He was attracted to it by finding a boulder of galena in the gulch below, that weighed nearly a ton. McKearnan and partners are also getting some good ore between the Phonograph ana Old Clipper. Years ago float was found on Clipper hill that assayed ten ounces gold to the ton, and the old Clipper mine gave up some ore that went seven ounces in gold and 600 ounces silver. Clipper hill is all right. Ten carloads of ore left Bingham Tuesday the most that has gone out in any one day for some weeks. Several prominent Bingham properties are likely to change hands this fall as the result of pending negotiations. On Wednesday fifty tons of concentrates of Northern Chief second-clas- s were shipped from the Rogers mill. The Niagara cyanide mill is handing out gold bricks regularly and Colonel Heffron expresses much satisfaction at results obtained. T.

Supplies of ore at the smelters are running low, they will have to make new contracts very soon or shut down. We look for a better market next month, though the permanency of any improvement will depend on influences beyond the immediate needs of buyers. The new Last Chance mill having proved a very gratifying succes, the management has been encouraged to put the mines in connection in shape for future extensive production, and to that end considerable preparatory work is in progress. The lower outlet of the Last Chance mine, known as the Britisli tunnel, is badly caved from long disuse, as is also an upper tunnel on the Last Chance. They are being cleaned out and retimbered, and a new track is being laid in the upper one. The whole group is ultimately to be operated through the British tunnel. Bingham Bulletin. |
