One of the greatest transformations
which have come about in the develop
ment of the mines OF Bingham district
is that of the Yampa mine 1t has
made proportionately greater strides
than any of the other mines in the dis
trtct. The service of the workings has
been improved, and a general new lease
of life, or rather the injection of a new
toxin that has rejuvernated the entire
property, has taken place
This housekeeping campaign has heen
conducted under the able management
of Charles w. Saxman. the general
manager of the Tintic Mining & DeveI-
opment company. which owns the Yam

Newhouse mines, the Imperial and
other properties OF Beaver county
should be heavy contributors to the
worlds output of copper during 1909.
The Newhouse mines have, of course,
been making copper all through the
year now closing, but the Mountain
Lake, at the head of Big Cottonwood,
and the Imperial. with its large estate
adjoining the Cactus, are counted as
new mines and both, if things move
right, should be heard from in a sub
stantial way. 1t is hardly necessary 10
and Utah Copper will do Both are
going to make new records. without a
doubt. and so is the Yampa and other
Bingham mines, while the Utah Con-
solidated viii likely run along as at
present until the completion OF the new
smelter that is to treat its ore is COM
pleted about fifteen months hence.
In all of the camps where lead and

which had treated the ore matter OF the
Yampa smelter was forced TO close
down, Mr.. Saxman Immediately solved
what seemed at first to be a difficult
problem for the company in the pro-
ducing of its metal by having a convert
ing plant added to the smeiter OF the
company.
Then, again, as a safeguard against
any of the accidents which at times
prove almost disastrous to large con-
Germs like the Tintic Mining & Develop
ment company. the steam power which
was in the mine and the smelter was
supplemented by electrical power with
machinery of the most modern type in
all of the different parts of both the
mine and the smelter.
Altogether there has been spent dur
ing the past year in the improvement
and development of the resources of the
company's properties approximately
$500, 000 At the smelter three new
roasters have been installed. They are
of the latest type Of machinery, and are
capable of handling the ore in quicker
and easier fashion, because of the cleo
v
more smoothly.
Among the other Improvements in the
smelter during the past twelve-month
have been a reverberatory, a blast fur
mace. converter plant, blowing engine
for blast furnaces, electric locomotive
ore bins and stack.
The haulage tunnel of the company
has been Strengthened and improved
an electrically driven compressor and
six and one-half-inch air pipe line in
stalled, and triple compartment shaft
sunk 200 feet. There are other numer-
Gus incidentals which have been done
in connection with these vast improve
ments which will give an idea of the
general transformation which has come
over the workings and property Of the
company In the past year
Because of these Improvements at the
snelter IL will not be long before the
company will be in a position to ham
die 1000 tons of ore a day from the
mines. The furnaces have been using
up about 700 tons day lately, from
which yield of 100000 pounds a month
of metallic copper has been produced
The smelter has now in service nine
roasting, three reverberatory and three
blast furnaces.
Perhaps equal in Importance to
these improvements has been the cam
paign of deep mining which has been
inaugurated by the company Most of

The New Zinc Plant.
For many years the question Of what
was to be done with the ore which could
not be handled by the system Of milling
done in Park City has greatly worried
local operators, all of whom realize that
each year a great loss is being expert
enced by them and that something must
ne done. All of them figured that none
of the first grade ore was being lost
but they realized that a large percentage
of zinc. and some copper and lead was
being lost in the handling of second class
ores by the methods in vogue.
The question was at once solved when
a test of the Park City ores was made
by a process introduced by the GrascsH
Chemical company in experimental
works. The returns from the trial were
en- Favorable that the owners Of the pro-
cess were encouraged by the Park City
mining men to go ahead and put up a
plant. This was done, and the works
are now successfully running on DAILY

