| Show BINGHABIS BIG ORE BODIES Enormous Tonnage Exposed and Ready for the Smelters While Bingham during the anniversary anni-versary on which tho curfew rang a midnight achieved many results and added several millions to the wealth of tho world it was not at liberty to assort as-sort Its real strength Like the leviathan It was preparing largely for results that are to bo accomplished tomorrow Its campaign In 1301 par took largely of tho preparatory The years work among tho giants that are to be heard from the present sea son at all events was confined al most entirely to tho further blocking out of their ore bodies to the acquisi l te tion of additional territory and to equipment Accordingly It devolved mainly upon the Highland Boy and Blngham Con to maintain Its PROMINENCE AS A PRODUCER on the map although the achieve ments of tho Ben Butler the Red Wing Buttcrlleld Phoenix Tle waukce with multifarious light eIghts shipping In small loin and at greater or less Intervals have done not a Ito to swell the output and keep the fires of tho custom smelter < 1er alive Tho Highland Boy as for several sev-eral years again appears at the head of the column and Its matchless smelter In the valley supplied during the year fully 1GOOOO tons of copper gold and sliverbearing ulphldcs 01 which it Is said It has about JOoon000 on hand In the bonanza Not only has It furnished tho means with which to srcnlyENLAHGJ ENLARGE ITS SMELTER which was completed early In the year but It has provided the cash with L which to nuy tWOj dividends aggregating aggre-gating 760000 and closes the year with over 500000 In Its stocking Not only this It provided tho cost of perfecting the tramway by which Lhe output forwarded to tho railway at nominal expense and to the eur acc Improvements added a number of features that have made them more mpoelng and mOle commodious The results accomplished by the Blngham Con have afforded an almost unexampled unex-ampled lesson on what Is possible with the shoulders of a perfectly organized or-ganized force as well as those of Manager Man-ager McVlchle himself ALL AT THE WHEEL and all pushing with oxenlike energy So much work in so limited a time appears ap-pears almost superhuman and yet within tho year the management has completed and Increased the equipment equip-ment of the Copper Belt railway I has rehabilitated the old tramway that for many years served the Dalton Lark BrooklIne Lead mines and othern In that formidable group In the forwarding of their ores and replaced It with an electric railway to connect with a branch line of standard gauge that affords the Dalton Lark as direct connection with the main tracks of the Rio Grande railway system as has tho Commercial group In upper Blngham over tho terminal branch whose rails are reared above Blngham canyon While these undertakings have been laborious they will not compare com-pare perhaps with that Involved In tho RECLAMATION OF THE DALTON LARK and other groups that were wisely acquired quired during the year Inundated their workings In 0 condition of shocking decadence and the machinery ma-chinery rusted almost beyond utlliza lon tho management has wrought from chaos a spectacle of thrift that is exceeded at no point In Bingham With tho lines in hand and everything at the smelter ready to discharge Its part the ctieam of ore ftom the Dalton Lark Nlll Join that from the Blng ham Con s domain In upper Blngham early In the present year and the output out-put should rapidly attain proportions long ago predicted by Col Posey and others of the companys founders I has been said that the Blngham Con would be added to the roster of Utahs producers the present month but It was premature for while the earnings of the company have long exceeded the expenses there Is no desire to call upon other than Its local treasury for tho expense of dead work the equipment equip-ment of the properties and the completion com-pletion of the smelter by the erection f additional furnaces and the Installation Instal-lation of a convertor However they will arrive during the year while the shareholder are to bo don d-on the dispatch with which the management man-agement has accomplished everything undertaken by I No less Impressive has been the campaign on the properties proper-ties of THE UNITED STATES mining company during the year for while every pound of Its ore yearI been withheld from the furnace It has now blocked out and ready for the independent In-dependent smelter which Is under construction con-struction nearly two million tons of copper gold and silverbearing sul phides of a value approximating 20 000000 To economically extract the vast tonnage numerous devices have been and are being Installed at the mines of the company and with a I signal from the management Superintendent Superin-tendent Mayherry says he Is prepared to respond with almost any volume Engaged In the same campaign of development and opening up enormous quantities of ore without furnishing the market with a pound has been the Utr management of the Boston Con for whoso riches Samuel Ne house and his associates havo long projected a l plant similar to that In which the ores ot the Highland Boy are being smelted SI I AT THE YAMPA group owned by tho Tlntlc Mining and Development company the same policy has been observed with earne management looking forward to a day when It shall experience the yf shal need of C smelter that shall bo made to serve the requirements of Its elllclous ores at Tlntlo as well as those at Bingham SI The management of the Columbia has been no less energetic in the opening up of Its ore bodies that present the same general characteristics and has In view the equipment of the property with either a concentrator of very large capacity or 0 smelter such as those now dotting the banks of the Jordan With all these assurances It can be easily seen how Blngham Is to be putting out C Niagara of ore exceeding ex-ceeding 100000 tons monthly before the close of 1902 and how It will help to double the output of tho metals during the year |
