The Burke Hotel Steadily Taking Shape--The Status of Legislation Over Merri- mac Group of Claims. Shipments of Ore.

Bouse. Arizona, Feb. 25.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican)- The Arizona-Bouse Copper company is now making nice showing on their Little Butte mine, four miles west of Bouse. The superintendent's house and office have been com pleted and the boarding and bunk houses are well under way and will be completed in a short time The new hoist is on the ground and in- stalled and the shaft is being sunk rapidly. During the past week this company has made a large sale of stock and now has plenty of money with which to develop the property. It has made arrangements with the Southwestern Realty company of Phoenix to handle a large block of its stock in Phoenix and Washington and Oregon. It is understood the stock has taken another advance, which is good indication of the progress of the property. Ore in the bottom of the shaft is showing up well. During the past few days sev- eral experienced mining men who have been in the country have visit ed the property and have pronounced it in fine shape, with every prospect of development into a good property.

Rouse coming to the front so fast" said MT. Osborne Tt is certainly an ideal place for a city and I hope l it will be one in short time. I ex- pect to get over here often now. The road is fine and our new car made | the trip in fine shape. Our proper ties are all looking we'll We are only working fourteen men at the mines now, but the new developments are looking well. We have to haul our ore twelve miles to Parker to the railroad, and it is expensive, and then we have no loading platform there. We do not expect to make any heavy shipments until the rail- road is built up past our property to the Clara at Swansea and to the Planet I hope this road will be built soon and just as soon as it is done, we can begin making heavy shipments. But what we want is a smelter right here in this valley, anS think one will be built here soon, at least, l hope so."
 Work Progressing on Burke Hotel.
 w. c. Cain, who will have charge of the building of the new Burke hotel, has arrived in Bouse and has started in to make things hum.- He has been in Los Angeles several days making all the purchases of the ma terial for the new hotel, and has had three carloads shipped. ' The first car arrived on Wednesday and con sisted of a lot of bathtubs, iron pipe. well pipe, engine, bar fixtures and other furnishings for the hotel. The adobes for the building have been mostly made and will soon be ready to be laid in the wall. The founda- tions for the hotel will be put in this week The carpenters are now busy framing the timbers for the building.
 Merrimac Group in Litigation.
 The Merrimac group of claims, which are located north of the Bill Williams Fork, about four miles, and (which claims give promise of being one of the big gold producers of the country, are now involved in litiga- ton. This group of claims was bond ed a short time ago to the Michigan Iron company for S20,OOO by the owners and locators, who are J. E. Rodgers, T. F. Johnson, T. J. Rodgers, James Walters, Louis Walters and Al
 
 named Derudio, who claims to own the mines on account of prior loca- tion. This matter came about by the fact that this property was formerly located and held by other parties, who allowed the claims to revert back to the government on the 31st of last December, and the Rodgers and asso- ciates located the claims the next day They knew the claims would run out at midnight of December 31, and accordingly they located the claims at 12:0S am, Jan. l, and Talbot located the claims at 12:10 a. m., ac- cording to his location notices, and when the next day he found that the others had located at 12:OS, he changed his location notices to read

