The Arizona Sentinel

Last Saturday came by rail, a boat complete, for the South Western Mining Co. at El Dorado Canon. The water is so low above Hardyville, as to render navigation for our steamers very difficult, and this boat will take the cargo of the "Gila" from that point to the mill. It came on two cars all ready to be put together by Owens, Downey and other carpenters who are at Hardyville awaiting the arrival of the Gila on which it was shipped. It is of 65 tons burthen, and was built by Delaney at San Francisco, has a cedar deck, wire rigging, patent capstan and 2780 pounds displacement to the inch of draught; her mast is 48 ft. long, main boom 28 ft., and she carries 438 square yards of canvass, and arrangements are being made for an engine which will be put in her later on.

Her name is the "Sou' Wester" and she inaugurates a new system of navigation on the Colorado River.
