THE YAMPA SHELTER.
One of the greatest changes IN tho
smelter situation of tho state was tho
closing of the Yampa plant at Bing-
ham. owned by the Tintic Mining & De-
velopment company. During 1909 tho
company spent in the neiEhborhood OF
$500, 900 In remodcling and re-cqulpp!ng
tho plant The smclter continued to
handle n little over 500 tons of ore a
day until Sept. /. this year, when, on
account of the low price of copper and
a chance to advantageously dispose of
its ore. the plant was closed.
The Ynmpa smelter has capacity
Of 1900 tons of ore day and Is one or
tho best equipped In the state. Al
though 1t has been closed down, 1t Is
not to be dismantled. The motors and
machinery have been wrapped and
everything put in condition to start OPP
erations at u moments notice. A small
force of men Is at work at the plant
keeping things In shape.
During the year the company chang
ed management. Charles A. Pringle,
who succeeded c. a. SaXman. resigned
on Oct. !. to go to San Francisco,
where he has entered business for him

ham, so as to be close to the mine. Y.

George Kent. general foreman. and
Frank Holloway, chief clerk. The Of
flee of the company in Salt Lake Is in
charge Of Il. ]. Donohue, cashier and
purchasing agent.
SHIPS TO GARFIELD.
Prior to shutting down the smolter
the company was handling 500 tons OF
its own ore a day. 1t Is now making
shipments to Garfield. where the ore
replaces the old Highland Boy ore.
Shipments amount to about 400 tons n
day.
The mine Is in excellent condition and
the company has large bodies of cop
per ore blocked out. 1t has also de-
velopcd considerable lead-silver ore.
About 25O men are employed In tho
mine. The closing of the plant threw
about 400 men out of employment.
The company owns Il large number
of valuable claims in the Tintc district
surrounded by such old producers rs
Grand Central Mammoth, Gold Chain.
Sioux Consolidated and many others.
THE TINTIC sN1ELTER.
The Tintic smeltcr at Silver City has
been closed for more than year yet
Uncle" Jesse knight perslstently de-
clares that some day he will again

reduction works. Tho plant Is being
well taken care Of The machinery, al
though standing, has been wrapped.
The plant has been placed In condition
to run tho moment it is decided to
