Show BINGHAM BULLETIN NOTES The Last Chance Mine Ontlook For the AIsiiuo Aulo On visiting the new Last Chance mill yesterday a Bulletin reporter saw It running without a hitch and with eery indication that it will prove a fine success overcoming obstacles which have in the past made the concentration concentra-tion of Last Chance ores l difflculuv if not losing proposition A grinding pulverizer similar to the arrastra in I operation reduces the ore to the fineness of flour and defies I its tenacious clogging which paralyzed the former mill The plant includes six improved frue vanners and their products look unusually promising The mill as at present arranged has about 50 tons daily capacity I started ed up Wednesday afternoon and is running run-ning on mixed ore that was in the bin Hereafter it is to be supplied from the Hooper mine one of the Last Chance group and i results are satisfactory will be run from now on to its full capacity ca-pacity The mine will be worked from the 600 level and an estimate of ore blocked out places it at over 100000 tons The old Last Chance the product pro-duct of which Is estimated at 1500000 was worked through what is known as I the British tunnel which is 4000 feet long and passes through the mountain This tunnel is now pretty badly caved and nothing will be done with it for the present In the event of current operations opera-tions being satisfactory largely depending de-pending on the lead market the big tunnel will be put in shape and both the Last Chance and Hooper operated through it Charles J Hodge principal owner of the Last Chance property arrived from Houghton Mich on Wednesday and will remain here until it is determined whether the property can be made to pay at the present starvation rate for lead He Is conservative and will not let what the outfit ought to do get away with his judgment but will shut down at once when satisfied there is nothing to be gained by running at this time tme A favorable augury is that the new mill happens to be called the Bryan Process BRIGHT OUTLOOK AT THE ALAMO Developments at the Alamo in Can Fork continue to be of the most favorable character I will be remembered remem-bered that the vein now being worked was last spring accidentally exposed by a cave I Is about 200 feet from the mouth of the tunnel which had been driven 735 feet The lessees Henry Buhring B B Jones and Otto Ilif are now sinking and raising and have a twofoot pay streak exposed above and belowthe latter giving up the richest ore About ten tons are in the bin and a shipment will be made in a few days The ore assays 3720 in gold 7 I to S ounces silver 7 per cent copper and 46 per cent iron The indications are that the boys are in a fair way to make a big stake and if our best wishes will help them out they will need sideboards to carry it Patent Surveys Ordered The surveyor general has ordered the making of mineral surveys a follows No 3289 for the Harker lode in Tin tic district
