UTAH APEX AFFAIRS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Despite Extensive Work Done
Real Extent Of New Ore Is
Still Unknown.

Many local people who keep closely In
touch with affairs at Bingham speak very
about the sort OF results
now being gained by the Utah Apex COM
pany. On the main tunnel level the man
agement encountered a new ore body
about six months ago, and IL has been
producing large tonnages daily from IT
ever since, and up to date no real idea
OF the extent Of this resource has been
secured.
"Despite this extensive production"
said one who Is familiar with the COM
pany. in discussing the matter Friday.
'the length, breadth or thickness OF the
orc body have not been determined. One
day bit Of lime may appear 70 pc the
wall or roof, but another round or holes
will disclose ore again. The management
is not attempting TO develop large ton
mage the ore occurs In the lime and II is
far more economical and satisfactory to
mine the ore rather than drive drifts
and crosscuts for the sole purpose OF
blocking out ore. But at the same time
there are two OF three tons disclosed for
each ton extracted.

SUBJECT OF PURCHASE

William Creden, consulting engineer of
the Calumet and Montana Mining COM
pany. ls In the city today, en- route 10
Phoebe. He will examine the properties
his associates recently acquired In that
camp. and inspect the work now being
done, While here he announced the
Calumet and Montana company had just
recently completed the purchase Of forty
acres, two full claims. adjoining the
Alps mine, They are known as the Road :
side Nos. / and claims, and the pur-
chase was made from William Lloyd, one
OF the pioneers of the camp, who has
always regarded them as valuable hold
ings.
When the property was purchased. the
owners decided TO hold II as an invest
ment but recent Investigations have
convinced them that the ground contains
considerable mineral, as the Alps prop
property has produced heavily In former
years, and the Roadside group Is on the
extension of the big f1ssure deposits in
that region, 1t Is situated only couple
of miles from the railroad station, and a
good road to the property makes 1t an
easy matter to set In equipment and sup
plies.
While at Ploche Mr. Creden will let a
contract for sinking q shaft on this prop
erty. the owners having decided to open
Up the ground at once. Tho shaft Will
be sunk at least 200 feet. but
II is expected that ore will be
encountered before that depth Is attained.
The Alps. which adjoins this property,
produced ell Its ore from workings that
were only 800 feet deep. and the new
owners are developing more ore on the
lowest level

YANKEE WILL SHIP
ITS LOW GRADE ORE
Company on Friday Closes In
pOrtant Contract With
Smelling Company.

The uncertainty regarding the dispost-
ton OF the low grade ore dumps OF the
Yankee Consolidated company was done
away with Friday afternoon. when con-
tract was entered into between this COM
pany and the United States Smelling.
Refining & Mining company. by which
the latter will treat the tonnage.
General Manager Il. N, Lehman stated
last evening that the officials for some
time past have been Investigating this
important question. and r. decision lay
between the installation of 4 concentrat-
ing plant TO treat this dump material or
smelling contract Yesterday after~
noon the board OF directors held a meet
ing at which the decision to close the ore
smelling contract was reached.
There are close to Is. 200 tons OF ore In
the dumps which will range In value from
50 TO SIS per ton, carrying silver. lead
and gold. This ore Will be shipped to the
smelter as fast as II can be done. This
fortunate ore contract coming at time
when il Is especially needed by the Yam
lsce should afford a sufficient income to
meet all operating expenses for there
is no question that should the ore av-
eragc as Is to be expected there Will be
no need Of assessments from now on and
for long time TO come.
II Is hoped that the proceeds from this
low grade ore will be instrumental In
opening high-grs orc at depth. TO which
result all the efforts OF the company arc
being bent II is stated that the indicH-
tlons on the 100 foot level at this time
are especially encouraging.
