The Placer Mines of Altar.

Early in the last century large quantities of gold were extracted from the almost waterless plains of Altar district in northwestern Sonora. These mines have remained idle ever since, until few months ago when 8 few American and Mexican gentlemen obtained from the federal government of Mexico, a concession for tract of land 12Ax94 miles square, situated in the heart of the placer region, and embracing several auriferious quartz veins worked to limited extent by the ancient miners and now found to be rich in gold. Recently the owner s purchased patent drywashers and put a large force of Yaqui Indians to work on shares in the placers, and they are taking out large quantities of gold, but most of the fine and all of the flour gold escapes. The dirt and gravel are so easily worked, the quanti- ty so abundant, and so rich in fine as well as coarse gold, that the owner: are preparing to pipe to the ground an abundance of water, which can be had from 10 to 20 miles distant, so as to gather all the precious metal by use of quicksilver, and it is believed by those who have critically examined
 and tested the ground that when th'
 hydraulic giants are brought to bea
 upon it, the yield will astonish tn the world.-Prospector.

The "Correo de Ia Tarde," of Mazat- Ian, publishes the following, viz: "The exploring commission ordered from Hermosillo by the governor oi that state has returned and rendered the following information. Fourteen miles to the south east of Bavispe, there is an active volcano in the mountains of the Sierra Madre. The crater is enveloped in columns of dense n,eKe and fame, and the lava falls in sucA2~ such abundanss-ttbat we were not permitted to approach within four miles. The hot water also thrown out of the crater, is dispersed in In- mense quantities, bathing the plains and has completely destroyed all the vegetation of the valley. The lava is rapidly filling the canyon and the small undulations of ground. The noise IS the same as that made by a number Of, steam engines. In consequence the lands near the volcano are found in the poorest possible state and II complete ruin. Grass, vegetation anc every thing has disappeared. The devastation is complete and nothing can be expected to improve these lands"

The Fortuna Mine Sold.


 This property, that has attraeted 50 much attention for several months past on account of the very rich orc rou1ld tnereln, WIS transIerred Isst Wednesday to Ado1ph Fasquez, Of the blacksmith firm of Drosco < 4as4t1 of tlis this city. Tue ore is of almost incredible richness, ranging from $250 to nearly $6 per pound in mill-run lots. We yesterday published a series of such runs as reported to Vim. E. Me Nulty & Co.,, the grocers, who shipped several lots for their customers to San Francisco. Treasurer J. Y. T. Smith has also marketed several lots from the same mine, one shipment of about $50 pounds returning over $500.
 The mine was located on the 26th of April last, about 4 } miles southeast of the lower Walnut Grove dam, on the Hassay ampa. Preciliano Ruiz ac- quired control of the full title and transferred the same to MT. Vasquez. The deeds were sent to Prescott for record and then the transfer was made public.
 A man named Soto brought in this week some 300 pounds of ore from 8 depth of 60 feet on the lode, which ap- pears to be just as rich as any taken out above.
 MT. Vasquez intends to visit his new acquisition next Monday and will pro ceed to develop it in 8 systematic man. ner All indications point to large fortune for the lucky purchaser.- Phenix Herald.

Ou1 Tucson correspondent very openly charges the settlement ot ex- Receiver Pred. W. Smiths land office affairs with unfair manipulation and 8 further shortage which he is unable to make good. For time the public was lulled into a sense of security by the assurance that the money was on hand to meet every de- mand of depositors, but the out look at this time is ominousi to say the least. Major Smith has disappeared and it is given out that he has gone to 'rustle" the funds which it was previously said were at hand to meet his obligations. This affords sui ficient grounds for the gravest appre hension that many confding settler' will be compelled to lose the none! they entrusted to a bonded fnancia officer of the government. Ther ought to be some process of law tha personal or political influence canno thwart to reach the class ofhigh tone' thieves to which he evidently belongs and to restore to the honest toiler that which has been wrongfully filche from them.

In September timothy seed is sown, and in March liberal sup ply of clover, which by August is in the height of its glory Then the sheep are turned in.
 Southern Planter says: It may not be generally known that dry ashes applied just after rain, or in the morning while the dew is on, will kill chinch bugs. He has used it on both corn and sorghum with perfect success, and has not the least doubt that sown broadcast on wheat it would be equally effective. Wheat sown with raw bone is not apt to be at- tackled by the bug.

Sonora Coal Fields.

