ROUSE DISTRICT IS ONE
 OF LIvEST IN ARIZONA
tFrsm Rrhaax.s pan0O

One of the liveliest sections of Ari- zona at the present time is the country reached by the line of the new Parker cutoff. and the liveliest town along its line is Bouse.
 Bouse is doubling its population ev- cry four months and new houses of substantial character are going up rap idly in every direction.
 Ten years ago Thomas Bouse, who was in the cattle business, rode through this country long before a railroad had been contemplated. He was looking for water. and from the indications there decided that water could be reached by sinking well at this point. At 30 feet he struck a good supply of water. brought his family and decided to settle down and grow up with the country. He secured a considerable amount of watered land, and at the same time located a large number of mining claims in the district, which gave evidence of being rich in copper and gold. For nine years he waited on the railroad which was long promised, but seemed slow in coming, but finally the eut-off was brought through, and gave him connection with the outside world.
 Mining men had frequently passed through this country and expressed their opinion that whenever railroad was built that it would become one of the greatest mining camps of the ter ritory. The claims owned by Bouse and his associates showed strong evi- denee of copper values. A well defined lead through the country for a distance of two miles is a contact of lime and diorite, while on the surface the width is shown by eapping of leaehed iron or gossan varying in width from 15O to 300 feet

BIG STICK MINING
 COMPANY HAS NEW MILL
From Fridays DaiIy)

The Lleyellyn Iron Works company of Los Angeles has shipped a 35-horse power steam hoist and the Fairbanks Morse company two eompressors and four drills to the Big Stick Gold Min ing company mine in YavaRai county, Arizona, twenty miles from Date Creek, on the Santa Fs, Prescott 6 Phoenix railroad.
 The operationo the company $ twen- ty-stamp mill began Monday.
 The mill has 100000 tons of $ll ore blocked out and has just cut an ore body in a south drift from shaft No. 3 that is said to average $42 ton.
 Two shafts are being sunk and drift ing is being done in both. The south drift is a third shaft at the 2OO-foot level and is 52O feet long. There is said to be ore in all the workings. The mine is in the same district as the Con- gress and Octave mines, which are large producers. The Big Stick has the same formation as those mines and its veins are said to be better defined.
 Shaft No. 9 has run into sulphides at water level, which is regarded as a sure indication of permanent and in ereasing values.

NOW READY FOR THE
 PRODUCTION PERIOD
From wednesday's Dailyl

(From w e0neS0aE DallN'
 With an expenditure of Sl75,O00 in development and equipment since pnr- chased in February, 1908, the proper ties of the Big Stick Gold Mining com pany. in the Santa Maria district, are now on the eve of their initial pro ductive period. The twenty-stamp mill and cyanide plant is finished and the new air compressor is in place. Gen eral Manager T. E. Campbell, who re- turned from the camp yesterday, ex- poets to have the mill running in ten days, when the new steam hoisting plant will be erected at No. 3 shaft, and the gasoline hoist now at No. 3 shaft moved and installed at shaft No. g.
 The new steam hoist will be deliv- cred at the shaft today. Its erection will be pushed as rapidly as possible, as well as the moving of the gasoline hoist to shaft No. 9, The tramWay from shaft No. to the mill, 2,620 feet in length, is finished and ready for op- eration. Two oil tanks of 50,000 gal Ions capacity each are in place and connected with the power plant, which includes a dynamo that furnishes light 10 the mill and camp and power to the electric pumping plant on the river a short distance from the mill.
 Shaft No. 3 is down 232 feet. Sink ing was stopped some months ago on account of the inflow of water being too great for the pumping and hoist ing capacity of the equipment. Sink ing will be resumed in this shaft as soon as the new hoist is in place, as

MINE LOST FIFTEEN YEARS
 IS AGAIN DISCOVERED

After a search of fifteen years by many prospeetors and miners, what is believed will develop into a large cop per mine was discovered last week near the confluence of Sycamore creek and the Verde river. The promising find was made by Fred Hawkins, city mar shal of Jerome, and his associates. The existence of rich float in the vicinity has been known for years. Prospectors, miners, hunters, cowboys and others have searched for the ledge in vain until early last week, when the apex of the vein, believed to be the source of the rich copper rock, was found.
 Marshal Hawkins left a few days ago for Los Angeles to finance a com pany to develop the discovery. He and his associates are confident that the find will develop into a very rich cop per property.
 The rich float was first found by miner fifteen years ago, who lost his way coming through the Mogollon mountains from Williams to Jerome. He reported the finding of the rich rock to a companion in Jerome, to whom he showed the small pieces he carried. His companion outftted with two burros and left foE the place de scribed by his friend. Camping near the mouth of Sycamore creek the first night. one of his burros was killed and eaten by a bear. He prospected the next day and succeeded in finding some of the rich float As a precautionary measure aginst the loss of his remain ing burro. he caught the animal in the evening and bitched it to a tree at his camp. During the night a mountain lion came into the camp and killed the faithful animal in sight of its owner. At daybresk the prospector, fearing that the wild beasts would feast on himself the following night, left the place, hurrying back to Jerome. He returned with another burro for his bedding a few days later, but did not camp there that night.
 The bones of the burros killed by the bear and lion have been a guide to prospectors and others seeking for the rich vein since Marshal Hawkins, among others, was attracted to the place in search of the ledge. He grub staked prospeetors and sent them in search of it various times without re- suit. His efforts were rewarded last week in the discovery of what is gem erally believed to be the source of the rich float. the finding of which caused the death of the two burros and the frightening of their owner so badly that he abandoned his search.

