The word "boones" is spelled with a double "o" and an "e" at the end. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is spelled /buːnz/. The first sound is the long "oo" sound /uː/, followed by the "n" sound /n/. The "e" at the end is pronounced /z/. This spelling is consistent with English language rules, as double "o" is often used to indicate the long "oo" sound, and adding an "e" can change the pronunciation of the preceding consonant.
