BINGHAM CON. SHELTER
Is NOW FOR SALE

President James P. Greaves of the
Bingham Mines company, the company
which has taken over the Bingham Con-
sOlidated and the Eagle x Blue Bell
has reached Boston from his recent trip
OF inspection to the properties and while
he had nothing to say in Salt Lake. he
is credited with having made the follow
ing statement on his arrival at the east
ern offices OF the company:
The mining equipment of the Bing-
ham Consolidated Mining company is in
excellent condition and operations could
be resumed at an hours notice The
leasers. who have been working on the
Eagle & Blue Bell properties for sew
eral months, have opened up what | con-
slider some pretty fair ground, and /
gave instructions before | left for the
east to put as many leasers on the
property as possible. not only at the
Eagle q Blue Bell, but at the Dalton &
as rapidly as possible. These ieasers work
on a sliding scale basis, the company re-
ceiving from p to 50 per cent of the value
of the ore after smelling charges
when the property of the Bingham
Consolidated is finally turned over to
the Bingham Mines company which will
probably be done in the course of a cou-
pie of weeks. steps will then be taken
to operate the property directly by the
new company and work by the leasers
will be terminated.
1.-THE smelter on the property, costing
about $4,000 and which has been closed
down for some months, is now in the
market for sale, but 1t is unlikely that
the proceeds will exceed 10 per cent of
the cost"

NEW SHIPPER IN
BEAVER COUNTY
Beaver Carbonate Has Full
Face of Ore and Initial Ship
ment Is Being Prepared.

Superintendent John Westerdahl was
up from the Beaver Carbonate COM
pany's property yesterday. He states
that the strike made few days ago is
improving right along; that he now
has a full face of ore in the drift that
has been extended thirty feet since the
ore was tapped.
1t is not all clean, first-class ore"
said Mr. Westerdahl. when found in
consultation with Manager Grant Sny-
der yesterday, but it sorts easily to a
fine commercial product We will have
a shipment ready within few days.
There is quite a distance yet to run be-
fore we may expect to get into the
shoot that makes down from the old
time workings in the property. Whether
the ore We are now in is a part of the
old shoot or an entirely separate and
distinct one, is something that develop
ment alone can determine, but it don't
matter much what it is. The chief
thing of interest is the fact that we
have the ore. and that it is making
better all the time
superintendent Westerdahl states
that not enough water is making in
the mine to bother at all; in fact. he is
glad to have to run the pump two or
of water for the boilers. He takes no
particular stock in the reports to the
effect that the old portion of the mine
was so full of water that it could not
be controlled. He is of the opinion that.
in the days when the old part of the
mine was producing, the facilities
for handling water We're so limited and
crude that it did not require much of it
to get the better of the miners He
also expresses the opinion that if there
was large quantity of water in the
old workings. they have so badly caved
and closed up that the new shaft
workings will never be flooded by
them. If this had not been the case,
he thinks the new workings which, al
though several hundred feet farther
along the strike of the ledge, would
have felt the effects of ii before now on
account of the additional depth at
which the ledge is opened in the new
shaft. He is expecting to make rat
Ting good mine through the present
plan of development.
