| the copper being found at a greater
depth than either of the other two met
| ais There are large bodies OF low
grade ore constantly encountered. and
with the development of the property
the past year the high grade bodies are
coming more frequently into evidence
until the latter are almost as numerous
as the lowgrade. Some of the high
grade zones are wonderfully rich in sill
yer. At point about $50 feet out from
the main shaft on the 300-foot level, a
body of ore that averaged 500 ton
was discovered early last year. the ore
carrying copper. silver and gold.
The men who are behind the company
are getting rich from the property and
the mine has proved one of the most
satisfactory investments in the state.
The stock is one of the standard issues
traded in upon the Salt Lake stock ex-
change and other intermountain city
exchanges. 1t is stock for which there
is always market The company
owns about 200 acres of ground. the
most of which is patented
Tony Jacobson is president of the
company and acts as general manager.
He has found, however, an able superin-
tendent in the person of his brother.
A o. Jacobson, who has filled that po-
sition practically from the beginning of
a valuable man in the right place. He
| is possessed of a thorough working
knowledge of the mine and the district,
and is completely wrapped up in the
prospective richness of the property in
the light of further work and develop
ment. Clarence K. Mccormick of Salt
Lake is vice president of the company.
| and has been back of the corporation
| since its organization in 1892. S. A.
Whitney is secretary and treasurer.
These men. with E. r. Hall and
Charles A. Walker. comprise the board
of directors and manage the company.
President jacobson is an example of
the success attending the efforts of
the men who have had the nerve and
| brains to tackle the big ploblems in
volved in the opening up of the western
mining regions. His management of
the Columbus Consolidated has borne
out the predictions he gave utterance
to years ago in regard TO the ultimate
richness of the Alta district and of the
Columbus Consolidated and other prop
critics adjacent. The results he has OBJ
tanned has quoted the doubters. His
success has been even more satisfac-
tory than his most sanguine friends
| hoped for or expected.
The returns that were secured before
any material inroad had been made on
the capital at the command of Presi-
dent Jacobson were principally due to
! the accurate and intimate knowledge
of the undertaking and its possibilities
| possessed by the young operator. 1t
was not by sitting calmly by and pre-
| dieting the location of rich ore bodies
| in the property he was to manage that
| secured for President Jacobson big re-
suits. He had the aggressiveness of
one who is sure of his ground and who
| possesses the energy of youth and con-
| fidence in looking for the fulfllment of
| his promises to hackers and stockhold-
| ers- Alta is responsible for the start
/ Of the brilliant young manager. and
/ just as that il is true, so il is true that
| President jacobson is admitted to be
/ the real diScoverer of the true values
| of the camp, and the one who. in his
| development OF the Columbus Consoli-
/ dated until il reached and passed the
| 100000 a month earning capacity
proved the permanency OF the ore car

son worked in the mines of the district

every vein and fissure in the region
He knows them as old friends, and they
