YUMA OPERATIONS
 0N LARGER SCALE
Harcuvar District Will Make Good Progress During the
 New Year of 1909.

YUMA, Jan. That things are to be doing, after the holidays. ih north Yuma county, is fully demon strated by the work that has already been done, and that is now under way
 In the immediate vicinity of Bouse there is great activity. A new town is under way. H. k. Stone, of Doug las, and Arthur Philbrick and E. C.. Norris, of Gold6eld, Nevada, shave come in, and with ample fioaneiai backing are buying. bonding. plotting -.aI preparing for sale a large lot of land in the valley between the Harcu- var and Plomosa mountains.
 The start that is already made Is the building of the company office building. pretty bungalow, and the arrangements for the starting of a brick yard at once. whLh will be made the material for the construction of large hotel building in waich they will also locate a bank, several stores, livery barn, well equipped. will be one of the earliest adjuncts. thus insuring quick and sure means of transportation to the surrounding mines. ADelectric light and power plant is also one of their pet projects that will be rushed through with dis patch. and water works and an ice plant will not be far behind this The water will be gathered from a system of wells, from wiiiiossi it has been demonstrated that an inexhaustible supply can be obtained, and the depth is very shallow, insuring cheapness of that most valued commodity.
 The scheme is one of merit for the mines around that section are great in numbers and their values are growing richer as the holes get into the earth deeper.
 The Clara Consolidated company is working at the Signal camp about twenty-two miles northeast of the pro- posed town, between fifty and sixty men, opening up a large ledge of black sulphide ore that carries a heavy cop per value, and in which the gold alone would make a fair showing for the ex pense. They nave a shaft down 800 feet. and at the bottom of it they are now drifting. and in this drift they have worked ninety-five feet. The smelter for this company is now part ly on the ground. and the rest is be- ing hauled as fast as the men and t'eAAio NeAh ll Nle hills. It is to have a capacity of 300 tons, and is expected to be ready early in the coming year. A telephone line is now under construction from Bouse to the camp. and E. T.. Short, better known to the miners as Doc Short, manager of the Baryton company store, has the contract, and is haul ing poles now. He will not rest until the line is complete. Several Colo rado and Montana outfits have men and teams at work in the Planet sec ton. about twenty-eight miles north of Signal, but of their values we have no knowledge, for they are quietly placing the ore on the dumps, keeping their own counsel and saving wood
 West of Bouse. from two 10 ten miles, there are number of small mines that are being opened as fast as their owners can sink, and they are all sangtne of success, and have the rich ores to show for their faith The. Little Butte and the Little Dutchman both in this section, are shipping ore regularly to tAe Fl Paso smelters. and their owners, Tom Bouse and K. Me NiEan, are 50 well satisfied that they smile and look wise when talking to strangers. They have only a few men at work, but their claims are bonded at good figures, and only await pay day before being made public. 1t is under stood that J. C. Denton has the op- ions on these properties. and he was seen Monday entering the section with some capitalists from California way. Mir Denton has bunch of eight or nine men sinking on the Frances group of claims. and they have put down a shaft loo feet. This group is show ing up better than well in gold and copper. but Is not sIipping at present.
