 Tho Buster copper mine is two miles asst of Peck mill. This mine was sold to English people three years ego. E. D. TreedwelJ, representing the com peuy, has had men st work on the lower tunnel. The old work was driven from the ledge, although the ledge cropped boldly on top. E. E Towner, the fore nsD, changed the course of the tunnel and cross cut what he believes to be shs ledge. The width of the ledge, | matter ard ore, is so far 13 feet and TO wslle.
 Above this tunnel the ledge is strong cropping out alongside heavy trschyte | bluff It is probably 200 feet to the | top of the hill in which this mine is lo- l eated. There is another ledge running 1 shFough near the top. From cropping 1 indications this is ihe main vein.
 The heavy trschyse dykes In which this property is located can be seen for miles cutting thFough canyons ard over l mountains.
 The location brings to view Big Bug, some five miles below Mayer. The county is rough but good roads are | shaws.

 TOWERS GULCH.
 This gu!ch gets it's name from the l celebrated potato ranch located in 8 high altitude of the BradshRws. The mining developments in this section are moving. James Hanleg has bonded the Hoosier to Adeen Alexander, of Los | Angeles, receiving $500 down. On this claim the lower tunnel Is driven 40 feet while the upper is in 50 feet. The | average width of the ledge is three feet.
 The Buster group, located in same section, compring she Buster, Mary Jane and Pictou mines, were also bond sd to Alexander. The Buster is well 1 named. The bottom driftOf the Buster
 is in 40 feet, all in quartz Number l drift is iu 16O feet and in ore. Numb is in 40 feet These drifts are driven in on the south side of the guloh. Nine hundred feet up the mountain from No. 40-foot shaft is in CD the ledge. The interested parties are John A. Forbes ard John Mckenzie These gentlemen have been patient and hard working and deserve success. Mir. McKenzie's family live peaE the mines. Men who desire to furnish the un- edultereted to the miners make mis- take by taking advantage Of vacant ground near the mines without first getting permission from the owners. This hes been done by parties in shis camp, end it is doubtful if theiP ven sure succeeds, as the miners will not be permitted to petronze them.
 ca the north and on the same ledge Supervisor Thomas Roach hss prom Isiug claim in the Mohawk. Another canyon cuts thie ledge. On each side of this erIch tunnels have been run, showing four feet of quarts The ore from the surface of this ledge has been arrastreed.
