From VD River.

The CocOpah arrived here from Fl Dorado Canon and way ports last Satul day after
 q, on, bringing down 20, ,,00 pounds of ri, silver ore fiOm Mohave, 20,4G0 pounds of
 lead from Castle Dome, 44 bales of wool from Ehrenberg aad some S9000 in bullion from Fl DJ:alD and NJ Dhare. Sle took 3t1 cords of wood from Cottonwood Island up to the kl Dorado mill, that being ail the wood now cut, although contract has betI let for the cIttiIs of 50J cords. The
 wood now oa hand will run the mill until about the first of January. A new boiler hls been hauled in from Piothe, Nevada, breasts have been opened up and every thing is in good shape for prosperous
 winters run. Some fifty men are now en- ployed in and arould the works. The Mormols build flat boats on the Utah side, near the mouth of Grand canyon, and bring down loads of produce; selling potatoes at SIX cents per pound, barley at eight and ! other things in propor ion. On reaching the mill the hatbJats are broken up and sold for lumber, the polygamous mariners making their way home by laId. A Phila- delphia company is developing big copper m,ne near the Colorado at Callviile. It has plenty of money and it's operations are ing down through the rapids of Fl Dorado canyon the CocOpah made 65 miles in two and q quarter hours. That's what they say on board of h:r, and steamboat men are like Washington when he held the little hatchet In these canyons the water is pent u? between per .lendicular wall, of rock ar d rusheS through at terrific rate; to keep stcerage Way on Steamboats and keep clear of the rocks, it is customary to send them through under full steam So after all there no exaggeratlon in the Cocopah statement.
 Teams had not yet arrived at Hardyv:lle oI the 18th, and the Blackberry machinery WIS still lying on the bank. Capt. Mellon reports the river very good for this season Of the year. Above Hardyville the rocky bars gave him some trouble and in several places made it necessary for him to turn his 
 and open channel. This trip is probably the last une to be made to Fl Dorado until the next rise in the river.

TIE Gila City placers seem to be once more source of some excitement. The Papago Indians have never ceased work there, but lately they have taken out more gold than for long time previous. Lange was in town this week and sold quite purse of it. The gold is coarse and very pu e selling at Sal Francisco for S1S.75 to $1950 per ounce. Judge Porter and asso- ciates Il ye done more or less work on their claims out here for sev~ral years. They have one tunnel into the grave for nearly two hundred feet, showing good col0rs in every part of it. This week they were in duced, by recent rich developments, to locate additional ground, including some very promising veins of quartz. The su- perlntendent of the Gila Consolidated Company las taken a surveyor and force of men out there tu go right 10 work. A ditch will be taken out of the river and water br, ught onto the fiat at inc foot of the mesa. From there it is to be pumped by stean, to the top of the pay gravel, which will then be piped down as in all hS draulic diggings. The superintendent proposes to prospect the bed of the Gila where it cuts through the diggings, with view to put ting in machine now coming into use on Cal fornia rlvcr diggings. It is sort of ] steam pump without valves, but with i'm mense power of suction. It is mounted on d floating platform or raft and sucks up the loose river bottom at d great rate and runs it over the lower end of the raft into the river again, through sluices which save the gold. It takes up even boulders as large aS mans head A suction pipe, of foot or less diameter, is let down to the river bottom and weighted so that it may con- tnue to sink down. A heavy jet of steam is let into the upper pat which is curved over toward the sluices. The rush of steam produces vacuum in the lower part of the tube, which is at once filled with water and material from the river bed. These the si ction and steam keep pouring into the sluice in d stream as large as mans body. If this machine works well on the Gila d bonanza place to work it can be found in the Colorado, between the Laguna and the Pot Hole.

THE new freight shed at the foot of Main street is becoming quite an imposing structure. There seems 10 be more lum- b1r in it than in all the other buildings of Yuma put together. Its floor is built ur level with that of cars standing upOl the 8 de track and covers an area of 90 feet by B. Of its width g feet are occupied by the floor of the main building and on each side of it are platforms of ten feet width The caves of the roof project greatly and shelter the platforms. We have not heard that it is the company's intention to have house warming and give party when the building is finished. The floor is too rough to dance on anyhow.

| Have removed their Office to the commodious

In making this announcement they desire tc

citizens who have thus far extended their aid
| to this great enterprise, while again appealing
| to the entire community to promptly come for
ward and subscribe in accordance with their
| means, in order to enable the directory to push
with renewed vigor the work already so far ac-
complished to completion.
Every facility will be given. on application at
the office. to impart the information required to
convince every one that the success of the road
is assured as soon as the sum of s675. 900 is
reached, either in subscriptions to the first
mortgage bonds or to the stock of the company.
| In order to place their securities within reach
Of all classes of our people, the company have
| issued scrip limited In amount to $50 900, and
| made receivable either for stock when presented
| in sums OF 800. or for freight or passage on
completion of the road. This scrip is divided
into notes of $780, 800 $40 and S., transferable by
| bearer. thus enabling all to aid this immeasur-
| ably important work. the success of which will
/ largely rebound to the interests of every man.
woman and child In this city.
With regard to the first mortgage bonds, no
one can doubt their being first class invest
ment, apart from the collateral advantages
which will be derived by the residents of this
city; and that they will be so regarded by our
moneyed institutions the company refer to
recommendation made short time since by
the presidents of nearly all our banks and in
suranee companies of the second mortgage
per cent bonds OF the company, when such an
issue was contemplated.
To show the confidence felt by these institu-
tons in the proposed road, their officers recon-
mend the second mortgage bonds of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company as a first
class per cent per annum interest paying
investment" and say they will be received by
their several institutions as security for loans
with as much readiness as any other per
cent security of the State of Louisiana; they I'M
hesitatingly commend these bonds for invest
ment"
With this inducement supplemented by the
assurances that the company can obtain all else
necessary to place the entire road in working
order when this seemingly small sum shall
have been provided for. and further. that in
stead of second mortgage. first mortgage 6 per
cent bonds are substituted. can any citizen, who
really desires the prosperity Of this city. which
has been SO long retarded by the simple want of
proper communication with the almost mex
haustible resources of Texas, Arkansas and
Northern Louisiana fail to respond promptly to
this appeal?
