Show Great Things in Store for North Bingham. The Nevada Exploration and Milling and the Utah Newspaper and Mining Companies Benefited. TWO FEET OF $500 ORE IN NORTH BINGHAM. Eagle Bird Company Makes. Good Gold Strike In Darney't Canyon. GOES THROUGH SOLID IRON. Formation of 22-Foot Ledge Gives Promise of Great Things. Two feet of oro that runs JB24 a ton. In roM. It Isn't a Goldfleld nor ovon a Soven Trough strike It Is In Bingham, and North Bingham at that. Tho Eaglo Bird Mlnlnc & MllllnK company, operating in Barney's and Marker's canyons, ran Into n Toln a fow days ago that gives tho returns mentioned. About two tons of tho ore hnvo been saved and It Is apparently appar-ently getting better ns tho vein is opened up. A. 0. Mahan, an omccr of tho company, took a samplo clear ncross tho vein and had It assayed. Tho assayer'a certificate shows values val-ues at 20.20 ounces In gold to tho ton. somo silver and copper. While these values aro highly gratifying grat-ifying to tho management, It may ns well bo Bald at tho start that they do not for a moment Imaglno that they have a sure-enough gold mine. It haB been tho history of gold Btrlkes near tho surfaco In Bingham that they go Into copper at depth. But It shows a highly mineralized condition lndlcatlvo of strong oro bodies when tho depths aro reached. Tho strike Is at tho bottom of an Incllno shaft sunk on a vein 22 feet wide, tho Bhaft being only 02 feet deep. In sinking this Bhaft it went through 18 feet of nlraost solid Iron. This Iron ore, which Itself (brings n good price at tho smoltcrs on account ac-count of Its fluxing properties, plainly plain-ly Bhows tho effects of Intonso heat and It !b evident that tho gold values which it onco contained havo been melted down to penetrato lower strata. Hlgh-Grade Vein a Feeder. After passing through tho Iron tho shaft penetrated a soft formation containing fair gold values and somo copper. But tho two feet of high-grade high-grade gold oro leads off from tho main ledge, ovldently a fecdor. It !b being followed now, with no apparent chango of formation or values tho short distance It has been drifted upon. ., That the strike will increase tho Interest In operations In North Bingham Bing-ham goes without saying. For somo reason that section was long nog- lectcd. dcsplto tho fact that tho Bur- faco Indications aro among tho best In tho entlro district. Tho great ledgo on which tho Eaglo Bird Is working outcrops boldly for a long distance. Samuel Nowhouso and Jesso Knight havo comparatively recently becomo intorestcd In properties In tho vicinity, and tho Nevada Exploration and Milling company has taken a bond and leaso on a largo group of claims lying directly south of tho Eaglo Bird and, It Is said, on tho samo ledgo. Tho Knight property lies yot south, or southwest of tho Novada company's, holdings. Intcr-Mountnln Ilcpubllcan. Sept. C, 1907. NOTK.
