THE Ia PAZ ROAD.

The promise Of good road TO TT. Mohavo
must not tempt US to relax our efforts to securo
better communication with La Paz. Messrs
Lount & Co. speak confidently Of their road via
Williams Fork, or at least off from the Fork a
short distance. They think il can be made
available at slight expense. IL is pronounced
vastly better now than the road known az The
Williams Fork trail
But from all we have learned to this time on,
best hope Of prompt and easy communication
with La Paz is by the Ehrenberg road 10 Wea.
yer, or TO within thirty or forty miles OF Weaver
and thence In the direction Of Date creek to tbi,
place. t.tt
No effort should be spared to secure water up.
on this road. If individual exertion IL insuis.
cent, aid may be solicited from the territorial or
general governments. The matter is OF vital
Importance to the whole Territory, and our cit.
zens will do well to act in it at once
We do not know that public aid can be had.
We are aware. however that many improvements
Iof far less Importance have been favored with
such aid and that money appropriated to it and
prudently spent will be applied in q way which
must speedily benefit the Territory, and indirect
lily if not directly the whole country. Capita
will not End its way here in quantity so long az
the Territory is destitute Of roads and means Of
travel and communication.

NEW PLACERS.

The want OF water has 80 generally retarded
the working OF our placers that We have been
disposed TO place Our entire dependence upor
quartz mining, Ever and anon, however, the
returns from the placers that can be worked, are
such as to cause lively sensation, even among
our most saDguine owners OF feet. Thus at Lynx
creek lately some fine results have been had, and
at Big Bug the industrious workers continue 10
get good pay. The interest of the moment,
however, is in the placers of Turkey creek and
Black canon, some fifty miles nearly south from
here. The success OF the Mexicans, who have
been there for some time, has been such Is to
attract many Americans, and the region bids
fair to soon be az merry with rockers and sluces

Many hundreds of ounces have already been Ia

PRIOR to reaching the canon, in which they are
supposed TO be OF the first class There ia an
abundance Of water for sluicng and il is thought
that wagon road can be had from here via
Wooiseys ranch and the Aqua Fra, and one
from Pimo via the Aqua Fria. Such roads if
connected would greatly reduce the distance
from Prescott to the ella country, aud should be
found and worked IL necessary. We have too
long been inactive in the matter OF securing a
short and direct route to Pimo and Tucson.
Col. Woolsey long since gave it as bis opinion
that good road could be had by the Aqua Fria
and the Governor expressed the same Judgment
after his journey over the country. We must
mot omit to state that some excellent looking
gold and silver bearing quartz has been found on
the lower Turkey creek and Black canon Some
specimens brought to the Governor from the No,

to be large and well defined, They are attract
