To inspect the power plant in which
Mr.. Hayden is interested, Saturday

Sunday at Bingham and Garfield.
Chino Copper.
There is nothing particularly new
but We found things generally max
ing satisfactory progress. At the Chino
they are getting along well, and the
foundation is nearly complete for the
mill. 1 look TO see them commence
erecting the steel by the end OF the
month. ThRze steam shOvels are al
work at Chino stripping. The devel-
Opments at Chino exceed 10000, goo
tons Of ore, as indicated by our regu-
lar system of calculations. with some
aC ditiOnal ore partially developed
bringing this up to 100000 tons.
Ray Consolidated
AT the Ray Consolidated We are
getting some machinery in the mill
The steel work is about completed on
the power plant. The development
work there is going on in the usua
way. In the course of development
work they are putting about 1000 tons
of ore a day on the stock pile and
100 600 tons are ready for the smelter
This is taking out only what is neces-
sary in the course Of developments
pending the time of starting the plant
in February.
iami-InspiratiOn.
AT Miami and Inspiration they
have made extensive developments in
the past year, during which time
have not visited those properties. In
that time the Inspiration company has
developed a very large tonnage, and
it Will no doubt be one of the impOr-
Jant pOrphyry mines Of the country.
Nevada Con.
AT the Nevada Consolidated things
are moving along as usual. with moth
ing new TO report. The regular equip
ment is in operation, however.
