 gsseAzsS TO TUCSON AaD EA Raz. The wagon road to Tucson, via, Weaver and the Pine Villages. seems te be sn entirely pgac- iicable one. The military expreas goes over ib in seven days, and trains make Che entire distance, l (240 milesD in from twelve 10 fifteen. No seri~ ous delay or difficulty has occurred in crossing either the Salinas OF Gila.
 1t is natural that the people Of La Paz should be anxious for good road to the new mines. be route Co Weaver frs. followed in December last by Herman Ehrenberg, Esq. che eminent civil and mining Engineer who now lives at Ia Paz, and has long been active in developing Ghe Ter ritOry, promises tO be feasible one. Sergeant Russell. who accompanied Captain Beuson from this post to Ia Flag. describes 1t a5 Fnnniue through 6 comparatively level country, with an abundance of good grass, but a lack of timber and water. To supply the latter tbe citizens oi La PaZ are digging wells at several points. Me. Tyson. superintendent of the Apache Chief
 
 Ia Peg. The Sergeant calls t I40 miles from La Paz to Weaver. but Mr EhrenheFg. ia 6 com munlcation 70 ghe Governor, cogerjHg au excel~ cut map of the route, makes 1t much lees We are permitted to give the folo@ing extracts from VT. Ihreube.gs letter They demonstrate the Importance Of ghe route and also his confidence iD shiS mining district, aud are well worthy of attention
 'lo make the road valuable aud serviceable for extensive travel some money mus. be expended n opening more watering places thaG are now found on Dhe route. We have now few men out io improve those found by us, which will open the road for transportation, bat is ehopId be made first class road.
 l The route to Makers aud oFt NVhppie wlil 1 not 90 to Weaver, but at Q point of mountains called Canon Water by Us, and 75 miles from ] Lg Paz it wlll turn in more noFtheFiy direction either by Rhodes Raach. Date Greek, oq ss a point between the two. thence 1 am sold en excellent road exists.
 At Canon Water the road will also turn of for Tucson, striking the Weaver wagon route about 2j m 90 miles south of that place. l estimate the distances from ia Paz as gol~ ! lows, viz
 l To Los Angeles 260 miles to Canon V vaEer i Ij to Weaver ll0; to Walker l33 to Tucson l250 to Albuquerque 560 (Not by the foot Of the San Francisco mountain but by more direct line crossing the Rio Verde or San Francisco, near the g. tn parallel, and striking over to the Little Colorado)
 ! To Fort Yuma, To miles; to Williams Fork 60 to Fort Mohave 40; | think ali attempts at reaching the Colorado higher up than Ia Paz, with wagons. will prove failure for all practical purposes owing 10 inter yening mountain ranges and other obstacles, and last not least that the permanent head of aayi- ga;ion is in reality the town of Ia Paz. At a higher stnge of wate. boats will ascend Tor at least 2o0 miles more, and undoubtedly enter q good mining section.
 | We may be mistaken in regard to the water and is quantity on the proposed route l consider the road of such importance that half a dozen failrres in wells, should not cause it to be abandoned.
 As far as regards the mineral resources of your section. bave great faith, although have as yet had but little time to investigate them but the general formation ot the mountain ranges, their massive character grand veins, rich minerals. and the elements necessary to work them, and the general geographical position of the section, and other reasons, force ms to thls belief.'
 Messrs Lount, Frederick and Moves, of Good- win, started for La Paz, by this road on the 3rd inst. Mr. Moves will proceed 70 San Francisco to rrocure a -aw.mill and quartz cruaher and is
