A Butterfly Storm.

From the Carson New Appeal.
Thursday something overl0, 900, 900 butterflies
invaded Carson and filled the town. About 10
O'Clock they were so plenty in places that they
frightened horses in the streets. They only
collected in the streets which had been wet
down by the watering cart and avoided the dry
spots. This led many to believe that they came
rather small and had almost black wings,
trimmed with gold. They seemed all the same
variety. People in Empire noted the same
curious visitors They seemed everywhere, aud
as thousands were on the ground waving their
black and yellow wings they looked quite
picturesque

IL is said that the members of the four COM
manderies here are in favor Of taking this step.

an expenditure as is required to pay the ex-
penses of delegates from the four command
cries to the Grand encampment.

PROUD OF ARIZONA.


Hon. N. o. Murphy. secretary Of Arizona, is
in the city. In speaking with STAR reporter
of affairs in his territory Mr.. Murphy said:
''The outlook for prosperity in Arizona has
never been brighter. The output of precious
metals will be larger this year than ever be-
fore, and according 10 the assessment rolls the
property Of the territory has increased some
thing over 900 during the last twelve
months. The principal agricultural valleys are
attracting widespread attention, not only for
the variety but quantity Of their products.
The fruit season In the southern valleys of
Arizona 10 earlier even than in southern Cali
fornia, and the quality Of the fruit most excel
lent. Apricots, peaches, pears, grapes, straw
berries, raspberries, blackberries. apples, &C.,
grow in abundance, and successful experiments
have proven that orange culture will be profit
able. The Salt river valley is the great valley
OF the territory, and it is asserted, think
truthfully, that this valley can be made to pro-
duce more to the acre and a greater variety Of
product than any like quantity Of land in
America. When the railroads now being pro-
jected in Arizona are completed, bringing COM
munities closer together commercially and
furnishing cheaper and better facilities for
traffic and interchange Of commodities for
home consumption as we'll as export, then
Arizona will successfully compete with any
other commonwealth in the Union, and it will
not be long before these results will be accom-
plished.
"How about the political situation?" the re-
porter asked.
ut is somewhat disturbed at present. Both
parties are struggling for supre macy; few
local dissensions have arisen over the distribu-
ton Of the Offices incident to a change of ad-
ministration; yet, after q little time I am
satisfied these matters will adjust themselves
and everything settle down tremendously"
How about Arizona's chances for state
hood?"
THAT is for Congress to say. The people Of
the territory are divided as to the method to
pursue in obtaining admission, although our
people will ask to be let into the Union at no
very distant day, I have no doubt, and when
the request is granted we will be fully pre-
pared"
