MAJOR R. P. EATON. Special Mail Agent and MT. Griffith, Of the Stage Line, left to-day for Florence. Major Eaton has been inspecting the mall routes and post offices in this section, and the proposed fast time between Yuma and Tucson Is probably one of the good effect, of his visit. Messrs. Griffith and Eaton visited the Tombstone District last week and re- turned with good reports, of course. Major Eaton will remain in Florence only one day, unless mail matters there should ne .cessitate a longer stay. Some little diff cultes in the route from Florence to Pick ct Post and Silver King have been proper ly represented to the Major and he says the remedy is easy and shall be immedi- ately applied. This will be good news for the people Of Pior eer District. From Florence Major Eaton will go to Phenix and Prescott and may return by way of Tucson. He is a congenial gentleman and a shrewd business man and will leave many pleasant acquaintances in Arizona.

 THERE was a brisk little fire yesterday afternoon in and about the stables on the premises Of Mir. l.. c. Hughes. The flames were first seen rolling out over Church street from a stack Of hay on the roof Of the stable, by Rev. J. E. Anderson, who ran into the corral and did what he could in saving poultry and grain; but the most valuable property there, two mules be- longing 10 Rev. MT. Bailey, were so situ- ated that t was impossible to get at them, and they were burned. There was free way for them to get out, but they went right into the hottest Of the fire, and stood there until they were roasted.
