COW PUNCHER MAY BE
RICH NINE OWNER

| Probably no COW puncher or bronchO
| throughout the west than Oma l..
Grimsley. He has held the champion
ship as an outlaw breaker and has
made great reputation for himself
along these lines. He has many friends
and acquaintances in this part of the
state who will be interested to learn
that he is in fair way to become a
gilt-edged, coupon-clipping millionaire
mine owner
| The possibilities for this transition
are set forth in a recent issue of the
Los Angeles Herald as follows:
1.-THE rich placer country about Eli
renbura Ariz., which has attracted
attention for the past nine months on
account of the entry there of men of
means, is said to be growing rapidly
in prominence as one of the coming
mining regions of the southwest, or.
at least, to be entering on its seconl
era as a great producer of the yellow
metal. For, some 40 years ago over
100000 was taken out of these
| placer beds in less than two working
seasons, operations eeasing only when
a government survey threw the coun-
try into the Indian reservation, there
to remain until last spring when it WAS
again opened.
''That there is additional capital
soon to be invested in the conutry for
the purpose of installing modern ma.
chinery and developing on large
scale is admitted by o. l.. Grimsley,
president of the New La Paz Gold
Mining company, who will leave Sun
day with a party of local men for the
property, where he expects to meet
John II. Windfelder president and
general manager of the National Beet
Sugar company of Colorado and several
prominent eastern men.
A deal is now pending, it is said for
a part interest in the New La Paz.
which Mr. Windfelder anticipates ac-
quiring, either for himself or for his
eastern associates
In the Grimsley party will be Dr..
6. A. Scropps, treasurer of the com
pany; W. H. Newerf, the rubber man
ufacturer; Sherman Farr and Engineer
E. A. Rasor. The party will make the
trip by automobile.
"The property of the La Paz com
pany comprises five claims of over 400
acres. lying two miles east of Ehren-
burg, near the old town of La Paz
Mr.. Rasor. who on a previous trip to
La Paz made survey and report on
the New La Paz property, says there
are 100000 cubic yards of gravel
in sight there and that this gravel will
run an average of $3.50 yard. An
abundance of water can be piped from
the Colorado river and an earthern
reservoir, situated on a hill nearby,
has been excavated and needs only
partial cementing to complete it.
"The property has been thoroughly
prospected and is said to be gold bear
ing throughout. 1t is proposed to in
stall the most modern machinery and
construction appliances so that the
property can be worked on large and
intelligent basis.
"When the La Paz country was for
merly worked the ground was only
scratched In places and the method of
mining was the crudest known even
to that age of primitive development
Engineers and experts say that the
gravel worked out in that day will
still yield most proftably when mod
ern methods are applied
Another deal pending in the La
Paz country is that for the famous
Amazon claim, said to be one of the
richest in the region. 1t is a full
claim of $50 acres and carries rich in
coarse gold throughout its gravel beds
Detail is lacking as to this proposed
deal but the one fact is well grounded
that party from Colorado. after
making an examination, has about de.
eided to buy the claim outright at a
price said to run high in six figures.
The sale of the Amazon claim will. it
is said, be the starting of another sub.
stantial operator in the La Paz coun-
try.
Grimsley and Scroggs while in Ari-
zona expect to close a deal for the
purchase of an asbestos deposit locat-
ed IS miles north of Yuma. It con-
sists of so acres and is one of the
very few chrysolite formatioua in the
