Abort 1884 Messrs. Flower and
T ldenrich discovered and located
thc now famous mine known rs the
Silver Belle. They ran a tunnel or
the ledge 20 feet ana learned that th
vein was as immense as it was rich.
Mr.. HeidepIfch sold his half OF the
nine to Mr.. Flower shortly after
ward, ard the latter gentleman in
time sold it to Mr.. Louis Sommer,
Of Teiser, Idaho, who subsequently, |
in 1887, purchased the other half
and became sole owGer. In the same
year G. c. Wing, purchased one
half interest Of MIR. Sommer, since
which time these two gentlemen have
been steadily pushing development
on their property. At q distance OF
1865 feet below tie summit of the
mountain upon which the mine is
situated the ore first crops out, and
from here to the summit the whole
vein is exposed. 1T this point tue
first tunnel was begun and pushed
TO distance of 145 feet, all the way
through rich ore. Then they drop
ped down the mountain side 100 feet
and ran in 140 feet and sunk winze
65 feet in depth. Again they ran 8
tunnel 160 seet to the bottom of the
winze and 80 feet beyond, making
the lower tunnel 100 feet in length
and the one still reaching al unknown
distance ahead Besides these tun-
nels there are several cross cuts. tbs
vein is three and one-half feet wild,
and is struck 80 feet from the moutl
of the lower tunnel. The result o
+ these developments is plain to b.
