SOUTH COLUMBUS MERGER.
Details OF Its Consolidation With Alta
Hecla Properties.

Many copper country people are in
terested I'm the fortunes of the South
Columbus and the Alta Hecla proper
ties in Utah, and in the recent decision
to form merger of the two concerns,
which was acted upon at meeting OF
stockholders held recently at Salt Lake
City, at which Thomas Coughlin of
this city represented the interests of
many copper country shareholders.
At the meeting held for the purpose
of the joining issues of the South
Columbus Consolidated Mining COM
pany and the Alta Hecla, most all OF
the larger stockholders We're present
and smaller ones were represented by
proxies. Practically all present ia
miliar with existing conditions We're
I'm favor of the merger. 1t was claimed
bv a few that the South Columbus
had greater values than Alta Hecla,
but considering the whole situation,
however, the majority of those at the
meeting, after personal investigation
and inspection of the properties, de-
cided I'm favor of the coalition, by a
vote of 355.33O for and 49.35S against.
Mr. Coughlin states that on looking
over the South Columbus properties
on the day he spent in the camp he
observed several veins carrying gold,
silver, lead and copper, some of which
were 80 to 40 feet I'm width and run
ming rom S1a to $40 TO the ton, but
these have been opened up only a
short distance. Some smaller veins on
the property have higher values, run
ming as high as $50 to the ton, but are
not opened up. sufficiently to give an

on the Alta Hecla they have opened
one vein that is forty feet i'm width and

of the Ripley foundries or anywhere
else.
1t was stated this morning by G.. A.
Royce, secretary of the Portage Foun-
dry and Machinery company that the
total loss would run from $4,000 to
$4,000, the greater part of which re-
suits from the destruction of about
one hundred thousand feet Of pattern
lumber stored in the warehouse and
coke shed. For this lumber sixty dol
lars a thousand was paid, some of 1t
being of a grade impossible to replace
In The upper peninsula. The lumber
piled outside and which was destroyed
was of a lesser grade.
While there is a large insurance on
the plant i'm general, that on the part
burned was comparatively small. ag-
gregating only about two thousand
dollars. The amount of coal and coke
consumed was not so great as at first
supposed, and the loss on this will
not be large. There were about five
hundred tons of soft coal in the coal
she'd and a couple of hundred tons OF
coke the loss on the latter 1t being inn
possible to exactly guage until thor
ough examination has been made. The
machinery stored i'm the warehouse
will not. it is thought, be a total loss
as most of II was of such nature
that II can be used again, although II
will involve considerable expense to
put 1t i'm shape
AS to whether the coal sheds and
the warehouse WIN be rebuilt nothing
has as yet been determined. Mr. Royce
thinks 1t probable that storage room
NAV be found for the winter I'm other
buildings of the plant and that the re-
building will not be undertaken until
spring.
No clue has been found that Will IN
dicate the origin of the fire. Mr.. san
ouist the watchman who discovered
the blaze, was making his rounds ana
at one station looked out of the WIN
dow and saw nothing amiss. Al the
next station ne again glanced out over
the wards and building and saw the
FIRE bursting from the coke sheds and
he Immediately sounded an alarm. The
fire Is one of the most serious that mas
occurred in this vicinity, from the
amount of financial loss involved III
n long time. and II is remarkable tha'
Il did not reach larger proportions OF
account of the high wind and the lone
time which elapsed before the fire de-
partments were able to reach th'
scene.
