Arizona republican., 1909-03-14

He had two sacks of ore that he
 brought down to Vicksburg. the es-
 timated value of which was s5OOO. and
 he had ore samples that all agreed
 would assay $200.G0O per ton There
 can be no doubt of the value of the
 ore shown as it was inspected by
 many who know gold rock when they
 see it. The only doubt that any one can have is respecting the quantity or continuity of the rich deposit and only development work win demon strate that. That a marvelously rich
 pocket has been found is certain.
 This rich ore was seen at Vicks-
 burg by the Phoenix gentlemen who
 were going out to Bouse a couple of days ago They decided to con
 tinue their journey and if desirable go to the new strike later. but when they got back to Vicksburg there was such a rush to the new strike that they figured they could no longer secure a claim close up to the strike anyhow and had better delay their visit. One of these gentlemen was l.. B. Roland of Chicago. who has been stopping at the Hotel Adams this winter. He verified all that MT Meyers and the other gentlemen said and remarked that it was one time in his life that he missed it and he was sorry he did not go to the new strike on the way out However, he went which was also good for sore eyes. or well ones either.
 There were about twenty-five Phoenix people went out to Bouse and Parker the day the ore was brought to Vicksburg. | T. Hosey and Louis Melczer were among them and they stayed to go to the new strike after looking over Bouse. 9th CTS who verify the stories are J. B. Girand, n well known mining engin- eer. C. B. Holman. tho discoverer of the famous Rawhide mine in Nevada and George W. Bishop, secretary and treasurer of the Arizona Bouse com pany. and NJ. O. Johnson, a traveller in the interest, of the Standard Oil Co. who heard of the rich strike and who has knowledge of the rush from Bouse to it Mir. Bishop has been at the Little Butte mine for the last ten days and will return coming to Phoenix on hvsiness that will keep him a few days.
 Incidentally the gentlemen brought back the finest possible reports from the Little Butte. MT. Roland said it was all that has been represented and even more. He said that when he goes east shortly he expects to be armed with an exclusive agency for placing the stock in the east. He is mi hfff hag deal of faith in his own eyesight and what he saw made him .eager for action. --f
 Mir. Johnson. above referred to. is representing the Standard oil in the sale of lubricating oils and other pro- ducts disposed of to mining compa- nies in large quantities. In that ca pacity he has visited all the big camps in the west He said last night that he was not a speculator nor mine promoter but he was ia miliar with mines and he believed the Little Butte was the only poor mans copper mine he had ever seen in his life. Ii has all the require ments of a mine as to formation and ores and all the requirements in the way of location.
 Walter Harvey Weed. who has been in the Bouse country for ten days. Is at the Hotel Adams with his fam fly MT. Weed is a copper authority pf high standing and is in the em- pIoy of the Lewisohns. who own the Ray Central and the big Miami mine near Globe. where a 3O0n-ton concen- trating plant and shelter is to be erected at once. Mir. Weed is pre- pairing a volume on the copper de- | posits of the United States. He in- spected the Little Butte and re- marked that it was surely a promis- | ng prospect and he proposed to give | t most worthy mention in his book |
 Mir Holman, above referred to as the Rawhide discoverer, spoke in | similar vein of the value of the | property and incidentally says he | las done a fine stroke of business | turing his few days visit in the | 2ouse section which he promises to |
