 ON SHELTER SITE

rived m BOuse yesterday Dy the way of the Needles and the automobile line thence to Parker, taking the train at Parker for Bouse. They report the auto line from Needles to Parker a big improvement on the railroad line via either Prescott or Phoenix. MT. Woods is here to looR after his min ing interests. He and his brother, Frank Woods of Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek, have twenty-seven very good claims in the Plomosa range, about four miles south of BOuse. Sev- en of their claims have been patented and the balance have had nearly all of the assessment work done ready for patent. Their claims are situated in and around the Little Butte and Dutchman groups and some of their claims have excellent showings. Har- " Woods states that he expects his brother, Frank Woods, in BOuse with in a month to look over their property and that in all probability they will start large force of men on develop ment work and shipping ore. It will be remembered that the Woods boys are the principal owners of the Woods Development Co.,, of Victor and Grip pie Creek, Colorado, with principal offices in Colorado Springs. They have been large operators and when they start in to develop their property at Bouse they will probably open up one of the large copper properties of Ari- zOna.
 A. C. Adams of Los Angeles, an old time mine owner and promoter of sev- eral of the large mining camps of the United States, including Cripple Creek, Goldfeld and other camps, arrived in Bouse on Saturday and is looking over has heard much of the Bouse country and has a great desire to take good look into the possibilities of the dis triet. On Sunday he took his first trip into the hills. He visited the Lit tie Butte, Dutchman, Jaekrabbit mines and the Woods properties, also the Blue Slate, Sunshine and Sent After claims, the latter being gold proper ties. After his trip, MT. Adams made careful statement, saying: "This is my first visit into this district and from what l have seen from my first days visit l consider the showings which have been made and the surface indications fully sufficient to justify any man to take hold of some of these properties and going to work. The in dications are surely good and the sul- pnide ore found in the Woods proper ty certainly indicates that there are large bodies of copper ore a little further down. I believe when the water level is reached they will find large bodies of rich sulphide copper ore. l have not had a great deal of experience in copper mines but like the looks of this country. The v::n in the Little Butte is certainly a good one. It is fully ten feet thick on the surface and extends, understand, to the bottom of the shaft, about fifty feet, and gets richer with depth, and I am told that this ledge can be fol lowed for two or three miles. I have not looked at the gold quartz proper ties very much but the quartz is dis integrated quartz and does not seem to be in place, but it looks as though it had the values and ought to make good milling proposition. However, from what l have seen I believe this country will be famous for its copper more than for its gold"
 Wm. Oches of Los Angeles arrivel in Bouse on Sunday and will put in several days this week looking over various mining properties in and around BOuse. He came in to meet MT. Lundsberry and Geo. Kislingber- ", of Los Angeles. who will arrive ;n Bouse Monday.
 The new telephone line from Bouse to the Clara mines at Swansea has been completed and IS now in good working order. It will be a great convenience for the merchants of Bouse as well as the store at Swansea.
 J. C. Denton, Miss Dollie Winters and Mrs. W. H. Winters went to Phoenix on Saturday morning for few days in the capital city.
 Word has been received in Bouse that the new motor truck belonging to the Corona Mining Co.,, about fifteen miles north of Bouse, has been received at Wenden and Geo. Prestler, superin- tendent of the Corona, states that the new truck will be used to haul their ore from the mine to Bouse. They
