Messrs Richardson and Mccoy, owners

the city on business connected with theil
property. These gentlemen once neld tne

"These claims, consisting of the Buster
No. J. Buster No. >, Buster NO. ana
Buster Fraction Lode claims, are situated
in The center OF the Jarbldee district,
lying just south of the Bourne properly
and between the Bourne and the PaVlak
properties. on the extension OF the nam
Bourne ledge where 1t is turned west
down the mountain by great quar,zite
blum.
property IS marked by very prominent
rhyollte dyke which stands UP IN Doln
relief, extending from the river 500 ieet
up the mountain side. and in some places
is nearly 100 feet almost perpendicular
above the general slope OF the mountain.
The surface here is very steep, the slope
being about 35 per cent. inc olHerencS
in elevation from the working near the
river TO the working near the location
notice. near the center OF the claims, be-
ing $50 feet, which shows the large
amount Of backs which can be obtained
by q tunnel from the river level
The vein lies along the north SIDE ol
the dyke and is from ten TO thirty ieet
wide. showing an immense body OF quartz
STANDING above the surface OF the ground.
IT is Identical in formation with the out
crop on the North Star No. 3. whore the
Bourne company is nov saching Sbeo ore
from its tunnel. Small paintings of free
gold can be obtained from the quartz
along the surface Of this outcrop. the
same as is obtained on the surface on
the outcrop OF the Bourne, Pick and
Shovel, Pavlak and other properties In
the camp. and specimens can be found
which show n little free gold TO the eye
or with the aid OF a glass. a large num-
her Of ASSAYS have been made from sam
pies taken all along this outcrop and have
shown values Of 50 TO $50 per ton. The
surface indications are very similar 10 the
other prominent properties IN the camp,
ment at depth viii show much higher
average values as is being shown now In
the Bourne tunnel. the Pavlak tunnel.
and the tunnel on the Boylan lease and
on the Riddle lease,
THE present cut near the river on the
Buster No. ] is on a very promising spur
of the main vein and has several feet oil
very fine quartz. which shows some free
gold and pans well. This point would be
the best place to start permanent de-
velopuent work. 4 tunnel run in on this
spur vein would encounter the main vein
when in n distance of 130 or 40 feet and
at n vertical depth of about $50 feet
which would give large amount of stop
ing ground. The tunnel would he run
in on we'll -minerallzed vein: il would
develop the entire property at the great
est. depth which can be obtained hy tun-
nsling; II could be extended the full
length of the nrorertv when desired: II
would deliver the ore right at the river
level where the min "an he located. II
starts in on orc and will follow the small
er vei1 into the larger one: thus all the
time il will be showing results. and with
the nnimum of work should oDen i'm
rnpsa reserves of milling ore.
THE locations are among the earliest
made in the district; therefore the title
- the ground Is clear as against any ~
the latter overlapping claims Tho
