Bingham awaits the advent of a mining Columbus, who will boldly push explorations into the mighty deep, and discover and uncover the continents of mineral, of which the surface indications are but the driftwood and outcome. With a combination of men and capital already interested in the mines of that District, an experimental shaft, 2, 000 feet in depth, sunk on some one of its prominent veins, would he a consummation devoutly to be wished for.

A force of men, under the personal supervision of Col. May the President of the Company, is at work on the properties, sinkingrs a shaft and driving a tunnel for the purpose of devoioping the mine. No new corporation in this Territory starts work under more promising prospects of an early realization of the hopes of all investors in good mines. The ores are galena and chrystalized silver lead, the latter in great demand by all smelters. We confidently expect, upon development, a revival of the great ore production of the telegraph and Montreal era as the chief mine of the company is the original Telegraph, now patented, and on the Old Telegraph, Montreal, Revere and Lead belt of mines. MIXING AS A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. We see constant notices or at least hints in the Eastern min- ing journals of the failure of sharpers to accomplish their expected catch of gudgeons and of the bursting up of mining bubbles. There seems a settled determination in the Eastern mind to take up mining in a business like manner and as a Let the glib business enterprise. This is as it should be. s tongue have no more influence in matters of ore than in The mining journals of New' York, of tea and sugar. Maine, Massachusetts and elsewhere thereabouts, are almost all conducted in a dignified and conservative manner; and, although there are an astonishing number of them they appear to be thriving and to have a bright future before them. This is an excellent sign.' The Pacific Coast is rapidly settling The present dedown to a business basis in mining affairs.

A correspondent of the Mew Northwest) writing from Butte, under date of September 25th, says: It is roughly estimated that the mines in this vicinity produce on an average about 50,000 per week, which is not a bad showing for a young camp. A copper find was reported on Monday in the neighborhood of the Colusa. We failed to get the particulars. The concentrator on Silver Bow Creek, leased by Messrs. Stevens & Boardman, started up last week. We understand that the works have a capacity of 15 tons every twenty-fou- r hours. The smelter being erected by the Montana Copper Company begins to assume a business-lik- e appearance, most of the machinery being in place. The Company are also erecting a tramwav from the Colusa to the works. The Clipper mill, 5 stamps, which has been idle for some months, started up on the 20lh on Belle ore.
