the states, of vast and rich beds Of the
precious ores Immediately west of Ar.
kansas, daily assume more tangible and
imposing form. The traditional, his.
toricaI md personal evidence brought,
forward to sustain them, is remarkably
strong. and, we might say, to the san
guine mind convincing. The Van Blu.
rem (Ark.) lntelligencer publishes much,
and very interesting testimony upon
the subject.
Col. Black, who is to lead out the
proposed expedition in search ofthese
deposites, claims TO have seen them,
and gives pointed testimony to their
existence. The report of an United
States officer of the Army, made many
years since. is equally strong, and TO
the same effect. Some records of the
old Spanish colonial history. has been
exhumed, and they testify positively
that the deposit exists--that they were
worked for time, but that the miners
were partly killed and partly driven
of by the marauding Indians. II would
be indeed curious if it should be found
that vast bed of glittering gold, in the
native ore that underiies our Sub wes-
tern boundaries, and in this case we
should be doubly entitled to what we
may well claim now the appellation of
the Land of Gold.
The following paragraphs from Tex.

this matter, and have golden hue,

public attention. .....
