NATIONAL DEVEL OPMENT COMPANY Is BIC CONCERN

George Copper company's property at
Dugway, and these are only few OF
perhaps a score of properties in which
the company is at present interested in.
The Snyder Brothers, than whom thers
are no better known nor more able
mining men in the country, are heavily
interested in the company. Their con-
nections in the mining world extend
from coast to coast, and even across
the water. Some of the largest deals in
mining circles have been put through
by them. They are natives of this state
and have been successful promoters
and managers since they started In the
mining business.
Buy Annie Laurie.
Their first venture. which was the
purchase of the Annie Laurie. and their
subsequent sale of the property. at
tracted the attention OF the mining
world to these brilliant operators. Since
1889 they have been handling millions
of dollars worth of properties In all
parts of the country, and there is yet
10 bc ISCttNSu d ldiiliIS III any Oh lH9
operations with which they have been
connected.
Willard F. Snyder is the president OF
the company, and large share of the
credit for the success of the company
is due to his brilliant work in handling
the deals with which the company has
been connected recently. The other Of
f1cers of the company are: Bismarck
Snyder, vice president; Gideon Snyder,
secretary and treasurer. Besides the
officers. the board of directors of the
company is made up Of 5. NJ. Levy,
Grant Snyder, L. II. Outzen and Walter
Filler.

still in good ore at the present writing.
The average width of the body is
more than five feet. although there are
places in the body where it widens to
a width of more than thirty feet.

BIG RETURNS FROM SOUTH
COLUMBUS CONSOLIDATED

Another fact which points to the abil
ity of Mr.. jacobson to handle the prop
critics in the district because of his in
innate knowledge of the possibilities OF
the camp is the success which has at
tended the venture into the South Co
lumbus Consolidated mime Although
the company was only organized last
year the returns from the work which
has been done on the property in that
comparatively short space of time have
more than fulfilled the predictions
which Mr.. jacobson made for it.
The two companies which were con-
solidatcd by the new organization were
in themselves good producers, but they
had possibilities in them which re-
quired the exercise of rare ex-
ecutive ability as well as an expert
knowledge of the conditions which ex-
list in the district. The combination of
these two have resulted in the big re-
turns which the company is able to
show after so comparatively short a
space of time in which to begin opera
tons that could be productive of re-
suits.
Big Improvements.
One of the big improvements which
has brought about these quick returns,
and which will bring about more and
even larger results is the great tunnel
which is being driven into the side OF
the mountain, and which will cut about
LOCO feet below the contact of an I'M
mense vein which the management IN
tends to open up and which will bring
them into the sulpEide that distance
below the surface.
This work is progressing rapidly in
the mine and when it is completed it is
expected that the company will be in
a position to go on with further deyCl-
opment work on larger scale.
1t is certain that whatever there IS
in the property 10 be worked VIII DC
taken out by the able management
which now has the work of operating
the mine in charge. The same vigorous
campaign which has characterized The

dated will be conducted on the property

and the results, if all that is predicted
for the property is verified. will startlt

Whatever arguments may be ad-

company of this city, which is one OF
the largest concerns of its kind in this
part of the country. The company has

camps in Nevada and elsewhere, and all
of them are under the trained eye and
able management of the directors OF
the company.

LINCOLN MINING COMPANY
HAS BEST MINE IN CAMP

The camp of Pearl. Ida, known as
The West View Mining district, stu
ated i'm the counties of Boise and Can
Won. is the most active gold camp in
southern Idaho. Already 1t supports
population OF about 500. and 1t IS stead
lily growing in size and Importance. The
town of Pearl is twenty-four miles
northwesterly from Boise, with which
place it is connected by a daily stage
line.
Emmett, the terminus of the Idaho
Northern railroad, is the present ship
ping point. 1t is only nine miles dis
tant from the town, and the roads are
in fine condition all of the way to and
from the camp.
Big District.
The area of the district is about three
miles wide and ten miles long. In the
number and lineal extent of its gold
bearing assures, ii is a mineral king
dom in itself. The granite is reticu-
lated with dixie rocks, pronounced ore
courses.
The ores found in the camp are OF an
altered granite gangue and quartz. i'm
pregrated with iron sulphides. There
IS also a sprinkiing of lead sulphides in
the ore which shows good returns, and
from which much better results are eX-
pected within a few months after the
development, which has been carried
on by the companies in the district,
have begun to get into the ore which
they confidently expect to encounter
before very long.
Following the history of surrounding
gold districts, the earliest mining was
confined to the placer diggings along
Willow creek.
Several Properties.
The properties most energetically de-
veloped during the past year are the
Lincoln, Checkmate, Black Pearl,
Whitman, Friday, Kentuck and the
Asburn.
The Lincoln is acknowledged to be
one of the largest gold mines in Idaho.
It's main vein has developed the third

