THE BINGHAM NEW HAVEN.

Among the big dividend payers Of
the past year has been the Bingham
New Haven Copper * Gold property,
a company which for the past two
years. in fact, has proven worthy of
all confidence placed in ii by the men
who have backed the development
work of the claims with their capital
and brains.
The property jumped into the divi-
dend-paying class early in 1908. ana
has steadily increased in value, until
today there are few properties shOv-
ing a more substantial gain. There is
every prospect that the pTopek-y VIII

about what there was in the properly.
This has been the most prosperous
year in the history of the company, not
only because the dividends have come

Fourteen miles west of Salt Lake, on
the line of the San Pedro, Los Angeles
* Salt Lake and the Western Pacific
railroads, is the twO-year-Old copper
smelter and mill town of Garfield,
named after the famous old bathing re-
sort on the shores of the Salt lake, a
few miles beyond The place now has
a population of about 1000 people, and
supports three hotels, a general store
and numerous private boarding houses.
There are about 100 dwelling houses and
cottages of neat design in the place
which is designed as a hcme town for
the employees of the mammoth smelling
and milling works of the three compa-
MES which own all the stock in the
townsite company. 1t is a model little
city in every respect and, as the smell
ter works are enlarged and the capaci-
ties of the great milling plants are in
creased, as they are sure to be as the
years roll by, the town will grow to
much larger proportions. The sale Of
liquor is restricted, and there are no
bawdy houses or tough resorts of any
kind within its limits. The town was
built for a double purpose, one to en-
coura ge a high class of labor to seek en-
ployment at the various works, and the
other to protect the community against
the inroads OF professional crooks and
grafters, strife-breeders, thugs and
buns. It is intended as a community
of respectable, honest people, and the
aim is TO make and keep it such.
The Garfield TOWnsite company and
the Garfield WaterWorks company is
owned and differed by the Garfield

company and the Boston Consolidated
company. jointly, and the lands of

VIII Advertise Park CITY.
E. P. JENNINGS.
Mining Engineer.

In state and country where there
are perhaps more expert mining engi-
neers than in any other part of the
United States or of all America, a man
who can rise above the rank and file
OF his profession and become recog-
'nized as one of the really big men of
the line is about as surely made as men
get nowadays.
There is no other place in the world
where a man has to stand on merit
alone as he does in the western mining
world, particularly if that man pro-
fesses TO be a mining engineer. West
ern miners and the stockholders Of the
big operating companies are generally
pretty skeptical as to a mans ability
to 'see under ground" very far until
he shows what he is made of few
times and in an unmistakable manner.
The west and particularly the inter-
mountain country eeptering about salt
Lake is full of mining men who are
examples of what mining schools do
and do not do for the aspiring mining
engineer. There are scores of engi-
neers throughout the country who to-
day show what The school of practical
does for the would-be min
ing engineer. OF such school and
such a man is E. P. Jennings, l0l Mer-
camille building. Salt Lake City, Utah.
There is no better mining engineer IN
the western country than Mr.. Jennings.
He is recognized as one of the most
practical, one of the surest and safest
experts that ever went down a shaft.
He has made a reputation for himself
Of which any man might well be proud,
so extensive is its scope and reach.
From Newfoundland to the Pacific
coast and from Alaska to Mexico. Mr.. |
Jennings has put foot in practically /
every great mining property that in the |

these corporations surround it for miles
on all sides. WaterwOTks. electric
lights and all modern conveniences are
at the disposition of the residents, and
the town is rapidly becoming a popular
little place in which TO reside.
One of the accompanying half-tone
pictures shows the mammoth 2.000-ton
copper smelling works of the Garfield
Smelling company, one of the subsi-
diary companies of the American
Smelling & Refining company, that has
cost something like S9,090,000 to date.
1t is now handling about 1000 tons of
crude ore and concentrates per day,
and a force of 1000 men is EMPLOYED.
The capacity of the works is being
built up and, within a few months. ii
will be able to handle 1000 tons a day.
Another picture shows the 6QUD-ton
milling plant of the Utah Copper com
pany. one OF the biggest copper ore
dressing plants in the world, which is
now running at about tWO-thirds ca
paclty, with other sections being
brought into commission as RAPIDLY as
circumstances will permit This milling
plant, with its magnificent electric
power plant, its pumping station, ma
chine shops and other buildings covers
ground space of approximately ten
acres. and everything about the works
suggests all that the company has
claimed, namely, that the works were
being built to stand the test of time.
General Manager D. c. Jackling states
that when the period of construction is
over the Utah Copper company will be
able 10 operate its mines, mills and
power plants, all of them, with a force
OF approximately 1000 men. The COM

The company has had several large
projects on its hands during the past
two FEARS and have cleaned them all
up in most satisfactory manner. The
heaviest piece of work accomplished
was the completion of the trdmway Il
work that meant a reduction in tn,
cost of transportation of more than 40
per cent, and which increased the ship
ping facilities about 30 per cent. The
tramway is $500 feet long and brings
the ore almost TO the tracks Of the
railroad. The result has been that tn.
increased ore shipments have been
quickly and economically handled.
During the year the company has
looked after the comfort of the men
with great care, and several new cot
tages have been erected near the miun

