Bouse, Arizona, Feb. 25. (Special Correspondence of The Republican) The Arizona-Bouse Copper company is now making a . 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 a good indication of the progress of the property. Ore hi 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. Kin8 Vlt the -Little Butte. H. B. King, of Phoenix, who is manager of the Southwestern Realty company, of Phoenix, visited the prop 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. Mr. 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. "I like the looks of Bouse," said Mr. King, "and I believe you. are going to have a very good town here. I 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 I 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 which will be put into the freight service. The new engine which is to 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 engino 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 company. Smelter Going Up. The basement work and retaining walls have been completed and the carpenter work, on the new smelter, 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 erties, 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 Mr. Kinloe of Los Angeles. Mr. Osborne lives In Parker, but came1 over to Bouse In his new Elmore touring car to take a look at the new town of Bouse. "I am very glad to see Bouse coming to the front so fast," said Mr. Osborne. . "It is certainly an Ideal place for a city and I hope It will be one in a short time. I ex pect to get over here often now. The road is fine aud our new car made the trip in fine shape. Our proper ties are all looking well. 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 ntake any heavy shipments until the rail road is built up past our property to the Clara at Swansea and to tBe 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, an I think one will be built here soon, at least, I hope so." Work Progressing on Burke Hotel. W. C. Cuin, 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. x 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 curpenters are now busy framing the timbers for the building. Merrimac Group in Litigation. The Merrimac group of claims, which are located north of the BUI Williams Fork, nbout four miles, an which claims give promise of being one of the big gold producers of the country, are now involved in litiga tion. This group of claims was bund ed a short time ago to the Michigan Iron company for $20,000 by the owners and locators, who are J. E. Rodgers, T. F. Johnson, T. J. Rodgers, James Watters, Louis Watters and Al Talbot. The suit is brought by a man 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 12:08 a.m., Jan. 1, 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 12:08, he changed his location notices to read -- - " ' ' - m. . - -- m . - - J m.

The play Is from the pen of Anthony E. Wills and it Is to his credit that he resisted the temptation to make a red fire drama that seemed particularly suited for such purposes. Instead he has given us a real military drama with a cowboy hero. A play that observes all the dramatic unities, has the virtues of great possibilities, probability, and playability in the combination with dramatic itensity and thrilling interest from rise of the curtain to the last climax. Instead of red fire there is real life; in stead of threats and murder and the it x y "?4'a ' Miss Lorraine Keene in "The Lieu tenant and the Cowboy." torture of the innocent, there is a villain and a hero who are neither impossible or smirched beyond cleans ing and a heroine who shields the man she loves from the results of a crime she knew shim innocent, and then there is an abundance of scen ery which is properly correct and one can almost whiff the sage brush and alkali and all this helps to make It really worth while and without doubt one of the greatest military plays of recent years. "The Lieutenant and The Cowboy" must be seen to be appreciated. The Misses Benedict have for sale a fine display of painted china at Boehmer's drugstore. Lessons will be given at their studio, 2108 West Mon roe St. THE GOSPEL FEAST DR. DIXON'S SUBJECT The Elks' Theater Was Again Crowd ed Last Night. Dr. Dixon spoke to another good au dience at the Baptist church yester day afternoon on "The Call of the First Disciples: How Jesus Won' Them and How They Won Each Other." The first preaching of the gospel was by a fourfold method: By public proclamation, by private an nouncement, by personal approach, and by the direct contact of Christ with the individual. The address was an earnest exhortation to personal work and open-air proclamation of the gospel. Dr. Dixon will probably speak on the plaza on Sunday after noon at 2 o'clock, thus giving an opportunity to a great many who could not hear him at any other' time. The evening subject at the Elks' theater was "The Gospel Feast." The text was, Luke xiv., 17: "Come, for all things are now ready." The lec ture, in part, was as follows: " "We have not to make ready a single dish. All that we need comes to us freely through Jesus Christ. 1 Pardon, cleansing and peace are ready for all. Peace has been already . made, and what we need Is to accept it and enter upon Its enjoyment. Two , years after the war, two confederate ; deserters were discovered on a lone-' ly mountain in North Carolina. They had not heard that the war was over. I Peace had been in existence for two ' years, but these men did not know j it. As soonas they learned of peace, ' they began to enter upon Its enjoy- ment. We have not to keep the peace. The peace keeps us. "The mission of the church Is to make definite God's general invita tion to the feast. The man who made i this supper sent his servants to 'bid I them that were bidden," to Invite ' the invited. The general invitation of "whomsoever will' has gone out to : mankind. It is our mission to seek the invited and make direct and per- : sonal this invitation of God. A gen tleman sat in my congregation one ! afternoon, distressed about his sins, ( anxious for salvation. A young con- vert went to his side, opened the Bible, put her finger upon a promise, and asked him to read it. As he read, the light came, the way of life was clear. He accepted Christ, and rejoiced. That young convert's mis sion was to make the promise defi nite and personal; and her mission is ours. The pastor proclaims the gospel on Sunday. In the nature of the case, the proclamation must be general. Let each member of the church feel that he is commissioned to make it definite and personal to some one. "It is difficult to make an excuse for not becoming a Christian. They began with one consent to make ex cuse." They had no excuse in hand; it had to be made; and after an ex cuse for not doing right is made, it is not worth the making. The ob ject of excuses Is to cover the real reason. These men did not come to feast because they did not wan to coihe. It Is very difficult to reach men who make excuses, and parry you off with politeness. You tell them that it is time for' them to be Christians. They simply refuse to come, and their very gentlemanly bearing puts you at a disadvantage with them. The man who flatly re fuses may be led to flatly accept; while the man who is polite and gen tle and forbearing even in his re fusal. Is apt to continue in that course, which he himself admires, to the very last. "God aceepts with indignation a bad excuse, and passes men by. 'Be ing angry, he said to his servants: 'Go out quickly Into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the halt, ancf the blind.' Pass by these men -who are able to buy land and -oxen and marry wives, and go out for those who are too poor to buy land and oxen, or too low and mean for any body to marry them. Xord we have done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room;'. 'Go now into the highways out beyop the walls where the gypsies camp, 'fend there you 'will find some poor creature' without a roof, curled up under the hedges for a night's repose; tell them, that there is a place at my table even for them. If they are reluctant to come, you must compel them by earnest persua sion. Do not take ai excuse from them, for their need is so great that, after your entreaty, they will yield and come." What God docs we some times feel constrained to do. We must pass by the good, moral man, and seek the outcast. The great question in commerce is as to the refuse. A large silk manufacturer in London made little progress in his business until he invented a machine that utilized the refuse of his fac tory, and since then he has had an annual income of over half a million dollars. I have heard that the Standard Oil company now has an income, o' nearly two millions as the (Continued on page 1) h-h i ! 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1; j i ; 1 1 ,h, , i ; i i t ,a-n. ; 1 1 ; t n n- NIGH OLSON t The Tailor Says the "Unctions" will soon be on.
