Colorado River PIacers.

Much has been written and said about the existence of rich placer fields on the Colorado river, but until recently the attention of capital has not been directed to that locality, says the Ouray Plaindealer Since the exploration of the Grand canyon of tue Colorado by the Stanton party much information has been given by special correspondence of the daily press, creating renewed interest in the reported gold discoveries. Cass Hite, the veteran prospector and pioneer gold hunter of the Colorado, made deal in Denver last week which indicates the measure of the confidence of capital already enjoyed by the new district. He sold a group of claims to a Denver syndicate for $300,000 He retains an interest, and requires the expenditure Of a certain amount of money in procuring water for the operation Of the properties. Machinery and the necessary appar- atus for raising water from thirty to forty feet, from the river, has been purchased and will be placed and sluicing begun as early as the work can be accomplished, and 1t is. calcu- lated that the company will make its first "clean up" by July 1st. This will enact the first busy placer min ing scenes on the Colorado river, at least during the modern ages of civili- Zation.

zona.
 In the person of Judge William Ii. Kirkland, of Congress, Prescott has as visitor one of the old landmarks of the pioneer days of the southwest, whose career puts 10 shame many of the windy fellows who are SO fond of masquerading under the guise of old timers. The judge is as full of old and interesting "reminiscences of the "days that were and are not as an egg is full of meat. The first man to set up an arastra in northern riZOna, the first man to sink a mining shaft q hundred feet, and also the first man 10 run 9 mining camp on his own ac- count, the judge Was one ot the per manent figures in the '50s and Cos especially during 'Gl and '65, in which years he opened up and ran the "Oi- ten" mine, (then known as the Gold en Gate,") on Copper creek, eight miles from Prescott, from which for over a year he took from $i 300 to $l,7OO in gold per week, with four arastras and eighteen head of ami mals.
 In relating his experience, Judge Kirkland gives an interesting ac count of the evaouatlGA af Tucson by the Mexican troops, in February 1853. At the time Of the evacuation besides himself there were the follow ing Americans residing in Tucson Pete Kitchen, Paddy Burke, John Davis, William Finley, Fritz Con stance, Julius Constapce, Green Ruskt John Muncie, V. $.
