Black Horse Mill
Some two years ago the Paragon
company purchased all the property
of the Murray Hill Mining company
commonly known as the Black Horse
which included a mill of 100 tons ca
pacity The property joins the Par
agon and both companies had used
the mill. the Paragon owning the wa
ter that supplied the power. Last
winter under the direction of the
late L. w. Stedman, manager of the
Paragon. the Black Horse mill was
overhauled, repaired and additions
made to the equipment, all of which
combined to place the plant in first
class condition for operation. Thus
with the good results being accom-
plshed i'm the development of the
mine, the Paragon seems in line to

of the Prichard creek railroad, which

to transfer the right of way. with all

LOOKS LIKE IMPERIAL
HAD LOCATED THE VEIN
AN INCH STRlNGER OF cRYS
TALLlZED LEAD WlDENS
TO FOUR FEET.

The best showing that has been
disclosed in the lower workings of the
Imperial is now in evidence in a drift
that is being run west from the cross
cut at a point about 300 feet from
the raise, according to a statement
from Homer G. Brown, secretary and
manager of the Imperial Mining COM
pany After raising from the main
tunnel 100 feet, a crssscut was run
south from the top of the raise with
the expectation of intersecting the
VEIN Numerous ore bearing string
ers were cut, but after driving 500
feet no fissure had been found that
could be identified as the vein. In this
situation it was decided to go back
some 200 feet to a stringer that had
been passed through about an inch
thick and which carried crystallized
lead and drift upon it, believing that
it might possibly be the vein. The
results so far of this work have been
most encouraging. Yesterday the
drift had been advanced about -
feet and the inch stringer at the start
had widened to four feet of mineral
lied vein material with crystallized
lead scattered all through it,
Its Position Is Right.
Samples of these lead crystals re
turned 26.7 per cent lead. with low
values in silver. The foot wall is
well defined and a significant feature
of the vein is that it corresponds in
its location. course and dip to the
vein on the tunnel level 700 feet
above. In fact, where the stringer
was cut in the crosscut is within 40
feet of the place where the vein
should have been intersected accord
ing to the company engineers calcu-
ation. Taking into consideration the
great additional depth, this variation
in the downward course of the vein
would not be unexpected, and alto
gether the situation is one that indi-
Gates very strongly that the Imperial
vein has finally been found. while
he showing disclosed is decidedly
favorable to the early development of
4 body of commercial ore.

BELLE OF THE WEST.

Lets Contract for 100 Feet, crossout-
ting and Drifting.
George R. Trask, president and
manager of the Belle of the West
Mining company, stated yesterday
that he had awarded a contract to
drive 100 feet on the property. This
work will consist of prosecuting
from the drift along the hanging wall
north to the foot wall and then drift
ing west along the foot He thinks
it possible that the completion of this
contract will reach the ore shoot, al
though he thinks it probable that it
may have to be further extended.
The drift along the hanging wall has
disclosed a very promising showing
of lead-silver ore, but the rock is ex-
cessively hard and it is believed by
prosecuting softer ground will be en-
countered upon which to continue the
drift and possibly better ore. Mr..
Trask is rapidly recovering from the
serious injuries he received a few
weeks ago through being thrown
from a horse near the portal of the
Belle of the West tunnel

from the property last Saturday
where a few men are employed on
road and other outside work The
bullion company has started the
construction of a road from the mine
down to the grade of an old timber
railroad, a distance of about four
miles, which will provide an easy
outlet to the Milwaukee railroad at

GIANT LEDGE COMPANY
NOW READY FOR A MILL
WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AS SOON
AS METAL CONDITIONS ARE
MORE SETTLED.

Charles G. Taylor. manager of the
/ Giant Ledge Mining company. came
over from Murray last Monday morn
ing to celebrate the Fourth, which
he thoroughly enjoyed and upon the
success of which he cOmplmented the
people of Wallace. Regarding Oper-
atoms of the Giant Ledge company,
Mr. Taylor said work was proceed
ing without interruption, but owing
to the unsatisfactory condition in the
mining industry no attempt was be
ing made to crowd development. Sew
eral years ago. when mining condi-
tions were more favorable and the
North Side had railroad transporta-
ton, the Giant Ledge company had
of a mill and completed the erection
of the frame work of the building
The destruction of the Prichard creek
railroad which has never been rebuilt
and other adverse mining conditions
have prevented the company from
completing the milling plant al
though there appears to be an
abundance of ore to justify it under
normal mining conditions.
Drifting on 400.
At this time the only work going
on at the Giant Ledge is the extern
sion of the drift northerly on the 400
foot level. This has now been ad-
vanced approximately 1000 feet to a
point about 27O feet below the bot
tom of the old Steen shaft, which is
100 feet. Some very good ore, gold.
lead and silver, has been developed
at this point, and Mr.. Taylor says it
will be extended at least 65 or 20
feet further to get under an old tun-
mel in which a good showing of ore
is said to have been exposed many
years ago. This drift northerly has
encountered ore practically through
out its length, which, in view of the
fine showing of ore in the bottom of
the Steen shaft, indicates that the
large block of ground above the level
will prove productive when condi-
lions warrant its exploitation.

MAXWELL TRACTS.

Contract Let for Grading Streets and
Placing Water Main.
J. Fred Maxwell stated yesterday
that he had let a contract for grad
ing streets in the tract he has plat
ted for suburban homes, which in
cludes most of the famous old Mark
well milk ranch, a mile and a half
west of Wallace. He has also given
contract for laying a 6-inch water
main from Revenue gulch, which will
provide each acre and half-acre tract
with pure mountain water.

U. S. siIver-Lead.

r. S Merriam went over to the
property of the United States Silver
Lead Mining company in Eagle dis
trict yesterday to do some engineer
ing work for the company. Work
on the property at this time is con-
fined to a contract to extend the drift
in the lower tunnel, which shows a
strong vein and considerable ore of
milling grade In the upper tunnel
there is said to be a remarkably fine
showing of high grade lead ore with
a higher silver content than is usual
in that section.

UNDERGROUND work at the AmeH-

a week ago and all employees are now
engaged in work preparatory to the
installation of compressor and 9th

development of the property. A wag-

err preliminary work. 1t is stated by
the manager. IL. b. Kingsbury, that
this work and the installation of the
compressor plant will require about a
month and no further work will be
done underground until this is COM
pleted. BY adopting this plan the
management expects to have the
compressor in running order before
it becomes necessary to leavy anoth-
err assessment.
Three Feet Carbonate Ore.
At the time underground work was
discontinued the drift in the new
tunnel had been extended about 100
feet At the point where the vein /
was intersected there was about 6 /
feet of lead-silve ore, carbonate and /
sulphide. the amount and character /

fully three feet of carbonate ore in

feet. The showing so far disclosed
has proved highly satisfactory and
iustifes deeper development which is
now planned AS soon as the COM
pressor is in running order it is the
plan of the management to begin
work in tunnel No /, 400 feet below
the present working level. 1t is pos
sible that this tunnel may be driven
a little further east before crosscut-
ting to the vein. 1t is expected that
this work will result in finding a
body of commercial ore, and later
this will be followed by prosecuting
and exploring the vein through No.
tunnel which is 500 feet below No.
