CUTS ORE BODIES
This Property Promises to Be
One of Bingham'S Lead
ing Mines.

One or the properties OF most prom
ise in the Bingham district right now
is that OF the Montana-Bingham Con-
solidated Mining company, which re-
Gently drove It's 40O-fOOI tunnel through
great body of milling ore over 100
feet thick, with streaks OF high-grade
appearing here and there
one streak on the quartzite footwall
showed the following values: Copper,
Il 30 per cent; silver, 1914 ounces;
gold, so cents. In one place is a four
foot vein running 3 per cent copper
ounces silver and 81 90 gold. An
other large face goes /. sc per cent cop
per, - ounces silver and 81 90 gold
In this ore, as a rule where the cop
per content is high the gold is low,
and vice versa The biggest and best
but some OF the richest are found in
the contacts between the quartZite and
lime, and making on the quartZite foot
wall
Splendid Physical Condition.
w T.. Hubbard. manager OF the
Montana Bingham, has returned from
an inspection Of the property this
week. and brings back some beautiful
samplY OF high-grade recently en-
Countefed in various places in the prop
erty. He is very much pleased with
the physical condition OF the mine. The
face OF the main tunnel was then in
loW-grade ore.
The Montana Bingham properties
consist OF the Puritan and Eddie
groups of patented claims, adjoining
the Starless mine. owned by Colonel f..
\. Wall. and only 100 feet from the
Utah Copper mine. The company also
has options on adjoining valuable min
eral ground, also on surface ground
giving ample dumpage and an excellent
mill site.
The Quinn fissure, the main copper
bearing fissure in Bingham runs
through the Boston Con, the Utah Cop
per- the StaTless and through the CEN
Hsara .HaHH
The upper tunnel Of the Eddie group
of the Montana bingham has been
driven along this fissure about 400 feet
in length, a cross-cut runs 10 the east
see feet and an incline TO the west
sixty feet; both cross-cut and incline
are in iOW-g grade copper ore, carrying
some gold and silver. sixty feet OF
this ore runs from ? 10 t-lO per cent
copper. making a good milling ore, sim

Starless ores.

bingham Is Great.
Bingham is undoubtedly one of The
greatest, il not the greatest, copper dis
trict ia the world It's ores usually
carry good values in gold and silver.
Ii looks favorable FOR the Montana

bodies OF ore in the entire Bingham dis

OF the lower tunnel The railroad COM
Iany will build "a siding so ore can be
run on tunnel level and dumped into
the ears. Also ore cars can be run 10
the mill site, only 200 feet distant, and
dumped into top OF mill and every
thing worked b. gravity. This should
make very econ 0mical mining and mill
