Arizona citizen., 1872-07-13

clined to think this visit of his will prove the one which will lead him on to fortune. He represents the Davis mine near Prescott, and the readers of this paper have been several times advised of its richness and continued improvements as work on 1t advances. Messrs Cook and Bowers seem to be operating jointly, and to advantage, but Pm not specially advised of what they represent.
 MT. Stansfeld, we'll known as @ freighter on the northern Arizona lines, is squaring up affairs here in the courts, and goes by steamer to- morrow to prepare the way for re- sumption of business. If grit is the winning element in man, Stansheld will yet be big success.
 w. c. Parsons, - Wood, and Dr. Gildersteen (this name may be mis- spelled) go down on the steamer en route to Wallapai District. They are not only full of enthusiasm over the future of their District, but feel as- sured that no doubts of its vast rich ness exist among we'll informed men. They have mining experience, and Parsons and the Doctor say they have seen all the evidence of wealth neces- sary to make them cheerfully expend their labor and money in the pursuit of fortunes in the Wallapai mines. l never conversed with men of such in- telligence and coolness who seemed to be so clear on the main proposition. They speak in detail of the many lodges which yield ore worth from S1OO up to many hundreds of dollars per ton, and declare their statements have already been verified. They claim that the District has almost the ed- vantages for poor miner of 8 placer one, and give names aud dates, and amounts realized, SO that doubters may trace up their assertions. They also speak hopefully of getting capl- tai in these at an early day, and that ere long Wallapai District will lead any other now known in silver pro- duction.
 I met MT. A. DeLand, of this city, yesterday, who has recently made an examination of the Bradshaw mines 1; and notwithstanding his former sue cessfuI career in Gold Hill, Nevada, he appears almost wild in his high es- timate of the Tiger and other Brad shaw mines. He predicts astonishing products from them, and has hope of interesting men of coin and experience and perseverance there very soon. With all these, other good prospects for Arizona seem more nearly than ever within our grasp. In conversing with Superintendent Towne and Chief Engineer Gray, of the great Central Pacific Railway Company, l find their road has already passed Visalla to Tule river, and this Fall will be con- pleted to Tehaohapie Pass also that in about thirty days, passengers will be sent that way to Los Angeles in some thirty hours less time than via steamer and Wilmington lighters and railway. Tickets are being printed for the route, and all steps taken to make good the promises of the com- pany. This route will evidently get all passengers subject to sea sickness and others who don't care to specially connect with steamer which sails but once in six days. A little more stag ing will be accepted with grace by most people, when the luxurious and rapid railway car awaits them at its close instead of steamer not always sweet, nor capacious, nor conducive to healthy appetites. I trust my next trip will not only bs more speedy but all on land. There is hardly doubt but this railway will reach the Col orado river in 1873, no matter what the Atlantic and Pacific Company may do. J. w.
