GOLDZONE IS
ON THE MAP
TOWNSHIP TO BE LAID OUT FOR
NEW GOLD CAMP NEAR BOUSE
OWNERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE
A VERY RICH PROPERTY.

The recent gold strike on the old
Bouse and Mcmahon property me-
Bouse is attracting wide attention,
and according to all reports the
owners, w. C. Despair, Col. o. A.
Pease and Henry Adams, stand to
clean up a fortune. The following
writeup Of the property appeared in
the Yuma Sun last Tuesday:
"W. G. Despair and O. A. Pease of
the Investment Mining and Milling
Company, owning the claims on which
the new find of rich gold ore near.
Bouse wasmade a couple of weeks ago
are in town.
''They brought with them specimens
CT the ore from their claims which
excited the wonder of all who saw
them. Free milling ore very much
like that of the Fortuna mine, only
much richer, the gold could be seen
in small specks that in some places
are so numerous that peices weigh
iug four or five ounces seemed to be
more OF gold thanrOck. Even allowing
something for the enthusiasm Of the
d.scoverer of a ledge to be proud Of,
the ledge would not have to be any
thing like as big as they say it is
to hold a big fortune.
The company has, including what
I las by original location, by pur-
chase and what it has taken an OPP
ton on, 1410 acres of ground Through
this there has been accurately traced
on the surface of ledge that the
length OF 400 feet has in it rich
streak two and half and three feet
vide, which they have had assayed,
With the following results: one by
Miller e Brown of San Fran cisco,
showing $632 Is; another by Henry f.
Wood OF Denver showing $632.30;
and & tlird by James Irving & Co. of
Los. Angeles showing $752.3S. IN
these assays only gold was consider
ed There may be some silver or
copper in the ore, but with so much
gold there is no need to ask how
much copper and silver there is.
Outside of the very rich streak
the ledge carries gold for a width of
200 feet and cutting out the rich
streak there is $3.50 per ton in this.
The company has now sacked three
| tons of the rich ore which they Will
shortly ship to some reduction plant,
and it is estimated that this will
bring $1,000 per ton and maybe So,
dump fifteen tons that is estimat-
ed will bring $4,000 per ton and 81
tons that will go between $500 and
$500. The shaft from which the rich
ore to be shipped has been taken is
twenty-five feet deep, widened in the
lower part so that it's bottom is nine
from this is considered by fair esti-
mate to be worth $125,O00.
Besides the richness of the ore
there are two other advantages wor-
thy of consideration. The railroad
is close at hand, running through
the ground owned by the company
and there is an abundant supply Of
underground water.
"The company has selected town
site for the camp and have given it
the appropriate name of GoldZone. AS
soon as they can get around to it
this will be laid out in town lots and
steps will be taken to have post
office established
"The sole stockholders of the COM
pany are o. A Pease, president;
w. G. Despair vice-preSident and
Henry Adams, secretary and treas
urer.
THE visit of Mr. Pease and Mr.
Despair to Yuma is in way acct
dental. Mr.. Adams was severely hurt
in fall a few days ago and his part
ners took him to Phoenix where
he was placed in hospital. From
there they concluded to come on to
Yuma and attend to some business
affairs and to visit Mr.. DeSpain's
