We present a measurement of the mass difference Delta m_d for the B^0 meson and the statistical power of the b flavor tagging methods used. The measurement uses 90 pb^-1 of data from ppbar collisions at sqrt s = 1.8 TeV collected with the CDF detector. An inclusive lepton trigger is used to collect a large sample of B hadron semileptonic decays. The mass difference Delta m_d is determined from the proper time dependence of the fraction of B hadrons that undergo flavor oscillations. The flavor at decay is inferred from the charge of the lepton from semileptonic B decay. The initial flavor is inferred by determining the flavor of the other B hadron produced in the collision, either than its semileptonic decay (soft-lepton tag) or from its jet charge. A measurement yields Delta m_d = 0.500 +/- 0.052 +/- 0.043 h- ps^-1, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second uncertainty is systematic. The statistical powers (e D^2) of the soft-lepton and jet-charge flavor taggers are (0.91 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.11)% and (0.78 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.08)%, respectively.
