On the morning of the 28th ult., at
o'clock, a fire was discovered under
full Roadway in the saloon building
occupied by Mr.. O'Brien. The alarm
was soon given and a crowd flocked to
the scene. The flames soon spread to
the adjoining buildings, including two
saloons, one harness shop, feed store
and large building used for black
smith and wagon shop. In a brief
space of time all were reduced to ashes
and the contents of the saloons were
entirely consumed, but from the other
buildings nearly everything was tax
en-. The fire is now generally conceed-
ed to be the work of an incendiary.

The political bosses in Virginia are
having good deal of trouble. Though
Malone could not secure the appoint
ment of Riddleberger as Sergeant-at-
Aams of the United States Senate he
succeeded in making him United
States Senator, and the cancellation of
political debts incurred in so doing is
what all the trouble is about. The
question of spoils seems to be the
most vital of any in that State and the
politicians are willing to sacrifice all
else to gain point in that line.

HERMOSILLO.
The Beautiful CiIy-Gov. OrtI1-Misrepre. Scntaflon Refufed

HERMosmLo, August 10th, 1882.
 EDITORS CITIZEN: I have been iu this city of the beautiful now for some four days and find that it fully iustifies its name. Hermosillo is a city of about sixteen thousand people and increasing fast. It Is situated in q valley on the northern bank of the river of same name and about ninety miles north of Guaymas. The city covers a great ex- tent of ground there being many large and spacious dwellings, in fact the first settlers like those of Tucson built large and airy houses and while not particu- larly preposseSsing in outward appear ance are palaces within.
 The business upon which 1 am en- gagged led me to seek acquaintance with Governor Ortiz whom I found agreeable and atfabie, in short a perfect gentle man Tn every respect. The Governor is young man probably not more than twenty-seyen, of fine personal appear ance, and from his conversation it can at once be seen he is an educated and talented man of the world.
 l see in the issue of August 1st the Star makes what might be called its editorial column out of the grumblings Of some disappointed and dissatisfied miners, the great venom of the article seems to be directed agaInst Consul Willard at Guaymas. There seems to be an air of fiction about these charges that would justify severe scrutiny be- fore publishing to the world. It would be easy to go through the article step by step and show how absurd are some of the charges and untruthful are others, but Is it of enough consequence?
 One charge dwelt upon a. least enough to show how the wind blows, Is that Consul Willard is more attentive to than Americans. Another Is about the mine near Barrancas; of this the Governor expresses himself as in utter ignorance. This whole article would seems to be the gr0wlings of dis satls jed men and should not have ap- pearedin the columns of fair minded journal, and must have been intended to excite a feeling of distrust among Americans as to the safety of life and (especially of Americans) in Sonora while the fact is that both are as safe as in the United States in general. best not come hereto growl, many things will be different to what they have been accustomed; some could be improved while of others they might do well to adopt as although the United States are a great nation of people they are nor as some seem to thirk "puris- simo' in all things Mails get here from eight to nine days from Tucson. Got your issue of August lst to- day.

or for school.

Four sons of Mir. LeOpoldo Carrillo, viz. Leopoldo, Louise, Joaquin and Ar thur, toge her with young son of Man. uel Martinez, left for Locust Grove Academy ID California to-day. Two of Mir Carrijlo's sons had, at that place, prior to the last vacation, passed nine teen months, and had, in their studies, improved so materially, that on the ter imitation of the present vacation they are returned and their two younger brothers sent with them. The school is situated near the town of Sonoma, and makes a speciality of educating boys under twelve years. NIT. Carrlllo ls so well satisfied with the advancement that his sons have made that he not only sends two more of them, but takes pleasure in recommending the school to others, more especially to the Mexicans, as there their boys become thoroughly familiar with the English language, which everyone now recognizes as being of great practical value, the day having forever gone by when the Spanish Ian guage is alone of value in Arizona or even in Mexico.

Sonora Chips.

| During the recent visit of. Mr. TOppy ! Johnson to Sonora, he inspected the mines of Messrs. Barnett S Block, | located about thirty miles from Mazda | lena, and prouources tt to be one of the ! finest prospects iu that section Of the cOunirs Under the supervision of Mr. i Beurett, one 0t the cO-OWncrs, develop meuts are being pushed ahead night l and day, ana Iu such a practical man. uer that the value of the mine Is determined as the work progresses. ! At stated intervals in the main shaft,
 the ore body is cross cut and its width and average value gscertained. About | five hundred tons of good ore are now on the dump The Pima mine adjoin- Ing, owned iud worked by Mr. Nerkes and San Francisco parties has also promising future. Nr. Aerkss has, off and CD, worked the mine for the past
 thirteen years, and has reduced the ore ! both by shelter and arrastras, but now 1 developments have so far proceeded ! that mill O ten stamps will be put up on the mine this fall Mir. Johnson 1 believes that fully two thousand tons of ore are stacked and ready for reduction. l Other mines in that ueIyhbOrhOOd are also -aid to be very promising and to- getter with 5he two mines named are paying propositions from the surface down. The popular saloon in Mazda l lena is Franks" and the favorite game poker, with a two bit ante and a dollar ! limit. Judge Rates, formerly of Pres
 colt. but now largely interested in Sonora, occasionally takes a hand, loses t@J pr three dollars, then gets mad and talks about his land specula- tious Judge Anderson, a prosperous merchant, now and then closes up and bets c the ful. limit of the law. It would be Mr Johnson says, hard to 1 find a better or more generous lot of men than are grouped together in that soctur.
