Bingham. Bingham, while being one of the oldest camps, seems to be attracting the most attention at present, excepting, perhaps, Park City and vicinity. The gold mines there are causing many to go and examine them, and several important changes have been made, or are about to be made. It is stated that one property was disposed of a short time ago—about ten days—for $20,000, and that other sales are in prospective. Preparations for work on many old claims are being made, and work on many new prospects have been definitely determined upon. In the meantime, prospecting will be continued, new claims located, and from all present appearances, lead maintaining a good figure, with gold easy of access and in good paying quantities, Bingham will again witness a renewal of the life that characterized it in its earlier days. Parties from the east are sending out representatives, and money is ready to be put up on any good claim.
