 At only one place does the apparent
 main vein come to the surface and
 that is at the Little Butte. There
 the vein sticks out of the surface fully
 ten feet thick and enters the hill sn
 slight dip but at a depth of forty
 feet it turns and indicates that it will
 eventually run perpendicular. la
 many places the stringers are perpea-
 dicular, while others they are on the
 amtieline.
 In a ffty-foot shaft on the Jack
 rabbit claim, one of the Dutehman
 group, the vein widens out with depth,
 with every indication that a great de-
 pOsit will be found even above water
 level. On the Dutehman claim proper there are several shafts, some of which are in iron oxide with rich stringers of free gold. In fact, all of the ore carries rich gold values.
 The Bullion shaft of the Woods properties, to the south of the Dutch
 man, has a shaft down one hundred and twenty-five feet and it struck rich sulpnide ore ta seventy feet. At the l25-fOOt level a crosseut was run east 90 feet and another 40 feet west, cut ting the zone crossways. This cross cut cut stringers and lenses every rod or so, some of them several feet wide, but in between the lenses the entire space is filled with monzanite carrying valuation of two per cent copper. This shaft will strike water in about one hundred and fifty feet more, at which point it is expected to find the main body of ore. The sulphide lenses at the 125-foot level are very rien in copper with good gold values.
 Some time ago John Finch, the geol- ogist, made a careful examination of this district and stated that this was the largest deposit of monzanite ore in Arizona and the mine should prove q very valuable one. At other places in thC 4dISO IhAucIdiAIcu IOuet HnoEc shafts have been sunk any depth, the monzanite shows up. In fact, every prominent geologist and mineralogisE who has ever examined this district and mineralized zone have stated that it has every indication that immense bodies of ore will be discovered. The ore, too, is purely self-fuxing as it carries large quantities of iron and lime and the bullion shows the sul- phides.
 In the core of the district, or what may be called in the crater, that is, the center around which the zone lies, there are two large granite dikes with quartz deposits running into the gran te. This quartz contains good gold values in the form of free gold. What little prospecting has been done in this ;ore mas shown pay ore, but none has sver been worked except the Sunshine .laim, one of the Woods properties. Here shaft has been sunk sixty feet md gold ore taken out, running about ;60 per ton. The vein is faulty, how ,ver. On the Blue State claim, also n the core and near one of the gran te dikes, large bodies of blue slate are 'ound which are filled with flake gold. This blue slate and gold formation is ound alongside of a rich vein of cop ,er and the copper ore carries rich ,old values.
 H. E. Woods, of the Woods brothers, vas in Bouse this week and stated hat Frank Woods of Colorado Springs nd John Finch would be here in a hort time and that they would like o begin development on a large scale. here is also a rumor that they are bout to sell out to parties who want 9 go ahead and develop the property. levers and Bishop, who recently pur- based the Little Butte, state they i'll put on large force of men with p-to-date machinery and go down -ith the ore to water level, with cross uts and drifts to develop the ore ody.
