Burt of Phoenix. who arrived in the city yesterday morn ing about 1:30 from the big gold camp after hitting the roads through snow, rain. mud and sand for three days
 These gentlemen have been look ing over the Oatman district for several months and are now heavily interested in that phenomenal gold
 district. The purpose of their trip to Phoenix is to complete the organiza- : ion of the Arizona Boy Mining and Milling company.
 The company these gentlemen rep resent, owns the largest tract of ground of any company in the Oat- man district, 42O acres within five miles If Oatman, which shows plen- ty of free gold from the grass roots.
 On this ground is an abundant sup ply of natural water, a condition which does not exist on any other property in the district
 These claims adjoin some of tho rioVen ground of the Oatman district and were thoroughly examined be- ore purchase, by men from Califor- ia, Colorado and Arizona. After de- riding that this ground was among

 This con 2any represents some of the most wealthy men of Los Ange- es who have devoted considera ble time and spent lots of money in an investigation of the district. and while MT. BlenkirOn was reluctant in giving out information concerning he men backing the proposition. for ne said, the ground we have is sui ficient without anyone to back it." It has been learned through other sources that he is a member of the firm of Blenlliron Bros. of Los An ~eleS. one of the wealthy firms of the Pacific Coast NIr Blenkiron says that Mir. Burt of this city. was the man who brought his attention to the property and through whon. he purcheea was made
 NIT. Patterson is a mining -ngineer and capitalist of Denver. and had gone to the Oatman district to look it over. There he met MT. Blenkirou and Mr Burt and was induced to look over the ground they had pur- 0hased. After examining he said.
 this is what I want. can I get in?" Hes in and will spend most of his -ime in that district looking for more ground as good as that of the Arizona Boy.
 After going over the legal end of their incorporation with their resi- tent attorney, Assistant Attorney General George W. Harben. the men -Xpect to return to Oatman Satur- day.
 The Arizona Boy Mining and Mill ing Company now has a large num- Der of men at work on it's grounr, and if the rock, from the surface is qn indication of what there is in the ground underneath it will not he long before the Arizona Boy NJ. and N Go. will be heralded as one of the largest gold producers yet discovered.
 When men of the standing of those interested in this company will snend their money in the Oatman district it is pretty conclusive evidence that it is one of the richest districts yet discovered
