During my stay here" said Mr. Roo

isfied myself concerning the future OF

pletcd arrangements for the handling Of

Is the purpose Of the Unity company TO
completely rebuild this line extend il

canyon 10 Wasatch and make II do the
business for which II was originally de
signed. IL will be some time next fail

transportation problem are receiving at
te1tion, but il is too soon TO discuss
them
A fun examination of the Unity COM
pany's Continental property by Manager
lee has shown that there are immense
reserves of carbonate ores available for
shipment when the tram has been made
serviceable. In the meantime it is. pro-
posed to go down deep for the sUlphde
ores from the Grizzly tunnel Geological
conditions in our own and SURROUNDING
properties. as well as a study of cOndi-
lions in the Columbus Consolidated. has
been most satisfactory to Mr.. Lee and
he predicts great future for the entire
camp.
Boosts Columbus Consolidated.
Il consider the Columbus Consolidated
one of the most remarkable properties
have ever had the good fortune to visit
and the management IS one that Is well
nigh perfect. The company system Of
keeping accounts. its records of DTOduC-
ton. development costs. etc, are the best
! ever saw The dividends so far paid
and ordered have been earned from the
ores extracted in doing development and
only small per cent Of the mines pro-
duction has come from stopping opera
tions. From a curSOTy examination of
the ore bodies exposed on the 3GO-fOot
level below the tunnel | should say there
is not less than S5.000.GN0 worth Of ore
ready for extraction and shipment. on
the showing the stock of the company is
cheap at 81 a share and my only re-
Cret is that the stock is not better known
in the eastern markets. where active
trading would result ON basis Of known
values if tho mine was better known and
understood.

comfortable board and lodging house.
with its clean rooms, iron beds, spring
rooms and other conveniences and com
forts. are things that il is impossible for
the visitor to overlook.
AT the Columbus Consolidated and all
other properties in the camp, for thar
matter, a spirit of optimism is every
where present and it BODIES good for the
district.
Some of the Active Mines.
Active development is being pros
ecuted at the City Rocks, where a 1900
foot tunnel is to be driven to tap the
splendid ore bodies 500 feet below the
bottom Of the present deepest workings
''fhe Flagstaff Consolidated is being
developed actively along the same lines
and in a few months the sulphide zone
should be reached.
Work on the South Columbus Con-
sOlidated properties is also being active
~ pushed. with sufficient money in the
treasury to make of the proposition one
OF the large producers of the district.
e Albion has already reached the
sGlphide zone and with still greater
depth will tap the same character of rich
sulphide ores that has made a marvel OF
the Columbus Consolidated