GLADsToNE-M'CABE
 SHOWING IS PRousINe
sRFen Thursdays DaiIy)

 Recent operations in the Gladstone mine indicate that the ore bodies af the Gladstone McCabe vein win bS proven one continuous ore shoot wiEh deeper development. There is now six feet of ore in the face of the west drift on the 1,l00-foot level, all of which Ss being concentrated in the mill, yielding high-grade product. The showing is equally as promising in the east drift. A fair-sized paystreak was also struck in the east drift of the 1,O0O-foot level near the MeCabe ground a few days ago.
 Since the station was cut at the l,lOO-foot level remarkable progress has been made in pushing the west drift. A record of ten feet a day was made for two weeks, the drilling being done with machines. The east drift Is in 150 feet. This record was made pos sible from the fact that the entire face of the drift is in ore, all of which vin pay to concentrate in the AeCabe mill, which is running steadily.
 Monthly shipments now aggregate zoo tons with a carload of high grade concentrates every week. The ore and concentrates is shipped to the Fl Paso smelters.
 Seventy-ive miners are employed ia the mine in the 500, 900, 1000 and ,lO0-foot tunnels. A. C. Massey, George Hammer and W. D. Shaw, les sees of the property, are confident that the mine, with deeper development, will become one of the largest milling and concentrating propositions in tke Big Bug district
 Arrangements will be made with the Arizona Power company for electric power for the mine and mill as soon as the Big Bug district branch of the transmission line is built from Huroa. The stringing of the wires on this branch has been commenced. The pow CT company intends to furnish power to the many operators and companies sf the district at great reduction under the present cost of steam and gasoline powers.
 The lessees also have control of the MeCabe mine, which joins the Glad stone on the east. They are not oper- sting the MeCabe. The McCabe shaft is 900 feet deep. The buckets will have to be replaced by skips or cages and the shaft repaired at considerable expense, before sinking will be re- sumed.
 The Gladstone MeCabe mines have a record of gold and silver production exceeding s2,5oO,OOO. The main vein is opened from the two shafts at dis tanee of 4,5O0 feet. They are the sec ond largest producers in the county, be- ing exeelled in production only by the United Verde Copper eompany's mines lt Jerome.

Development work on the properties
 of the Tombstone Consolidated Mining
 company during the past week has
 been more than satisfactory and con
 siderable headway was made in the
 projected plans. A large new compres-
 sor, which has been ordered, is ex-
 pected to arrive shortly and will be in
 stalled at the pump shaft to furnish power for the drills now being used and that are to be installed on the lO00-foot level. The work of prepar-
 ing for the installation of the oil burners at the West Side is about com pleted. The work at the Tribute, West Side, Northwest and Silver Thread has resulted in additional ore bodies being opened up, while considerable ore has been shipped and concentrated.
 Fred C. Eckert and Frank Fake of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and c. l.. Wright of Webb City, Missouri, arrived this week to attend the annual stocRsold ers' and directors meetings of the Arizona Mines & Milling Co.,, which are to be held this week. Other stock holders from the east are also expect cd. This company owns a number of claims in the South Pass district, as well as the Gringo property at Pata- gonia. General Manager Wyatt will be able to present most satisfactory report of the operations during the past year to the stockholders and di- reetors of the company.
 Nelson II. Brown and A. C. Manner, prominent Philadelphia capitalists, ar rived Sunday on their way to Johnson, where they are interested in number of mining enterprises. These gentle men are the heaviest stockholders in the Arizona United Mines company, which owns a group of fifteen claims in the Johnson district. They are here for the purpose of starting exten- sive development work on the proper ty in a short time.
 Representatives of the- Calumet and Arizona Mining company were in Tombstone a few days ago and as a consequence a well known Tombstoner is $lO0O0 better off. P. B. Warnegros received the second payment on the Poorman mine. on which the company has an option in the Courtland district. The bond on the property calls for $5O. 900, of which, to date, Sl5,0o0 has been paid.
 There has been filed in the record CTS office deed from John r. White, as sheriff of Cochise county, to \. l.. Amster. a deed which conveys 10 the latter the Copper Belle group of mines in the Gleeson district.

