To Dealers in Whisky and Tobacco.

Bige- low, Assessor of Internal Revenue for the Dis trict of Arizona;

 The person having liquor in his possession over the amount specified, is expected and required to make return Of the same 10 the collector without being notified or called on by that officer or his deputies, and as gnagers have been appointed for Arizona, and are on ly awaiting the arrival of the necessary tools, 10 commence operations. it Is, of course, Ad- yisable for all who have not made return of liquor on hand. t0 Levi Bashford, Collector Of Arizona, to do SO a, once, Co avoid liability to seizure

THINGS AT LA PAz.--Henry A. Bigelow has received a letter from La Paz, Yuma county, of date January sth, which states that at the annual settlement with the Board of Supervisors, the County Collector was found to be delinquent. The Board threat sned to sue him and be resigned, when Jas. Dana was appointed Sheriff and Collector in hi. place. The Board also appointed T. J. BidweIi Justice of the Peace for the precinct of La Paz. Another letter states that suit has been commenced gainst the Collector, and that the amount of his dedication is $1,500. Until we become satisfied of the truth of this news, we will not give the name of the alleged defaulter, for he has hereto fore borne good character for honesty.

RoAus TO TIE CoLoaApo We feel duly grateful tor tue boon of having two such good roads as the Prescott and Ia Paz, and the Prescott and Mohaye, connecting us with our only nayigRble river-.the Colorado, but that is no reason why our people should rest satisfied and not try Co find shorter and bet ter route than either of the ones mentioned. We learn that Dr. W. W. Jones and W. A. Werninger, two of the heaviest ffeighters be- tween Prescott and the Colorado river, have spent considerable time and money m short ening and improving the old Prescott and La Paz road Other freghters have also aided in the good work. It is time that the peo- ple of this county should assist in this mat Ger. lt is asserted that, by making nearly direct road from Prescott Co the mouth Of Williams Fork, teams could make the round trip in six OF seven days less time than ii now takes them, and then, most assurcdly, team sters would lower their rates, and VIC of tbe interior would De enabled to purchase the nee. essaries of lie for good deal lcss than we aew tay fag them. The people of Prescott and vicinity can and must make . road across the range. to Skull Valley, and the sooner it i. made the better will it be for every man, woman and cbild in this part of Iavapai county. lt needs no argument Co prove that money spent for such purpose will be rc- turned Co as ten-i0ld.

THs PMAs.--Col. K. S. Woolsey, informed us, while here recently, that the Pima Indi- ans have buried the hatehet they so recently fourished at Gen. Alexander. But for the precau,ion used by Gen. Alexander and com mand, and the influence of Mr. Jas. M Bar ney, of the firm of Hinton, Hooper Co.,, we might now have the Pimas, as well as the Apaehes, at our throais. The Pimas, we think, deserved threshiny and would have received it, had not Gen. Alexander thought prudence and discretion dictated another course. Let US, if possible, keep on good terms with the 'friendlics."

TROUBLE AT Tucsos.--A private letter re- ceived by citizen of Prescott from friend at Tucson, states that citizen f Tucson had refused to pay taxes on his propersy to the Collector, the Collector levied upon the property and was about to sell it, when a writ of injunction was served upon him re- stFainiHg hin, ffe... doing %, ea sise ground, we suppose, that as no Territorial Govern ment exists in the Territory, no person has q right to style himself Collector and attempt to force people to pay taxes.

The circum- stances of the case appeared in the MINER some months ago, but it may be we'll enough to state that the crime for which she is under sentence Of death is the murder of her hus- band.

