United States Smelting mine's 1100 foot hoist shaft at Bingham Utah
The article describes the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Company's Unit 4 States Mine at Bingham Utah. It highlights a surface hoist room connected by a mile long tunnel, excavated from solid rock and built of concrete and steel. The hoist operates to 4000 ft depth with modern safety devices and auto controls. It notes the Jordan Plateau origin in 1864, the company's formation in 1905, and sustained employment through volatile years, with average 430 workers in 1921 to 1925. Tunnels extend farther from the portal, and production pushes deeper with longer telephonic and cable operations, reflecting heavy investment to maintain production costs against ore value.
