FIFTY YEARS WORK
 QUARTz|TE RECORD

Since 1865 the dry placer gold fields adjacent to Quartzsite, Yuma county, Arizona, has been worked with more or less profit on small scale, through the medium of native dry washer pick, drill and "muckstick," says the Parker Post. The highest values in this district are found in a natural ce- ment which lies in blanket form, from four to twenty feet in thickness, above the bedrock. From the grass roots to this cement the formation consists of semi -cemented gravel rich in gold when treated on a large scale, but not of sufficient value to tempt the dry washer, who sinks direct to bed rock, and works only about four feet of the richest cement. Half a yard of gravel a day mined, hoisted from the shaft, hammered by hand to liber- ate gold from cement, and TUT through the dry washer is a high av- craze for one man; and as earning: of from $10 to $20 a day were common occurrence in former years, it is no difficult to realize the richness o these placers. Furthermore, the earl, workers could not mine with any de gree of profit to a depth of more thai 20 feet; for this reason there are vas areas that have not given up any O their virgin value.
 Chief among the fields of tn Quartzsite district are the Plomosa La Paz, Middle Camp, Orc Fino an La Cholla.
 It is said that between 1865 am early in the seventies over $7,000, 90 in gold passed through La Paz alone then the Yuma county seat, support ing a population of 1000 placer min CTS. The old inhabitants say that tn Plomosa field sent out s2,000, 900. Fab ulous sums were gleaned from tn gravel by hand, and it was commonl known that great sums still remaine in the ground. In spite of this fac no practical means of liberating tn
