From The Sentinel Of last Saturday
 No paper will be published on Jan uary l.
 Dr. A. E. DeCorse has returned from several months of professional services at the Pima agency.
 David Neahr has returned from San Francisco.
 The supervisors have appointed Will liam Grant and Frederick Fredley con- stables for Yuma county
 J. NJ Barney has shipped during the week, to Castle Dome mines, Tucson and way stations, and California desert stations, 22,O0O pounds of merchandise by OsandOn, Jencks and Baldonado's Burro and wagon trains.
 Whatever doubts may have been felt by some, at first, in regard to the man killed beng the real bandit Chavez, those doubts seem to have been entire ly dispelled by the result of the long legal investigation, and by the univer sal admission of Mexicans here, who viewed the body, that it was no other than the real Chavez.
 The placer mines mentioned in the papers lately, The Sentinel says are situated about 250 miles northeast oi here, and about eighty miles this side of Prescott. They are dry diggings there being no water nearer than a mlle and half The gold is coarse and Of excellent quality. Geo. BlaiT showed us a nice little bunch of it. probably about two ounces, which he said he took out himself in two days The lack of water is the great draw back, the gold being only obtained by the Mexican process of "dry washing, in which Americans are not generally very expert. The water spoken of Is not a running stream but only spring of limited capacity.

 The Christmas Tree at the church is a real beauty.
 The Vulture mill and mine at Wick enburg has been sold to J. M Barney, for $32OO.

 MT. Aguerre has been to Santa Ma ria (near Ehrenberg) and thinks more of the diggings than others we have in- terviewed. He says the want of water is the only back-set and he proposes to remedy that as far as possible by having two dry-washing machines built for the diggings.
 A. L. Seeley, superintendent of the stages of the Arizona and New Mexico express company, came in from San Bernardino on Saturday last, and left on Monday for San Bernardino again. While here he arranged for lumber and engaged mechanics to build four stations. one on the new road and be tween here and Skull valley, one half way from WickenbuTg to Cullen's, and two others at points between here and Ehrenberg which we do not remember They propose to have stations from fourteen to sixteen miles apart, and make the time from here to the South ern Pacific railroad in three days.

THE NEW YEARS QUESTION.

l come at His bidding who keepeth
 In His hand the years past and to be, The old year in death-Silence sleepeth,
 And hears not the welcome to me. Say what of the Future? Denial
 Avails not. The pages are there, Be the record of doubt and of trial,
 Or halcyon moments and fair. Tell Of lips in strong agony bitten
 In war; or of missions of light; 1 come with a volume unwritten,
 Not mine is the task to indite. Twill be stored with the archives of ages
 For thy children's children to see; To! there lie the unsullied pages,
 The record thereon rests with thee!

Who is the Man?

A German lately went to the Agency at Klamath Lake, and reported leaving a companion crazy from hunger, they having los their way en route from Walla Walla. The Indians at the agency were sent out 10 find hIm, and discovered his body in Sprague river valley. The deceased is reported to leave a wife and six children in Ari- Zona.
 As far as identification is concerned, the last clause in the above, makes this "-needle in a haystack " case.

his people to the White Mountains, for I did not think it was the intention of our Government to infiict hardship upon his people; that what was done was done with the intention of benefit ing them.
 The commanding officer at Camp Bowie reports that two hundred of the White Mountain Indians, recently re- moved from Camp Apache to San Carlos, are on the Chiricahua reserva- ton.
 The Indians in thls Territory are now all peaceably disposed. Most of the renegades and turbulent characters have been exterminated, and 1 believe if Ie Indians on the reservations are properly dealt with, there will be no trouble. Since they have been turned over to the Indian Department, and passed out of the control of the militia " authority, I have not been able to discriminate between those who merit ed punishment and those who did not, in cases of absence from the reserva- tions, and 1 have not given any atten- ton to such, except where depreda- tiOns were committed.
 The reservations that occupy the at tention of the military commanders to any extent, are the White Mountain, San Carlos, Chiricahua and Colorado reservations. The hope is entertained the Indian Agents in charge, will be able to conduct the affairs of their re- spective Agencies so as not to require the intervention of troops, now that the entire management of the Indians is in their charge.
 Since the report ofmy predecessor the telegraph has been extended to Camps Verde and Lowell, and detachments O. troops are now engaged in extending the line to Camp Grant, San Carlos, and Apache, and thence to New Mex leo. Most of the labor is being per formed by details of troops from the posts to be connected. The line is also being kept in order throughout the Territory by the labor of troops. It is an invaluable means of transmitting orders, and greatly aids the Depart ment Commander in the administration of his duties.
 The reports of the Chief Quartermas ter and Chief Commlssary show tht fact that the expenses of the Depart ment are greatly diminishing as tht Territory increases in population, anC the facilities for transportation are in creased. One or two years more O. peace and prosperity and the expense: of the Department will be reduced tC a minimum.
 The increased security to the lnhao itants of the Territory has encouraged immigration, and the population ha, materially increased in the past year They have felt safe to bring in stock and numerous herds of cattle and flock. otsheep have come into the country during the past summer. Miners have i felt secure in their pursuits, and con sequently many valuable mines, par
 ticularly mines of silver, have beer discovered, and are now been develop ed A few years of peace, and witt increased facilities of transportation this Territory will develope into one O the most productive of the precious metals.

