Director ChynOweth Expressed
Himself as Being Well Pleased
With Conditions
BELIEVES MINE IS A BIG ONE.
Property Was a Prospect Less Than
Two Years Ago-Power Now Costs
The Company Nothing.

The party Of Columbus Consolidated
officials, who have been looking over
conditions at that Alta property for
several days, returned to the city last
evening.
Il. +. Chynoweth. one Of the Michl-
gan directors Of the company, express
ed himself as being very wen pleased
with the progress made in shaping the
property for steady production. Less
than two years ago the Columbus prop
erty was a mere prospect, but as it
stands today" said Mr.. Chynoweth, lit
is a mine Of no small proportions, and
II il does not make record to be proud
OF ii will be the greatest surprise
have ever encountered MIR, Chyno-
weth considers exceptional head
way has been made In opening the Co
lumbus and placing II in the condition
to soon pay its own way and to enter
the dividend paying era. He recalled
what had been done in the copper coun-
try Of Michigan where IL took as much
as six years to develop some of the
mines to paying basis. six years
is indeed a long time to wait but these
mines are Just getting to the point
where the stockholders will realize
something. Notwithstanding the Co
lumbus has done better than this, some
OF our stockholders have become fright
ened and have caught the blues" !
understand stock has been offered at
lower figure than they paid for 1t, but
my firm belief is they Will be sorry for
It later. II they part with their hold
ings now when all stocks are more or
less depressed,
Some became scared at the action
OF the directors some time ago in sus-
pending shipments. This was not done
because Of a scarcity of ore, but as a
plain business proposition It is the
case with nearly all mines, particularly
with producers Of lead-sIlyer ores, that
rich bodies OF ore occur in veins where
large bodies OF milling ores exist.
ITO pick out the rich particles, at
the same time handling the low grade
to do so--leavlng the latter for treat
ment at a later date, entails consider
able useless expense The directors
thought II a matter OF economy to
exploit the mine further and
shop up the ore for extraction
upon the completion OF the new mill
With our mill running we can separate
the richer ore and ship II direct to the
shelters and what little is not gathered
up will go into the mill and only
help to bring up the average OF the con-
centrates. Shipments OF high grade ore
have commenced again. however. and II
viii not be very long until the mill will
go into commission"
Mr. Cheynoweth says the mine is now
being supplied wpith power without any
expense whatever whereas, II formerly
cost the company Sl2 per ton for coal,
In addition to the wages OF the men
employed to operate the machinery.
Since the new electric plant was In
stalled down the canyon, the revenue
derived from the nelghhoring mines
which are being furnished with all the
power they need-is sufficient TO meet
all the expense Of operation.
