The valladarss Placers.

The auriferous deposits southwest of the San Pedro Martin sierra, known as tre Valladares placers. are to be extensively developed, and Mr. Chas. Bennett is interested in the enter prise. This is MT. Bennett's first venture in mining on the peninsula, but he has entered into it very much in earnest, and on Thursday six of his heavy wagons of four and six horses each left for the south with mining implements and provisions.
 The claims are known as the Excel siOr. Fl Dorado, La Luz and Santa Cruz, comprise twenty-five pertenen- cias of ground, aud are the property of Mr C J. Young of San Quintin and Mrs. B. Q Butterdeld They in- clude tue famous Gopher Hill, where many rich pockets have been opened, and it is at the base of this hill, along the Nalladares creek, that they pro- pose to commence operations.
 Itwill be first necessary to build a road from Camald, on the coast, to the mines After the road is com pleted large steam pump will be put in position. This pump will answer the double purpose of draining the creek bed, enabling them to handle the pay gravel which lays on the bed rock. and at the same time supply the water for sluicing.
 The Valladares placers are known to be rich, and have been mined at in tergals for tue past thirty years. Though many attempts have been made lO work the creek bed the water has interfered to such an extent as to render the primitive methods em- ployed futile.

Big Cattle shipments Expected.

"Plttockn writing from Wilcox to the Arizona Republican says: This year will break the record cattle ship ping at this point, if present indica- tions count for anythin1 The stock yards with d capacity of 1000 head, will be taxed to accommodate the vast array of cattle that will be driven here to be placed on cars for trans portation to eastern markets Year. lings range from SIS to S22 according to grade, while three-year-0lds will command from s25 to BPS. Some are holding for S3O. There are some here who figure the aggregate shipments of cattle this year as high as 6O,OOO head, others are willing to go less than 50,O0O Tue county will make big showing, though the number or cattle going out may not be credited wholly to COchise, for the reason that certain shippers have threatened to move their stock to DemiDg in order to save part of the rate in sending forward over the Santa Fe from that point. However compromise may be effected and cattle that are eXpec- ted to be driven from the eastern ex- tremity of the county are likely to be loaded at Bowie or at Stein's Pass. Buyers have been in the field and closed contracts for late spring deliy- cry, while others are expected daily. Activity will be noted after April l5, and this place will be a scene of un- usual hustle thereafter for two months or more.

by population whose loyalty TO the flag

suit he will join with the Southern peo
pie in celebrating, and that deep nation
al sentiment will find further expression
in the heartiness of the reception of th,
