Consolidated Mining com company corn pany has played an Important art In Inthe Inthe the development of the copper industry in Utah It has been a pioneer in the finding and development ot of the vast deposits of copper ores lit at Bingham I and In solving the problem ot of their treatment This work has served the double purpose of enrichIng the tock stock stockholders holders and of demonstrating the pos poe of greatest camp It has been a leader not only In the mag magnitude magnitude of its operations but In earning profits which have now been regularly distributed for several years And when it Is remembered that the dividends annually distributed reach the munificent cent sum of the importance of this work can best be realized The rhe mine is situated at the head ot of Bingham canyon