Cotton Gff0.
,TTyO SEA ISLAND COTTON PLANTERS

The small yield Of Sea ISLAND Cotton peculiar
to that variety, and yearly essened by increased
ravages Of worms,l Is not nearly compensated by
the greater value OF its long staple, and change
OF Seed Is imperatively neutrality-suspicious.
having fully proven that the earlier maturity OF
other kinds greatly lessons the danger from
worms. The question, then, is: The proper varie-
ties to adopt; and this Is q problem easier solved
than formerly, when little attention was paid to
this subject in the cultivation Of Cotton by the
great majority OF Southern Planters. The sub
scribers have recently witnessed with pleasure
the increased interest in improved varieties ex-
hibited by the numerous responses (nearly 100 in
number) to their letters inquiring of Planters
about the characteristics Of oil the known varie-
ties OF Cotton, and the effects OF change OF cli-
mate and soil on different kinds. The established
facts We have thus collected VIC are prepared TO
apply to different soils and climates; and to any
Planter Tor association OF Plantersl who will ad-
dress us, describing the characteristics Of their
localities, we will freely give the fruits OF our
knowledge. Our different correspondents have
given us the control Of every variety OF Seeds We
have heard Of. Our list comprises as many as
twenty distinct varieties, and our specimen room
OF stalks, limbs bolls and lint, that have been
sent to us, Is a marvel OF its kind. We are now
prepared to fill orders (after few days notice.
for petit GULF" "DICKSoN'S" Monterey"
"Peecr's,n "Boyd's Prolific" "Vick's 100" Goo
scy's," and "4 Bale;" and, with q few days addl-
tonal notice, we can promise to procure almost
any other denomination that may be ordered.
The facility with which bogus varieties may be
palmed off on purchasers, induces us to say that
we are old merchants OF New Orleans, and refer
confidently to all the old merchants OF this city.
Liberal discounts will be made on large purchases.

FIRB.-At halt-past 10 o'clock, last night, the
alarm of fire was sounded, and the few persons
who were on East Bay at that hour fastened to
the spot designated, alc found the flames Issuing
from the wholesale grocery store of Messrs. H.
Klatte Co. AS nearly as could be ascertained, the
fire originated in the counting room, in the rear
of the store, and facing Lodge alley. At first,
there was only glimmer Of light, but the dense
volumes of smoke that soon poured through every
aperture told of the fearful confagration within.
Fully half hour elapsed before the engines were
on the ground the alarm not being given E;ompt-
ly by the steeplemen. Once on the spot, the fire.
men battled with the destructive element nobly.
AS soon as an entrance was effected, the flames
leaped forth, driving the spectators across the
street, and even compelling the nremen to keep
at respectful distance. In short time, the en-
tire building was in flames, and the smoke stream
ing from the windows Of Mr.. John N. NJ Wohlt-
mans wholesale grocery next door showed that
the fire was gaining ground. The 1remen worked
with desperate energy, but were unable to
save the stores OF Messrs. Klatte and Wohlt-
man, the names having too much headway,
and the infammabe nature of a part OF the
stock rendering their efforts comparatively futile
The Marion Cofreehouse, kept by Mr. Metz on
the south side OF Lodge alley, also caught, and
the upper portion Of the building was burnt; the
stock and fixtures were also materially injured,
though the furniture was saved. The fremen
succeeded in confning the flames to thsec three
buildings but for some time the large establish
ment of Mr.. B. O'Nein was in great danger, and
portion of the stock was removed. The stores Of
Mr.. Wolhtmann and Klatte 4 Co. were In build
ing owned by Mr.. Poincglon, who was insured In
the London, Liverpool and Globe Companies, c. T.
Lowndes agent. Klatte &Co. Is stock was insured in
the same company, in COlburn & HOwell's agencies
and the German Mutual, General John A. Wage
ner, agent. Mr.. Wohltman was insured In New
York companies, with no agents in this city. Tho
Marion Cofreehouse building was owned by Mrs.
Marjenhofr, and occupied by Mr. c. Metz, both OF
whom were insured in the German Mutual.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but Is bellved
to be purely accidental. Messrs. Klatte & Co. had
Just received heavy stock, and 1t was stated
that there were over two hundred barrels of
whiskey in the store at the time OF the fire. A
portion OF Mr. Wohltman's stock was saved,
though in q damaged condition. The sympa-
thies of the entire community are with the ener-
getic young merchants who have been the vic
tins Of this serious disaster.
