 (wilcox Stockman) News Years was celebrated in most happy manner at the nome, near Rockers Hot Springs, oi MT: ID. c. Wilson, of the Wilson Cattle Com pany.

Frank Poole, of the San Pedro, and Miss Dora Wilson, a daugh- ter of Mir. Wilson, ST. The nuptlal knots were tied by Rev. N. l..

The Stockman joins the other friends of MT. and Mrs. Wilson and MT. and Mrs. Poole in offering felicitaiions. and wishing them happiness unalloyed and abundant prosperity.
 MT. B. F. Brown, President of the Erie Cattle Company, arrived here Saturday night last from Kansas, ac- companied by brother who is resi- dent of that State. The steers which his company recently shipped from here to Kansas City nettsd about $lo.- 50 q head, and Mir. Brown Is confident that there will be a market in Kansas for all the feeders that Arizona cat tlemen have to sell at figures ranging from $2.5 to $2.65. His company will probably ship another train load early in February. MT. Brown and brother left for the Erie Company's range on Monday.
 G. w. Lang, who is driving herd of cattle purchased in Sonora to Cali 1 fornia, across the Colorado desert, ar rived at Yuma last week with the herd and crossed the Colorado river at that point. The Sentinel says there are 600 head of cattle in the drive. II Mir. Lang is successful with the drive, and reports fnvorably on the feasibility of trail from Arizona to California, It is safe to predict that hereafter the majority of the cattle that go from this Territory to that State will be driven and not shipped.
 During the month of December just passed, there were shipped from VII cox 3,169 cattle. Of this number 2,247 head went to Eastern market. l (principally to Kansas City,) and 921 head to California. This is pretty good showing for one months ship ments. These figures were kindly furnished by MT. Clay Patten, of the railroad office.
 MT. Palmer, a cattle buyer iron Kansas, arrived here Monday night He desires to purchase a good many feeders, and, we understand, prefer three-year-olds. On Wednesday h' went to the Arayaipa with Hon. Bur Dunlap, whose steers he will probabl, purchase as well as those of the E. eks Springs Company.
