After a months study of the Bouse field he has lately bought a large interest with J. c. Denton in forty five claims that cover some of the best ground in Bouse camp and is throwing in money to rush develop ment in the rushing Nevada style
 All the above are well known Los Angeles people, but they are not half of the Los Angeles people already interested in this great. new copper field that will soon be within twelve hours of the city. and the active de- velopment of which will call for the establishment of a big smeIting plant somewhere along the southern coast as soon as the railroad is finished
 The Town of Bouse.
 BOuse is twenty-siX miles east of Parker and a broad. semi-arid desert stretches between. That desert is an ancient sea bottom. and in the yes terday of geological time constituted an arm of the Gulf of California.
 The town of Bouse lies on the rail- road near the north end of the great PlumOsa range, and just where the broad PlumOsa wash from the south, fifty miles long, joins the broad But Ter wash from the east, ninety miles long. These washes" drain broad synclinal valleys of the same names After long and heavy rains. which occasionally occur, both carry torren- tial surface streams, but at all times fhaNv on n 1rnHarc.nrrra1 ,r large vOlume-an inexhaustible sup ply-a little below the surface.
 Bouse. still a small place, contains quite unusually respectable and comfortable hotel for a new camp. It possesses also two mercantile com panies that have erected substantial and cOmmodious buildings of their own and carry large stocks to sup ply the outlying camps for fifty miles around. There are few substan- tial residences and the usual array of saloons. cOrrals, livery stables and blacksmith shops. It is not a big place yet, but it is permanent, and it is bound to grow as the mines are developed.
 Early History.
 The water so abundant and so close to the surface made Bouse the Mecca of the great north Yuma county desert region in the early days of Arizona's history GS57 to 1S6O when all mails and supplies for the territory came around to the gulf from San Francisco by steamer. thence up the Colorado river by boat to old La Paz or Ehrenburg and thence by a government camel train Ca forgotten episode of western his tory) to Prescott, the capital, and the various flourishing dry placer and lode camps lying between the Colorado river and the Bradshaw mountains, 12O miles to the eastward. The miners and the freighters and the government officers hurrying across the hot desert in those days all saw Bouse's Well and drank it's waters and filled their vessels at it's curb while the weary camels sprawled about.
 There was a little placering near by. but it was all dry washing" and two small. old arastras near the wells attest some early efforts to work the gold lodes The region is all mineralized, but just around Bouse copper is the principal metal copper carrying gold. and often run ming quite high in gold, not com

GREAT PARKER COUNTRY
It Would Make Arizona a Rich Mining State If She Hadn't Mine Outside Its Limts-A Vast Wealth
 of Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Iron.

questiOnably a region very rich in iron. gold, silver, lead, cinnibar and copper There are mountains of iron, a very pure specular hematite run ming above SO per cent, and the cop per deposits appear to be vast. It is the greatest new field in the United States for prospectors.
 But it is a hot thirsty country in summer and very dangerous to fools disposed to take long chances on the water supply. Let all such remember that I say distinctly, it's a dangerous country for fools. There is always plenty of water within striking dis tance if you know where to find it- that's the first thing to learn every time you break camp in the desert.
 Most people tbink of a desert as a great, sandy. verdureless, windswept plain. But all this great mineral en- pire called the Parker country" on both sides of the river, is extremely mOuntainOus-the mountains are high and rugged and perfectly baldwin desert plains of only limited extent between. Indeed, for the most part, they are not (geolOgically speaking) plains at all, except to the casual glance, but synclinal valleys filled with wash from the mountains and containing water in great quantity at some indefinite depth-ten feet to 5OO-below the reach of evaporation.
 Geographical Position.
 Parker is the point on the Colo rado where the railroad crosses to California. The great bridge is near

ing completion. It is about 100 miles north of Yuma. where the Southern Pacific crosses the river, and about seventy miles south of the Needles. road, but it belongs to the Santa Fe crosses. The name of the new line is the Arizona and California rail- road. but it belongs to the Stnta Fe system-which fact assures it all ter minal advantages on the coast. Par ker (both sides of the river) is on the Indian reservation, consequently no town is possible there until the government takes the matter in hand. When the line is finished westward to its connection with the main stem. passengers from Los Angeles can take the train in the evening and be in Bouse in the morning. That will make it the handiest of all big min ing camps to Los Angeles and the easiest to do business in.
 Los Angeles Has Call.

