Show BINGHAM'S NEW RESOURCES. Dalton & Lark Group Adds S5000 to October's Profits. Tho Bingham Consolidated company is making rapid progress in opening up Its various properties both at Ulngham and Tlntlc. At the present time tho Dalton & Lark Is sending to the smelter 150 tons of ore per day and tho Commercial 100 tons. This product Is largely the result of development work, says tho News Bureau Bu-reau of Boston, after an Intervlow with tho company's Eastern management. It Is claimed that for every ton of ore shipped out ten tons of now oro aro placed In reserve. Tho value of the Commercial oro lies In Its fluxing qualities. This ore runs Jl to h per ton In copper, gold and sliver values. Tho managers say that there never has been any attempt mndo to recover any values from tho Commercial Commer-cial oro. Tho Dalton it Lark properties havo ore similar In naturo to that of tho Commercial Commer-cial group, with values running higher. For tho first time slnco tho Dalton & Lark properties have been In the possession posses-sion of the Bingham Consolidated, thoy showed a profit last month of about JoCOO. It Is the estimate of tho mine management manage-ment that there aro 300.000 ton3 of ort-Wockod ort-Wockod out in tho Commercial and 125,000 tons blocked out In the Dalton & Lark property not a very large tonnage. At tho latter property there has been a vast amount of dead work necessary, principally princi-pally In the driving of a tunnel WOO feet In length for unwaterlng purposes, although al-though this tunnel will prove valuablo as a working tunnel. It Is the expectation to make a connection with tho Dalton & Lark ore body through this tunnel by the first of tho year. At the smelter the Bingham Consolidated Consoli-dated Is doing good work. It Is employing about SO0 men there, running four furnaces fur-naces and treating between 000 and 70U tons of oro per day, of which about 2C0 tons aro from Its own mines, 200 to 250 tons from the Boston Consolidated and the balance bal-ance from tho Grand Central and other Utah properties. The company has nearly completed a fifth furnace, which will permit per-mit it to hnndle a larger volume of custom cus-tom ore. The plant Is well constructed and equipped and well managed. Thirty-live Thirty-live per cent matto is produced and converted con-verted Into 00 per cent blister copper which carries gold and silver values.
