SILVER STATE.-The n. Y. Times saws
the gold State is likely to have compan-
ion silver State. The projected territory
of Arizona is reported to be as richly CD
dowed with silver mines as California is
with gold diggings. The Cad sen purchase.
if all the reports from that quarter should
prove true, will be almost as valuable an
addition to our territory as California. The
Illinois, on her last passage, brought
among her freight several packages of sill
yer fom that supposed desert, which are
represented as being very rich.
Those ores were from the veins lately
opened and occupied by the Sonora explor-
ing and Mining Co., and were forwarded By
the manager of the company from Tubae,
GaGsden purchase, to the office of the COM
pany in Cincinnati.
The late discoveries of silver in the
Gadsden purchase, 1t is said, are attracting
much attention in California Some of the
mines are represented as being very rich in
silver, and the propretors are only waiting
for government to protect the inhabitants of
the Purchase from the depredations of the
Indians, to enter, extensively upon mining
operations.
