MOHAVE COUNTY.

MT C. E. Foster, who has been running township lines in Hualpai and Cedar Valley mining districts, Mohavc county, arrived in Prescott on last Saturday afternoon, after having accomplished a great q, al of hard field work. With him were several assstsnt, Extensive travelling and sight seeing in our sister county has Jeff favorable impression of the mineral wealth of said county en- graved upon his mind, and, although the trip was hard one, it has made himself and as sistants as rugged as grizzlies, since there is no more healthp producing labor in the world than that of travelling through mountsinou. Northern Arizona, over ground that was, un- til recently, occupied solely by murderous. thieving sayages. He in his travels, called at Camp Besle Springs, Cerbat and tnanv other places. visiting prominent quartz iodes. many of which will, he is positive, soon prorc great sources of gold, silver and copper. The Keystone ledge, in Mineral Park, and the i6ernia, in Cedar Valley district appear to be his fhvorites, as upon them he layishes great praise.
 NIT N. F. Pierce, an old and worthy citi- zen of Prescott, came with Mir Foster For several months past, MT Pierce, Mr Jaycox. Mr Cummings and another man, have been working a gold ledge, which working has paid them very well. It is named the Green wood. The following facts concerning the Greenwood district, in which this mine is situate, will give all converant with the re- zion west of Prescott, an inklng of it's whereabouts: Greenwood district ia bounded on the north by Burro creek; on the west by Sandy creek; south, by Santa Maria river; the east line follows this stream for a distance of l5 miles.
 The party have located two ledges-the Greenwood and Telegraph. The iirst-named is large ledge, carrying between $GO and fl0O gold to the ton of rock Five tons of rock, worked bythem in an arrastra, gave them about S40O in nice gold. The Tele- graph is neither as rich nor as large as the Greenwood but is valuable. In this region, which is not to exceed B miles from old Camp Date creek, water, wood and grass are abundant. The climate is much warmer than ours.
 Col David Buell., an enterprising miner,-I famous in Nevada, California, and elsewhere, is now in the section of country of which we speak, with a view to purchasing mines and erecting silver mill on the Sandy.
 Mir. Pierce brought some of the ore with him.
 K. W. Groom, Jackson McCrackin and many Other yenturesome prospectors, former ly of Prescott, are, at present, working mines in Cedar valley district, near the Colorado river.

The merchants of Tucsop, in this Terri tory, have again commenced shipping goods from San Francisco, Califoriia, via Guaymas, sonora. They, no doubt, find this cheaper route than that via Yuma, which is little singular, since it is all water way from San Francisco to Yuma, with about the same number of miles land transportation upon both routes.
 This fact gives an inkling of what the port of Gusymas would soon become were it in possession of Americans. A fine harbor, nearness to the Pacific ocean, are its great attractions. With a railroad running from Guaymas Co Tucson, Florence and points north of Salt river, in this Territory, Quay mas would be very successful rival to either San Francisco or San Diego, for the trade of Arizona and portions Sf New Mexico.

sire to say that it has met with sincere and
profound appreciation in scientific circles.
In publishing this map no expense was
spared. If any impartial person will glance
at the title, viz: Inundated district of the
