The Black Horse Mine.


The Elack Horse mine situated on
BOYLE Mountain about fifteen miles
west of Ketchum and operated by Bos-
ton company, VIM Floyd, Superinten-
dent. has been doing fine work all win
ter and has developed magnificent ore
bodies. About 500 tons of first-class
lead ore are now on dump. filing Il large
log ore house, and under the present
rate of progress it is estimated that 900
tons or more will be ready for the smell
tiers by May LIST. The ore vein is from
six inches, the narrowest place, to six
feet the widest place, in width, and the
stopping ground now developed is extern
siye. The Black Horse is thus destined
to figure prominently as new contri-
butor to our home smelling industry,
and will assist very much the increasd
value of our bullion export for 1884. Its
output last year was comparatively
| light, but when we consider the proba-
| BILE product for 1884, laying side the
readiness of 1000 tons by May LIST by
10 means II small item, We behold very
preccptibie demand for additions

The Lion Mine.

Authentic news comes from Vienna
that the main tunnei OF the Lion mine
now i'll 100 feet is working in lodge mat
ter and supposed to be within 20 feet Of
the ore VEN. Hollow and mysterious
sounds come from the head OF the works
which cannot be accounted for unless
caused by the proximity OF some por-
ton Of the Vienna mine adjoining. This
however is only probable. The Vienna
and Lion mines have long been sup
posed to be upon one and the same ore
vein, in fact it became 80 evident last
fall that the Vienna and Lion compa-
MES beheld the necessity of establish
ing boundry working lines, which they
did through compromise The Lion has
not heretofore figured Prominently as
an ore producer, but its possession Of an
immensely valuable ore body cannot be
doubted. The tunnel now pushed will
soon encounter this ore, and the Lion
will undoubtedly furnish large qranti-
| ties of ore to the market III the working
j season OF 1884.
