Gold.

The rich yellow gold contains to flow in. to Tucson in greater or less streams from the Santa Ritas and elsewhere. Altogether for the week past, we learn Of lj6 ounces or some S265O worth Of placer gold, which has been brought in from the Santa Ritas, during that time, and disposed Of in town to Messrs. l.. NJ. Jacobs & Co.,, E. N. Fish 6 Co.,, J. II. Archibald, Wood Broth CTS, Tully, Ochoa X Co.,, $. H, Drachman, and Lord < Williams. Among this were several handsome pieces. Mir. Ralston, who came in Thursday, showed us one large nugget Of gold, weighing SA ounces, and says that on the same day on which he took out this piece, he also washed out in dust, 80 worth, besides. He says with a little water these placers would be very valuable. MT. Wood also had a fine mug get Of santa Rita gold worth slO4.
 The finest lot Of gold we have seen in Tue son, yet, was large quantity brought in this week from over the line Tn Sonora, and purchased by MT. Wm. Zeckendori for s5,O57. A portion Of this gold was anal. gam, but the larger part was dust and mug gets. Mir. Zeckendorf kept this precious stuff on exhibition, filling several large dishes in one Of his show cases, for a few days, just to make other people feel badly.

ASSURANCE MEETING.-The Advisory
 Board of the Missouri Valley Life Insur- ance company held meeting at the office Of Messrs. Farley S Pomroy, on Thursday evening, when the affairs of the company's businessin Arizona were generally discuss ed. The principal topic was that of effect ing arrangements by which the premiums paid here may be retained and loaned un- der the direction Of the Board, in accord ance with the understanding when the or ganization was made, and the Secretary, Mir. Farley, was instructed to present the matter to the home office. The company can in no other way so we'll promote its business, as to permit the local board here, under entirely safe restrictions, to loan the cash paid for premiums by It's Arizona policy hol.ters. The Secretary advised the Board that during the year past exactly s3577 in premiums was paid on SlO0.OOO Of insurance In Tucson, and this sum can readily be augmented by perfectlng an ar rangement to retain the money here. A good deal of interest was manifested in the matter Of insurance generally, and the benefits especially canvassed and recog- nized. The policy holders found them selves credited with about eleven per cent. on the premiums paid the first year, and generally they expressed confidence in the company, both as regards reliability and advantages offered by it.
