BRADSHAW MOUNTAINS, Dec. To-
 Special correspondencel The Pine Grove District is also in the Brad shaw mountains, and shows up some of the finest lodges found in the territory.
 The Old Reliable mine and mil are owned by Bashford, Burmister & Listou. The Old Reliable has over 2O0O feet of development work done, and the ore body runs from three to four feet and mills S22 in free gold. This is from hundreds of tons of ore milled. As depth is gained sulphurets come in, but the ore still carries free gold in good quantities. This company also own the Wild Flower group. On these mines l.S00 feet of development has been done. The ledge is from l2 to l5 feet wide. A mill test of l50 tons of ore taken from walt to wall milled SS.50 per ton in free gold and the concentrates went $50 per ton.
 The Del Pasco is owned by Jack son & Vanderbilt. This claim has been bonded and several hundredfeet of work done within the last few months. The Del Pasco has been a great producer, and will be again, as soon as machinery can be put on.
 The Buster is owned by Forbes X Mckenzie. This is bound to be one of the greatest producers of the century. The mine can be worked to depth of 1000 feet by tunnel. The size of the lead and the char acter of the ore make, it one of the cheapest worked mines in the coun- ty. There are three levels run on the ledge. The first is run at a depth ot about 600 feet, and the ore body shown here is from four to six feet wide. On the next level, which is 400 feet below, the ore body runs from four feet to sn unknown width, as the hanging wall has never been reached. Thls tun- nel is in l20 feet. The tunnel on the lowest level is in l35 feet and all in good ore. Forty tons milled at the Old Reliable mill plated S24 and the concentrates were not saved. There are l50 tons of ore on the dump of the second level which samples S20 per ton in sulphurets and free gold. The ore by mill test runs about nine dollars in free gold and concentrates ten to one. Taking an average of the ledge as far as exposed, 1t will go four feet. The ore can be mined for fifty cents per ton, and lcheaper when the mine is more opened. Wood can be bought for $2.50 per ton and water is plenty. There is ore enough in sight to run a 2-stsmp mill for year.
 The Victor is the southern exten- sion of the Buster and is owned by Forbes, Mckenzie x Hanger. The ore body, as far as exposed, is the l same as the Buster, and the value is about the same. The Standard is owned by the same parties, and shows up 3a-foot ledge on an aver age. This mine runs parallel with l the Buster. A tunnel on this claim l run in l65 feet, shows from two to | six feet of ore, which horns well in | free gold and shows Sulphurets in good quantities. No mill tests have been made on this ore, but assays run from SIP to $500. There are 10 | tons of first class ore on the dump | and 20 tons of second class. In a shaft on this property the ledge shows eighteen inches of wonder ] fully rich ore. The gold is very coarse and heavy.
 The Hoosier is a very promising property owned by James Hanger. Several thousand dollars have been taken from the surface of this clam by the arastra process.
 Tom Roach owns the Mohawk, the north extension of the Standard, and has considerable development work done. One hundred tons of ore from this mine plated SIP and the concentrates were not saved.
 The Gladiator is being worked by the same company that Is operating at the Peck, and fine ore is being taken out.
 The Fred. Warren, owned by Chas. is a good claim.
 The Gro Bella Mining Company r owns some five claims in this dis trict, on which they have done con development.
 Junior and Harrington own sev- eral claims on the Cougar ledge. They are called the Cougar, Eclipse and Cadesh. One ton of ore was taken from the Eclipse that went ], 300 ounces in silver. In one place