The property of the company consists
of twenty-five claims at the head 0f

is controlled by New Haven CAPITALISTS

with a view to again Tesuming the pay
ment of dividends, which were discon-
| tinued about the first of the present
year. The mine, according to those in
authority, is looking finer and under
the management of Superintendent Bur
rell great bodies of ore have been de-
Veloped. AT the present time the COM
pany is working at the installation of
the electric motor for transportation
of ores to the mill of the company. It
was found necessary to take up con-
siderable of the bottom in the tunnel
in order that the motor might be in
stalled and this necessitated almost a
retlmbering Of the entire tunnel 1t is
now expected that on January ] the
ten-ton motor will make its first trip
and from that time on the ores and
waste for the property will be handled
at minimum of expense as the power
will be made by the water from the
tunnel, and the same machinery will
serve to run both motors and mill.
Will Try for Zinc Values.
The shipments of the property during
the year have been as great as during
1906, when dividends were paid, but
owing to decreased prices in metals
and the improvements above mentioned
there have been NO payments. Zinc in
the ores has been a detriment to the
Daly-Judge for a Score of years and
several times promises and threats have
been made to establish a plant to work
the ore. However, attempts have failed
at different times to produce the de-
sired quality of concentrates after
treatment, and as a result there have
been no definite attempts TO handle the
zinc product On October l the Grass
ELI Chemical company. a st. Louis
concern, after thorough tests of the ores
OF the Daiy-Judge and other zinc pro-
ducers of the town, determined TO es-
tablish plant in Park City and ac-
cordingly went about the construction
of the buildings, etc. At this writing
a good-sized building is completed. and
as soon as the specially designed ma
chinery can be got on the ground and
set, the work of handling the dump of
the Daly-Judge will be begun IL is |
stated by the Daly-Judge management !
that the ore will run about 20 per cent
zinc, and with the values now being
had for the metal it is certain that the |
zinc plant can be run at a ~profit An |
other advantage which the new plant |
will have over all other attempts at /
handling the ore will be that the new
process handles the ores by dry process
and heat This is, according to experts
n the line, the successful way of treat
ne the Park City ores as they carry
such an amount of iron that other proc
ssses fail. The new plant will be in
operation about the first of February.
OF the American Flag little can be
aid except that they have shipped

the reports furnished by the health de-

After having shipped 81, 255 tons of
ore during the past twelve months. the
year 1907 goes into history at Park
City as one of the leanest periods since
the opening of mines here. For many
reasons things have been rather on
the go-back, but OF late the old spirit
has taken possession again, and it is
promised that the future will be bright
er than even the brightest years in the
past. Several things have initiated
against the town during the past year,
principal amongst which was the unrest
which seemed to prevail amongst the
laboring men, and the general feeling
OF lack of confidence manifested not
only by the mining operators, but also
by the merchants and business men
generally of the camp. The fact too.
that the Ontario tunnel remained closed
after the hardest kind of work for its
recovery on the part of the management
was a discouraging feature which
would not down, as all who are at all
familiar with the conditions of Park
City knew the absolute necessity for
the. opening Of the waterway and how
vitality it affected the mining industry
of the camp.
Silver King Coalition Mines Co.
on the other hand, there have been
several things which have done not
a little for the future of the camp, chief
of which was the consolidation of the
Silver King and the various properties
north and west Of the King into the
Silver King Coalition Mines company,
the absorbing of the Ontario and DAILY
bv the Bamberger interests, and lastly,
the determination of Jesse Knight TO
take a chance in this locality, and the
subsequent formation of the Treasure
Hill company, which included the Ken
lucky and Creole claims Another fea-
ture which. while not Of such impOr-
lance perhaps. was the determination
of the Graselh Chemical company to !
operate in Park City, and thereby give |
an opportunity TO the Daily Judge and !
other zinc-prOducing properties of the |
camp to market a portion of their |
nroduct which heretofore has been put /
over the dump. Taken on the whole |
then the events redOunding in good for |
the camp greatly OvershadOw those
which initiated against the progress Of
Park city, and it takes no great OPP
timist to see a bright future for the
camp.
Like all mining camps, Park City has
its reliable producers. and anything
which i'm any way affects any of these
properties affects the entire community.
In Park City the properties which may
be considered the producers of the place
are the Silver King Coalition, DAILY
West. which includes the Ontario and
DAILY: Daly-Judge and the American
Flag.
What Happened to the Silver King.
Some time in 1906 suit was begun by

/ James MCGTegor and others against the

| some time in the preparation for a suit.
ana then 1t was given out that a propO-
sItion had been made to settle. 1t later
developed that deal was being pushed
by the owners of the King for a sale
of their property and later still came
the word that the company had finally
decided to settle upon terms which were
agreed upon, and that in a short time
the properties which We're in the suit
would be taken into a proposed con-
Solidation. The entire holdings of Nc
GregOr and his associates and the hold
ing of the Keith. Kearns, Belmont,
Odin. Crescent, Alliance and seVera1
smaller properties were absorbed. and
in June of this year the deal was closed
and the papers filed for the incorpora-
ton Of the new company. The company
was formed with the old company
officers at the helm, and while it is
given out that there were other inter
estS in the property, the old manage
ment held at the beginning and now
holds all the responsibility for the op-
Grafton of-the new company. At the
present time the company is paying
dividends on the capitalization of u per

they continue to ship and that a full

an evidence that the mine is a paying

Ulntah Treasure Hill. This property
had made a sparkling showing for a
short time, and then through bad man.

property retired into the background.
and it was through that the the end
was come. The fact, too, that a for
