Bouse in the low breaks of the Plu mOsa range. MT. BOuse was the first settler in the section which now bears his name and besides his home, he has secured the best mining properties To- cated in the immediate vicinity. To the writer he said: "McMahon and myself had two years to make our se- lection and we are satisfied with the results" Indeed, they should be, when today they are the only ones in an immense belt of locations surrounding them that are delivering the goods in the form of shipping high grade ore from their two groups, the Flying Dutchman and Little Butte. The "Dutchman" comprises five claims and is developed by several shallow open ings and two working shafts which are now down forty and fifty feet respect lively. In the fOrty-foot shaft sinking is now progressing on a body of two feet of ore that samples 13 per cent copper and better than S7 gold per ton, with a small amount of silver The vein structure of this property is lime and iron through which quartz appears in parallel veins; the general forma- tiOn being andesite. On this property no less than six openings covering space of over 400 feet in length proves the existence at least of four parallel quartz dikes within a width of 12O feet. How much farther to the east. if any, the vein extends, is yet to be deter mined. At the surface and for the first few feet in a majority of these veins the ore is red oxide carrying much free
  canic mud. With a depth of ten feet or less, the ore changes to quartz and at the depth of the present workings carries values as stated above. To the east about one-half mile from the above mentioned working, a second vein system is located. A large lime carbonate dike shows two strong cop per veins in close association, the eX- act width being hard to determine ow- ing to erosion. An opening bade on this vein is all iE copper. which looks good, but more depth will have to be gained before its merits can be estab lished.
 The Little Butte group is located a mile and a half north of the Dutch man and is the most northern point of the PlumOsa range. In the fifty-foot shaft a body of high grade ore four feet thick is now being mined which rune 15 per cent copper and s1O in gold per ton. ore is now being shipped from both properties and as to quality there is none finer along the line.
 GOLDEN SLIPPER.
 The Golden Slipper group, cOmpris- ing twenty claims, is located about two miles south of the "Dutchman." Copper and gold ore shows on the ma jor portion of these claims and there are many places on the same that in vite development The property be- longs to John R Parker of Bouse and is for sale
 COPPER GLANCE.
 A group of three claims recently To- cated by St F. owen and St. E. Enos of BOuse. The property lies six miles south of Bouse. A ten inch streak of orc developed in the vein assays 20 per cent copper. $40 gold and 10 ounces in silver to the ton.
 There are many other properties tributary to Bouse that are worthy of mention, but for lack of information pertaining to them. they will have to be passed up at this time.
 While there is not much activity at Bouse at the present time, its residents are looking forward to a prosperous fall and winter.
