grade ore, and 12,000.0O0 tons of the low
er grade ore, In this body. OF the co.
900. 900 tons of better grade material,
body of 20000,O00 tons is fully devel-
Oped; or, in other words, blocked out,
so that ii can be accurately determined;
20,O00,0Oo tons are partially developed,
that Is to say, developments have gone
far enough TO prove the existence of
this additional quantity of material, but
not sufficiently far to permit of its be-
ing measured and sampled on all sides.
The remaining 20.000,000 of the co.
900. 900 tons is classed as undeveloped.
for the reason that its existence is only
shown by a limited number of work
ings, most of which are diamond drill
holes. In the seventy-two-acre area
under discussion Is a zone of lower
grade ore, averaging about LIS per cent,
and probably containing about 40 000, 600
tons. This zone is entirely undeveloped,
save by the diamond drill holes that
pierce il, but it's existence has been
proven wherever drilling has been done.
The total area of mineralized porphy
ny contained within the boundaries of
the property is about 100 acres, leaving
lightweight acres which are not con-
sidered as in any way developed. al
though portion of the area is known
to contain ore of profitable grades.
The ground to the south and east of
the area shown as developed and par
tally developed, and lying on the south
side of the canyon, also has some posi-
bilities. This is shown by a number of
more or less shallow workings on the
ground, and by work done in the imme-
date vicinity, on contiguous property
Taken as a whole, not to exceed one
half of the total area known to contain
commercial values has been developed.
Possibly not to exceed one-half of the
| Undeveloped portion will prove as high
grade as the portion already developed,
but it is likely that most of the unde-
veloped area will contain values that
will show profits in operating in the
future.
There are men in the world who be-
come palSied with fear when mention is
made of any gigantic undertaking that
| will require their supervision, but such
was not the case with the men behind
| the Utah Copper. Instead of tanning
| them, the proposition awoke all of their
/ engineering skill and executive ability
1 and set these to work on the solution of
/ the problem. They have demonstrated
/ to the mining world that the immense
! l0w-grade bodies of ore in the Bingham
/ district can be mined and milled at a
I handsome profit. providing the proper
I
| ually, with the steady onward progress
/ that comes with determine ton, SINGER
| ity and working practical knowledge
/ of the mining business, the men behind
/ the Utah Copper have developed what
was a number of scattered mining
/ claims into what is considered today by
the experts to be one of the most i'm
/ portant properties in the world.
/ Whenever a mining company opens
I Gus, and the news becomes known to
I the outsiders, the mining papers
! throughout the country comment upon
the showing, and experts, If the PROPOSE
| ton is OF enough moment, come flock
| ing in to see the ground. Times with
out number has this occurred to the
/ Utah Copper. until the news has been
| carried to every portion of the civilized
world. Men of unquestioned standing
in the geological, metallurgical and min
ing world have visited the property and
pronounced it a marvel. and an evolu-
ton in the mining business. This is
not to be wondered at when it is I'M
derstood that the underground work
ings are beyond comparison as far as
| the management and equipment is con-
! cerned. The systematic development
and scientific prospecting of the prop
erty have brought TO light ore bodies
| that are almost beyond belief Men
who are noted for their conservative
opinions have estimated that the ore of
the companys property will make a re-
turn of profit amounting to s250,O0O,-
| 600.
Much of the solidity, prosperity and
success OF the Utah Copper company is
| due TO its management So conserVa-
| tive, steady and worthy of emulation
have been the methods of those be-
hind the Utah Copper that it occupies a
| place at the top which is all of its own
and is looked up TO by those who are
associated with it in the copper indus
| try of the country.
At the head of the company is c. NJ
MaeNeill of Colorado Springs who has
been president of the United States Re-
duction & Refining company for years
But it is TO Daniel C. lacking, vice
president. general manager and chair
man of the executive committee. that
the greatest credit is due.

school in Missouri he was always inter

twelve years ago he came to the state
