OF good land, with timber and water, as yet
unoccupied. The whole region is teeming
with silver ard Gaena ores-rich in silver
and copper ores with silver and gold large

quartz.
These mines need only civil and military
protection TO yield immense returns Most
of the mines are still open for entry by any
one who has the enterprise to open and work
them. There is small settlement at the
mouth OF the ella, called Colorado City.
