foundest pity or extreme amuse ment to the mining man who jour. neys hundreds of miles with a slow burro train to merely examine some doubtful mining property.
 The terrible dry season which am told is the dryest that has been experienced for many years is a seri. ous drawback in operating the mill as it has been in almost all otheI branches Vf industry. and it cannot be fairly expected that operations will be resumed before January, 1900. But the mines have been con tiuuOuslv worked running double and treble shifts daily with excellent results. The tunnels have been driven to exceed 200 aud 250 feet, shafts have been sunk 30 and more ' feet aud there has been work done to aggregate 650 feet, iR addition to the work already done before started up by this company. The ore piled upon the siuFBp ss expected to run ! tue mill steadily when started in alotion or when sufficient water IS to be had. Besides this construe- tion and development work an office. assay office. bunk houses, boarding house, repair shops and other i'm provements have been placed upon the ground aud good roads and other necessary improvements are at hand.
 To see some obscure place in a mountain fsstness, where 1t would seem that huma foot seldom if ever had tTod, transformed as If in a day Is, to speak mildly, astonishing. To see new mining camp or city in miniature spring up with its pecul- ar society and individuality, all bending their energies to accom- piish success or to york out the stern problem of livhhood is to wit ness only another of the crowning achievements of tbe west Where is there or indeed ever was there a change so sudden and SO complete from the rude silent state of priui- eyal conditions to the life and stir which night and day charscteriZes the mining csmpf And still it is truly equally surprising that the vast per cent of Ahe people se- Tond the Rocky mountains have not the slightest conception of this giant industry that has made the west SO powerful a factor m Ameri6sn achievements and sue eesses and knowH so broadly throughout the world.
 Seated in one of the picturesque spots of the BradsAaws, where Ihe mountains rise above like some storied amphithesire of medieval time, the Buster group of gold mines are truely in the infancy of a bright future Her broad white veins cleave the mountains to can yons above and valleys below where sister camps Sss growing and thriv- ing.
