 Prescott, Arizond.-The chief town of Cen tral Arizona, situated in Yavapai district, in fertile valley at the foot of the Prieta range of mountains. The adjacent country is fer tile, well watered, and covered with a uxu- riant growth of timber. Good mines of gold and silver have been discovered in the noun tains of the district. The growth of the town has in the past been slow, on account of its distance from other settlements. but it's great natural advantages will undoubtedly make it, as the country is settled, one of the most prosperous towns in the Southern Pac- fic States.
 Prescott is also the county seat of Yavapai county, which IS, we believe, the largest and richest county in the United States. Dis tance from other settlements has, no doubt, retarded the growth and development of town and county, but what has kept us back most is the fiendish war that has been waged upon us by brutal, relentless race of savage h. dians, ever since the first settlement here of whites.

The statement that the fraudulent " draw.

were passed at the Office Of the Fifth Auditor
of the Treasury is calculated to convey an En-
roEeous impression. These claims are sub.
united, with the evidence on which each is
based, 10 the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
snue, who decides upon them, and whose award
is final. The law provides that the amount of
drawback TAX thus found due and awarded by
the Commissioner shall be paid BY a warrant
