A. c. Heslng is operating in min ing in Sonora for Chicago com pany, and the Citizen lets him tell his experience in getting his mach lnery through the port of Guaymas;
 The custom laws are very rigid, and they are now enforced very strictly. The duty on some articles is very extravagant, amounting al most to confscation and he who believes that mining machinery and tools may be imported free of duty will find himself surely deceived By oversight good many of my goods had been invoiced wrongly Some goods should have been in voiced by weight that were not; others were liable to three fold duty because classed with other articles. Through the kind intervention of Consul Willard and Mir. Barting, l got off comparatively easy, and had to pay double duty only on lot of hardware which had been billed as machinery, but is looked upon he-e as merchandise, notwithstanding it is intended for use in mining mach inery.

Dent orPima County

The debt of this county is S44,079,- IT,, and the Citizen says the payments are behind just two years, or from August IA, 1877. The assessment roll for this year has not yet been footed up, but it is estimated at S1, s00,O00, upon which the law allows a levy of S2, ,25 per hundred, or $4o,- 500. This amount would be far above the estimated expenses of the county for the coming year, and it is not likely that the limit of the levy will be touched in making the assessment, as it would make pretty high rate when city and county taxes are taken together Still the county pays so much the higher for all it's purchases, as every dollar is added to it's debt People who have to wait for years for their pay with but ten per cent interest, will have higher prices than when they get cash. It will be well, therefore to get as much to the credit , of the sinking fund each year, as possible.

nrn.ehn,, to ciHett.

The Miner is informed that Joseph Fares of Bradshaw proposes to build according to the terms of the late law, practicable wagon road from Bradshaw city to Gillett for the sum of S15,0O0, and give a good bond for the faithful fulfilment of his contract. He proposes to lay off the road into five sections, and upon the completion of each section the Commissioners are to pay seventy y-tive per cent of the amount he is to re- ceive for each section, reserving twenty-five per cent until the next section is completed and so on until the route is opened direct to the town of Gillett to the City of Brad shaw. This strikes us a good offer for the commissioners, inasmuch as the gentlemen is ready to give a good bond for the faithful perform ance of the work The road from Peek to Bradshaw is soon to be open ed and if the commissioners of the road to Gillett bestir themselves, we will soon have a practicable highway from the town of Prescott to Gilctt via the most important mining camps in the county, and from 9 to 30 miles nearer than by any other route.

origin of the Name Arizona.

We prefer Col. Hodges version of the name Arizona" viz: Beautiful Maiden" but give the following from the Argondm for the benefit of those of more materialistic views;
 The naming of Arizona is easily traced. The early missionaries, iu exploring the country north of Sonora, b7 way of the Gulf of Lower California and Colorado River from Mexico, arrived at a part where they encountered many Indians, who were remarkable for having very large and fiattened noses, and the soldiers form ing the escort called that part of the country Narizona, or Big Noses Since then the name Narizona has been abridged somewhat by dropping the N, and we have Arizona-becom- ing every day more known by reason of its reputed great mineral wealth. Some writer has giver the origin of the word as being derived from ''arid zone,'' but the above is the true Ori- gin-Narizona, Big Nose, less tho letter N, leaving it ArIzona.

Since the or lganization of the Ter ritory, in 1868, to the present time, the Miner says: the prospects of Ari zona have never looked half as bright, as they do now The Territory is fast being spanned by the iron rail, the telegraph communication is complete east and west, immigration of the right kind is filling our rich agricul-
 tural valleys and taking possession of the mountai $ filled with minerals, stock raisers are in possession ot many of the desirable rangesiand are doing well, raising cattle, horses and sheep.

wal,apai Eraiazs-

It is not generally known that there exists in the northern part of Aiizona GOO Indians who subsist entirely on what they can pick up in the way of acorns, berries, nuts, grass and little wild game. Still such is the case. The Wallapai Indians, includ- ing a small band of some 150 Ava-Su- Pais, if anything exceed 1000 in number, and for several years have lived without aid from the Govern ment. preferriug to suffer almost any thing. even starvation, rather than give up their country in the North and 90 on to the reservation at San Carlos. This season has, nufortun- ately, been a hard one for our red brethren. Rains has not visited them as usual the grass has to grow consequently no seed from the grass The oak bushes have failed to give their usual supply of acorns. The mescal has dried up and of 100 springs not over twenty afford water thus the poor wretches are compelled to gather into larger bands than is usual with them and their suffering for want of food has been great. They have cleared about seventy acres of land, and put in quite crop of corn and potatoes Twenty one of the Flutes who were taken to Sincoe last winter have died, and there are quite number of others on the sick list, many of whom are not expected to live Those of the tribe who were taken 10 Vancouver as prisoners of war are not heard from, and they do not know what is going to be done with them.

Centfpedes.

Some attention given in Tucson to the life and habits of seven-inch centipede, says the Citizen, left the impression upon the observer that that agreeable insect is slightly mis
 understood by the public. He has not hundred legs but just forty sma lest legs are next to the head, and the largest, each an inch and half long, are intimately connected with the tailor might be, had he q tail at all. Each leg terminates in sharp claw, and when the ami nal is startled ol an attempt made to shake him of, he will, no doubt, pinch hard enough to wound the flesh of man, after the manner of a cats scratch But he does not seem to purpose any damage to the object to which he clings, and it is doubtful whether such injuries would have any serious effect He has a terrible large pair of pincers attached to his head, winch he uses when he is an gry, and the specimen observed this morning needed to make but one dive. with those warlike instruments, to lay a large tarantula on his back quivering in death. We have always heard that the centipede bit with his legs, but it is certain that he possesses
