COLUMBUS EX. EPS : 1 SPLEim 01 Up Seventy Feet Without Reaching Any End to. New . Resources. Judging from the news received yesterday yes-terday from Altfl the Columbus Extension Ex-tension management Is meeting with splendid success In opening the new ore body. In the. cant raise a distance of 70 feet, has been driven, all In tine grade ore. and a Ftrenk of about 0 Inches of $30 ore has widened to about a fcetv t h copper, silver, lend and gold values bringing bring-ing it close to the $100 per ton point. This rich streak, however. Is not all the shipping rock there is. as It occurs within the breast of shipping grade throughout. The width of the new body is not determined yel as crosscut ling has not been started, but It la known that the ore occurs within a fissure which is 40 feci in width at the point of discovery discov-ery and that some fine ore can bo had throughout the entire width. While the shipping ore is not expected to occupy the whole fissure, the sine of the vein simply demonstrates the possibilities. The west raise still keeps going Into the same ore. and tho two raises are.2n0 feet apart. As stated recently by General Manager Tony .lacobson. this dlscovcrv Rives at least 2000 feet vertically below the surface, sur-face, while It is fully a half mllo on the dip to the outcropping of tho same vein. And the management did not expect this ore until tho tunnel has been sent ahead 800 feet from the point of new discovery. I