FUGITIVE RANGERS SUCCEED
 IN CROSSING MEXICAN BORDER
Ozsn rhur.dar.r paflr,


 Determined to effect the capture of Reuben Neil and Herbert Woods, ae- cused of the murder of Detective Schwartz at Williams last September, Sheriff John Francis of Coconino eoun- ty passed through here last night on his way oPhoenix, where he will ask Governor Sloan to offer a suitable re- ward for their apprehension.
 Sheriff Francis received telegram from Meridian Tuesday night stating that Neil and Woods had been seen crossing the Gila river near its eonfu- enee with Salt river Monday at noon. The fugitives were riding in the diree- tion of the Quijutoa mountains. Sher- iff Francis believes they crossed line into Mexico last night. He is confident of their capture in the sister republic in the event that Governor Sloan will offer a reward.
 Deputy Sheriff T. E. Pulliam of Co., conino county was in Nogales last night. It is believed that, Neil and Woods will cross the international line many miles from that city. Officers of Pima county and along the border are searching for the fugitives, who were formerly territorial rangers. They are known to be experts with the rife and six shooter and are expected to re- sist arrest.
 In case they are apprehended in Sheriff Francis will be ready to institute extradition proceedings for their immediate return to Coconino county, where they will be held to an- swer for the alleged murder of Schwartz.
 Since the discovery of the body of Schwartz last week Sheriff Francis has secured additional evidence that Neil and Woods are guilty of the atrocious crime. A letter has been found ad dressed to Schwartz warning him to leave the country at once and in case of his refusal stating that his body | would be found hanging to telegraph ! pole. The letter was signed Ginger" It was written shortly after the disap- | oearanee from Williams of another de | -ective associated with the murdered l nan, after being threatened with death | oy Neil and Woods.
 Involved in Scandal
 Schwartz and his associate were col ecting evidence which threatened to involve the fleeing ex-rangers in a seau- lal. It is believed that this prompted he men to commit the foul deed
 Neil and Woods left Williams the | nornig of May at l o'clock. It is believed they escaped through the Mo ,ollon mountains and crossed the Verde alley before daybreak. By riding at i light they managed to pass through his and Marieopa counties undeteeted. They were not seen until their arrival 1t the confluence of the Salt and Gila ivers at noon Monday.
 Sheriff Francis is among the most successful sheriffs in the territory in he capture of criminals. He stated ast night that he will leave nothing lndone to bring Neil and Woods before he bar of justice for the murder of considered among the most ltrocious in the criminal annals of northern Arizona.

LACK OF RAILROADS
 RETARDS THE HUMBUG
fFron wednesaar,s pailEl

Embracing in its confines many gold
 properties as promising as any sec
 ton of the southwest, the Humbug
 district is still yielding its golden
 treasures by the crude arastra process,
 much the same as forty years ago, due to it's isolation from railroad commun- ieation and lack of wagon roads con meeting it with industrial centers.
 Many of its claim owners have re- sided in its mountains the last thirty years, content on developing their prospects and recovering the gold by the old Mexican method, awaiting the construction of a wagon road into the district which will induce the invest ment of capital and the building of mills.
 J. D. Young, one of the largest claim owners in this promising section of the Bradshaw mountains, who was here yesterday on business, says tbe miners are doing well developing their claims, all, however, deploring the fact that outside capital cannot be induced to invest in the district on account of it's lack of transportation facilities, which practically doubles the cost of operations compared with more fav- ored sections of the territory.
 The building of wagon road from Harrington through the district to Castle Hot Springs, projected last year, is again being agitated. The mine owners and stoekmen hope that the highway will be constructed this year.
 Speaking of the many properties in the district, Mir. Young said In part; <'There are 5000 tons of ore on the dumps of the Young and Fogarty group. This group comprises ten loea- tions, one of which covers a water right with a water supply sufficient for any size mill desired six months in the year Only the highest grade ores are treated by the owners in arastras- | The deepest shaft is down 142 feet. There is four feet of ore in the bottom | that averages in gold values S90 to the ton. This shaft cannot be sunk | any deeper without installing hoist ing plant on account of the inflow of | water. There has never been hoist ing plant In operation in the district since its discovery, although it has sup ported a prosperous population since pioneer days.
 "Another property of proven merit is owned by the DeGandt estate. There is HOO feet of development done, with large high grade ore bodies blocked out.
 ''The holdings of the Farley ana Kay estates are also worthy of men tion, although idle.
 "M. T. Sullivan is pushing develop ment in a small way on another prop erty that will become noted pro ,ducer under more favorable conditions. George Casey and M. J. Nolan are al so opening their holdings, in which there is also very promising ore show ings.'
 The Humbug district is fifteen miles south of the Crown King terminus of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, and seven miles north of Castle Hot Springs. It is on the southern slope of the rugged and picturesque Brad shaw mountains and can be reached only by rough trails. Its surface ores are rich in gold, but none of its veins has ever been developed into the sul- phide zone on account of the lack of hoisting equipment and market for the product at a reasonable cost of transportation.
