Another recent improvement of great
Importance is the extension of the Con-
tinental tramway from the mines to
Tanners Flat. by means of which the
wagon haul over several miles of the
worst part of the mountain road is
eliminated. This reduces materially the
cost of handling the shipping ores
With these properties TO work on. it
may be seen that the task which has
confronted Mr.. Jacobson and his assO-
ciates the past few years has been no
easy one. They have worked hard and
we'll and the results they have obtained
are a credit TO themselves and 10 the
energy and perseverance of western
mining men, Nothing has been too big
for them to tackle. They have steadily
met and overcome ali the obstacles of
mining in the Alta district. and they
were not few and far between in the
days past. They have diverted the nat
ural resources of the camp to their own
use, and they have saved money on
which they have worked their proper

perienced miner in the intermountain
country today than President Jacobson

SOUTH COLUMBUS.

The South Columbus mines are in fine
shape, and have been keeping up the
high average of production during the
entire year During the past few weeks
the ore body in the lower, or main.
tunnel, has been cross-cut for more
than twenty feet. Most of the ore found
here is milling ore, but there has also
been found in it considerable high
grade ore. One sample of the ore which
was taken from this portion of the mine
was assayed by the management a few
weeks ago and found to contain, out of
piece of ore Weighing 100 pounds. so
per cent copper and from 90 TO 100
ounces Of silver Per ton The rock also
carries gold values
During the past few weeks the COM
panies have both been shipping on an
average of twenty tons of carbonate
ores a day.
The East Columbus. enc of the new
companies of the jacobson mines. has

the next two months. This property Is

economical development by means of
tunnels. Soon after the Wedge com
pany was formed. IT became apparent
that II was desirable for the two COM
panies to merge. The first work done
by the new company resulted in the
opening al the surface of an ore BODY
which was found TO have its origin in
the South Columbus ground. This BODY
of ore could be worked to greater ad-
vantage in the workings OF the South
Columbus property. Accordingly. a

to the depth of $50 feet in Wedge
ground. The ore proved up TO expecta-
tons to that depth, and then work was
transferred to drifting for the new ore
from the South Columbus lower tunnel.
which will open the ore body at great
er depth.
Within the ground Of the Quincy
passes the same vein that pierces the
property of the Columbus Consolidated.
1t can therefore be readily seen that a
great advantage was gained for the de-
veiopment on the South Columbus when
the Alta Quincy WAS added TO the eS-
tate of the former.
The operators who had charge of the
work in the mines before the consolida-
ton took place. had left much good ore
in the channels which. because of its
low grade. had previously been unavail-
able for shipping purposes. But inme-

two companies. President Jacobson

opened up the splendid bodies of ore of
high grade. These ores are high in
copper. Many of the samples which
were encountered after the work was
under way showed at least 80 per cent.
This ore came from the first crosscut

mel. and the same high grade ore oc-

8 to per cent in copper.
Carrying out the plan of development
which had been laid out by the company
the management drove from a point
about 200 feet lower than the first
workings and the same excellent results
were obtained here as had been encoun-
tered in the other part of the mine.
The venture into the South Columbus
mine originally was one that required
a deal of good judgment and nerve.
The returns. however. during the past
year from the consolidated properties
have more than fulfilled the predictions
President Jacobson made. There is
every indication that it will soon rank
second in production to its illustrious
neighbor on the north.
The consolidation of the South CO.
lumbus and Quincy properties in 1906
was one of the most important deals in
the mining world of that year. The
consolidation brought the properties
under one management and into one
company. A treasury of 5000, 900 was
originally provided for the development
of the consolidated properties and ma
chine drills were at once employed in
opening up the old assures that had
been previously cut in the tunnels of
the old companies. Extensive surface
improvements have been completed
during the past year that cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. A new board
ing house has been put up similar to
the one on the property of the Column
bus Consolidated that will accommodate
$50 men. The office buildings that have
been put up are complete and modern
