Organizational History

The Bingham Stage Lines Co. was organized in 1920 by Francis Miller and A. L. Inglesby. These men organized the bus to run every two hours from their Salt Lake office to the Bingham Copper Mines. Because they held a monopoly on the busses, they also ran tours to scenic areas in Utah and Arizona.
