BINGHAM MARKER DEDICATION SET FORJIONDAY The man for whom Bingham was named never shared m the fabulou-; wealth yielded by one of the world's greatest mining centers. But his name will be perpetuated in a marker to be unveiled Monday ut 7 p.m. by the Utah Pioneer Trails and Landmarks Assn. honoring the Utah mining industry. It was in 1848, just a year after he arrived in Salt Lake valley with one of the first pioneer companies, com-panies, that Erastus Bingham and his two sons established a herd ground on the grassy slopes of what is now Bingham Canyon. One day while herding their cattle they stumbled on some ore bearing rock. They dug prospect holes and found more of the precious prec-ious material. Bingham reported to the pioneer pio-neer leader, Brigham Young, and was advised not to engage in mining himself or spread the word around of what he had found. The entire energies of the settlers were needed to build homes and raise crops; mining could wait. Dutifully, Bingham returned to the scene of his find arid covered up the prospect holes, hol-es, probably intending at some later date to return. Next year the Bingham family moved to Weber county where they established Bingham'b Fort, just north of Ogden. They never returned to Bingham canyon, where later was developed the world's largest open cut copper mine, as well as mines for the extraction of other types of ore. The unveiling of the marker Monday evening will be the principal prin-cipal event in Utah's observance of the mining centennial of the American Pioneer Trails Assn., which is sponsoring ceremonies in the western mining states, according ac-cording to John D.
