The property belonging to the

John Anderson and VIM. Goring
have taken lease on the Bob Roy
mine. This mine is relocation of
what was once the Back Pay" and
is situated about two and half
miles east of Ketchum. The Bob
Roy is owned by George Steward
and II. c. Lewis. The property has
a good reputation and considera-
BILE amount of high grade ore has
been shipped during former work
ings of it. We wish the boys who
have taken hold of it now abundant
success. Success to the lessees
would not only benefit themselves
but would also be of help in the
way Of making more business for
ketchum, for the opening up of
good paying property so near to
town could not fail Of being an
advantage.
sAWTOOTH.
The Vienna Mining Company
have several men at work exploring
and upraising from the lower works
of the Vienna. This company has
lately leased their AIturas mine to
a couple of competent miners who
are meeting with good success in
working the mine.
The Silver King mine has been
closed down for the winter. More
extensive hosting works and other
machinery will be required before
further work can be done upon this
mine. They will not be put in be-
fore spring, and, meanwhile, the
mine will be idle.
S. H. Hays has lease on the
Pilgrim mine at Sawtooth, and is
three men. They have but
recently begun, so it is impossible
to tell what degree of success they
will meet with, but as the Pilgrim
has always had the reputation of
being fine mine, it is safe to pre-
diet that the lessee will do well.
Two men are running a drift on
the vein in the main tunnel of the
Justice mine at Sawtooth, owned by
Ole Opeland and others. They have
found some very good ore, and the
prospects are that they will strike
t IN paying quantities soon.
George Bohnett, who is working
he Chauncy mine located on the
eastern slope of Lake creek canyon,
will soon be prepared to make
| shipment of high grade ore to
hetchum.
John Lynch is still working the
Eagle mine, which is situated about
/ mile above the Pilgrim. With |
continued work the mine is making
/ very good showing. Mr.. Lynch
las considerable high grade ore
eady for shipment.
Although none of the large COM
'anies, excepting the Vienna, who
,wn mines in the Sawtooth district,
re working their properties, still
here is considerable work being
lone on many different mines in
he district by individual owners
nd lessees. None of the Sawtooth
mines have ever "petered out" but
II of them respond promptly to
SYSTEMATIC work, and improve with
very stroke Of the pick. The dis
riot will come to the top some time.
III it needs is capital and labor
ldiciously applied.
