 The Canadian parties who recent lv purchased the Garcia property near Wickenburg are developing an apparently very good mine. The ore near the surface was fabulously rich in places, and as far as develop ment has progressed the ore body is continuous, though not so rich as the chUice picked specimens from near the surface. The company has machinery for a ten stamp mill al Wickenburg, which they propose placing on the mine soon.
 The ore body in the Buster mine at the face of the so foot drift, is now in solid ore from top to bottom and from side to side. The ore body l has been widening gradually in the i drift ever since 1t was first struck 1 till yesterday. when it covered the | whole face of the drift, as stated. l The ore is comparatively soft and easily worked, and they are averag- ing about tour feet daily in running the drift. A portion of the ore carries a high per cent of copper, besides being rich in gold. This property gives every promise now of developing into dividend payer.

Best. of Denver, represent ing the Beam process for the reduc- ton Of ore, has been in town for several days, and proposes to make a thorough examination of the mineral resources of this section, with a , view of putting in a plant at some point.

The Colorado par les who have taken hold of the ' wallow mine are working full time z prospecting the property, and . 1ey are very much pleased with it, v le sale of the mIne will no doubt :. ssult. A large force of men is |, II nployed making a wagon road to s' le Lehman mine, which was pur- .I 1ased few weeks ago by Utah ii arties, in order that the new ma .n, n linery which the company will put r, T the property can be hauled from - le railroad to the mine. There is " ore interest in the Castle creek tu strict nov, he says, than ever r ,fore. and he looks for some very S lportant sales to follow the inves- 1' S gations of the mining men who Ie n @ now there. W The old Vulture mine is coming vi
 the front again. Ten of the W ghty stamps of the mill were gr srted up few days ago on ore at om a ne% strike in the mine. Some of nc ago work was started sinking to new shaft some distance from the st. 1 workings where the vein showed th 'reasing values as depth was at m, ned on 1t. There was a percep- mi 'le widening of the vein from the its irt until 1t has assumed widths ha rylng from twenty to thirty inches ar,
