THE bangham MINING DISTRICT the geological survey has issued a voluminous report of the economic geology of the benghim mining district of this state speaking of recent developments an addendum to ane report mentions extensions in the highland boy the united states Sm eltor located at brigham junction tho bingham copper and gold cop output of copper ore and tho boston con extensions As a whole the aport says the success of properties prope ties has stimulated further and development the in tho concentration of koozo nite on a large decalo at upper dingham is hailed as the po bable inauguration of a new phase of coppey mining in dingham the history of the in the pasi four years la agone 0 successful growth setd great progress in the treatment of low grade copper sulphide ores renewal of lead in fissure ores is pointed out as very probable As showing the growth of output in this district from 1900 we may quote the gold output for 1900 1901 1902 it was respectively oz fine oz oz and showed a big increase in 1963 which kept up in 1904 A constant but very gradual decrease in value of ore as greater depths are reached is one of the conclusions clu of the gov geologists it is ery slight though and of gold at depths greater than any et attained Is promised an extension of the productive area of tho camp is not thought at all likely within the camps however much more can be done notwithstanding the apparent thoroughness of prospecting work in the past altogether the report on bingham as a mining center is very encouraging
