NEW STRIKES.
THE PARKER AND SILVER
STAR TO THE RROvT.
THE PARKER.


ing the past winter, was the
scene of an important strike
on Wednesday, the 31st
ultimo. Working in an upraise
above No. 2 level, about 125 feet
east of incline, a five foot ledge
was struck carrying twenty-five
inches of an ore streak and twelve
inches of solid galcna which is
fully up to the standard value OF
the first.class galena ore. Prof.
Jenney, from whom we learn the
above, states that the ore body is
very promising and can be definitely
determined in a few days. A crew
will be put on the mine immedi-
ately and within one week it will
be operating in full blast. The new
strike is about 200 feet on vertical
from the surface and in a large
chute of working ground.
THE SILVER STAR.
A fine body of gray copper ore
about twenty inches in width
was struck in the Silver Star mine,
of the Philadelphia Mining and
Smelling Co., on the 9th ultimo,
i'm the face of the west drift, about
800 feet under the surface. The
ore is exceedingly high grade and
will assay in the thousands. This
is a very important discovery to
Ketchum, as the ore from that
locality will be reduced almost
exclusively at this point. The
Smoky road will now undoubtedly
be pushed to completion with all
possible speed and is destined to be
busy highway during the coming
season. The p. Nj. e. S. Co. has
several other properties looking
we'll in that locality, among which
is the Salamander, and the 0 c,
King of the West, Carrie Leonard
and Isabella are all looking very
we'll at the present time and will
probably contribute largely to our
local smclters.
THE IRVING.
News comes to town that Mike
Carey has hit it in the Irving mine
on Boyle Mountain and has ten
inches of galena, in the main west
incline, about 100 feet from the
surface.
THE SUNDAY.
The lessees of the Sunday mine
shipped five tons of ore a few days
since and received for it $4,000.
This is a fine showing on a samll
scale.
THE BLACKHORsE.
The Blackhorse mine, operated
by Mr.. L. E. Clohecy and under the
foremanship of NJ. Carey, is report

very well and gives promise OF q
considerable yield.
ERA MINES.
A correspondence to the KEY
STONE from Era states that the
Blackfoot road is open through to
Era and that some freight is already
going over it. Horn Silver ore is
being shipped out over that road
The mines at Era, Lava and on the
Dry Fork of the Antelope are show
| ing good ore where work has been
progressing through the winter.
