Show current comment on utah 5 mines and prospects there is nothing flashy connected with mining operations in utah for heavy operators are not mining in the newspapers but are devoting their attention to the actual the real and genuine tiling thing our people are not looking for a sensation every day and yet what they are daily doing would if done in other states cause almost daily stampedes to the centers of such almost unrivaled activities in utah camps it is a steady grind heavy enterprises are being undertaken and these cause but little comment and for the reason that in almost every utah mining camp the people have long been accustomed to big things bingham may produce tons of ore daily but the fact is hardly more than mentioned in mining circles and yet such a production in any other camp or district outside of the state would keep the wires sizzling throughout the united states such doings as are going on in tin tic district would be considered phenomenal if credited to any other portion of the west but is in utah and the outside world regards the mader matter without a flutter of emotion park city breaks records beaver county comes to the front with new producer after producer and from all over the state comes news of splendid discoveries and no wonderment or enthusiasm is shown and why the reply is so old and threadbare that it is hardly worth repetition eti tion great things are expected of utah mines they have made good and heavy production and big earnings are taken as a matter of course tintic gintic district district with its marvelous push and vigor is on the tiptoe tip toe of expectancy so to speak and is waiting to hear of the outcome of the visit of uncle jesse knight the provo mining wizard to the east it is understood that Ws is not a mere pleasure trip on the part of uncle jesse and it is rumored that before his return he will have consummated a deal whereby he will part with a controlling cont roling interest in the colorado and iron blossom mines the tin tic smelter and the stub railroad and possibly the beek beck tunnel to heavy eastern interests it is difficult to predict what bearing such a transfer would have on the mining interests of the district but it is believed the general results would be beneficial efi cial at any rate the unloading of these interests would place mr knight in a position where he could devote more time and money mondy to the development of his numerous other enterprises enter priss the action of the apex consolidated a knight proposition propos iton in offering for or sale

ore the united states is also maeng an excellent showing in its eagle blue bell mine the united states company has a big foothold in tintic gintic district but it is evident that it cannot get too

very versatile proposition for a period it will be resplendent in dividend payments when presto like a flash of lightning from a clear sky it changes front and stockholders are called upon to pay assessment after assessment and yet experts assert that it is a great mine and capable of splendid performances there are other properties of value and promise in the district and none more so than the susana adjoining the century in the susana it is reported a large tonnage of ore is blocked out but at a greater depth than the lowest ore showings in the century much of this ore will assay from

operations the silver king coalition has posted a dividend of which will be paid july 1st ast the daly west which paid its first quarterly dividend for 1909 of in april has announced its second disbursement of a similar amount which is payable july the quarterly report of the company which was out during may failed to show that the company was earning ng its dividends and yet a number of well informed mining men are of the opinion that the company can continue its quarterly disbursements for some time to come as its treasury contained a cash surplus of this would pay the present rate of dividends for a period of eighteen months by which time the company should be able to finish the shaft connection through to the drain tunnel level with this connection made and judging from the amount of ore in sight in the mine workings the company should then be able to meet operating expenses and lay aside a surplus for dividend account the silver king consolidated management is feeling jubilant over the fine showing being made in its main working shaft after the expenditure of large sums in mine development and equipment and after encountering innumerable delays and setbacks it really looks now as if the silver king consolidated would make good and this tat an early day bingham coppers heavy work is more pronounced than ever before among the big copper producers of bangham
