Out in Mohave county new towns are sprlnging up like magic. The Mohave County Miner has the following ID re- gard to the latest city which has come to the surface:
 The Iizardville boom IS felt here as well as at Kingman, and stock IS way up. Agents nave been appointed all over the country and orders are coming m. We believe with Colonel Sellers, "Ihere is millions in It." The encouragement We have received from outside sources makes all engaged in the enterprise feel very proud. We have met with serl- ous loss. One of our prize ring streaked and speckled Gila monsters from lip Top got away from our herder and IS we presume, either in Prescott or Phe- nix, undergoing course or tonlcs' Spring medicine is just as necessary for those animals as 1t IS for individuals or the genus homo. If any Of our mon- sters get cold we shall send away for the Slippery Dick balsam ot Gilead cough dope and dry wash nurse. Our board of directors of LiZardville met at Fred Roenne's saloon this afternoon and business of importance was discussed. Resolutions were offered approving all done h the past. The treasurers and secretary's reports received and ordered filed. The president in a neat speech congratulated all for their zeal and ener- ~. Most of the members were called before the bar and responded to the sat .staction of the director III the rear or said bar. Motion to adjourn was not aoticed until a very late hour. The cer- smonies closed amid cheers and music by the Lizardvllle chin music band. Now we will 20 on swimmingiy, but the water supply will have to be carried 1own from Blackberry. Thus the first
 pach in the history of the Lizard de- ,rlopment mas passed and now comes york day and night to propagate our .tock and get them in condition a set orth in our prospectus.

Stirring up its People With T Lively
 Dole


 The Republican has a decided liking or Tucson, its people and institutions, -hls liking extending even to the "Old lOrse blanket rug III their seventy-tive nOGsand dollar court house" which IS saId to closely resemble one of Bier ,tadt's great paintings. Leaving jokes .slde, We sincerely respect and admire
 ne courage, the enterprise, the persist ,ucy of daring manifest by its people md journals. They concoct more chemes and undertake more gigantic
 uterprises for the aggrandizemeDt of
 he old pueblo than any other people ghom We ever met. The organization 4 railroad companies with capitals of uIllions to build projected roads to all JOInts of the compass, IS no trick at all nth them. What does it matter that ne roads are not built, so long as the
 IspositiOn IS manifest to build them?
 hat Is a cheap method Of advertising heir town. In Tombstone a company ,ould not be formed on paper, even. to connect this place with the railroad at rairbanks, distance of ten miles, al tue way down an arroy that Is almost
 natural read bed. he pens, ink and .fdpGEf lO say uoAAAAIk bA SuC GnOAh " iraw up such scheme, would overtax
 UT people. Even to talk about such ,oh,me Is too great an exertion for most men here. When no other event s found for the surplus energy and en- erprise of TucsOnites, they organize
 hambers of Commerce or hold bar meeting and telegraph the fact all over he world, thus giving notoriety to their own. There are thousand and one .ays that the town is advertised; and ,hlst this IS being done the merchants nd business men advertise their busi- Iess through the local papers, thereby nsbling item to do more for the com non good than they otherwise could.
 an the business men of Tombstone see he point in this, and if so will they -ome to the front and give such support o their papers here as will enable theIE O do a more enlarged work for the com non good?- Tombstone Republican.

The g.publieaa Committee.

John c. New, a member of the Na-
 tional Republican committee, says thai knew of DO necessity for a meeting O. the committee before the regular tune in Decent Der. There was no need, be said, of electing a successor to the laie
 Marshal Jewell, the chairman, because the committee had done the work for which it was appointed, and has no.hlns more to do. At the meeting in Decen- Der 1t will decide upon 6 time and place for the next national cOnve utlon- and it will need a chairman for iAsi purpose only. The present IS only @ boldover committee, and the chairna1- ship would still be a purely bon0rar! position. The chairman and cOmmittse for the work of 1884 will be elected D. the convention. The impression seems to prevail that William F. Chsud.ei' Secretary of the Navy, will be the char man ard the controlling spirit ID ils Dexl Presidential campaign on the paf' of the Republicans.