erty this week, and stated that he was very well pleased with the showings already made In fact, he was so well pleased that he took a large block of stock for himself and agreed to handle the stock in Phoe- nix. He stated that Phoenix people are very well pleased with the prop erty and have invested heavily in stock. MT. King also looked over Bouse and the rapid improvements being made, and stated that he re- garded Bouse as one of the coming towns of western Arizona. T like the looks of Bouse," said MT. King, and believe you are going to have a very good town here. like the prospects of the surrounding country and also the location of the town. I like also the large amount of busi ness going on. It looks good, and am very glad to see it."
 Clara Consolidated Rushing.
 The Clara Consolidated is making time now Everything is rushing and the prospects are brighter than ever before. At the present time the great difficulty is getting teams in to handle the large amount of freight which is to be taken to the property at Swansea from Bouse. Six, eight and ten horse teams are now in the service, but they can hardly make an impression on the large amount of freight awaiting at the depot to be transported to Swansea. Wednes- day, a carload of mules were re- ceived at Bouse by Graham Brothers Nuill ha into tho fraipht service.
 The new engine which is 10 be used to run the electric generators which will furnish the electric lights for the mines and town of Swansea has arrived and will soon be installed. The pipe for the waterworks is be- ing hauled to the pipe line site. The well from which the water is being taken is all completed. The engine for the machine and carpenter shop has also arrived and has been taken to the works. The boarding house at Swansea has been doubled in size in order to accommodate the new men who are being put to work. A new mess house will be built for the accommodation of the officers of the 
 Shelter Going Up.
 The basement work and retaining walls have been completed and the carpenter work, on the new shelter, is now going on. A large force of carpenters are. working. T. R. Rolfs, chief carpenter, has arrived on the ground and has taken charge of the carpenter work.
 Osborne Party in Bouse.
 E. s. Osborne, of the Osborne prop critics, which are located twenty miles north of Bouse, was in town Wednes- day with an automobile party, con- sisting of Ed Osborne and wife, Mrs. Drake of Los Angeles, Harry Os- borne of Osborne Wells. and MT. Kinloe of Los Angeles. Mir. Osborne lives in Parker, but came over to Bouse in his new Elmore touring car to take look at the new town of Bouse. T am very glad to see

resentative of the Los Angeles Chil- dren's home. has been in Bisbee and Douglas for the past two weeks, ,and during that time has placed a nyfnber of children in different homes. /He has taken charge of four children in Bis bee and placed them in homes in Douglas and Benson. He will remain in the city for some days more on business connected with his society.
 Since the formation of the associ- ated charities in Bisbee, the need of a poor farm has been keenly felt, and a committee of business men was ap- pointed at the last meeting to ascer- tain what steps were necessary in or der to have the county provide such a place. Members of the board state that they frequently find cases of des- titution in which temporary relief is of no avail because there is no prospect of the persons ever being able to suit ably provide for themselves. Cochise county is probably the largest county in the United States not owning a poor farm, and the need in this county Is probably greater than in any other of its size It is likely that the matter will be pushed vigorously and the de- sired farm obtained.
 Worlxmen under the direction of Street Superintendent Mccullough are busy constructing a roadway over CIawson Hill. The road will connect with Clawson avenue near Fire Chief Henkels home and pass Castle Rock between the residences of Editor Hove and J L. Silyerthorn, advertising man. ager of the Fair store.
 The city council will bold a meeting tonight, at which time the bids will be opened for the necessary pipe and pipefitting with which to install the new municipal water plant This sys- tenn will be fed from a well which is to be sunk near the city limits in upper Tombstone canon. and, while the immediate intention is to provide fire protection, members of the council state that it is to be used as the basis of complete system Persons living up Tombstone canyon may be given the privilege of connecting with the system at a reasonable monthly rental, as there is strong feeling in that section of the city against the present system.
 Another man has been added to the city fire force, and the department is again up to its normal standard. There is hope that the council will see fit to add still another man to this de- partment. Chief Henkel states that it is his intention to resign the position which he has held for over five years, as he finds it impossible to give suf- ficient attention to that department and take care of his business interests.
 The golf game, which was to have been played tomorrow between Bisbee and Fl Paso,. has been called off on ac- count of the inability of the Fl Paso team to reach here in time to play both Bisbee and Douglas. A game will be played at Douglas. and a number of representatives of the local Country club will attend the game at Douglas.