Military Items.

Congressman Piper of San Francis co has introduced bill for the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War De partment. The most adverse critic of the military branch of government, could not wish for the passage of a bill more damaging to both army and Indians, than just such an one.
 December I, Maj " K. Hart, Fifth Cavalry, was ordered to report for duty in connection with the International Exhibition of 1876, to Major s. c. Lyford, Ordnance Department, chair man of board on behalf of the United States Executive Departments.
 December l, Captain G. c. Smith, assistant quartermaster, was relieved from duty in the Department of Texas and ordered to report to the command ing officer department of Arizona for assignment to duty as Post Quarter master at Camp Grant, Arizona
 A New York correspondent of The San Francisco Post got off this: When General Sherman was here recently he delivered himself forcibly on the prop osition to cut down the army. "Its not the rank and file that should be cut down." he cried "if they want to ec0nomize let tbem cut down me and the rest of us at the top of the army who cost so much and tax the country so heavily. What does a little army like ours need with such a mob of high and heavy commanders, all going around with shoulder straps and draw. ing big salaries? Why, a Major Gen eral ought to be able to take charge of our army, and yet it has enough high officers to command a million of men. Let them cut us down; let them cut me down." cried Sherman, if they want to do the correct thing"
 Senator Mitchell of Oregon has in troduced a bill to make Alaska a coun- ty of Washington Territory; says the military rule has been oppressive, and that General Howard approves the bill

 Arising early the following morning went forth to visit the valley at the head Of the Santa Cruz river. Here again, as in almost all the mountain valleys, or mesas, I found an almost limitless country, even more. beautiful than any had yet seen. I crossed the valley from the Patagonia on the west to the Huachuca mountains on the east, distance of about ten miles. Fine oak, with DO chaparrel, no mes quite, no Underbrush of any kind skirted the Patagonia The oak is not unlike that which formerly bedecked the valley in the immediate vicinity of 1 Stockton. Here are
 MOUNTAIN QUAIL AND WILD TURKEY In great abundance, and very large. Deer and antelope are here in focks that in the distance remind one of sheep, for which they are often mis- taken. A pair of deer sprung up from the deep grass not fifty feet from my side, and mountain quail crouched in the meadow close under my horses feet. As I proceeded nearer the river or stream the oak timber lessened and beautiful prairie manifested itself. Here the grass in many places stood higher than the horses back, and as thick as wheat in Calaveras valley. On the banks of the stream cottonwood grows in prolusion. Here, as in other places of the Territory, living water is scarce, only few springs at distances of from five to ten miles are to be found. This makes it peculiarly desir. able for stock-raising purposes on ! large scale. Here 1 discovered fine spring of water, and as this is the dry est season of the year l knew this to be permanent. This seemed to me to be the
 VERY EDEN OF THE sTOCK-RAIsER. | dismounted, watered my horse, took out my journal, wrote upon it a notice of location, cut the leaf from my book, split the limb of tree and inserted 1t as notice to all subsequent visitors. 1 shall send man out in short time To build a small house and live in 1t until 1 can make arrangements to do something with it for myself or my friends. This point is about twenty miles from the town of Santa Cruz in I Mexico, which is on the route of the railroad from Tucson to Guaymas. If the impoverished stock-raisers of Cal f ifornia could behold the thousands Of acres of grass upon which hOOf never trod, I think they would remain in Cal ifOrnia with their excessive f1Ocks but short time. Flock after flock, herd after herd, immigrant after immigrant, arc on their way to this Territory. I When came we overlook several large tiocks of many thousands each on their way hither, and in fine condition. l have yet to see the first poor sheep or cattle in this Territory. Proceeding on across the valley I again entered fine oaks upon the foothills of Hua- chucas, and nowhere dId l see any thing but grassy valleys, plains and
 hillsides
