FIRST LOCATOR OF BOvaRD
Interesting Relation of Conditions in
the Camp at Present-Rush
Continues.

An interesting visitor to Salt Lake
Monday was c. F. Davis, one OF the
men who made the first location in
the Bovard camp, the section now at
tracing so much attention. Mr.. Da-
Wis Is partner of G. Nj. Bovard and
J. J. Sullivan.
Bovard as district was first called
into prominent notice by the find of.
great ledge of rich gold ore right
on the surface, and one look was
enough for Jacob Evans of Utah. who
Immediately secured an interest and
organized a company for its Develop
ment. This ledge is shipping ore on
the surface, but the Spring Gulch
properties of Mr. Davis and associ-
ates Is milling proposition as far
as the present development work has
demonstrated.
Mr.. Davis states that he had ac-
compished considerable prospecting
work on the Spring Gulch group, and
the ore body for width of IA feet
had been subjected to a severe course
of sampling to determine its real
value The IA feet averaged on three
different samplings as follows
$27.75, $3.50 and $24.65 gold per
ton. On leaving the property few
days ago Mr.. Davis took $50 samples
OF the ore TO Rawhide for assay. He
+ states that the sampling was as cold
/ blooded as II was possible to make
it, The general average of the whole
was $3.50 per ton gold. As far as
the surface goes there is a splendid
+ tonnage of this character of ore eX~
posed. The property adjoins the
/ famous Bovard strike. and was 10

IT, How far this influence has al

the estimate OF the Journal OF Com
merce of the total capital issues in
April. the figure arising to s239.726,-
1854, as against s207, 4i7,000 in
April of last year. This includes the
Pennsylvania bond sale, which proved
so powerful stimulating factor on
the demand for new issues. The
April total is larger than for any
previous month this year, and leaves
the four months issues since Janu-
airy | at only $51.SSS.746 less than
in the corresponding four months OF
active financing last year.
The stimulating effect of the Penn
sylvania bond issue is expected TO be
seen in further additions 10 the list
during May sufficient TO bring the
figure fully abreast of last years fig
ure and the opinion is advanced, in
view of this showing, that the total
of new capital authorized during
1908 will not fall short of the So
102,552,000 authorized in 1907. Dis
