12 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 1907- Ijj
I WHS Ml MAKE
I Company Producing Now at Rate
J, of Only Six Cents Per
H Pound.
I SAMUEL NBWHOUSK
Is BACK FROM MINE
Ii December Will Be Reeord-
Breaking Monlii for This
Copper Mine,
j Ttoiu all appearances, to Utah's Jong
( list of mining- organizations tlitit can
I produco coppor at a splendid profit, in
f spito of Iho present low level of tho
' xcd metal, another cheap eoppcr pro-
t dncer had been added by the perform
ances of tho Newhouso mine oC Beaver
lr county. As stated a few days ago in
ihesi colnmna, this month will bo the
f banner month of this season for I ho
F Newhouso compuuy, both as to amount
f of ore sent out and grade of same.
BiV- President oninuol jNcwhonse, who via
ited tho property with General Man-
x ager "Lafayctto llanchett. Friday', ro-
j; turned Saturday morning, and staled
I, that during1 December tho company will
jjij havo sect out seventy cars of ore.
IV Of this splendid list of ara, fully
L fifty are high grade that is, copper
v oro that will hover close to. if not bct-
I ' tor than, 20 per cent red motal. And
; equally significant is tho statemont of
2d'r. Isowhoufo to tho effect that tho
company has produced this copper at
IB .' the very low rate of 6 cents per pound.
This will mean a very largo month's
J earnings for the Nowhouso company
A but it is hardly a just illustration ot
A what the mine is capable of doing witli
R fivexytliiug centered on real shipments.
' Tho mino right now is capable of ship-
j ping four times tho number of cars
i that havo been sont our. this month.
, But -snoh an era belongs to the not far
l . distant future.
I I This was ifr. Ncwhouso's first visit
Hfg to tho properly in several months, and
Ks" i lie expressed yesterday tho utmost grati-
flE 1 ficatiou at tho prosont ph.ysical coudi-
Hl , iion of the same.
II SUIT AGAINST SMELTER
! ' AT GARFIELD FEARED
I In m a great many Salt Lake offices
of mining companies tho fear is openly
! expressed that tho Garfield smelter
company is about to be treated to a
j baptism of fire from the farmers of tho
! Salt Lako vaJIcy. Not that anyone
I fears that this new copper smelter is
doing any damago to surrounding
farms, but it is feared that tho farm
; crs, flush with victory in their fight
j against the Murra' and Bingham Juuc-
! tion plants, and scenting fresh ready
1 jnonej' ac hand, may nc.vt turn thefr
1 intention io tho Garfield plant for
another long and bitter campaign of
litigation.
Tho Garfield plants always havo been
r.onsidored safely immune "from attack
f on tho part of tho valley farmers. The
fiito was carefully selected, with a view
K to prevailing winds, while thousands
of acres of adjoining land were pur
chased. The plant itself was con
structed along lines of modern scienti
fic knowledge, each invention known to
be suficesaful for tho purpose in hand
i was " installed to prevent the escape
of injurious gases and solids to the
't outer atmosphere. In spite of theso
U , considerations, however, local circles
I ' fear that the attempt will bo made to
test the efficacy of these plaus.
f Officials of tho Gariield companv
l Lavo hooted at tho very mention o"f
I any tronblo at this new smelter, but
fearful ones realize that the efforts of
the farmers two years ago wero mot
with ridicule and bravo assortions that
I I bad to givo way before the edict of
, """ tho courts. Cautious persons are ad-
Ivocafing a preparedness and concen
tration of effort to frustrate tho re
ported plans of tho farmers, for it is
wk pointed out that tho boast has been
,jjfl made on moro than one occasion that
M ' with the first suit out of tho way, the
V farmers will brighten up their gun
1 barrels for another battle.
I,TINTIC NOW MERELY
SHELL OF REAL SELF
Tho fear is provalcnt in local cir
cles that tho Tintic district will be
tho next Utah camp to oaso up like
Park City. No ono knows at this time
if Tintic mine owners will follow the
example of others in the State who
are unwilling to give away their as
sets under existing metal conditions,
but Tintic already is a severe sufferer
from conditions. Last week the camp
sent out only seventy-eight cars of
ore, its normal shipment being one hun
dred and twenty-five to one hundrod
and thirty-five cars a week. Of this sev
f enty-oight cars last week, the Centennial
L Eureka company sent out thirty-eight.
r leaving a mere thirty cars for other
companies. The Lower Mammoth,
BTJnclo Sam. Consolidated, Graritl Cen
tral, Victoria, and others, are complete'
ly absent from last week's list, while
such old producers like tho Beck Tun
nel, Colorado, Yankee and others are
Bending out a more tithe of their
usual shipments.

Boston Copper Gossip.
James A Pollock k Co., bankers and
brokers, furnish the following, received
over their private wire yesterday after
noon: Boston wires Get It from what I con
sider the very beat authority that the
Calumet and Hccla people within ft Tew
days will make sales of lako copper at
14c, and that sales have been made by
the United Metals Selling company today
at 12Jc. I also understand that Calumet
and Hccla, Copper Range, and other lake
properties have got very llttlo metal on
hand. Whatever metal there Is seems to
be In the hands of the selling companies
and they have now reduced .their holdings
to such" an extent that they 'are not dis
posed to fill largo orders very freely, on
tho other hand, the president of a com
pany which Is conslderod one of tho larg
est consumers of metal3 In the country Is
In Boston today and reported to havo
talked very pessimistically about the
motal situation. It is well known, how
ever, that this company has not made tho
purchases for future consumption. In fact,
lias only a limited supply on hand.
Boston News Bureau Thomas F. Cole
tells his friends that he believes copper
will reach a price of 20 cents per pound
in 190S. primarily as a result of the re
striction In production which is now tak
ing place all over tho country. Ho says
that a 12Jj)13c market for coppor has shut
down tho small properties In all sections
of tho country and that he considers it
absurd for any large property that can
not show substantial profits on 12-cent
copper to deplete its reserves and glvo
away Its assets, when by stopping produc
tion It can conserve Hb copper asbets for
a hlghor metal market. He takes the
position that American consumors are bo
short on stocks that they arc actually
sweeping up the floors to gather tho fil
ings, and that if cosumers figure upon
getting copper at below cost to many of
tho producers they will bo very much
mistaken.

