From Saturdays Daily.
 WE have already announced the arrival of Mir. NJ. T. Brown, yesterday, from an extended trip in Sonora. Early this morn- ing we corraled this prodigal and obtained several items of interest. From Tucson NIT. Brown first visited Altar. He then examined the Juarez mines situated about S5 miles beyond Caborca. Here he found extensive and we'll defined gold ledges. The ore, although of a low grade is there in immense quantities and the property will prove very valuable provided water can be obtained in the immediate vicinity. There are also silver veins in the same locality which are now being worked, in a very crude manner, by Mexicans, who make small profit. The silver ore is of fair quality. Our distinguished explorer also visited the mines Of the Altar Gold 4 Silver Mining Company. MT. Williams, the Superintendent is now running cuts, sinking a shaft and generally extending the old workings. Mir. Brown then struck south and examined some old mines about 70 miles south Of Magdalena where he found some fair prospects. He also looked at some placer diggings east Of Magdalena which he found very good and which are worked with good results, by Mexicans during the rainy season. A number Of Americans are prospecting in that section. A New York company own ling some mines in the Planchas de Plata have just telegraphed to Dr. Clark, their agent in Magdalena, to commence work at once. These mines are less than sixty miles from the Sonora line and therefor come within statute forbidding foreigners to locate or work mines in tn cir own names, but by a special permit from the Mexican Government this company is exempted from the provisions of this statute. Re. ports concerning the rebellion are very jconfiicting and nothing reliable can be obtained. MT. Brown says that Ameri- cans are perfectly safe travelling in Sono- ra-he found no trouble in obtaining con veyances, got plenty to eat, and was kind ] Iy treated everywhere.

 CAPT. CLAY BEAUFORT, the well known and most efficient guide and scout arrived in town this morning from Camp Thomas, which Is TOW the headquarters Of the company of Indian scouts under his command. Capt. Beauford, though modest and unassuming in his manner is a most valuable citizen. For over six years he has been constantly employed ] by either civil or military authorities to aid in the suhjugatiOn and control oi the Apache Indians. We have personal knowledge of his tedious marches, great hardships and brilliant victories. Some of the most effective scouts ever made in Arizona, were those under his exclusive command. He claims only to he a public servant, employed and paid to fight, and we have abundance evidence that he has done his duty well. Such meritoriOus ser vices, though moiestly rendered, deserve public acknowledgement and commen iiation. Capt. Beauford will remain il
 town few days and then return to hi
 command at Camp Thomas.
