ABOUT PRECIOUS STONES.

Messrs. J. N. Savage, c. R. Jones, MT. Page, Mr. Kim and MT. Alexander-five men arrived here in the afternoon of Friday of last week, direct from the precious stone plant, in the neighborhcod of Fort Defiance. They came in wagon, over the new route cia Camp Verde, and encountered no hostile Indians. They brought with them several hundred pounds of stones of every size and color. They say they will soon return, and profess to have unbounded confidence in the wealth of the diggings. The Prescott Com pany and several other companies, had met with some success.
 Mr. Savage and Mir. Kim showed us what we think were rubies, garnets, emeralds, sap phires, and opals, and two or three stones that resisted every attempt to scratch them, and G. w. Bowers made several such at tempts with black diamond which he uses for such purpose.
 Mr. Savage is the head and front of Salt Lake City Company, composed of Walker Bros and other rich merchants of that city, and for them he has located several claims His best rubies were found at depth of ten feet from the surface, and he informed us that rubics and other precious stones have been found all through the immense region of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, lying between Fort Wingate and the Big Colorado river, so that, come who may, there is enough for all. The region of country in which they exist is we'll fixed for timber, water and game, but has rigorous climate. He swill return here in the Spring, ria Los Angeles, for the reason, he said, that it is the shortest and best route.
 We believe the other gentlemen of the par ty will winter here.
 In addition, we have the following, from various sources:
 "G. A. Treadwell, Secretary of the Origin al Diamond Discovery Company, states that he received last Monday evening, a consign- ment of forty or fifty diamonds from coun- try mot five hundred miles from this city. He states that the stones were sent to hlm by private party fitted out several months since. Robert Sherwood, jeweler, has pro- nounced the diamonds genuine, without a doubt."-Sdn Francisco Call.
 Special Dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle:
 Salt Lake, Nov. 11.-J. F. Berry, of New York, and party returned last night from the diamond fields, said to be one hundred and fifty miles from Cheyenne, bringing twenty six small rough diamonds and number of rubies.
 He alleges that he has found Janin's loca- tions, and brings back copies of notices. The diamonds are on exhibition at A. w. White & Co.'S bank, and attract great attention. Berry and party are very jubilant.
 A part of Captain Holbrook's Arizona ex- pedition left Denver on Thursday last, and are now above Pueblo, awaiting the balance of their party, who will join them within one week The party numbers fifty men, and has printing press and full outfit for starting new town in the diamond district.

 From the foregoing, it will be seen that the mystery that has hung around this pre- cious business is being gradually dispelled, and that the influx of population is going to be tremendous. Let us, of Arizona, prepare to accommodate those who will come, and fix for the new era that will dawn upon us peyf Gnrinu
