Some months since, an exploring party visited
the coast Of Choco, fer tho purpose Of examining
The gold mines in that section of the country; the
director of tho party unfortunately became si0k.
and the object was abandoned. This discouraged
the parties interested, aud the matter has mover
been taken up since. On Tuesday last, however.
