PHOENIX. Jan. 1s-Genial Tom Carrigan, well known in Arizona, who is one of the hail fellows well met in mining circles. landed in the city in company with MT. Cullen of the Salt Lake road and others last night from Los Angeles, and was very enthusias- tic concerning the future of the town of BOuse. Tom may be accused ot being over optimistic but considering the way he has made good with the Clara he has a perfect right to be II he chooses. Every time Tom blows into town the reporters know it and are glad of it, for he is one of those men ''who always is good for story. Things are gradually working around just as he predicted some months ago.
 What about Bouse ?" repeated Tom as he ran his thumbs under his SUI penders. Well, Bouse is the newest and the newsiest of the coming cities of Arizona and the southwest It is located S0 miles west of Wickenburg on the Arizona & California, and 2S miles east of Parker. The townsite is all laid out in lots 25x125 feet and 10xl25 feet Half of the townsite is on the north side of the railroad and half on the south side. Lots were first put up for sale January and up to January 9 over one hundred had been sold. without advertising.
 Hotel for eouse.
 Inquiries have been received by the townsite company for the sale or some two hundred more. Dennis Burke of Prescott, formerly owner of the Burke hotel, has bought four lots and will build q fine hotel, strictly modern in every respect. It will cost upwards of S25,000. During the time the hotel is being built Mir. Burke will erect some thirty or forty tent houses to accommodate visitors 10 Bouse.-
 Arrangements have also been made with some banking people for the es- tablishment of a new bank in the town which will be a great conven- fence for the people. T.

 Welt Laid Out
 The town has been laid out with streets 80 feet wide in the business part and residence streets 60 feet. We are looking toward the future and making provision. The toWnsste com pany will shortly build a nice office and be ready for business. Bouse al present has two general stores, three saloons, two barber shops. two restau- rants and a fair hotel. Without doubt 1t will within a few months be a real live hustling western city. The Clara is seventeen miles from Rouse, and the railroad to the Clara will run from Bouse to the mines and tho new town of Swansea.
 Tn addition to the Clara, there are many fine prospects in the mountains to the north and the south which will be developed into rich mines There. Pm talking about mines again. The Bcuse valley, in which the town Is situated comprises something over 100000 acres of very fertile land. It is believed that an underground flow might be utilized for Irrigation purposes. personally think Bouse is a good place for young man to start in and that the entire country offers many advantages. The day come when people will realize that this section Is the greatest mineral belt in the west"
