The weekly Arizona miner., 1869-11-06

CAar T0if~G4rE.-We believe it Is the iRtes- ton of the military authorities to make of Camp Toll-Gate. a regular post or fort, with garrison accommodations for about four companies of soldiers. To this We have no objection. A mil itary post is needed somewhere in that vicinity, and we learn that the site and locality selected are the best to be found in that section. The camp is on the Prescott and Mohave Wagon Road, 40 miles west from Prescott. and near the line of the 3jth Parallel Railroad route. It is surrounded by good grazing and agricultural lands, and considerable timber. The country to the north of 1t IS high and mountainous, well timbered, grassed, and supposed to be rich in mineral. The prospecting party that lately pass ed through it thoroughly satisfied that it con tains lots Of precious metals, and to prove their sincerity, will return there as soon as the clouds let down sufficient water 10 enable them to test the matter. We have also learned that it con tains veins of good coal
 TmE PRosrEcrIN0 PAKrTrS We learn. from Charles Franklin. who arrived here late last week, from PbGnix Salt River, that the Cooley prospecting party had returned to Pbenix pre- yious to his departure from that place. They prospccted considerable on Upper Salt River. but found no digglngs. An immense quartz ledge was discovered in one of the banks of the river. The specimens taken from l. by Mr. Coo Icy were seen by Mr. Franklin. who informs us tha, they were rich in gold. Tbe party attempt. cd to explore the big canyon. ba: found |, too rough. Mr. Cooley said the Jackson party had made a treaty of some sort with the PlnAl Apaches. Nothing has been heard from this party since they started from Salt River for Pinal Mountains.
