QUITS HIGHLAND BOY.
Il. j.. Williams, Jr., Goes to Bamberger
Mines as General Superintendent.

Announcement has been made of the
resignation of Farley L. Williams, Jr.,
as superintendent of the Utah Con-
solidated mine at Bingham which posi-
tion he has very creditably filled since
1901. He leves the Bingham mine on
February I.
Sometime ago Mr.. Williams was ten
dered more lucrative position by Ern-
est Bamberger, under whose MANAGE
ment the Daily West, Ontario, DAILY and
Naildriver properties at Park City; the
Witch at Ely, and other Nevada proper
ties are being operated. Mr.. Bamber-
ger has SO many things to look after
now that the need OF an assistant be-
came apparent; so the position of gem
eral superintendent was created. Mr..
Williams will receive a salary consid-
erably above what he has been getting
from the Utah Consolidated.
On Saturday evening the employees of
the Highland Boy mine gave Mr.. Will
liams farewell banquet at the High
land Boy club rooms. The retiring SUI
lperintendent was presented with q
silver mounted shotgun as a token of
the high esteem in which he is held by
the employees. Each one present re-
ceived a souvenir of the occasion, made
of Highland Boy copper and bearing
the inscription. Up. l.. Williams, Jr.,
