notes A discovery Is reported on bingham bench which it if verified promises to make it the foundation tor for a rival mercur A short time ago mr C L digno anity whose unceasing chase tor for bo be

ground at the grams roots root ho bel found blons of 0 and at less leaa than ten feet from the surface encountered material that under the fire yielded as much as per ton tell in gold bold at that time there appeared many evidences of 0 a well defined vein and into thin the men dug duff thirty feet further r before they encountered what they took to bo be the toot foot wall the material presented AL a very lively appearance but thea that it would show as much as 60 per ton in gold was not ascertained until yesterday when assays essays were obtained for many years yeara the bench has been prospected in a desultory way by those coming and going some borne have obtained excellent values as they hey have been obtained all along main dingham canyon and its ita tributa ilce but no systematic development was ever undertaken tile the material was not much different from that found in the canyon above that has haa since been successfully cyanided by mr W C bacorn and mr will G in an experimental way and finally on a practical scalo scale with commercial results by col IL G heffron of the niagara many have believed that from the main canyons have been carried and deposited on

extensively I 1 staked off during the early placer excitement cit at bingham when in ISM 2864 little littie but the placers were ivere worked but I 1 as the lode claims came into prominence end and the search tor for sliver silver and I 1 load lead was given the preference assessment men wo work r it w was as neglected and large areas ot of it t are as a accessible to the tha prospector at this

whit Is TIOW now known as the spot price of silver to this OL a number of producers who nho tie do not detre desire the th mention of their names at this time showed no unwillingness I 1 to testify

however that something must bo be d done 0 e and some pome authority agreed on that will harmonize monize the interests of the smelter and the producer of the metals or that serious harm must result the prediction was made late in the afternoon by a prominent man an that in ili a few days the sm shelters smelters elters would announce that in future all settlements would be on the basis of spot
