II , While it has not been exploited bc- IU yond tjie Inner cunrd positive assur- 9'1 ance comes from Blncham that In the I 3 properties of the Bingham fc New I j Haven Mining company tho inanage- I I ment has achieved results, partial at I I legist, for which It has been prospecting I the camp of copper for nearly two I ! years, and that the prominence of tho I '. proposition as another copper, gold and I silver producer. Is now practically as- I ! sured. It was this achievement, In- deed, according to reports from camp, I that Induced the recent visit by tho New Haven olllclals, and while they were provokingly silent, the strike, It Is I claimed, Is none the less a fact. The ! properties of the Bingham & New wXa Haven company embraces tho Star Wf group and others commended to the U-f j purchasers by Andrew J. Malloy, whose Hy attention had been drawn to It by D. Hj H. Pecry. Over tho group there had H 1 been much rivalry, and whllo previous Hi efforts to determine the whereabouts l l of wealth over which the camp Is now HU exulting, were vain, confidence In the HI territory has never diminished. Of lis H : possibilities, Indeed, the new company H; had the assuranco of tho most ercpcrl- I enced mining men In camp, and cm- H j boldened by this the search has been H,j prosecuted under the superlntendency H , of Frank Benedict. H.: A telephone message from Bingham H says that while the presence of ore has H been denied for several weeks, samples H ' of It that have made their appearance H t In tons compare favorably with any of H.j which Bingham is capable. While tho M ore which was encountered In the main B tunnel chows some galena, according to B the message, it la filled with sulphides Bd of copper, by which the lead Is being B3 rapidly replaced, while assays on a B .j streak of quartz by which the main B j mass is fissured, show values In gold B j that are almdst Incredible. The story B at camp is that over ten feet of ore B' has been exposed already and that It B.i prevents all the characteristics of a B)' strong ledge. 1 The territory adjoins that of the flj. Utah Con and it has long been tho be- Bi lief of the owners that Its main ledge HI -whs nothing less than that of the HI Highland Boy on Its extension. Par- H tlculars will probably bo released on Bl the return of Mr. Malloy from the Bl Dixie mines out of St. George, that are Bl controlled by the same crowd. |
