    Historical Context
    The Utah Metal and Tunnel Company was first organized in 1909 as Utah Metal Mining Company.
    The Utah Metal and Tunnel property had a long tunnel that was completed in mid 1913. The tunnel exited in Middle Canyon, east of Tooele, Utah. The company absorbed the adjacent Bingham New Haven company on December 1, 1915, to settle potential encroachment claims.
    The Utah Metal Mining Company had been organized in 1909 to consolidate the properties of the Bingham Central Mining, Bingham Standard Copper, and Bingham Metal Mining companies. By the end of 1912, the 11,490 foot Bingham-Tooele Tunnel of the Utah Metal Mines Company was 92 percent complete.
    The company was reorganized as the Utah Metal and Tunnel Company in 1914.
