bingham broke all records this veal
in the development work done In th'
district. the number of new mills con-
structed and the amount oil ore SNIP
ped. All work has been done on
giant scale. There has been nothing
small about Bingham. In mining TX
has forged to the front this year as IL
never has before.
A study of the shipments of Bingham
shows that in five years this great
garner house of treasure has sent
10 900. 600 tons of ore to the market III
only 81 ton was netted the companies
it would be an enormous revenue, but
the profit was probably moro than
twice that amount
The Increase in shipments out OF
Bingham this year has been more than
1900 900 tons OF ore. This increase py
itself would be proud figure for any
camp. but Bingham shipped 2.oop,ooo
tons more than that.
While steam shovels have been delving
Into the mountains to add TO the enor-
nous tonnage. tunnels have been run,
thousands of feet of underground work
done and practically three new mills
have been built in the district. Another
was remodeled and its capacity In
creased.
The largest mill built during the year
was that of the Ohio Copper only the
first two units of this big plant. which
is the third one built to treat the low
grade ores OF Bingham, were finished
this year The present plant Will treat
5000 tons of ore a day, but by the end
of next year a second section VIII be
added increasing the capacity to 5000
tons a day.
BUILDS MILL.
The Bingham New Haven property at
the head of Carr fork improved its
property by the addition of a new 150-
ton mill Through some difficulties en-
countered on account of the ground on
which the mill is situated. 1t was not
started until late this year.
Practically a new mill was built dur
ing the year by the UtahApeX COM
pany in Carr Fork. This mill will also
add greatly to the mineral wealth of
Bingham.
During 1909 the Utah Copper company
remodelcd its Copperton mill and in
creased the capacity, This was neces-
sary on account of the poor savings
made In the treatment of ores from
the mine. New machinery was put in
and the capacity was increased from
$50 tons of ore day to 1000 tons daily. |
Mills were not the only things that |
were built and improved during the |
year as the Yampa smelter owned by |
the Tintic Mine & Development COM |
pany, spent close to 100000 during the |
year In improvements so that il Is now |
one of the best equipped plants In the
Throughout the year the Boston Con-
solidated and the Utah Copper COM
panies have been increasing their ton
nages. The latter In particular has
made rapid advancement In steam |
shovel work and at present is practic-
ally using only that means of working |
the property. The Boston Consolidated |
has a wonderful underground system |
OF working as we'll as a good steam
