V.ilitors Herald : Allow me to remark to you and your many readers that this camp is looming up, and that timea here are bettor at present thnn they have been for two years past. There seems to bo a new class of mining men in camp, and if business continues for tho next six months as it U here now, we will bo able to ship more profit-; able ore than auy of the other mining camps in Utah, which ia saying a! good deal. Joseph E. Gay & Co. have sent Mr. 1 J. P. MiUthell, their ugent, tuiuducc' the jiimp-jrd ot the XurUiurn Light tu I It-.ivu. Tin: ground is pit tun ted. Jn ! a couplo or three weeks a large force j of men under Mr. Mityhell will ho at I work ou it. - -- j Work has been resumed on the Don Pedro. Tb fortunate owners are your townsmen Col. Johnson, Hon. Frank Til ford and Mr. Coving ton, ex proprietor of tbe Salt Lake house. Tho Millet mine, leased by Mr. Geo. A. Jacktioti, has been turning out seme high grado ore, as, in fact, have all of the mines at the bead of main Bingham. We have low-grade and high grade ores up here, and we will have somo thirty or forty jiggers running tbia season to reduce tbe low-grade low-grade dirt and render it fit for the market. ' It has been rumored that the rail- i road company contemplate building a oraccn roaa irom me mourn oi tne cauou to Copper gulch, known as the Bntterfield aide of Bingham canon, and this branch can be supplied with the products of the Yoaemite, Nez Perces, Miner's Dream, Lrad mine, May Flower, Wianebago, Evergreen, Doract aud several other smaller mines tbat could ship 100 tons per month. The Nez Forces baa a drilling machine ma-chine in operatiou, boring into the mountain, and is a success. What we want now ia a new lo-stamp mill, and mine owners here will agree to furnish forty ions of milling ore per day to tbe first one erected. The roada are improving and but, little snow is to be seen, and with the coming of settled fine weather, look out for big things from Bingham. Libert. |
