The Jayhawker group, on Deer creek.
is owned by Larry Mcconnell of this
| city. It is a silver-lead proposition,
and is at present under lease to Dan
Riley, who reports it looking well.
The Bodies and Friedman fraction.
also on Deer creek, are owned by s. j.
Friedman of this city; they are patent
ed and considerable work has been
done upon them.
| The New Comet, owned by ]. F.
KinsIey, is near the head of Deer creek;
the owner has worked in and around
| the property for years, and some very
| rich silver-lead ore has been shipped
from this property.
On the Little Smoky.
John Schwab and C. Nelson have
the Little Smoky, about forty miles
from here. This property shows excel
lent values and seems to grow richer
as work is pushed on The owners
have bonded the claim for a fair price,
and it is hoped some one with capital
will take hold, as the property is
promising one, and needs only devek
opment to demonstrate that the great
gold reef extends at least thus far from
the gold belt, twenty-five miles north
east.
The Sunday mine, in Smoky, a silver
lead proposition, has been worked by
Hon. P. M. Bruner. the owner, off and
on for years. This fall he struck
very rich streak of silver-lead ore,
which, so far as has been worked on,
shows permanence. Mr.. Bruner will
likely operate the property this winter.
The Tyrannis group, silyer-lead. also
in Smoky, is owned by H. NJ Richard
and ]. S. Thorndike of Paris, France.
During the past season a deep tunnel
has been driven on the property, but
has not caught the vein encountered
above. A raise, however. was made
from the tunnel, cutting the vein, and
good ore body five feet in width en-
countered. They have a mill upon the
property, and from appearances will
run it steadily the coming season.
The Fair Play mine, three miles west
of Haley, is owned by Messrs. Heard,
VOTERS and Chillingworth. This is a
silverlead mine. Developments consist
Of two tunnels on the vein, aggregating
some $50 feet. Ore was encountered in
the lower tunnel this summer and a
trial lot of twelve tons shipped, run
ming ITO ounces silver and 10 per cent
lead. The property is under lease to
John Utsch. He is making good head
way in getting out the ore.
Working the Star.
The Star mine. owned by Lemp and
Talk of Boise, and situated four miles
south of HALEY, is under lease to Hon.
William Martin and others of this city.
The leasers have worked over three
years on this, running a cross-cut near
the bed of the creek to catch the ore
body encountered above, from which
Messrs. Sonnleitmeer and Wolters
made such large shipments. About six
weeks ago they struck a fine body of
ore, which, however, is not believed
to. be the one encountered above.
They have force of eight men work
ing now, and it is believed the old Star
will again join in as a regular produc-
er. The leasers in this property GER
tainly deserve credit for their unbound
ed faith in the property, working that
length of time, not encountering
pound of ore, and hardly expecting to,
until they drove the tunnel in further
than it now is.
The Warm Spring Consolidated group
of claims is owned by State Senator
Carey of this city and Thomas Hamp-
ton of Ketchum. These claims are on
Boyle mountain. about ten miles from

atoms will be resumed in the spring.
A good concentrating mill is operated
in connection with the property.

river, is owned and operated by the
Wolters Brothers. A cross-cut $50 feet
long has been run to catch the ledge,
on "a 81 -.
Meeting with a shaft, almost all of the
run on the vein being in ore. An av-
erage of several carloads shipped this
season gave 80 ounces silver and Sc per

Lone Star Group.
The Lone Star group. in the same
district. is owned by William Weber
of Muldoon. Weber has been develop
ing these properties eight claims)
since 1882 1t is developed by incline
shafts, all of which show considerable
ore of about the same grade as the
Luck Boy. A tunnel is being run much
lower down the hill, to tap the lodges
at greater depth and do away with
the expensive working through the in
clines. Little shipping has been done,
the policy of the owner being to de-
velop so as to have the property in
shape for economical mining. The |
property has, however, even operating
in this manner, practically paid its
way,
The Jupiter group. also in this dis
trict, is owned by William O'Connor of |
this city. Some 500 feet of tunnels and |
cuts have been run. all showing more |
or less good ore. Something over $4,000 |
worth of ore has been shipped from |
this group, which consists of eight |
claims. The property is a promising |
one.
Near the Jupiter group are situated |
the John A. Logan and Eagle Bird |
Consolidated claims, patented. They are |
owned by G. l.. and H. w. Ravens OF |
Denver. The ledge is proven on the |
surface for 1900 feet. and has been cut !
in numerous places by tunnels and |
cuts. The ledge throughout shows a |
good grade of ore.
The Rippeto claim, also patented, adj |
joins these claims, and considerable de- |
velopment has been done.

The Elkhorn mine. about three miles
east of Ketchum. and from which $110,-
900 was taken in the early sos, is I'M |

and Pat Clarke, who have "a force of |
men endeavoring to put the old-time |
bonanza on paying basis. The ledge !

if the vein can be encountered it will |
be found as rich as of old.
The Queen of the Hills and Minnie |
Moore. near Broadford, still lie idle. |
Henry M. Ryan has obtained lease on |
part of the Queen dump, and intends in |