\ tax pager of Pima county asks the
 CITIZEN, "what will be the tax On Sl0O
 provided all of the bonds are issued
 hat have been authorized by the Legis- .asure:' The question oi a "tax payer" cannot be answered accurately, but it
 nay be so nearly answered that the dil-
 erence will be very slight. The taxable .ropersy of Pima county last year was
 s3,s42 40, and it will ID all probability
 mount to fuily Sl0OO,0O0 this year.
 The tax for all purposes last year was
 S2.35 on SlJO. If S2000OO should be is-
 -uvd to the narrow gauge road, and
 S2OOO0O Co other roads, or a total of
 Si00,0o0, which would bear interest at
 he rate Of seven per cent. per annum,
 he interest would be S2S,000 per an- lum. To raise at amount by taxation Ja a valuation of Si.CO0OCO worth of property would necessltate the levying ing of tax of 70 cents on Sl00, which would increase the taxes for al purposes allowing the rate of last year for oth- T taxes-to $30j on SlOa. TLis amount represents the full tax without
 my deductions for the repayment of in- terest by the marrow gauge road and
 ioes not allow for the additional tax
 .ble property that would accrue to the county by the building Of the roads which would, in the first item, reduce
 he rate to g cents on S100 and would leave 8 cents on SlC0 to he paid on the S2j0.000. which the Board of Super gisOrs are authnrizai to issue. Thls lmouut, ;-,ar opinion, is tbe most the ,ou lty would be called upon to pay. and that only for the first year. It vii l be seen that we have all wed nothing 1 for a sinking fund, nor would any be l for at least five years to come | After the first year We d. not epprehend 1 the bonds 10 be issued would increase the rate of tax at all, and 1t may reduce 1 .he tax by increasing the valuation of I taxable property. With this view of the | :ase 1t will be seen that We have much : To gain from the issuing of county | bonds, and nothing to lose. The build. .ug of the roads will give permanency to Tucson and a fixed valuation to prop i -riy for all time, and We trust the cor ,truction of the roads will begin at aa | sa.ly day.

A NEW industry has sprung up in Bo-
 dle. The houses are being torn down
 and shipped to more prosperous miniul
 camps. Such industries have been go
 ing on for years i1 California and thr
 western mining Territories; though il
 not few instances the mining camTs are deserted, and the houses are left
 fall into decay. In most camps, ,howevtr, the short occupation of the houses have paid for themselves in rents, or vi at is equivalent their occupation by t1c owu- CTS. While travelling iu California 8 few .-aar~ ago. We came upon one of Inese deserted mining camps, which contaipeo about three hundred houses built of red wood lumber. Many of them were in. good state of preservation, but being SO long exposed to the weather, the h5uses and surroundings presented lonely and deserted appearance, unknown to tbs eastern country. Rank weeds, and climbing vines grew every where and ir some instances almost hid the doors ana  windows from view. The brown stain oi the redwood boards Of which the houses were built looked more like the relics o' centuries than of years. St a soul ir- ha6ited the town; it looked even more wild and cheerless than the depth of the neighboring forest. We believe this is the second time that BOdie has been de- populated. Years ago 1t suddenly be- came Q lively camp and was almost g. suddenly depopulated. Then after years of neglect the ever alert prospector dis covered ore in some of the old des rted mines, and for a tIme Bodie boomed, but We judge from the k.nd of work now going ont that the camp is not prosper

The New Posfage S.amps.

The Postmaster General has under consideration several new designs for the new two cen. postage stamp for first class matter which will supersAde the three cent stamp after July l, 1883. A favorite one is similar to the present two cent stamp used for local postage. although the color IS dark brown instead of red. Inns far the difficulty has been to choose whose head shall o-nament the new stamp, but it is probable that he vignette will be that of Gen. Grant Topeka Capital.
