BLACK HORSE IS IMPROVING

Five feet of ore is exposed in the
face of the drift of the Black Horse
mine near Murray. One third Of
the ore body is solid shipping and
the balance is high grade milling.
Samples of the ore were brought
back by Patrick Burke this week.
The vein was intersected in the
lower crosscut at a distance OF 795
feet and the ore shoot has been
drifted on for AZ feet. The ore
shoot was found to be 300 feet long
in the No. 2 tunnel and owing to
the greater depth in the present
workings it is expected that it will
prove even greater on this level.
The company is at present en-
ploying ten men.
A Pelton water wheel has been
installed for ventilation purposes.

GOOD ORE IN the IRON MASK


One Of the most important
strikes made in the Carter, Mont,
district for long while was recent.
ly reported from the Iron Mask
Six feet of good milling silver-lead
ore is said to have been opened up
in the drift.
The Iron Mask property is
situated on Spring gulch, near
Carter. The property adjoins the
Marguerite.
There is much excitement re-
ported in Carter and Iron Noun
tain over the strike. The ore was
encountered in the drift, the tunnel
now being in 900 feet with a depth
OF about 500 feet.
The men have been getting
pockets Of ore right along but this
is the first time the main body of
ore was found. The ore continues
in the face of the drift and is said
to be improving in quality.

probabilities are it will he taken up.
II the deal goes through it is the
intention to equip the property
with compressor plant, which
will be driven by water power and
other machinery for full operation.
In doing the annual assessment
work 2O-foot ledge was opened up
carrying values in lead and silver.
Crystallized lead is also scattered
throughout the face. Considerable
development work has been done.
In a 2S-foot shaft some good
looking ore was encountered and
lower down drift was started.
This is now in 32O feet, but it will
require an additional 800 feet to
get under the first showing and
from this point it is 700 feet further
to get under the ore encountered in
the shaft when they will have u
depth OF about 500 feet.
While not yet under the shoot,
the face OF the drift is showing
more or less ore. There is general
activity in mining on Pine creek.
