(Paoenix Gazette)

The Bouse district has the richest
mineraiized zone have seen in many
years oS travel and investigation, is
the declaration of W. ID. Tremain. a
noted mining expert. who claims Pas4.

company, the Diluvio Gold and Copper
Winning company. The most OF the
last fiVe years he has been in Sinaloa,
but the Diluyio property there has just
been bonded for half a million dollars
de is now at Bouse and was one of
those who boarded the Maricopa Coun
ty Commercial clubs excursion train
at that place yesterday and rode on
to Parker. Mr.. Tremaine was intro
duced to a Gazette reporter by w. B.
Cook OF Tempe. an old friend of the
expert, and in a long interview stated
irrevocably that there is not better
mining country in the world, to his
knowledge, than that Immediately sur.
rounding Bouse.
Mr.. Tremaine has been in Bouse for
some weeks. investigating five groups
of claims, for his company, which is
the Los Angeles representative of va
rious New York capitalists. He has
become so enthusiastic that a few
days ago he purchased half interest
in the Goose Lake. one of the most
promising groups, and now says ne
would not take $4,000 for his bargain
lie is also thinking of settling in
Bouse for good and opening an assay
Office there with his partner, Ed Van
dergraw.
The most interesting part of Mr..
Tremain's story was that today he
was expecting several Los Angeles
associates there to look over the sit.
uation and some New York people be
Tore the end of the week. If they are
suited as well as he is, tney and the
Nevada people will make a first pay
ment of $3.50, 900 on the purchase price
of half a million for five groups OF
claims and at once begin the sinking
of 500 foot prospect shaft. without
any drifting.
-Four of the group are owned by
Tom Bouse, for whom the station was
named, and a. partner named McMa-
han. Several other miners own the
other group. The claims are so Spit
up that two companies may take pos.
session by paying 10000 down. Mr.
Fremain is on the ground and to
make first report and ais enthusiasts
tic description of the properties is the
cause of the prospective visits of the
outside capitalists.
While he is of course deeply inter-
ested in this matter, he considers the
purchase of these groups only a pre-
liminary to the greater development
of that section. He has found that

Il never saw a country so rich on
the surface" remarked Mr.. Tremaine.
Ore carrying fabulous values has
been picked up from the top Of the
ground. OF course there are no large
bodies until depth is attained. As yet
nothing but prospecting work has
been done about here and it all shows
Indications of immense bodies lower

means to a mining man.
Next to the Bouse G McMahan
properties, consider the Mudersbach
property the most promising at this
time. This is called the Excelsior
group.
This camp is now in its infancy,
only prospect work has been done
anywhere. But in a year it will be
one of the best and liveliest camps in
the southwest. The mine owners are
only waiting now for the smelters TO
start up again to ship out their ore.

considering the advisability of erect

done it win mean the immediate up.
