ARIZONA FEvER.-This epidemic has
broken out In Phoebe, and almost
every day or two parties Of three or
four start out for the Sacramento Dis
trict, situated about thirty miles south
Of the Colorado river, in Arizona.
Many reports are current here regard
ing the richness of the lodges In tho
district, and hence the desire Of many
to be the first to get the best chances.
Old Arizonians, who have "been
there" show no desire to 20 again;
but on the contrary, advise those leav-
Ing to stay where they are until the
country has been opened up more.
All the parties leaving here are we'll
prepared for anything In the shape Of
.onpleasantness" with the Indians,
which Is expected. at most any time,
and Henry rifles, sixshooters and
knives constitute the principal part OF
the outfit.

week past a fire has been raging In the
mountain range to the north Of town
(said By, many tobe q spur Of the Schell
Creek range which must have devas-
tated much valuable grazing and tim
Der land. The origin of the fire Is I'M
known, but It 10 supposed to have been
started by the Indians. Another fire
has been burning for the past few days
in the range south of Meadow Valley,
but we were unable to learn the origin

range were some valuable grazing
lands, where a large herd of animals
| were constantly kept on pasture, and

not we have been unable to learn.
