/ Statesman. Boise Ida: j. Brumback
bhaS returned from Denver. He states that
they have made arrangements with a
! party of Chicago people to take hold of
the Black Hornet mine. The Denver peo-
pie who contemplated purchasing the
mine declined to go ahead with the mat
ter. The reason for their failure to pro-
coed is not known to Mr.. Brumback He
never learned what the returns were from
! the lot of ore that Mr.. Clemens took to
Denver. He does not care anything about
| it, as he knows there is plenty of good
ore in the mine. 1t is very possible the
ore taken by Clemens, being carelessly
loaded. ran below the average of the mine
Parties who saw it taken cat have ex-
pressed the belief that most of it was
wall rock. The Hornet shipped 1,500 tons
to Denver that was high grade; they dc
not nave to rely upon any sample lot to
/ determine what the value of the ore is.
Recorder, Salmon. City. Ida: j. M. Cum
/ mings was in town Monday He says his
mining property known as the Cummings
/ group, is showing up better than ever, as
1 development work proceeds. He is now
driving the tunnel ON the main vein. The
face of the tunnel is IS feet below the out
crop. and has six feet of ore equally as
rich and as free milling as any yet found
in any of the four veins which constitute
| the group. He expects in a few days tC
show to the doubters that the vein is not
only six feet wide, but more than double
that, as there is still another vein of sever
! feet that is separated by q horse, which
will require this tunnel to be, driven ter
or 15Sfeet further, to where the two veins
unite. When this point is reached, there
is no doubt but that the vein will be more
than Y feet wide. The ore in this weir
will give an average assay of SILL
while five feet of the same will average
$50.