paign of deep mining began. triple
Commandment shaft has been sunk,
which is now down TO the 200 level Il
is the intention of Mr.. Saxman TO sink
this shaft 1000 feet, which will make
vertical depth of $500 feet for the mine
when the shaft is completed.
While the shaft is down only 200 feet
at present, enough has been shown by
the development thus far 10 convince
the management that the Yampa ore
bodies viii continue in richness and
size as the depth is attained. The in
creased production of the upper levels
will be continued at the some time that
the sinking is in progress.
Tampa mine is destined TO be one OF
the great sulphide copper mines Of the
country If the present vast improve
ments are kept UP and the favorable
signs of great ore bodies are realized
The Yampa ore bodies are among the
largest opened at Bingham. They av
erage thus far a little better than per
cent copper, and from 81 to $3.50 a ton
in gold. The gold taken from the ore
pays for the mining. as the company
now has its smelter with a capacity Of
100 tons a day,

with its mine in the Tintic district as
soon as possible. A deep shaft will be
sunk from the tunnel level, which is
now the basis of the workings OF the
mine. and is three miles in length. The
shaft will be sunk $500 feet.
Besides these valuable properties the
company owns three copper mines and
a smelter in the Vancouver country,
British Columbia, where 1t is contem-
plated erecting a new mill and another
smelter.

pers to trim down consignments or
cease shipping altogether, il was be-
lieved conditions would soon right
themselves. In this the smelling COM
pany and everybody else has been mis-
taken, and the great works today are
running at about hale capacity. The
low price of metals and the company's
declinatiOn to give rates that were con-
sidered equitable and just by producers
has resulted in most of the mines hold
ing back the ore.
This condition has not applied to the
Garfield copper smelling works. Here
il has never yet been possible 10 handle
all the ore and concentrates that were
available. Many changes have had to
be made in the smelter, and many are
still being made. For the past several
weeks, however. the plant has been do
ing better and a greatly increased ton
mage has been reduced to bullion. Be-
fore the winter is over IL is expected
that the mammoth Garfield plant will
be able to do everything it was orig

trouble. II is a magnificent plant, and
it ought soon to be made one of the
most efficient copper-making enter
prises in the world.

the ores from the knight mines might
be treated, is poisoning out into a

The Mining Stock Exchange.
1t would be unfair and unjust to close
this review without reference to the ac-
complishments of the Salt Lake Stock
& Mining exchange during the year just
drawing to a close. Last year the in
stitution surrendered its charter as an
incorporated body and became a plain
association. New laws and rules were
adopted and experts in the stock ex-
change business today admit that no
institution of similar character IN the
world is run on better lines. Seats are
now worth around $4,000, and the board
of governors express the opinion that
they will bring $1,000 during the year
to come. The past years business OF
the exchange has been the largest In its
history. and while other exchanges in
the country have seen business drop to
practically nothing. and have seen
prices of their listed securities go glim-
mering at the same time. the local ex-
change has witnessed several bulges IN
the market and has seen prices hold 80
strong, in the aggregate. that no one
has had reason to complain.
A few months ago the exchange was
presented with building site by Sam
uel Newhouse, in his new skyscraper
section of the business district, and the
board of governors, with the concur
renee of the membership, has just au-
thoriZed the issuance of $4,000 worth of
bonds to be applied to the erection of
a fine home for the exchange. Work
has already started. or should be by the
time this paper is issued, and the new
quarters will be ready for occupancy
during the coming twelve months The
local exchange is now recognized as a
powerful ally in the building up of the
mining industry because of the strict
business principles that the rules of the
institution exact of the membership.

The year is now rapidly drawing to a close and is in most pleasing contrast to the situation twelve months ago." says Henry Clews in his current financial review. Then we were n the depths of despair and suffering from the consequences of disaster. Now the outlook Is bright and a saner, more hopeful spirit pre- yails everywhere. Big strides have already been made on the road to re- covery, and our chief danger is that of going too fast. Prudence and mod eration are still supremely necessary in financial as well as industrial and commercial operations. The lessons of the panic are still vivid in recOllec- tion."
 Speaking of the stock market, how ever, he says: The market is still in the firm grip of the most power full and resOurceful manipulatOrs the market has ever seen.
