FIREs.-Since yesterday evening
fire has been running through the
woods in the southern part of the
town, some four or five miles distant
from the village. The flames could
be seen from here plainly during the
night To day we learn of the fire
extending into the town of EIlsnboro
and that the Platte bottoms are
burning over. Fears are entertained
that the wind, now from the south,
may carry the work of destruction
into this village.

About Headquarters.

We are getting uneasy about headquarters. That bluff, able soldier, General ". I. Sher- man, selected Prescott for headquarters of the Department os Arizona. General Stone man has said that the selection was the best that could possibly be made, yet headquar ters are not here, and ramor says they will never come here. Now, why is this thus What have the people of Central Arizona done, that they must be cheated out of everything in the shape of Government aid ! Tucson has the capital, U. s. Depository, a military depot, tri-weekly mail service, etc, while Prescott has nothing worth mention ing. Now, we do not pretend to deny that the establishment of headquarters here would be great benefit to us, the Territory and the country, and as General Sherman once placed it here, ve beg him to order it back, or break up the Department and att tAch us to the Department of New Mexico, or California. As well have the troops here commanded from San Fryncisco or Santa Fe, as from Wilmington, or any other point out side of the Territory, and then, the cost would be less. See to this matter, good Gen eral Sherman, and oblige people who have done about everything that has been done to set the Territory upon her pins, and place her in position to get along without militia " aid from Government, If the Govern meat has money to throw away upon build ings at Drum Barracks, California, and to build new and useless posts, it certainly ought to be able to erect or rent few build ings here, in the heart of the Indian coun- try, for headquarters.

About to be Realized.

It affords the MINER sincere pleasure to know tlrst the old, fond hopes Of the Spar tan citizens of Arizona, are about to be req htcd, and that, ere long, all their early dreams of prosperity, peace and advancement, will come true. It is now settled fact that two railroads will be bUiit and pass through the Territory before five years shali have ended,--when, of course, we will be in easy reach of every portion of the country. Tel graphs will follcw--it they do not precede- the railroads, enabling us to converse with our fellow mortals all over the civilized world. This will, indeed, be great rev olution, in our favor, and one which, by that time, we shall have thrice earned.
 Already, the news of these approaching changes for the advancement and glory of Arizona has penetrated the remotest corners f North America, and thousands of people are now thinking of coming here, to secure the good things with which our Territory abounds. Yes, people who never would have dreamed of coming here, so long a the pros pect for crushing the Indians, and developing the resources of the Territory remained as distant as they have been during the past ten years, will come now, take advantage of our early discoveries, and, no doubt, crowd many of us to the wall. We'll, let them come. They shall be welcomed, even should they, as has always been the case, bring ideas 'su- perioT to ours see sources of wealth where we have failed to discover any, and have a more grasping love for nickles than we have had for eagles. The old citizens of the Ter ritory have stood guard long enough; have brayed dangers and hsrdships unknown to other citizens of the Republic; have made discoveries of mines ot unequalled richness; have proved that the Territory is capable of producing sufficient food to feed all who may come here, and all now here. anxiously wait ing for more company.

 Mohnpea County

started Co the east of us, in the Duro mines.
 Mohnves County.
 A reliable gentleman, who is thouroughly conversant with mining matters in this conn ty, has furnished us with the following. which goes to show that "the cat (not wild one) is jumping rightly down there:"
 While Bradshaw is in eyeryboly's mouth, and every one of our citizens arc full of faith and expectancy, of the early dawn, in Yava- pal county, of such days as hurried the des- ert Territory of Nevada into n thrifty and prosperous State, it is additionally fortifyng to hear that Mohavc county is looking up. Some months ago, some of the business men of Mohsve and llartfyvile took it in hand to try and do something to "bring out" the long dormant Sacramento district, and, accord ingly, sent out men to work on some of the most promising leads; and, olso, reorganzed the district, calling it the WalIapi." Ore was sent to San Francisco, and working test by Thos Selby < Co.,, gave the Aattering result of S25 to S5S per ton. This, from ore taken as general average from the whole width of the veins.
 Some onterprising miners have undertaken to erect n smelting furnace, and have already bought an engine and boiler for the purpose of running a blower As the district is we'll supplied with wood and water, and the ores are not at all refractory, smelting should be at least as successfully carried on as it is in White Pine, Cerro Gorda, and other points where great success has been met with. Be- ing only 2i miles from the Colorado river, with which it is connected by most excel lent road, the bullion can be taken from the mines 10 the steamer for from fifteen to twcn- ty dollars per ton, and landed at San Fran cisco for not more than Si0 per ton. And, according to working results, said bullion win be worth from sl50 to S20o per ton, there. Negotiations arc pending for the sale of a series of good ledges-to an English compa- ny-which, if accomplished, will be speedily followed by large and extensive smelling works.
 Four very rich gold mines have lately been discovered; and, also, two or three that bear chloride ores of very high grade.

SHOULD PAss---Congress should pass law giving the people of the several Territories the right to elect their own Territorial off, eers. No honest man will deny this.

It should, however, aid Mir. Banning to extend his Wilmington and Los Angeles road to Owens River, Cali fornia.

Foster ia sending supplies from Fort Whipple to Camp Verde, as fast as possible. and Whipple, which should be the strongest post in the Territory, will soon be one horse concern, or, perhaps, hospital for sick sol diers from Camp Verde and elsewhere. Saturday last, we had the pleasure of an in troduction to Lieutenant Colonel Cuvicr Gro yer, ad Cavalry, who has gone to command Camp Verde, and must say that we were fa- vorably impressed with him. He commanded brigade in the war, and won splendid rep utation for gallantry. He has been in the regular service long time, and is, of course, gentleman. We expect good work from Colonel Grover. By the GyaHd Army Jour Hai, of q recent date, we see that several off. cers are on their way to the Pacific, with re- crui's. Sergeant George Hanse, of M troop, Sd Cavalry, is a soldier who never tires of doing duty. During the past six months. he b. captured and brought back to Fort Whipple, 5 deserters and l2 animals. He should be rewarded. Our thanks are due lst Lieutenant E. W. Stone, A. A. A. G., for copies Of recent orders issued by Colonel Stoneman.

Conduct of the Pimas and Maricopas.

Presumiug that the Maricopa and Pima Indians have m agent to look after their wei. fare, and, also, Co keep them straight, we wish to direct said agents attention to the letter published by us last week, from Phsc- nix which contained complaints of Indian wrongdoings, and murmurings of revenge, which q sensible Government ageut would do we'll to heed. No matter what these In- dians may have been in the past, and no mat ter what they may have done hs whites, they arc nov saocy, defiant trespassers, and, white people are net s,rh sucking doves as to stand their insults and deprcda,ions, much longer.
 In the hsguage of the letter alluded Co, lorbearance, on the part of the white peo- pie of Salt River and the Gila, has about ceased to be vrtue," and blood will be shed if these Pueslos do not mend their ways. As we bave before asserted, there are BOW too many whites within striking distance of the Indisn villages, to staHi any more non sense frosn the dwellers in sad villages. God knows, our people have enough to do to book after the Apaehcs, witboat having, also, ,rou- ble with the professediy friendly IDiAos, and VIC know they do not court trouble with the latter, and only ask that they shall be let alone.
