Mr.. Graham's Opinion of the Gold Re-
giOn.

Mr.. Graham's Opinion of the Gold Re.
gion.
Our correspondent at Washington writes
us under date of Sth inst. as follows:
Mr.. IL. j. Graham, the first e'ected del
egate from Pixies Peak. under the popular
organization, arrived here on the 2d in.
slant, and has communicated valuable in
formation to members relative to this in
teresting region. Mr.. Graham thinks that
about Sl5. 900 in gold has been taken out
and sent to the States. The mining par.
ties arrived late in the season, and were
not able to do more than to make surface
explorations before it became necessary
for them to prepare shelter for the
winter. His general conclusion from
what he saw and heard is that for space
of one hundred miles north and south the
country would supply gold at paying
rate per hand. The miners had nc
machinery. and were compelled to coniint
their operations to washing dirt in pans
There was plenty Of water and suffici.
ency of cotton wood and pine for all
necessary purposes. The settlers had be.
gun to get ont lumber with whip saws the
day before he left. Coal was reported
within convenient distance of Auraria by
the mountaineers. 1t was thought that
the country would prove well adapted to
the production of wheat, as well as to the
rearing Of sheep.
MIR. Otero, representative from Eew
Mexico, says the boundaries proposed by
Mr. Colfax's bill include the best part Of
his territory for agricultural purposes, but
he assentcd to the very practical remark Of
Mr.. Graham. that there is land enough and
gold enough for all.
