All profits to be equally divided
without reserve, unless otherwise de-
termined by a vote of the members of
the company.
This company not to exceed 500
men.
Upon the payment of 5000, and the
signing of the required agreement,
each member receives an order upon
the quartermaster for the following
outfit, complete, viz: l Winchester
Repeating Rifle and Ammunition; l
Sharp's Revolver and Ammunition !;
Blanket, Camp Kit, Mining Tools and
Provisions for three Months.
The climate of this newly discovered
country is most charming, frost and
snow being unknown, except upon the
mountain peaks. The forests are alive
with every kind of game, and the wa
tiers with fish.
No time should be lost by those who
may be entertaining the desire to ac-
company the expedition, as the limited
number will soon fill up, and the "gold
hunters start for their new field of
labor and enterprise. S. B. Farnham,

Then follow details of march, for
furnishing supplies, medical atten-
dance, how to get back on stage lines
that do not now nor never did have
an existence, with articles of agree
ment and rules of discipline, all of
which would be ridiculous if not tend
ing to damage our Territory. In ref
erence to this enterprise" we have
seen a late letter written at Kansas
City, by the blk, Col S. B. Farnham,'
IN which he admits his completely in
and abandonment of the above scheme.
He says III his innocence that he met
one ''R. NJ. Cole, Secretary" III New
York, and that the crafty Cole did
there and then beguile him into the
enterprise" Notwithstanding we have
seen many reports i'll Chicago papers
Of the "ColonePs" knowing speeches
on the subject, and the declaration of
his own prospectus that he had "spent
the last eleven years among the gold
fields of the Pacific Coast, and who
was one of the first white men known
to have penetrated this wonderfully
rich yet unexplored country, and that
the object Of the company was to take
possession of and work the different
deposits of gold and silver discovered
by him." The old scamp having fail
ed in this operation" be turns State S
evidence, censures and elbows upon"
his comrade, pleads that he was fool,
&c, and therefore not responsible, but
that he is now honestly engaged i'll
a similar enterprise in Kansas City.
The rogue has left imitators in Chi
cago, as may be seen from the follow
lug extracts taken from a pamphlet
issued this year from Groom 2, No. 90, |
Washington street, Chicago, Illinois
This entertaining work is entitled
Prospectus of the Arizona Pioneer
Colonization and Mining Company"
It prefaces its plan Of operations as
follows:
Arizona is now attracting the atten
ton of the energetic and enterprising
men Of all classes, occupations, and
positions in the Eastern, Central, and
