LA PAZ,  YUMA COUNTY.

  This district is located in the northern portion of the county, about twenty
miles northeast of Ehrenberg. It was organized several years since, upon the
discovery of rich placer diggings in this section, from which a large amount of
gold was extracted. Its remoteness from places where supplies can be obtained,
and the scarcity of water for mining purposes has caused a suspension of
operations for the present, but when by the means of railroad communication,
this region becomes more accessible, no doubt mining operations will be resumed.
