GOOD CHANGE BY
BINGHAM MINES
Several Companies Carve Their
First Profits Ont of the
Hard Times.
NEW POLICY is ADOPTED
WITH FORTUNATE RESULTS
Idea of Gigantic Tonnage Aban-
dOned in Search for DUAL
ity Instead.

While such propositions as the Utah
Copper company necessarily depend upon
gigantic tonnages with which to meet
dividend requirements, not all Bingham
organizations are capable OF proflting
by following the same line OF endeavor.
which experience has pretty we'll demon
strat tied. The old Bingham Consolidated,
for instance, kept up a steady demand
from its Commercial and other proper
ties for heavy tonnage to keep its smell
ter going. but it lost money. The old
Commercial mine today Is netting q
splendid profit by reducing its daily ton
mage. but shipping a better grade OF
ore.
Another striking instance OF this great
change In Bingham is the fempa. Sew
eral months ago the company was com
PEELED TO shut down It's Bingham smelter
owing TO the low price Of copper and
Ia the additional fact that the mine was
being called upon for greater amount
OF orc than II could well supply. A
tbree-ycar ore contract was entered into
with the Garfield Smelling company.
and the company started shipping at the
-ate OF about $50 tons of ore daily.
II is said by those who have facilities
Tor ascertaining facts that General Man
ager j. w D. Moody: who recently took
charge OF the company, is bringing the
Yampa cut OF It's difficulties splendidy.
His mana nagcment Is not only securing
the very best results from the mine in
the history Of company operations, but
he has wiped out the Indebtedness and
Is making fhe old company one OF the
generous profit accumulators OF the
Bingham camp.
The reduced tonnage now being mar
keted relieves the mine from the unwise
strain 10 which the company smelling
operations subjected II. and the daily
shipments are n! sufficiently satisfac-

NEW BINGHAM ROAD
BUYS LOCOMOTIVES
Line Will Not Be Equipped
With Electricity for the
Time Being.

The mooted question as TO the electri-
fication OF the Bingham e. Garfield rail-
road line. the new road now under
course of construction by the Utah Cop
per interests. was settled Thursday by
General Manager D. c. Jackllng. The
line will not he electrified. at least at
the outset, he stated TO The Tribune.
and several Mallet compound engines
have already been ordered. These To-
comotives are among the most power
full Of their type ever constructed, ey-
actly suited for the task of climbing the
Oquirrhs from the mills to the mines
The road is well advanced and should
be ready for commission on schedule
time; The winter months are being de-
voted mainly to sending the various tun-
nels through the hills, and the coming
warmer weather will line the road with
outside workmen who will make quick
work OF the remainder OF the task.
When completed the line will be not only
one of the busiest roads in the state, but
one of the scenic lines as well.

OPOHONCO PLANS TO
GLORY-HOLE ORES
President Hatfield Tells of
Large Body Now Being
Opened Up.

While the management Of the opo-
hongo company is getting the mine in
shape for large production, sufficient
tonnage is being sent to market TO pro-
vide the funds for mine development:
and a large tonnage is being brought to
view each day. President William Hat
field was In Salt Lake City Thursday
from Provo. and he is very optimistic
in regard TO the future usefulness OF
this well known Tintic property.
The length OF ., our ore Is not on,Gsd yet

and Il will range from five to twenty, ,,

SOCIETY LEADER
 LEAVES PRISON

Leavenworth, Kan, December 3O.-Eiar- ry Morris, former leader of the younger social set of Cleveland, O., left the fed eral prison at Fort Leavenworth today, having completed his sentence of two years less five months allowed for good conduct. Morris was convicted of at tempting to blackmail Mrs. Daniel O, Caswell, widow and millionaire of Cleveland of whom he demanded $20,000 under threat of Kidnapping her two child ren.
 Morris has always laid his conviction to the baneful influences of the hoodoo numbers 13 and 23 of superstition and to the fact that his trial began on Friday, May 13, in his case. The verdict was returned at 23 minutes past o'clock and he was turned into prison May 23. At the time of his trial Morris is said to have been engaged to society girl of Cleve- land who always has been convinced of his innocence. He will enter business with his brother in Cleveland in 1912.
