HORSE MOUNTAIN
OUTLOOK IS FINE
Old Prsspsetsr a.d Miner Pc
diets Brilliant Future for
Brush Greek District
lady BELLE A MINE.

Tho following letter, written BY the
veteran prospector and miner, John
Weiskopf, and printed in the New
Years edition Of the Eagle Enterprise,
plainly indicates the faith which Mr..
Weiskopf has in the Horse Mountain
properties in which many Of our local
people are purchasing stock:
The Eagle Mining District, which
spranz into existence through the dis
covery of the Lady Belle and other pro
perties on Horse Mountain, has not
mad. th> progress that vas expected,
and tho prediction at that time that
Eagle wonld grow from = small village
to city of many thousand did not
matcrialize. However, the prophecy
may yet be fulfilled as the outlook
has never been brighter. With the
Horse Mountain company working full
blast and the recent rich silver and
copper strike by Chas. Cram and part
ner makes the future appear bright in
deed.
The Lady Belle is no longer a pros
pect, but mine, with thousands Of
tons Of milling ore in sight and .
dump that will return big values the
minute the mill is erected and rsady to
grind out the rich material contained
in the vein matter that could not be
shipped during the early workings cf
the mine when silver was lowering
around the 50-cent mark. e-

should not require many months to
reach the ore.
The company did some work on the
North Dakota, mostly timbering, in
order to keep the property in condi-
tion, as . mill test will be made on
that orc by The American Continuous
Retort company, . Denver eoncsrn,

then the Horss Mountain company will
be ready to do business With the Den-

ing raised, not only for the mill, but
for all machinery required BY tAs

We are greatly pleased to be able
