L. F. Swetting. who during the sos
and early '9os mined in this county.
seems to have successfully gathered in
and financed . large copper proposition
in Arizona. as evidenced by the following.
taken from Q recent issue of the Clifton
(Arisona) Copper Era:
''The shareholders of the Polasis min
ing company held . special meeting at
the Office Of the company Monday last.
At which much important business was
transacted. Manager Swetting submitted
. proposition from responsible company
at Colorado Springs, agreeing to advance
{7So. 900 in cash for . like amount in
long time bonds of the company, the
money 10 be expended in the develop
ment and equipment OF the property.
The proposition was accepted and As soon
~ the necessary legal steps can be taken,
development work will be commenced
under the same management a. hereto
fore.
Manager Swetting states that it is his
intention to pat in air drills and rush the
work - fast - ii 10 possible to do 20. He
expects to have the property sufficiently
developed within two years, or even a
les time. to justify the erection Of plant.
The Polasis company controls . large
number Of excellent claims. and with
ample money behind il there Il no reason
Why II should not eventually become one
Of the big producing companies Of Ai-
IONA"

HAIL COLUM BIA!
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN ARE OPERATING
A RICH PROPERTY.
ARE THREATENED WITH WEALTH
COLUMBIA MINE ON CHICAGO MOUNT.
AIN PRODUCES COINAGE COLD.

A local pool has taken a lease on the
Columbia mine. near the Little Matte.
on Chicago mountain, and is driving the
second level west from the shaft with the
Aexpectation of opening a good ore body
1as depth is attained. TIE junction OF
the Columbia vein with the Great Repub-
lican claim of the Little Matte vein is
what hSs made the great ore shoot in the
latter, from which thousands of dollars
in ore are now being taken out monthly
From the collar to the bottom of the
shaft, . distance of los feet, the Colum-
bia has produced the finest specimens Of
NATIVE leaf gold ever found IN the state.
and in the level nov being driven, these
rich specimens are frequently found in
the ore now being taken out. Gold
leaves one sixteenth Of an inch in thick :
ness and Of a size up to as large IS sil.
yer dollar are often found in the porphyry
vein matter. In treating the ore by
amalRsmation severa. years ago, the gold
leaves in the ore choked up the battery
screen, and ten times as much gold
would be left in the battery and inside
plates as on the outside plate. The gold
is exceptionally pure. running as high as
$50 fine.
The Columbia vein was believed to
have been cut by the Star tunuell yeal
Or % ago. at a depth of over 500 fee, be
low the surface and the vein was drifted
on both east and west under that belief
Some rich ore was found, but II was L.
ter discovered that il was not the Colum
bia vein. but blind lead. and that the
Star tunnel will have to be driven at
least $50 feet before the vein will be en-
couutered. The members Of the local
pool. who have excellent prospects Of be
coming wealthy. are as follows: ]. G.
Roberts. W. G. Arkilis, John Nelson,
M. c. Potter. +. r. Lumiey, J. W.
Anderson aud K. K. Graham.
Negotiations have been pending for
some time between the Star tunnel com.
pany and the Little Matte owness having
in view the extension Of the Star tunnel
500 feet to the Little Matte Newton vein.
This would give the Little Matte COM
pasy an easy outlet for q heavy tonnage
which could be delivered by means OF a
tramway track to the Little Matte mill. a
few hundred feet above the portal OF the
Star tunnel. ahd would be most desir
able and economical method of handling
the ore. The Little Matte company
owns nearly mile Of the vein, and at
the present time is making connection
with the Newton shaft by continuing
the sixth Ieve; east from the Little
Matte shaft.
