Show Mining and Financial H Bingham 1b known so generally as the mining H camp where the Utah's Copper company makes H money faster than the Ohio Copper company can H Bpend it, that the public might forget, if not re- H minded occasionally, that there are other big H mines in the district. Such a reminder came last H week from the Blngham-New Haven in the most H substantial form a slip of paper reading: "Pay H to the order of, etc.," the amount being twenty H cents for each share of the stock held by the H payee of the check. The management has a way H of paying dividends that is as informal as it is H delightful. H Imagine a Connecticut gentleman calling his H family about him and saying In a broken voice: H "My dears, I can bear the burden of my secret H no longer. You must know the worst at once. H I have lost everything. As you know I invested H heavily In shareB "of the Now Haven railroad, be- H Moving that I was Insuring you against want after H I should be gone. All the brokers and the fin- H ancial writers said it was a conservative invest- HV ment. It has- now stopped paying dividends, its Bfl value has fallen twoVthirds. All that Vjs left H outside of my coal business Is some western min- H ing stock I bought as a speculation, so there is H no hope; you will have to get along this year H vrith your last year's automobile." H The family groans in chorus. H A ring is heard at the front door. H Enter the butler. "A letter, sir." H "Thanks, Perkins. Open it, my dears. I havo 9 not the courage, something tells me its an ad- H vertisement for a 1914 car." H His daughter opens the letter. H "Father! It is a check. The mining company H has sent you a dividend. It will buy us a new H car. We are sa-a-ved." H Tableau. Hj H Glarence Milner, "who has just returned fronl H a trip to Bull valley, warns motorists who are H contemplating going into that country to wait a H short time as the roads for a greater part of the H distance are terrible at present. From St. George H to Enterprise they are very fair and continue in H good shape to Modena, Lund and Milford, but H from Milford to Levan, via Corn Creek, Fillmore, H Kanosh, Sclplo and Yuba Dam to Nephi they are H in frightful shape. From Nephi to Benjamin the H roads are being worked and while they are rocky in places they are In good condition. He describes iho loads Horn Benjamin to Salt Lake as wonderful. wonder-ful. Speaking of the mining operations In Bull valley val-ley Air. Mlmer says that the .Enterprise company has dropped through the lime and encountered porphyry at a depth of forty feet in the shaft, and while the ore has not yet been tested gold has been panned freely. The Hasslamplas people havo a fissure vein cutting the porphyry ana quartzlte. They are drifting both ways and get values from ?2.50 to $12 In porphyritlc ore anu expect the vein to get richer as it tightens. On the Fraction group they are drifting on a body of ore which is two feet wide and assays $17 and in ten feet of work this has widened to four feet of ore of the same character and value. The Bull Valley Mines company, according to Mr. Milner, has 35,000 tons of high grade milling ore blocked out on three sides. |
