MYERS DISTRICT.

There has been little dolng in this District during the present season, beyond prospecting. A company of Philadelphians own the principal mines here and from advises lately from Philadelphia, we learn that operations in this District will be pushed ahead soon. The mines on the Gun sight Mountain is the main silver Belt of Arizona, and there is no doubt that this mineral deposit owned by this company will be- come the best paying mining property in the Territory It is a fortunate thing that these valu- able mines are owned by men wh ose circumstances can afford them to easily work them. The situation and lay of the country will be always draw back 10 the poor man in that country. We learn that Mfr. B ivens who is operating with L. J. F.

TAXATION OF MINES SET.
 TILED.

The question of taxation of mines in Yuma county was set tied on Tuesday last by the Board of Equalization. Knowing full we'll the proposition to be wrong, unwarranted and illegal, the SEN. TINEL was the first to oppose it, showing at once it's inconsistent cies and the vagaries Of the few who so foolishly advocated it. It was a blow struck at the mining industries of Yuma county and to have maintained it. as law, 10 carry out this visionary proposi- tion of the District Attorney, would have culminated in a dis astrous result to Yuma county, at least. True to the motto of the SENTINEL, we fought it from first to last, and while doing this, the SENTINEL had an abiding faith in the intelligence of the Super visors with a full confluence that, they would view the matter legally and study it logically.
 We have not been disappointed and the mining interests of Yu' ma county can depend upon a just Board of Supervisors, who don't propose to be hoodwinked by tricks of trade. The recent action of the Supervisors in this matter must commend itself to the citizens of the whole Terri tory, and who must re'echo the sentiment, Faithful servants, welldone;;" we say this, because no other county attempted the assumption of such proposition.
 The "Free Press" first brought out this matter and took the posi-, tion that as long.as the law exist ed taxing mines, the miners must endure it, and attempted to carry with it the opinion of the District Attorney. We fought it. and our law! aud propositions triumphantIy won. If the " Free Press " man as an Attorney be- fore the Board turned summer set and used our editorials and thunder, he is welcome to it-but we have the. consolation to know that we succeeded in our purpose as Il e friend of the miner, with out fear, favor or pay, and brand. ed an unjust and improper inter- pretation of the law.
 In all such propositions the SEN TINEL will be the miners friend. Our Supervisors, Thurlow and Brinley are experienced mining men and gave this matter their careful attention. A popular sen- timent is a just tribute to their decision.

idea that, there would be soon a vacancy in the Governorship of Arizona. It has been surmised that Gov. Fremont's term of off. ce had expired by limitation, or that he would. resign. In either case the horde of office seekers and those who are willing to de- vote their private time for the benefit of a public service are doomed to remain a little longer in private life. It is equally amu- sing, too, to witness the struggle of the Arizona press in their en. deavors to foist upon the public the object of their loving ambi- tion, and while almost esch paper
 
 is trying to play the role of WARWICK. newspapers without patronage or political influence trucklingly desire to become the makers and unmakers of Cover, nors, disregarding the fitness of men for this position. Having an axe to grind, they suggest this one and that one. Pinal county prefers .Judge Anderson; Pima would like to honor Col. Howard and the |" Tombstone Nugget " espouses the cause and persisten- iy parades the name of one A. H. Stebbins of Tombstone to fill this distinguished position. Other papers have other preferences: but we saT<to you, gentlemen, let the aspirants present their pecu- liar fitness and credentials for position. Col. Howard and MT. -Stebbins are comparatively newcomers in the Territory. and modesty at least, should prompt them to DoFF their gubernatorial aspirations and take back seat. They may be intelligent enough, but really we believe they lack a familiarity with the affairs and wants ofthe Territory. We believe 1t proper that, if the admfnistra. tion sees fit to homer one of our citizens with this appointment, the honor should fall upon those of Our older residents and who have a solid interest in tue Ter ritory and not the political adven- turer who comes to-day and may stampede tomorrow. This mat ter of Governorship may be lit tie premature, but if We are to have one of our citizens, let it be one who has come here with his goods Eand house, hold gods to permanently make his home here and assisting in rearing up the interests of the Territory.

A MEXICAN DESPERADO KILLED, By the Sheriff and Under Sheriff of Yuma County.
FLOReNCIO SANCHEZ,
" BLANc0 FL0RES,"
The Murderer of Rafael Guiterez is Killed While Resisting
 Arrest.