 EXPOSITION Paper On Mining and Mineral
 Resources of Arizona PREPARED BY FRANK COX Written by Request For Reading Before the Amer ican Mining Congress at the Recent Meeting In  Pittsburg, Pa.
PREPARED BY FRANK COX

The following paper on mining and the mineral resources of Arizona was written by Frank Cox of this city al the request of an official of the Amer ican Mining congress, and read at the last meeting of that body held in Pittsburg in December Though the proceedings have not yet been pub lished, The Republican is pleased to have been able to secure an advance copy of the paper:
 duced, not only in Arizona, but in any mining region, there is a personal his tory attached. From the ambitions and hopes of the sturdy prospector, down to the calculations of the largest min ing operator, is the story woven. In and much as we owe to the men who broke the ground, individual mention of them must be here omitted. But, though even the names of the men have been forgotten, we do not forget the fact that it was the brave, the stout-hearted pioneers, that made pos sible such mines as the Detroit and the Arizona, the United Verde and the Copper Queen-mines known all ocer the civilized world-mines without which we could not make our proud boast that, with her yearly output of. something like 253,OOO,OOO pounds of copper, Arizona today leads the United

The Gleeson district, now called
 Courtland. about thirty-five miles from Bisbee, is probably attracting
 more attention than any other Cochise
 district. During the past year
 the Phelps-Dodge people and the Cole-Ryan crowd have become in terested in this section and have taken
 over two large groups of claims. The showing to date is very satisfactory. and the Phelps-Dodge interests evil
 dently are satisfied with it, as is evil
 denced by the fact that they are at
 this time building a railroad to con meet the camp with smelters at Doug las. The geological formation at Court land is quartzite overlaid by lime stone to a thickness of practically 1000 feet. The whole has fairly uniform
 dip to the northeast, and there are many large faults traversing the dis trict. The ore in the district seems to occur most frequently along the lines of fracture between the lime stone and the quartzite.
 Bisbee was the scene of a rather sensational hold-up last evening, when masked men gained entrance to the upper story of the Office saloon and interrupted a poker game and made it's continuance impossible by carrying off the jackpot. At first the players were inclined to take the matter as a joke, but when they saw their money disappearing they regarded it other wise and promptly placed their hands in the air The robbers disappeared I@ af hoo ire hai identity is as yet unknown. The Office saloon is situated close to the post office on Main street, and the boldness of the men in planning and executing such a deed excited no little comment. Officers are working on the case.
 Tintown residents were disturbed in their slumbers last night by an ex- plosion of dynamite. which some per son had used in an evident attempt to blow the whole caboodle into eter- nifty. That no one was seriously in jured is regarded as rather miraculous, as the explosion was very severe. The police have a number of different the- ories and it is probable that some ar rests will follow.
 The anti-saloon element in Bisbee is  rejoicing over the passage of the Pace bill. It is probable that a monster ratification meeting will be held, and some of the more enthusiastic suggest that refreshments consisting largely of buttermilk should be served. This bill has excited a great deal of bitter feel ing between the preachers and the sa loon element in this city and their re- pective followers. The Cochise mem bers of the house have been among the most ardent workers trying to de- feat the passage of the bill, and it is very probable that should they seek reelection the temperance people will even up scores. The local democratic press has constantly urged the passage of the bill, although the Cochise dem ocratic representatives were fighting the measure.

LEADING THE
 TERRITORY Cochise County Stands Head In Copper Production NEW MINING DISTRICTS
A Dynamite Mystery--Poker Game Raided by Robbers. Local Option Legislation
 and Divided Sentiment. Associated Charities'Work

Bisbee, Arfz., Feb. 2O-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican, .)-Co- chise county still continues to lead the territory in the matter of copper pro duction, and there are a number of new districts starting up that give promise of becoming as great factors in the matter of production as the Warren district
 The Providence Copper company in the Paradise district has recently been financed, and machinery has been or dered for the Rabbit ranch, which is now down about fifty feet There is a three-inch vein of sulphide showing in the porphyry wall, while the bot tom of the shaft is in lime. In the Rabbit No. 2, which is now thirty feet deep. there is good showing of ore bearing copper and cilver values.
 The Swisshelm district in Cochise county is also making a good showing, and although the existence of ore has been known in this vicinity for over thirty years, no extensive development work has ever been done. F.. F. Jack lin and A. Buchanan of Tombstone. to- gether with Robert Arnold of Here ford, are planning to at once incor- porate a company and develop their claims in this district, which are To- cated close to the Heffern property, where development work has been in progress for the past two years.
