l BoArp OF guPEKvrsoRs.-The Board met this morning. and fixed the rate of taxation l in the County at s 90 on the hundred dol l lars, and thirty five cents extra on one hun
 tired dollars in School District No. 1. It
 was their intention to have made the rate
 a1S cents on the dollar, but upon examining into the law, they found that the jurisdic-
 ton was beyond their power, and the only 1 thing left them was to carry oct the letter of the law placing the rate as above stated Owing to the small amount allowed the
 Sheriff for assessing the tounty, they con cluded to allow him, as collector, per cent, which will partially make up for the loss sustained in assessing, 1t having cost we'll on to $5,000. N B. Bowers of Agua Fria, was appointed Registering officer for that precinct.
 ToSs OF BUGs.-Harry Edwards, the San Francisco Entomologist, has shipped his cabiaet of Pacific Coast bugs, butter flies, etc, to Boston, where his headquarters will be hereafter.
 The collection is packed in 1,035 boxes, which are enclosed in 36 outside cases, the whole measuring ten tons, ships freight.
 This is doubtless one of the finest and most extensive Chronological collections in the world, and is valued at $20,000. Mir. Edwards has been fifteen years in making it, assisted by friends in every Pacific Coast State and Territory, as well as the adjacent islands and Mexico. Arizona is quite we'll represented by collections made by W. J. Howard, Esq, of Prescott, and other gen. tlemen of scientific atfainments in other portions of the Territory.
 RICH DISCOVERY IN YAvApAI.-A recen letter from Mazatzal Camp in this County near the line of Maricopa, written by Bob. weyms, says, send you some specimens [not yet receivedl from this camp. Persons Tn Prescott have no idea of such mine as this being in Yavapai County. For size ana richness it has no equal. The fact is that for three quarters of mile one can pick up float, assaying from $194 to $500. The main ledge at depth of six feet is three feet wide, there is no chin music about this, let the incredulous come and see for themselves and if they don't go home astonished at this mountain of silver am no judge. A ledge of 5000 ore inches thick makes fellow think of homestakp Messrs. Rouse & House, are the fortunate owners. The Mormon settlement is within six miles of the camp. The road starts in from Mud Tanks. on the Apache road, and very little repair will put it in good shape.

ANOTHER OLD ARIZONA PIONEER
 GONE.

News has reached us of the death, at the Grand Hotel in San Francisco, on the 2Sth ult., of Col. Chas. c. Mason, one of Ari- zona's oldest, most useful and honered citizens. Col. Mason came to Arizona from California in 1863, and has ever since con- tinued to reside with us and take an inter- est in the welfare of the Territory second to none, until very recently, when he came into possession of handsome wealth, hav- ing sold half interest in the celebrated King mine, in Pinal county, to Col. James M. Barney for $300,000, when he removed and took up residence among the orange and lemon groves of Los Angeles. There is not hill or ravine for miles around the village of Prescott but what has known his presence, for during the years of 1863 and 1864 they were his home, affording him shelter, and the gold from the ravines fur nishing him the needful wherewith to pur- chase food.
 Colonel Mason, about ten years since, took up his residence near the beautiful town of Florence, on the Gila, where he re- deemed from thorny, bushy state 160 acres of land and made it a pronuctive, home. It was while residing here that he made the trip with Jack Long and B. F. Reagan to the Picket Post mountains and found the wonderful King mine, which finally made him independent in a worldly point of view, the sweets of which he only liAed to taste but short time. Mir. Mason at the time of his death was about 60 years oftage, but appeared much younger, proba- bly, on account of his great. robust form, and from the fact that he never had abused the constitution nature had given him. His many ''old timcn friends will be pained to hear of the death of Charley.

AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION The vanguard of the Austrian army of occupation entered Bosnia and Herzegovina yesterday; as the Emperor's proclamation says, " to stop evils which have for many years disturbed those provinces. and to bring them peace" The people of the two provinces will take down as much of this as they please; but what will better reconcile them to their situation for the present is the assurance of Austria that the "arrears of taxes " duo to Turkey for year or two twill not be collected D There IS something substantial in that. he Turkish taxes were enormous, and these arrears would be extremely hard to pay. As to the promises to "protect all and op- press none" and .srespect established insti- tutions," that is certain to be broken before the occupation is year old. The army of occupation numbers 10000 of all arms.

 TRouBLEsoMg Cows.-Predatory cows are making havoc with the private property of citizens in town, some of them are experts at throwing down fences, tearing of pail ings etc, and once inside they make short work of plants, shrubs and young trees. The strangess part of it is that the Village Council has no ordinance against their do- ing as they please.

AUSTRIA DISCOURAGED AT THE PROSPECT.
VIENNA, September ga dispatch says
the approach Of bad weather which has set
In in various quarters, and the fact that
large organized bodies Of insurgents are re-
tiring towards Novi Bazaar, cause the Aus
trians grave apprehensions. Many Of the
insurgents now. in the Novi Bazaar district
have served in the Ottoman regular army,
and are known to have q formidable artil.
lery, and the question arises whether Il
will be safe to withdraw any considerable
number oftroops from the province long
as Novi Bazaar Is occupied by an imposing
hostile force. On the other hand bad
weather has overtaken the army of occu-
patton ere the work Of pacifcation can be
considered as commenced. The insurrec-
ton has been subjugated, but very diff
cult portion OF the Austrian task yet re-
mains to be accomplished. The material
obstacles in the way OF provisioning large
army during the wiuter preclude the pos.
sibility OF maintaining more than limited
number Of men in the sphere Of occupa-
ton. Itis!the opinion Of competent au-
thorities that It will require strong force
to bar the passage from Noyi Bazari where
the insurgents are rallying In view OF the
winter campaign.