The circumstance of the mu1- der of Rafael Gutierrez by this noted desperado, Blanco Flores, at Castle Dome, was published in the SENTINEL immediately on it's occurrence on the 18th. May, ut. The deed was known 10 be a cold blooded murder. Flores escaped. A reward was offered for his arrest by G. H. Hutchins, Supt. c. D. M. & s. Co. Until a few days ago he has eluded the pursuit of officers, when on Sun day last, information was given to Sheriff Tyner that, Blanco Flores was at Hall Hanlon's on the California side of the Colorado, about six miles below Yuma and in the employ of MI. Hanlon. Knowing this fact. Sheriff Tyner and Under Sheriff, Walter Millar, armed with a warrant of arrest on Monday evening last started on this side of the river. for the pur- pose of effecting the arrest.
 Arriving at Hanlon's ferry, the officers hailed the boat, which was ferried by Hanlon and Flores;" as the ferry boat land ed on the Arizona side, |" Flores" stepped from the boat with a rope is his hand. Sheriff Tyner approached him and told him he 
 had a warrant for his arrest and caught him by the arm. Flores broke loose from the officer and leaving a remnant of his shirt with Sheriff Tyner, and plunged into the river. The Sheriff called him to " "stop," but he needed it not and swan on. To intimidate him, Tyner fired over his head, telling him to stop. all of which Flores paid no attention to, Sheriff Tyner again fired and hit him above the hip. Although wounded he continued to swim down the river. Sheriff Tyner and Millar followed him with a boat quite distance, but he made for the shore and took to the brush. The officers and three Indians followed him about a mile. From here Millar and the Indians followed him, MT. Tyner being exhausted in the chase. Sheriff Millar caught up with him and he took to the river, when Millar called him to "stop." After taking to the river, he made for the California side, and there being no possibility of his capture, Under Sheriff Millar shot him, the ball taking effect m the breast. He turned and said don't shoot, you have killed me-" Millar sent an Indian in to bring him out, but he immediately sank.
 We take the above from the sworn statements of the officers, and although sad as it may be, the officers meet with a general commendation for their prompt ness and courage. This man Flores " is known to be a des- perado of the worst kind and re- port says that he was preparing to organize a " Vasquez outfit, and had not this been the result there is no doubt that he wonld nave lnaugurated reign of ter TOT.

LEWISTON, April Ii, 1881.


EDITOR TELLER.-As the TELLER
has always stood firm as the Crock of
Ages" in maintaining the interests CT
the great and growing empire east of
the Cascades, it of course understands
the vital Importance of cheap trans
portation to and from the seaboard,
and which cheap transportation we do
not now have byany manner of means.
We are now paying higher freight
charges than any other country in the
United States. Only think of it; on
an average nearly fifty dollars ton
by boat for only little over 400 miles.
Who ever heard Of such a thing being
tolerated in country whose business
men are as intelligent and shrewd us
our own. The reason of it is simply
because they have been misled by
false statements. The difficulties to he
overcome have been greatly exaggerat-
ed and held up as scarecrow to in
timidate anyone who might think of
obtaining freights at more reasonable
rates. TO show that the difficulty is
r not nearly so great as some would lead
us to believe let us just figure little.
Now four, or at least five boats could
do all the carrying and passenger trade
between Lewiston and Portland.
= These boats would cost say $4,000
: a piece, making the cost of continu-
- Gus line Of steamers 100000. At a
y small estimate the present company re-
=" ceive for freight and passengers east OF
- The Dalles $l,000,000 year. Now
!" is not that a pretty good income from
y only 100000 investment, Just SOC
III per cent, but they have hung up Sc
many ugly looking scare crows for tn,

Or to believe everything they tell us, cs
Is pecially when they attempt to gull Vi
with stories about how little they are
- making. If anyone do not believe tn,
figures | have given they only have t

correctness.
- Now would not all the merchant
- east of The Dalles be glad to enter in
to contract to give the carrying O
all their freight to any company VIII
would agree to carry it for one hal
N the present price. Then that compa
hy would receive 100000 year no,
with rapidly increasing trade, an
counting 100000 year for the rur
al ming expenses, would leave the nc,
,c company. 100000 or 100 per cen
ne on the amount invested each year, an
al that too, at one half the present price

nj cannot this thing be done when cap

smoke was seen coming from the dry goods
store of Mr.. Levison, of this city. The
doors were broken open at once, and the

Mr. Levisnn, a customer and Mr.. Shank,
left the store about five or ten minutes he
fore. Mr.. L. going to the jewelry store,
leaving an ordinary fire in the stove. The
origin of the fire is based on the fact that
the stove had quite an open crack in the
side, and live coal must have snapped out
and fallen through the cracks of the floor
and ignitedthe saw dust and shavings there
accumulated The store was formerly used
for saloon, and much of the saw-dust car
pet, fell through the cracks and knot holes
of the floor. A portion of the floor, the
shelving and wall of the building was burn
ed and much OF the drygoods were damag
ed by the water. There was light insur-
ance on the stock but none on the building
