 The Colorado River Placer Mining company, which some time ago se cured the Pot Hole Placers, situated about twelve miles from this town, and placed the necessary machinery for the handing of the water and continu- ing the work from water level down, reached bed rock gravel last week, and found it very rich, yielding from one prospect of still better results. The | Company owns fifty acres of this low ground, which will be good for num- Der of years work. Some fifty acres will be hydrauliced and will give returns of fifty cents to two dollars per square yard.
 | c. F. Jackson, who has charge of the work deserves great credit for staying with 1t as he has, meeting with one obstacle after another, for to a very great extent 1t was an experiment in this section of country, but his efforts have been crowned with success most
 satisfactorily to himself and company and at the same time demonstrates to others that they may likewise be the possessors of bonaHzas. This country has many similar properties, and some l not even located at the present writ 7 ing.
 The Colorado River Placer Mining l Company will shortly place several
 plants of machinery similar to that } which is now in use and push the :, work as rapidly as men and money l can do it. It is expected that hun- n dred men will be employed in the near s future, and with the rich ground on T every side and climate that admits 5. of twelve months working in each e year, placer mining should prove Il grand success. The St. Louis ano le Kansas City Placer Mining companies of will no doubt commence operations
