ARIZONA.
lorado, is a young, but active and hopeful settlent. It has a large trade from the quartz mining
tricts around it, and even from the Wauba Yuma
trict, 40 miles in the interior, and from Prescott,
capital, 160 miles inland.
Recently the Utah people have flocked to Hardye for their annual supplies, finding it much easier
n to go, as heretofore, to San Bernardino and Los
gelos.
The mines of the several districts contiguous to
jave and Hardyville, and of Eldorado Canon, 60
es further up the river, are among the most noted
1 promising in the newly-known portions of Ariza. The ledges are many of them very large;
t ores, both of gold and silver, the latter predomiting, are surprisingly rich. Considerable money
already been expended in opening the lodes;
or two mills are in operation, and others are concted for. Immediately upon the river there is a
drth of wood, but a supply may be had from the
Sramento and Wauba Yuma districts, and from the
gas, 30 miles north of El Dorado Canon, or from
Buckskin Mountains, 100 miles north. Rafted
don the river, it would cost but little more than for
cutting. Some mountains 60 miles above El Do
ro Canon, and within six miles of the river, contain
t in beautiful transparent crystals, and of the finest
ality.