 Its Mneralogy
 It is primarily a copper camp and the evidences of copper mineralization over the whole field are numerous and at several widely separated points very strong. but it was originally prospect ed as a gold camp. and at the surface the gold values in many cases pre- dominate. the copper having Ieached But in all cases the ore runs high in gold. while in a few, free gold, visible to the eye, is the only value contained at the surface. The gold has in some cases exceeded $1OO the ton. but the average will probably not exceed ten or twelve dollars. The surface rock being limestone. the copper. of course,
 is in the carbonate condition mainly, and the average tenor of the ore is high. Any competent judge of copper ground would pronounce the indica- tions for large ore bodies at reason able depth very strong throughout the camp They are immensely strong at some points.
 There is a great development of specular iron (black hematite) all over the camp. Massive bodies of it have developed in all the fault and shrink age planes and contOrted punches of it occur in the limestones by replace ment There is some evidence, but as yet rather incomplete. that the same solution that brought this iron to the surface brought also the copper with it. The camp is rich in copper; it is also enormously rich in this specular hematite. Theoretically both are de- rived from their yellow sulphides at depth reduced to an aqueous solution. Both these yellow sulphides common ly occur together and in nearly all secondary copper deposits the evidence is clear that both metals were deposit ed from the same solution In this field both metals were unquestiOnably brought from the depths in solution but whether in the same solution or not, is the problem.
 I think the geology of the camp is probably extremely simple fundament- ally, but, as usual, faulting and erosion have masked and confused it just around the mines. I do not doubt. however, that it can be very readily studied out on the Hanks of the Plu- mosa range just south of the camp and I shall present the geological study in my next paper. For the present will only remark that the surface rock is limestone This is intruded and pene- trated by stocks. dikes and intercal- lated beds of different eruptives which

Solomon, or whoever it was, that said there's time for all things, would not have suggested midsum- mer as the time to make a geological study of one of these desert ranges in the great Parker country. But shall presently give the Times pa per on the geology and mineralogy of this great, young BOuse camp, and later of the surrounding camps and of the ranges on the California side of the river, all of which are part of the great. new Parker country" the biggest and richest mineral field in the United States still remaining un- prOSpected.

 The camp is still in the prospect stage and the developments are yet too superficial tn enable the mining geolOgist to determine which erup tive most influenced the mineraliza- tion of the field. I am myself most anxious to make the geological and mineralogical study of the field be- cause I fancy the Plumosa range will prove to be a geological type of the ranges of the region. but mine geologist is bound to think twice be- fore he launches upon a scheme of field study on the bald Hanks of one of these desert ranges in midsummer

Common Law Gave the Right

IN 1906 however. "Courtship. Love, and Mat
rimony,' curious old book, was printed,
and in it is this, which shows that the tradition
was then an old one:
Albeit it is now become part of the COM
mon laace :. that as often as every bissextie
[leap] year doth return, the ladies have the
sole privilege of making love unto the
men, which they doe either by aUords or LookcS.
as to them it seemeth proper; and, moreover.
no man will be entitled to the benefit of clergy
who dothe in any wise treate her proposal with
Slight Contume1y."
This at least seems to show that more than
three hundred years ago the tradition that
women might propose in leap year By
words" if they chose was firmly enough
established to be called common lave
Making love by 'lookes," of course, goes much
further k,-away back doubtless beyond
the days of Saint Patrck-and is undoubt
eddy as old as the practice of spanking naughty
children.
When making love either by words or by
looks was granted to women as special leap
year privilege, however, and who among
women made the first out and out leap year
proposal, are questions the answers to which
are shrouded in the mystery of unwritten his
tory; unless, indeed, Saint Patrick, after all,
did grant the privilege, and Saint Bridget
started the practice.

More Than He Wanted,

not, and then occasionally something

thanked me effusively.
Thank you very much she said;
very acceptable, assure you This
speech attracted the attention of al
around, and really l think l woult
prefer not to be thanked at all rather
than to be thanked SO generously.
IF it would be polite for me to in
dicate just how I'd like to be thanked
for giving up my seat l should say
that just little smile with sligh,
inclination of the head, would be the
acknowledgment that would please me
best of all"