other enterprises tn the Alta district
and acquired the holdings OF the South
Columbus and the Alta Quincy MINING
companies. Both of these have been
for several years highly regarded "a
future splendid producing properties,
requiring merely capital ana time for
their development into that stage.
Previous to the slump in silver over
81 ,001,0 600 was extracted from the sur
face workings of this ground, and a
portion of the territory was among tbs
history makers of the state.
Immense Vein.
An immense vein cuts tbs ground
from north to south, and it has been
the principal aim of Mr.. Jacobson ana
associates to open this to a compre-
hensive magnitude.
Therefore, a great tunnel is being
pushed into the mountain which wifi
cut the contact nearly 900 feet below
the surface, and below the carbonate
zone, and bring the suiphide zones
within easy access.
Exploration work has also proven
that the old levels near the surface
were yet worthy of attention. and these
have furnished considerable return IN
the way Of shipping ores.
When the Alta Quincy was added to
-
great advantage was gained for the &C
cOmplishment of the development OF
the latter. Within the ground OF the
Quincy also there pass the same veins
that penetrate the Columbus Consoli-
dated ground. There was much good
ore left in the old channels by preced-
ing operators. also, which was ct that
time unavailable for shipping because
it was too low grade.
Explore Channels.
Since the consolidation all these chan
nels are being explored successfully
through the Quincy tunnel, from which
crosscuts are opening up splendid high
grades, especially in copper. Samples
recently encountered carry frequently
as high as thirty per cent.
This ore comes from the first crosscut
TO the east from the Quincy tunnel, and
it is occurring in punches all through
the face of the working. These punches
run to great size, some weighing 400
and 500 pounds, and the whole face IS
ore of milling grade, averaging from }
to per cent copper.
The management also has begun
driving from point 200 feet lower than
the first working, and its developments
should present even better showings
than the first.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-12-30

ture of caution and daring in the policy
of the management to be of a twentieth
century conservatism, the kind that
of what has merit in it escape.
Since the organization of the COM
pany it has become in the short. time
of its existence a prime factor in many
of the big Nevada deals which have
been successfully engineered during the
past few months. The company has
five properties under bond or lease, and
on all of these it has an option which it
may take up. One of these properties
is in Idaho, and two more are in this
state, and the other two in Nevada.
Will Double the Force.
The Nevada-F airview mine at Fair
view, New, one of the big paying
camps of that wonderful section of the
country, is one of the properties of the
company. This mine has proved all
that the mana gement expected of it
up to date, and the development work
has been pushed with Characteristic
energy by the company. The force of
men employed in the mine at present
will be doubled in a short time, because
of the showing which has been made on
the property thus far.
The company is also heavily inter-
ested i'm the Ely Consolidated Copper
company of Ely, New, and this, like
the other properties in which the COM
pany is concerned. is proving one of the
best mines in the district, and has
bright prospects for the future.

