FABULOUSLY RICH
GOLD ORE STARTS
RUSH FROM YUMA

YUMA, April 81. (49-EXcitement oc-
casioned by the reported discovery of
trict, IS miles northeast of Yuma,
120-foot ledge of fabulously rich
gold showing ore in the Kofia dis
spread through this section of the
state today as only gold strike news
can travel.
5 Within six hours after Jim Nc
Donald, Yuma desert rat, had reached
this city, last night with the news
several automobile parties had struck
thetratf and the exodus of hopeful
pfospectors continued throughout the
day. Mcdonald, excited and made
weary by night interrupted by vari-
Gus cahs and messages, recorded his
claims at the county recorders office
this morning, and late today, with
party of four sourdoughs, had hit
the trail to his six claims, from which
he said he removed the rich samples
shown here, estimated to run in the
neighborhood of $4,000 a ton.
This 54ryear-old- upon whom ap-
parently fortune has chosen. to smile,
has given 20 years OF his life to the
desert country He made his big find
a deck ago, but there was no way for
him to reach Yuma, seat of Yuma
county, that he might record his
claims.
There followed days and nights
when Mcdonald anxiously scanned the.
horizon for sign of the automobile
that was to bring him supplies
Mcdonald is the typical prospector
of the desert, grizzled and brawned
from long contact with the elements.
The Kofia district has long been
known to be gold productive, 1t lies
to the south of Sngnal and Squaw
peaks TO theeast are the Shy noun
tains, while on the west is the Castle
Dome range.
The old King of Arizona mine, from
which more than az million dollars in
ore has been taken, is located lin the
region.

"It is just a question now Of
whether they want delays and are
taking this nefarious way of get

and are willing to try this case

the counsel table under the noses or
the Ford attorneys. Gallagher as
serted it would be virtually impossi-

the circumstances more than any
other should prompt them to
acduiescc i'm our prayer 10 proceed
with II jurors if they are acting
in good faith. and if they are
prompted by n desire for justice.
"The only question is if they arc
going to demonstrate what their