Santiago Ainsa returned from the city of Mexico yesterday, where he went in the interest of an English company to secure a franchise from the government for railroad from Guaymas to the anthracite regions in Sonora. He secured the franchise and the result will be the immediate exploration of these coal fields and the road, which will be seventy miles in length. The anthracite regions con tain over 100000 acres, and when they are opened to the Pacific coast it will cause 6 revolution in the coal trade, as the supply is simply mex haustible and the quality unexcelled.
 It is the intention of the company to supply the entire coast trade.
 The English company which has undertaken this enterprise is organized under the name of the Mexican Exploration Company, Qimited), with a capital of $2,500,000. Iron for the road will be shipped direct from Eng land and it is expected that the work of construction will be we'll under way during the next six months. As these coal fields are within 250 miles of Tue son their development becomes mat ter of interest to our people.-Tucsor

YUMA TO SAN DIEGO.
The Probability of the New Road Being
 Built Likely One.

The new line of road which has been talked about on paper for so many months is taking shape. The road when completed will bear an import ant part in the future growth of Ari- zona. The Yuma Sentinel of Satur- day last, in speaking of the proposed road says:
 A party of engineers and others were to arrive in Yuma last Thurs day morning from San Diego, on the way to make a preliminary examin- ation and survey of the country lying between this place and the Cocopah range of mountains on the west. Fms range heads at about the boundary line separating California from Lower California, and extends south to the gulf, it being therefore necessary 70 cross it in the construction of any Int of railroad from San Diego to fl1na on Mexican territory.

Tombstone's Opinion.
Tombstone Epitaph.I

And now Governor Wolfey and his Commissioner of Immigration are emitting a streak of brilliancy that causes the phosphorescent gleam sent forth by dead codfish to "pale it's intellectual fires" and makes light ming bug ashamed of itself. The idea has entered their gigantic and roomy craniums that it would be master stroke of political diplomacy to issue the governors annual report as a document to induce immigration, and the idea caused such a delightful titil- lation to diffuse itself through their gray matter, that the project is being put into execution, and many poor devil will, some day, when he opens wrapper, lament the day that he was born. The year has been noted for it's many calam,ties, but an all-wise Providence should have spared us this last affliction.

 "At the Centennial, which is only few miles over the border of our coun- ty, things assumed more lively as pect. The Bonanza mine, which was sold lately by Stein, Sullivan and Whatton, is now down about 15O feet, showing an 8 foot ledge as rich as ever. The mill, 10-stamps, is at Harrisburg and kept steadily at work day and night; it is under the charge of Thomas Cochrane, who seems to thoroughly understand the handling of the precious metals. The ore IS haul ed by teams about 8 miles, eighteen small teams being employed. The weighing and commissary is attended to by MT. Agard, while MT. Davis attends to the assaying, etc. and l

ARIZONA has good reason for being

ARIZONA has good reason for being proud of its public schools. Through out the entire territory there is scarce ly neighborhood of dozen families
 that is not provided with a public | school. A liberal tax is levied for their support and the funds are guard
 ed by a care as jealous as the most
 sacred trust. There is spontaneous
 feeling of friendly rivalry throughout
 the territory among the various dis tricts to excel in educational facilities,
 and many of the more populous towns are provided with schools of unusual excellence. During the past few years J tLe public schools of Florence have
 advanced rapidly and they would dc
 credit to town of several times Its size. The teachers are paid hbera
 salaries and are selected for their spec - ial qualifications, and the most ap VI proved and advanced apparatus is em p' ployed. The result is shown in tn
 rapid advancement of the pupils to 'O plane of intelligence that fits them fo " every ordinary avocation in life. : CD firm but gentle discipline is strictl 0 v, maintained and the pupils are give - such encouragement that they regar ''" detention from school for even sing ~. ,. day as a hardship. In this respe' ., .n' Arizona leads many of the older stat ny and territories, and it is thereby la 'o ing the solid foundation for its futu A1 greatness and prosperity in most e frightened way.

How CalifOrnians Cinch the Cattle Men 1 Stock to be Driven Across the Desert-Other Newsy News.
(Kingman Miner.)

(Kingman Miner.)
 Thos Halleck shipped, some time since, two carloads of cattle to Los Angeles, and he wishes the stockmen of this county to know how he was treat ed by the butchers and stockyard man. agement at that place. His contract | was for q cents delivered, and he was paid 1a cents. His 1,2OO pound steers shrunk on the stockyard scales to o5O, and his 53 fine beef steers netted him $450. He was detained by one excuse and another for eight days before he finally paid tor his cattle. The kind of treatment accorded MT. Halleck will not inure to the benefit of the Los Angeles cattle dealers, and our cattle
 men are given a warning as to the
 treatment they may expect at the
