The Utah Copper Company's Mine is located at
Bingham, Utah, about 30 miles South West of
Salt Lake City.
This mine is operated by both underground
workings and steam shovels.
Daily output:
Ore
22,000 tons, stripping,
31,000 tons. (Stripping is the overburden removed
in order to get at the ore): employs 2,400; operates
41 miles of railroad
the mountain, 51
locomotives, and 22 steam shovels. The height
of the mountain above the pit is 1600 feet.
At no place in the world is steam shoveling
and moving of rock promoted on as extensive a scale
at Bingham, where
22 steam shovels, 51
locomotives and 1000 ore cars are kept busy day
and night.
The total amount of material to be moved at the
Utah Copper Mine, so far as present development
indicates, is practically the same as the total amount
moved on the Panamá Canal.
