company plans TO operate. The group

Sterling Is Active.
Active work at the Sterling mine is
being carried on at present by crew
of men under the direction Of Alex
Murphy. For the last two months the
men have been drifting On well de-
fined vein, and have cut into good
sized ore body of workable ore. With
approximately 600 feet cut in the main
tunnel, the owners believe that suff-
Gent depth has been gained into the
hill to make increased DEVELOPMENT
practical within the near future. At the
present time numerous cuts are being
made across the vein with the expecta,
ton of locating a large body Of ore.

MONT ANA BINGHAM
TUNNEL FACE IN ORE
No Assays Yet Made, but APP.
pears to Carry Good Cop
per Values.

Word received by telephone from
Bingham yesterday afternoon was to
the effect that nearly the whole face OF
the Montana Bingham tunnel was then
in ore In tho Bingham Amalgamated
ground.
Stripgers of ore have been encount-
cred for several days, but the change
which spread the ore over almost the
entiro face took place yesterday. While
of course no assays have been made as
yet, the ore appears to carry good COP
per values.
This new avenue will traverse Bing-
ham Amalgamated ground for over 5000
feet and will cut the formation 1000
feet on tho dip lower than its lowest
workings on the first vein encountered
and about 1900 feet lower on the back
vein on which the Bingham Amalga-
mated has done the most work and from
which most Of its shipping ore Has
come. Water compelled q suspension OF
operations in these workings at depth
Of 600 feet.
Two other veins outcrop between the
two above mentioned, but the only
work ever done on them has been lit

Victoria Looking Well.

During the past few days the Victoria
stock has been steadily advancing and
this has resulted in the circulation OF nu-
merous rumors. AS near as lt Is pos
sible TO learn there has been no inapor
tant change in the underground workings
Of the mine, but il is generally understood
among local people that the property is
looking better than at any time In the
past two years. The mine is shipping no
more ore than usual but the careful
handling Of the output is bringing the
values up considerably. Within the next
week or two Superintendent Shea will
probably be ready to send out three cars
Of unusually rich ore, one carrying cop
per, the other gold and the third d high
grade lead silver product. These three
cars will fatten up the earnings for Feb
ruary. as the ore should bring between
$4,000 and $4,000 per car.

Grand Central Getting Copper.

Good punches of high-grade copper ore
are now being mined on the deepest level
In the Grand Central mine-the 2VOO-and
there Is the usual good showing on all OF
the levels below the 600 W. ID. Loose,
who Is managing the property states
that no difficulty is being experienced In
keeping the output up TO about two car
loads n day; in fact, IL would be a
very easy matter TO materially increase
this tonnage The 2400 level of the Ora nd
Central, from which splendid grade OF
copper Is now being taken. is reached
by winZe which was sunk nearly zoo
feet below the 2300 level, but water Fills
the bottom Of this winze and II Is now
possible 10 carry on work only TO depth
OF 2400 feet.
In addition to the splendid showing of
shipping ore the Grand Central mine con-
tans an immense tonnage Of the lower
grade rock which In the near future may
be a source Of revenue TO the company.
Colonel G. p. Loose, chief owner In the
nlne has for the past few years been
considering the advisabllity of erecting @
milling plant, and a large number OF tests
have already been made. These tests
nave caused Mr.. Loose to believe that
the Grand Central ore is susceptible TO
some OF the late processes OF milling, and

suits In the successful handling OF the
ore from the knight mines there ls no
question but what a mill OF the same ma :

MUCH INTEREST IN
RAD|U|M MINERALS
Potential Value of a Genuine
Radium Industry Now
Recognized.

Interest in radium- bearing minerals
in the United States has grown rapidly
in the last year Twelve months ago
radium was considered largely Of aca-
demic Importance, but today the po'
teptial value of a genuine radium IN
dustry in this country is recognized,
says Mctallurgical and Chemical Epgl'
neering.
In the light of these facts it is not
surprising that our deposits have. at
tracted the attention Of European buy
ers, and that scientists and government
officials in this country should become
interested in exploiting them in such a
way as to produce first an adequate sup
ply of radium for domestic use, without
undue prejudice to the needs of foreign
countries.
\ proposal on the part Of the govern
ment TO withdraw the Colorado Utah
carnotite deposits from private entry
has precipitated Il storm of criticism
particularly in Denver, against fur:
ther exercise Of federal conservation OF
the states resources.
1t is plainly tho fear of the state
authorities that an act of withdrawal
will result in unnecessary delay in the
final disposition of the lands, and that
4 condition will be created similar to
that which has existed in Alaskan and
western coal lands. There is also n
feeling that more rapid development
will take place under conditions of
free prospecting by individuals than
under governDent supervision and con-
troll
Practically the only persons who can

tie prospecting has been done on per
sonal account. Most OF the work has
been done by paid agents Of the large
companies, and even this has been con
fined to locating claims on which out

portation of radium ore from this coun-
try as 80 produce as soon as possible
an adequate supply for domestic use.
a great deal Of such ore is going
abroad, and one unfortunate feature Of
this is that American users can buy but
little of the radium produced from
their own ores, even at the rapidly ris.
ing speculative prices
1T is a time for cooperation Of the
different interests. All Of the facts
should be considered on their genuine
merits, to the end that this country
may take advantage Of what appears
to be wonderful opportunity.

Wine Going Down.

john Westerdahl superintendent OF the
Tintic Standard property, was in town
the other day and states that the de-
velopment work is going along In good
shape and that the hoisting plant has
given no trouble since the installation
OF the new boiler.
Work at this property Is now confined
10 the Wine. which is following the ore
below the 1000 level but IN the near
future Mr., Westerdahl expects to resume
work in the main east drift During the
brief shutdown for the installation OF the
new boiler the ground sloughed Off some
what near the surface Of the east drift,
and this has made ii necessary TO do con-
sidcra BILE cleaning up.
Superintendent Westerdahl says that
the winze Is now nearly fifty feet below
the 1000 level and that work will con-
iinue until the 100 level is reached, The
ore showing In the Wine is not as good
as II was a few weeks ago. but the rea
son for this Is that the ore Is dipping
