the subject: A company has been form
ed in that city with capital of ten
million, to work these recently discoys
esed Arizonian diamond fields near the
head waters of the Rio Colorado CHIC
uito; and it appears that the company
has been very secret about its ot,era-
tions hitherto; that they have in the
Bank of California one hundred thous-
and dollars worth of large diamonds. a
dozen of which have been.cut; that they
have arOugh diamond of one hundred
and two carats "a regular Kok-i-noor)
and a quart of small diamonds (they
measure them by the quartz, and rubies
and sapphires and emeralds of no small
value. And then we are told how the
Aztecs, away down in Mexico, before
the time of Cortez, were, accOrdingtO
tradition, supplied with these precious
stones from the ,north of the Gila River,
meaning these diamond fields of .Ari.

large diamonds, an excitementi which
