name. and who has been for a long period the mining partner and boon companion of Nat C. Goodwin in his ventures at Rawhide and other camps in Nevada has been spending the past week in Bouse He has been exam ming the country and gathering data for comparison of this new camp with those in Nevada that have made that state so well known as a place of rich strikes and sudden fortunes.
 MT. Holman has spent most of his time since he has been in Bouse visit ing the surrounding properties, and is enthusiastic in the expression of his opinion in regard to the present show ing
 ''The formation" he said today. fin my opinion, is ideal for the making of one Of the great copper camps of the country. The lime and diorite con tact. with strong gossan capping. often extending in width to over three hun dred feet, cannot fail. I believe, to de- velop immense bodies or rich sulphide ores at depth. The section may be fairly termed a poor mans camp. as the carbonates are found in numerous places reaching up to the surface, and also carrying good gold values. so that in these places development may be carried on and pay its own way from the start from shipments that are made of these ores extracted near the surface.

 ''I was particularly interested in the Little Butte property. owned by the Arizona Bouse Copper company This company has nine claims, and has a truly wonderful showing of rich val ues from present development. Five cars shipped have shown an average of from 13 to 15 per cent copper and from SS to S10 in gold. and this ore was taken out simply in development work, while several hundred tons of ore are lying on the dump ready to be shipped. This company is entitled to a great deal of credit for the manner and promptness with which they have put this property on a working basis. Within fifty days from the time they took over the property, they have erected buildings. installed hoisting plant and other machinery, and have a dozen or more men at work. with two shifts working in the shaft. which is being rapidly sunk to reach the sul- phide zone, which I think they should reach within one hundred feet or so of further sinking As I have stated. this is an ideal proposition. as the ore that is being constantly taken out of the shaft will go largely to pay for the expense of development
 Another decided advantage that this nv hag ic ha nf hot within half a mile of the railroad. which will be of great benefit to them in the saving of haulage expense and also in the shipping of ore in large quantities. as it is not only the expense of team haulage that holds many mines back, but the unavoidable de- lay in loading and unloading freight wagons. The company states that it is their intention within a short time to have a spur built from the railroad direct to the ore bins, so that ore may be dumped from the mine into the cars
 The company appears to be in the hands of men of mining experience and ability. and they are putting in | every dollar where it will count. I have visited a numbsr of other mines | in this vicinity, but I speak of the Lit l tie Butte property more particularly | as it is at present being most actively | worked, and. at the same time, is typ ical of the other mines in this sec tion.
 Tn fact, the formation here is very l similar to that at Yerington. Nevada, . where upwards of 1.500 men are em-
