MINING and MILLING NOTES.
THE BALTIMORE

THE BALTIMORE
Which has already won much repute as
an immense surface prospect, has really
developed into mine with every fea-
ture indicated on the surface. The first
body Of ore encountered, and the ono
which created much excitment among
prospectors in that vicinity, proved to
be simply an off set from an excellent
ledge. Two days work destroyed it en-
tirely and two hours work subsequently
brought the miners upon a three-foot
ledge of beautiful ore. 1t runs into the
hill at an angle OF 40 degrees and per-
pendicular with the surface. For TWEEN
ty-ive feet, the. distance followed by |
tunnel, it lies in waves, but everywhere |
from three to four feet in width, and
with perfect walls. In the breast OF this
tunnel, the vein changes it's course to
perpendicular and now requires q shaft
The ore is still high grade, but consists
somewhat Of carbonates besides galena.
Mr. Cobaugh came to Ketchum yes
terday for the purpose of hiring crew
OF miners, and he informs us that the
Baltimore will be worked from date
with all possible force. 1t has already
been disclosed at three different places on
| surface, and men will be put to work at
each place. Mr.. Iinkton the expert
visited the mine recently and pronounces
it one of the finest surface showings on
record.
TIE IDA SHARLAND
Recently located by J. G. Cobaugh, is
situated at a distance south one-half
mile from the famous Baltimore pros
pect Mr.. C's known veracity compels
| us to believe him when he says this pros
pect bids fair to equal if not excellin val
ne as mine, the Baltimore. Asyet only
four days work has been done on the
location, and the ledge is irregularly de-
fined. In one place an eight-inch streak
of soft rich ore is noticeable, and in an an
other large body OF black, ann gray
carbonates which assay high. Samples
of galena from the vein assay 229 ozs.
STRIKE IN THE MATTE.
The Mattie mine, on upper Trail creek.
about seven miles distant, which was
recently bonded to Geo. Montgomery.
has developed iuto fine two-foot vein
OF mostly rich galena and carbonates.
The two shifts, night and day, are still
pushing ahead with all possible force.
and will no doubt extract sufficient ore
for large shipments to the Philadelphia
works.

Mime on Greenhorn is under bond for q
few weeks to San Francisco company
THE QUAKER CITY
In Greenhorn gulch, recently purchased
by l. I. Lewis and others, has deyelopef
into an eight-inch pay vein OF the yer,

last Tuesday, and samples taken theme,

which is in fact superior in richness /,
