"1rs growing bigger and better
every hour" This gladstone news
was received by manager Tony Jacob
son of The South Columbus Consolidat-
cd by phone from that property sew
cral times this morning. In fact Mr.,
jacobson stayed close 70 his office 70

jacobson. In charge Of the mine, call
I'd up again to report on the showing
of the new ana made there several
days ago. While Manager jacobson
did not term the find a strike, he adj
nitted that he is as delighted AZ a boy
with a new pair Of Vcd-top boots over
the improved showing Strike or
no strike reports from the mine bring
the Information that seven feet of
Gro has been opened in the lritt
started some time ago from the Alta
Quincy tunnel. In this seven feet Of
ore there rs two feet OF 20 pes cent
copper ore. Samples in Mr. Jacob
sons of6ice in This city show the stuff
To- be a heavy Peacock copper ore
N addition to running 20 per cent
copper the stun will go az high as
100 ounces in silver.
WHOLE FACE IS ORE.
The Alta-Quincy tunnel has peen
driven in the side of the hill Tor
distance of l,SO0 feet David Keith
w. W. Armstrong and number OF
other We'll known mining magnates
drove this tunnel but failing to reach
the real stun discontinued work. Mn
Jacobson ,hen got in by buying con-
uol NJ the property In the local stock
market. This was done as quietly as
possible, but repeated buying
strengthened the stock and Mr.. ia
ccbson put up a pretty penny to get
trf-n "A deserved
success MI. jacobson does for he
spent his own money 10 acquire
property which the shrewdest men
in the irtermountan region had fail
ed to prove up. There has been no
promotion, nor stock selling at all.
As soon as he got In control he start
ed a drift at right angles with the
Alta quincy tunnel. commencing
work ON a hole started by FORMER
managers OF the mine. At 500 feet.
the distance reached just a few days
ago the face Of the drift was i'm
heavy copper ore. Since then work
has been pushed right into the ore
and it is growing richer every hour,
No attempt has been made TO deter
mine the width Of the find, but that it
IL big body Is as certain as any
showing could he.
FIND is BIG.
The shpWings IN the drift have
been excellent right along. Work
has been cut through the white
lime towards the contract formed by
this and black lime and just as was
expected the contact is proving 10 be
highly mineralized. The vein being
opened In the South Columbus Con-
solidated is a continuation Of the
bonanza find" which made the Co
lnmbus Consolidated u big mine, The
contact in the latter property is also
formed by white lime and black lime
and while the new discovery Is at a
greater vertical depth this was not
surprising MS il Was thought the vein
dipped toward She north.
VEIN WAS PARALLELED.
Samples are to be rushed To the
assayer SO a true value OF the rock
can be obtained Il Is not unlikely
that the ore will go even higher than
estimated The find means great
deal for Alta and is another scalp in
"Chief Not-afraid" Jacobson. An in
teresting feature is that former man
ayers OF the property In driving the
Alta Quincy tunnel have paralleled
for $500 feet the very vein they we're
trying TO hnd.
