One mile north of the Woods proper ty Tom Bouse and Red McMahon have a group of ten claims carrying good values in copper and gold. Consider able surface work has been done and some ore averaging about ss0 a ton has
 been arrastred by the owners. The deepest shaft is about thirty feet and there are numerous open cuts and shallow shafts on the property, all having good showings.
 Southeast of the Bullion group Bruce Linthioum has three claims located on one ledge. showing large blowouts of iron and copper. The deepest shaft is about forty feet. John Bellus and Sam York also have two claims on the same ledge. with similar showIngs and indi- cations. Joining the Bellus and York claims Bouse. McMahon and Setter dahl have a claim showing a number of parallel stringers of high grade cop per ore carrying about two ounces Of gold to the ton, on which they are now taking out ore to ship. All of these claims show a great deal of lime: in fact, lime and iron are to be seen near i ly everywhere throughout the district.
 Eight miles southwest of Bouses.
  number of claims located on an i'm mense iron dyke from so to 100 feet wide Copper stain and other indica- tions of copper are very evident on this property and the Excelsior Copper Min ing Co.'S property, one mile southeast. better known as the Mudersback mine. owned by Gus Mudersbach and other Flagstaff people. This property is now
 
 derful indications and showings. Dur- ing the past few years the owners have done considerable work on the numer- ous iron dikes appearing on the prop erty and have shown up a number of strong lodges and large bodies of cop per ore, generally carrying good ore values. About twenty claims are in this group and wherever the lime and iron occur and work has been done. copper ore has been shown up. Nu- merous people from outside copper camps have tried to secure this prop erty during the past year. but the own CTS have only lately given a short time option and it is generally thought that work will be started on a large scale within the next few months. Join l ing the Mudersbach group on the north | Wilcox and Hall have eight claims ! upon which good copper showings are being opened up.
 Everywhere throughout this district are immense bodies of iron. lime and quartzite. and in nearly every place where work has been done. good copper showings have been found. As the dis trict is new and so very little work has been done there are many who pre- | dict Nthat another great copper camp ! will be opened up now that the trans | portation problem has been solved. An | abundance of water is available throughout the valley near the railroad.
 In the valley running parallel to the railroad a number of homestead entries have been made. The oldest settler is Tommy" BOuse, who has good ranch joining the town of Brayton. A small portion has been cleared, the remaind CT being covered with heavy growth , of mesquite and iron wood, as is near ly the whole valley. MT. BOuse irri- gates a small tract from a well about thirty feel deep and has a few cattle or the range. At the Rouse ranch the writer enjoyed the pleasure of listen ing to a number of selections by Belba, Caruso, Calve de. Rezke and other famous singers. played on large Vic tor talking machine owned by MT. Bouse. Nearly all the selections were encored by the coyotes. lurking in the nearby thickets. making us realize what a wonderful invention the talking machine is to bring the songs and voices of these famous singers out into wilderness until recently several days travel from the railroad causing ones imagination to drift dreamily into the joys of the days that have been. only to be rudely brought back to the desert by the aggravated coyotes. vail ing indignant remonstrance at the in strments of civilization. The coyote and the Dutch oven will have to go, for the cook stove, the steam engine and the Victor talking machine have come to stay. |
 The Brayton Commercial Co. of Sa- Iome and the Morley Mercantile Co operate general mercantile stores at BraytOn. and by the time the winter season is well under way both firms will be we'll stocked with everything necessary for the prospector. mining man and traveier.
 Preparations are being made to start
  properties seven miles west of Salome. This property is under bond to people in the Harqua Hala and has every indication Of turning out well. The ore carries good values in copper and gold.
