I ' Tho proposition looking to the addl-I addl-I ' tion of lead-blasts to the Bingham I ConJa battery of copper furnaces In I ' the vallej' has been Indefinitely plgeon- ( holed, said Hon. P. I. Kimberly, who I revels over the possession of a larger I block of shares than does any Indlvld-I Indlvld-I ual holder In that prosperous organl-I organl-I zatlon, on his reappearance at the local I offices yesterday morning; and, while I he does not announce It, the market Is I left to Infer that arrangements for the I reduction of lead ores controlled by I his company and himself have been ef-I ef-I fected.