hills of that famous district.
Confident of Success.
It was not because he sat supineiy
by and predicted that there was the
ere in the mines of the camp that he
made the wonderful success of the
property of which he is the manager.
but he had the enthusiasm of youth
and the aggressiveness which is born
of confidence i'll ones ability TO dis
cover hidden possibilities IN what APP
pears to the superficial as an absurd
ity These two, combined with the con-
fidence which is instilled by a goodly
supply of capital, are the formula FOR
the ultimate success of any undertake
ing. The wrestling from nature of her
treasures and pryinS down into the Sc
crets of her covered wealth is the spirit
which makes the country and the men
we have here in the great land this side
Of the Mississippi river. ana To these
pluck and persistency in a course of ac-
ton which their keen study of condi-
tions convinces them they are on the
right track, all of the credit is 10 be
given, and the rewards for their excep-
tioral ability should be theirs.
President jacobson and the Columbus
Consolidated is an example of the sue
cess attending the men who had the
nerve to tackle the big problems in
volved in the winning of the west, espe-
cially in the mining field. His manage
ment of the company has borne out the
predictions which he gave utterance
to long ago and the results have quiet
ed the dOubters. The success OF the
venture has been even more surprising
than its most confident supporters ex-
pected, and the returns which made
their appearance before any inroads
had been made in the capital at the
call of the management, are principally
due to the accurate and intimate
knowledge of the undertaking and its
possibilities which was possessed by
Mr.. Jacobson.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-12-30

The names of Alta and Tony Jacob
son, the president CT the Columbus
Mining company, are linked when this
wonderful mining district is discussed.
The one has depended upon the other
for support and confidence and the
latter has never been betrayed IN
either, Alta is responsible for the carly
start of the brilliant mining manager,
and President jacobson is admitted to
be the real discoverer of the true values
of the camp and the one who in his de-
velopment of the Columbus Conson-
dated. which has produced as high as
100000 a month, proved the perma-
nency of the ore-bearing bodies The
Two go hand in hand wherever the dis
trict is talked of and they bear their
bonors lightly between them without
the slightest trace OF envy. There is
glory enough for both and each in the
especial sphere of usefulness is big
enough 10 take the share accredited
without quibbling.
Worked as Boy.
President Jacobson worked In the
mines in Alta as a boy. and he is IA
miliar with almost every vein and fis-
sure in the district. They are Old
friends of his and he knows them beg
ter than a book, because he has been
associated with them all of his days
practically, and has everything about
the place at his fingers ends.
1t is due, however. to deep confi-
dence i'm his own ability to bring out
what he knew or felt reasonably certain
was in the mines in the district thai
the great success of the camp, and MIR
Jacobson's management of the Column
hus Consolidated is largely due. II
was his insight into the possibilities
and his daring and courage to face
what was said by many at the time tC

lie that ultimately brought Alta out
IN the top of the heap as mining
district of the very highest value, am
If is. therefore, due to Mr.. Jacobson
that he is acknowledged to be the rea
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-12-30

for the confidence which has been ex-
pressed for the ultimate success of the
claims which the company has taken in
Goldfield.
Besides these promising claims in the
Goldfield district, the company also has
property in the Seven Troughs country
which is considered as gilt-edged as the
reservation in Nevada the management
has acquired a considerable interest in
some of the best property in that dis
trict.
Working the Carrie Mack.
In addition to the properties the COM
pany owns and has under its care. there
are several active properties which at
present are being developed, and which
it is expected will show excellent rsults
before very long. The company is now
pushing the work on the Carrie Mack
mine on the desert near Silver island
and the results obtained thus far from
the work which has been done more
than satisfy the management that their
confidence in the property was not mis-
placed. The mine has shown some Won
derful results, but the exact amount
which ii has been able TO produce is
not made public. 1t can be taken for
granted that the mine is something
really worth while in the mining world
or the company would not be as heavi-
ly interested in 1t as it is at present
with no desire to let go.
This may be said of all of the things
which the company has in charge. They
are all of them good-only some of them
are better than others. The company
is conducting the operations at the st.

then cyanided.
BY combining these three processes
a very satisfactory extraction is Sc
cured.
All ore running under $35 is sent to
the mill, and anything higher is shipped
direct to the smelter.
Does Good Work.
Mr.. George u. Edwards, who was for
merly in charge of the Consolidated
Mercur mine at Mercur, has for the
past two years conducted the work on
the Lincoln mine. Since he took charge
of the property he has made several
changes and Improvements which have
resulted in a material reduction of the
operating costs, and also in a higher
percentage of extraction.
