I First Time Some Data of Discovery. 1 por several days local circles have H been copnizant of the fact that the 1 management of the South Columbue company up at Alta was breaking into B some fine ore developments, but up to Wednesday General Manager Tony Ja-cobson Ja-cobson has been non-committal, owing to a desire to hurry work in order to ascertain exactly what the company was finding. Yesterday inorninjr Mr. H, .Tacobson acknowledqed that on the 000- Hj t'oot. level somo very encouraging syrup H torn s were being shown. He said that tho management was drifting ou and crosscutun au ore HL bodv, an average sample of which is on H his "desk in tho Judge building. This ore assays 5 to 0 per cent lead, 10 per cent copper and -5 ounces silver per ton, while the iron contents greatly out-' out-' number the units of silica. The crosa- out has penetrated this now bodj' for twenty feet, and only one wall has yet been found. Mr. .Tacobson states that This body occupies what formorly ap-yours ap-yours to have been a large cavo and ho believes that it is going to mako a Hj magnificent ore shoot. Another week or two will give sufficient data to allow tho officials to draw some definite con-clnsions con-clnsions in regard to the extent of the tiud. Tlio oro is holding up well in tho drifts also. The South Columbus is looking ex-Tremely ex-Tremely well in several other places, prominent among which is the shaft bo-iug bo-iug sent from the Quincy tuunel at a point well back in the mountain. This bhafc is down .forty fectf :md is going H through au oro body of silver-lead car- Hf bonalcs that averages 20 ounces silver HT ; " nnd 25 per cent lead, with small gold J values. The management intends to fl i follow this ore to fue water levol, and i n the meantime the bins arc filling up with this and with the rock above de-' de-' i, scribed. The futuro for the South Co-iumbus. Co-iumbus. therefore, has a very gratify-ing gratify-ing cast, much more so than at any pre-vious pre-vious period in its history. 1 Tho Columbus Consolidated company has developed somewhat of an anomaly i yn tho -iOO-foot level. Heretofore tho ores on this level have been sulphides, 1 but shoot No. o, now located about 1300 feet west of the shaft, is showing ear-bonaie ear-bonaie ores of shipping grade. There Is pleotv of water on this level, too, and a body" of carbonates was the iast thiug expected bv the officials of the corn-any. corn-any. Mr. "Jaeobsou says that the drift :s completely in this ore, but he is un--willing ta predict its probable extent until more work has been accomplished on ir. Mr. Jacobeou has remained faith-j'ully faith-j'ully by these two Alia propositions through" thick and thin, and with sue-H; sue-H; cess now flying toward his banner in BL both mines," some very interesting de- volopnients can be expected at prac- j tie ally any day. j |
