Michigan Mining Man Greatly
Pleased With the Show
ings in Property.
GREAT CHANGE SINCE
HIS LAST INSPECTION
Thinks Property Destined to
Earn at Rate Equal to
Any Other,

Charles Chynoweth of Calumet
Mich, whose long connection with thu
Columbus Consolidated company as ;
heavy stockholder illustrates the kinc
Of faith he has reposed IN that com
pany and property, returned Sunday
evening from n visit to the property al
Alta. This is Mr., Chynoweth s first
visit for practically n year, and he was
decidedly enthusiastic yesterday over
what he saw at the mine. Mr. Chyno
weth said to The Tribune:
''lf one permitted a year To inter
vene between his visits to the mIne OF
the Columbus Consolidated company at
Alta he would perceive nm improve.
ment that is simply beyond descrip-
tion. 1t is difference for the better,
just as Calumet or Salt Lake City has
improved over conditions existing thirty
years ago. The Columbus property is
simply in its development stage. al
though there arc sufficient ore reserves
available TO keep force of 100 stopcrs
busy for an indefinite period
1.-THE No. D shaft is being sent down
from. the 300-foot level. and il Will tap
resource eventually that would make
any property great in itself, Then the
ore bodies beng demonstrated by means
OF tho upraisc from tine 300-foot level
are splendid, sufficient 10 establish the
usefulness and the pcrmancncy of any
mine. ! took a sample from the ores
row being encountered in this raise in
It's journey TO tho 200-foot level, and
while it can not be said TO be the gen
cral average of the whole body. 1T is
not an unusual ore for this raise, |
could have secured any amount of orc
that was exactly similar
Upon being assayed this sample
averaged 20 per cent copper, 120 ounces
Of silver, and $1,000 gold TO the ton. If

were il 10 begin active stopping in this
new resource. there would be no prop
erty in the State of Utah that could
make better earnings, and steady earn
lngs at that. These things are all to
come in time, and il will not be so very
long either.
. Let me emphasize one fact that
should never be overlooked when talk
ing the Columbus into consideration.
There has been no work done below the
300-foot level, except in No shaft,
and this work has Just been commenced.
All the resources, therefore, so far de-
Velopcd are on or above the 300-foot
level. What will the mine be when the
same ore bodies are demonstrated on
the 400-foot level, and the 500-foot
level, or even deeper, as no ono can be-
lleve that the resources will be cut of
by nature at a very shallow depth?
A>''iA WI luf 'uO"lpbb ItNeI one can
hnd evidences in abundance of leach
ing, and this should speak for richer
ores deeper in the property
am looking for mine of my own,
and l would like 10 purchase the prop
erty owned by the South Columbus Con
soidated company. This property right
now is Just where the Columbus Consoli~
dated was three or four years ago, and
IN less time than that it will be press.

overdrawing the situation one bit, YOU
SIMPLY can not appreciate what the Co !

Mr.. Chynoweth left Monday evening |
Tor Denver, and shortly Will return en- |
route TO Ierington and other Nevada
districts.
