Will tanning and N. I. Corey, which
comprise the holdings Of the Buster Creek

pleasant intelligence, to the boys that
they SINK hole on their claims to bed
rock, which they found at IL feet. They
found good pay dirt all the way down,

poor show, as all the creeks for miles
around has been staked out during the
fall and winter.