FIX SMELTER TROUBLE
Utah Consolidated Boys and
Murray Officials Seek io
End Deadlock;
Since tho Utah Consolidated company
and tho committeo of farmers havo
been unable to reach Bomo agreement
by which the Utah Consolidated smel
ter can bo continued for another yonr,
and since tho business men of Salt
Lako seem willing to allow the smellers
to slip from out this valley without,
turning a hand to keep thorn" hero, tho
city officials of Murray, and tho em
ployees of tho Utah Consolidated com
pany, arc now working hand in hand
towards somo settlement of tho pres
ent difficulties. Murray socs that with
tho closing down of tho smelter for a
year and evermore thorcaftor will come
stagnation to its businoHB bouses, and
oven to tho complaining farmers them
selves, whilo tho omployoes of the corn
pain see the loss of their positions star
lug thcm in the face, with an extremely
hard winter ahead.
It can bo slatod definitely that tho
Utah Consolidated compa.ny itself is not
behind this new venture. It Jb under
stood that permission was sought and
gained by, the employees to make tho
attempt, the company standing ready
to take up the matter when conditions
reach a stugo whero the company can
do so. A committee of employees camo
up from Murray Saturday and proceeded
at once to business. It is not known
what tho committee accomplished, but
as far as could be learned tho com
mitteo of f armors had not been ap
proached Saturday.

Three-Sixty Level Opening Up
Body Now Averaging 14
Per Cent.
"The Bingham Amalgamated Coppor
company has ono of tho largest and
richest copper oro bodies in all tho
Bingham district," stated Gcnoral Man
ager .Too Edmonds Saturday. Mr. Ed
munds had just roturncd from an in
spection of this largo Bingham group,
nnd ho was delighted with tho manner
in which the resources are being brought
to light. Regarding conditions at pres
ent, ho said to Tho Tribune:
"On tho -300-foot level of tho Amal
gamated gToup somo tirao ago wo de
veloped an ore body 60 by 60 foot in
extent, tho averago value of tho ivholo
body being 1.5 per cent copper, $1.20
gold and two ounces silver to tho ton.
Intermingled with this chuto were rich
streaks and bunchos of copper rock
whoso metallic contents ran up to enor
mous levels. Isor has tho real extent of
this body been definitely determined
yet, for we ceutored all our energies
on getting a bottor vertical dopth on
the same.
" Whilo at the mino a day or two ago
wo had driven au upraise in tho same
chuto for some distance from the 300
foot level tho unraiso being five and a
half feot in width, and with not only
this much all oro, but tho bottom, top
and sides wore oro of similar character.
This (lvo and a half, feet of oro gavo
mo an average assay of 14 por cent
copper, $1.60 gold anil 31 per eout iron.
Wo aro now working on tho 400-foot
level, making for the samo oro bodj',
and ovcrything points with dead cer
tainty to tho fact that wo will find it
at tho logical point.
"Tho nig shaft will be continued on
' down, and our plan of demonstrating
tho continuity of tho ore bodies will bo
strictly 'followed out aa tho levels aro
gainecf in their turn. From the work
already accomplished, and from the gnu
oral physical conditions of the group
taken in connection with what we havo
learned in timo gone by, T havo no hosi
tancv in stating that tho Bingham
Amalgamated is ono of the great mines
of Bingham, and we havo ono of tho
largest mineralized group in all the
camp. "Wo will make tho finest kind
of historv for Binerhnm in this mine."

NEVADA MAKES GOOD

Goldfleld Alone Provides Very

lected during tho first nino months of
tho current year. By this report it is
sh own that the camp of Goldfiold alone

net amount of ores shipped, and tho

Bingham -Butte
Making Good
The splondid body of oro this com
pany ran into somo time ago continues
to grow in sizo with every foot driven
in tho lower tunnel. Tho management
reports that tho tunnel has been con
tinued 150 feet, and thero is 54 feot of
oro; of this, 2-i fect is high grade, with
1 hi feot of shipping ore, and tho other
30 fect is of lower milling grade. At
an intersection of about 20 foot in tho
ore body, tho company drovo a 20-foot
crosscut, all of which proved to bo ore.
This crosscut will bo continued until
width of oro body is determined. This
is highly satisfactory progress, aa the
company has yot to go 70 feet to get
undor tho oro shoot showing above.
Tho lower tunnel is 360 feot below the
upper level whero tho ore was encoun
tered, and at least 500 feot vertically
below tho snrface.
Tho shipping oro is as flno as any
body could wish for, carrying in excess
of 35 per cent lead. The milling grade
of rock looks good enough to bo called
" shipping grade," and it is believed
that under normal conditions this could
mi ipPc-d irectI.F to tho local market.
Iho Bingham-Butto is an incorpora
hon of Butte and Salt Lake capital

nishing tho funds to rush development
through. Iho companv recently took

millions in production to its credit in
the early days.
- The,0" at"w;n at tho company's of
fices, 0 West Second South, is attract
ing a great deal of attention from min
ing men. Tho Bingham-Butto has all
the earmarks of a coming big property,
