 feet from the surface
which averages 23s per cent copper its
entire width. and the ore improving
with depth is certainly remarkable
development and alone assures a fu-
ture for the Davis DAILY company out

market with a respectable buying order
on any stock and have it executed with
out advancing the price materially. This
is taken to indicate that every weak hold

CONGRESS WILL CONSIDER
MARGINS AND FUTURES

That bucketshop methods of trading
are going to receive a hard blow in
congress this winter is evidenced in the
following item from Fridays New
York Commercial, that was shot over
the Pollock private wires yesterday:
Mr.. Scott of Kansas has signalized
his promotion to the chairman of the
committee on agriculture today by in
Producing a bill in the house prohibit
ing the dealing in futures in grain. In
line with this is d bill introduced by
Mr.. Burleston of Texas to prohibit like
dealings in respect to cotton; and Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the
committee on interstate and foreign
committee, author of the railroad rate
law, is credited with an intention to
introduce a bill prohibiting sales of
stock on margin.
Friends of this sort of legislation,
especially those Interested in cotton.
who have been active in promoting
similar propositions in several years,
see in this combination a concerted
movement to suppress gambling in all
food products, or those of labor and
profess confidence that something will
be accomplished by this congress. They
point to the existence of a stock of
'unspinnable' cotton, etc, at not less
than 100000 bales, which under the
contracts in force on the exchanges
they say, may be delivered on contracts
calling for middling goods, as the dead
weight which serves to depress prices
in New York to such a figure that the
growers lose from $4,000, 900 to $780,
100000 a year on their exports. Were
dealings in futures stopped they assert
this mass would find its way to paper
mills or be otherwise disposed of, and
prices rise to a height where prosperity
would come to all the people"

Boston News Bureau: The Butte
Coalition Mining company has con-
tracts with both of the Amalgamated
smelters in Montana for the treatment
of its Ores-the WashOe plant and the
Boston & Montana smelter at Great
Falls. Considerable inquiry has arisen
as to the nature of the smelling con-
tracts which the Butte Coalition has
with Amalagamted interests by reason
Of the decision of the management of
the Butte Coalition company to sus-
pend mining operations simultaneously
with the announcement that all of the
Amalgamated mines with the single
exception of Boston &, Montana would
cease operations. this including the
Washoe smelter.
When operations are finally resumed
by the Butte Coalition. it should be at
a lower cost per pound of refined cop
per. as by that time the new tramway
shaft should be completed and through
this shaft alone a considerable saving
in the cost of the hosting is expected
TO be effected.

The Company of Pewterers, Which

Unlike the trades unions Of today,
the Company of Pewterers of oldenl
times was composed of the masters
only, and disobedience of the rules was
punished with vigor far exceedingI
anything of the kind at the present
! day. The laws were made for the pro-
lection of the general public and not
for the workingman alone; consequent
ly the articles turned out by almaster
pewterer and bearing his touch" had
to be up to given standard of excel
lence. Before man could set I'D as
master pewterer he was obliged to
serve an apprenticeship of about six
years, after which he had to produce
his ESSAY" pieces under certain test
conditions, and only after these pieces
had been approved by the authorities
of the craft was he allowed his free
dom and permitted to register his pri-
vate touch at the company's hall
and set up as master pewterer.
The company was not content merely
to pass upon the work of a craftsman.
but came very near regulating the
minor details of his life The penalty
was very heavy for employing a helper
who had not served a regular appren-
dceship, and any master so daring as
to employ a foreigner was fined f1O.
and all articles made by him were CON
fiscated, the object being to keep the
trade secrets from spreading.-CfrcIe

A COUNTRY VISITOR.
The New York Man Felt Above Him,

but Changed His Opinion.
One of the most successful wholesale
dry goods merchants New York city
ever saw had the peculiar habit of re-
garding as his inferior any man who
was engaged in a business less gen
teel, as he held, than his own. In his
employ was a young Vermonter, who
felt highly elated when one day man
from his native town who was visiting
the city called on him. The man was
somewhat crude in his manners, but
he had piled up a fortune in the tin
ware business and in buying up at a
discount in times of panic commercial
paper which he believed was good.
The youth introduced the Vermonter
to his employer.
"What business are you in?" asked
the dry goods prince as the two shook
hands.
ssThe tinw-a-a-r business" drawled
the yermonter.
Without word the dry goods mer-
chant turned on his heel and bolted
into his private office. He didn't rec
ognize tinware merchants as desirable
acquaintances.
Hold on a minute, Mr.. -" shouted
the vermonter after the retreating fig
ure. "Are these here things goin' to
be paid when they fall dueT
From his wallet the Vermonter drew
several slips of paper, which he held
up to the dry goods merchants face.
The merchant glanced at them and eff
fusively babe the vermonter welcome
to his private office. The papers were
notes to the extent of $4,000 uttered
by the dry goods merchant and which,
unknown to him, the Vermonter had
bought up at a big discount Brooklyn
