Show Binuiiam Canyon. This mineral district is looming up finely, and the snow has now entirely disappeared from the region of the principal mines. From a friend who returned from Bingham yesterday, we glean the fol-lowirg fol-lowirg concerning the Orphan Boy mine : A shaft has been sunk upon it to n depth of seventy-five feet, on which a drift of sixty-eight feet lias been iuti. The ledpe from the surface augured well, and now at the bottom of the shaft it shows a vein of carbonate carbo-nate ore eiht feet wide, the average assiy of whioh has been $50 in silver and 55 per cent, in galena. There are at this time 200 tons of this character of ore on the dump. |
