Show A prosperous YEAR FOR MINING more afore than ordinary activity in mining affairs is noticeable just now in nearly all of the leading mining camps of the state while several new districts are strongly appealing to the investor and capitalist because of intrinsic value and worth no difficulty is experienced perien ced at the present time in swinging big propositions in bingham park city and tintic gintic in the two first named several gigantic deals are now pending which promise to record successful consumption in fact in bingham especially almost every new mining enterprise is well thought of and the impression prevails that any ground located within the of the established mineral belt which is several miles in extent will eventually drop into line as producing and paying property with development the heavy transactions in park city of late the home of the greatest dividend payers this intermountain ter country has ever known has stimulated inquiry in that direction and extensive operation and development wi will 11 be the order of the day in this rich camp this season the belief exist existing lu that before the close of the year other ailes promising 1 to closely duplicate the records of f such producers as the ontario the daly the daly west and the silver king will be uncovered in tintic gintic too there is promise of heavy operation in the development of v virgin rain propositions and at the same time the peerless mines of the district will continue to send out their constant flow of mineral wealth in other camps there is a revival of interest ophir and stockton are not being overlooked stateline Stat eline gold Aloun mountain tain marysvale Marys vale and the lasalles LaS allea are moving steadily to the front while from various directions comes the news of new finds and important discoveries and of such a nature that ever waiting capital is ready to step in willing r to tako take chances with the prospector and claim holder these same conditions obtain throughout the length and breadth of this intermountain ter mountain region and no one can gainsay the statement and prediction that this is to be a glorious year in the mining camps and districts of this western country IF a mine in this western country is producing heavily and is paying regular dividends we set it down that the enterprise is a successful one some eastern tenderfoot or some theoretical yellow legged mining expert might differ with us and give a lengthy dissertation ser tation on mines and mining to convince us that we were mistaken but we would be of the same opinion still it is fair to assume that a veteran mining operator knows what he is saying when he claims success for his mine or his mill and is able to back up his assertion w with th a tonnage of ore bullion or matte and with shipping bills and smelting smelling sm elting receipts showing net earnings and profits this is the way it strikes us there are others however who presume to ignore actual results and who are prone to insinuate that this or that enterprise is unsuccessful although confronted with facts and figures sufficient to prove without cavil the truth of statements or assertions made the doubting thomas in this instance is the engineering mining journal of new york a publication which may have some weight with the coal diggers in pennsylvania but which is without prestige in this western country for fo the reason that it is antagonistic to our best interests and is nearly always unfair in its discussion of mining topics pertaining to this intermountain region it is not so very long ago that the journal ahr threw ew a wet blanket on a big bingham t copper proposition and now it h has as the audacity to say th that at it is doubtful if the method adopted by the bingham copper gold mining company is the best that could be employed in the treatment of the companas comp anys ores it is true that the journal congratulates the company upon its good management and engineering foresight 51 yet at the same time it asserts that the c company is laboring under a mistaken idea and to prove its statements goes on to give a long string 1 of technical lore just as if the B C G people were novices in mining a and nd milling matters and incapable of attending to their own affairs the journal gives us that tired feeling the bingham I 1 company will continue at the old stand however THE park record very justly and truthfully says the record has all along predicted that the wonderful resources of this great district would not and could not f for orion long rema remain in sealed to the eyes of the investors investor 93 and has lent its best efforts in spreading the p plain lain truths broadcast it therefore lays just claim to a share of the credit in ena engaging aging 0 the attention of investors and inviting investigation of the camps many propositions never in the history of park city have the prospects been so bright never has mining assumed such proportions here as will be witnessed the present season in every direction new propositions ions are springing in g up capital is pushing in and prospecting acting is everywhere actively y going on this is all due to the fact that the p possibilities of the district are just becoming known and that the properties here have stood the test of tho thorough and careful investigation and acquitted themselves most creditably so the tide has started this way and it will grow until the park will take and main tain her position as the greatest mining camp in the whole country THAT a great future is in store for the west dip of camp floyd di district s brict i is s believed by many who are familiar with the gold mines of this locality however it is the con census of opinion that in order to work the properties there successfully and pro profitably ti bably tably it will be necessary to effect a consolidation put in one big mill and treat the output of all the mines at this plant the consolidation as proposed would take in the la cigale the omaha the daisy the helvetia and the snowstorm the ores from which could easily keep a thousand ton mill in constant operation the economy entailed by such a consoled con consolidation solid aaion under one management under one head would be where the profits would come in the ore exists in goodly quantities is easily mined and easily treated it could be cheaply handled too by a system of tramways tram ways connecting each mine with the mill under these conditions there is every reason to believe that west dip mines can be placed on a productive and dividend paying basis ONE of the best things that could have happened to the mining industry of utah and adjoining states is the blowing in of the new smelter of the bingham copper gold mining alining minna na company in fact the successful issue of this enterprise promises much for the ore producers of this western country inasmuch as it is in a measure an independent smelter and is in the market for smelting smelling sm elting ores of different characters the management of these new reduction works mean business from the start they understand the smelting smelling sm elting business in all its phases and are firm in their determination to treat small producers just us well if not better vian fian the big mining companies P anies outputting hundreds and thousands of tons monthly As a result smelting smelling sm elting charges have already been reduced at least per ton the trust meeting the rate and more it is 1 s reasonable to expect hereafter that the trust will be more considerate with the mine owner shipping in small lots it is the prevailing impression that the binham bingham company will branch out more extensively in the near future and that it will be a keen competitor in the ore purchasing market tintie miner supt bupt 0 E allen alien of the centennial eureka visited that property and the la reine yesterday and
