UTAH METAL WILL
INCREASE ACTIVITY
To Develop Ore Bodies That
Will Be Cut by Long
Tunnel.

Determination TO largely increase the
operations Of the Utah Metal Mining
company was reached during the visit
here of Treasurer W. r.. L. Dulaway
or Boston. Before he left for the east
last night and following an czamina-
tion o. the compauv's Bingham prop
critics. which occupied several days.
DR.. bilIway canvasscd the situation
thoroughly with the C0mnauTs newly
appointed consulting engineer. r. D.
Jennings. and it was a greed that tho
work of developing ore bodies already
opened in two tunnels on the Bingham
side of the range should be undertaken
~ once.
Heretofore the companv's operations
have been confined 90 the driving Of the
1l.o0O-foot transportation. drainage and
mining tunnel. which is 90 be- sent en-
tirclv through the range from the
Toocle side But. IN view Of the fact
that the tunnel has only about $500
feet further 90 he driven 10 place it
under some Of the conpanv's known
ore bodies. 70 a. deemed advisable TO
develop those ore bodies for produc-
ton. The new tunnel will tap the ore
bodies az the depth OF about 900 feet
below the deepest OF the old workings
and about 1900 feet from the surface.
AR. Dillaway expressed the utmost
satisfaction with the progress which is
being made with the companv's work
