Destructive Flames.

Shortly after noon on Wednesday, smoke was seen issuing from the section house in the southern part of town, and surmising that fire was in progress, the alarm was gwen up to- En, and every body started on run. By the time those first to arrive were on the ground the fire had burned through the inner roof, and was maki 2 rapid headway between the roofs, where 1t was inn practicable t5 get at. although attempt after attempt was made to quench the flames. which every moment leapt higher and higher into the air, famed by a breeze which sprung up. The bydrant at inc house furnished but R weak stream which barely ran out of the tose, there not being force enough to throw It window high.
 It was readily seen that any attempt made to save the rapidly burning build
 ng was useless, and the crowd present began to remove the effects of the Oc- cupante, Section Foreman Maurer and wife. The furnishings of one room were almost entirely saved, including bedroom suite, bedding. sewing machine, chairs, carpet, trunk, etc, etc, but ev- erN thing in the kitchen and other rooms in the house including all their cloth~ ing, was complete loss
 A train of loaded coke cars was stand, ing the siding almost opposite the house. one ear of winch commenced to burn, just as helper engine came along and moved the cars down the track be- yond the reach of the flames; the house anG fence surrounding the yard were completely destroyed, and only by the heroic effort of those present, was the fire prevented from spreading aud doing further d. mage.
 The fire is supposed to have caught from a defective Hue, and Foreman Maurer esiimates tbelr prIVate loss at at laast S300, DO insurance being carried on their furniture.
 It was a noticeable fact tbat six oi our base ball n,ne including Manager Crowley, were among the most active workers, as were also Constable How arth, Otto Moore and F. E. Cadwell.- | V ilcoX Siockman.

Arizona Climate.

The climate of this territory as resrot for health IS unsurpassed. One of the old residents Of Graham county stepped into the BULLETIN office a feg days ago and related the following:
 There was a man 15 years ago living ID Illinois who had consumption. He had Sl0,OO0 life insurance which he had placed oD his life before he became married. The doctors told him he could not i've SIX months; his friends eucouTa- ge 1 hun the same way. He told them he old not think be would live that long, and that he did not care if he died lhe next day. He made a sale of bis life insurance policy at seventy-tive cents on the dollar, and came here with S7 900 and bought a lot, and got it mighty cheap. for there was never much demand for that sort of real state ID this vicinity. While he was cultivating the acquaintance of an undertrker. he began to get better.
 He had one lung when he came here, and you could hear him breathe a block away. He fingered until he began to pick up. and the first thing we knew he had sold his lot in the cemetery. He actually grew new lung without taking anything except the blessed atmosphere of this consumption. He went into business on his life insurance money and lived luxurIously for ten years. His death was caused then by accident Bulletin.

Yuma Assessment Roll.

The Board of Supervisors met last Monday to hear statements from tax payers whose assessments had been raised why such action should not be taken.
 The Bonanza mine and mill was amOog the first considered. A. G. Hub bard, President of the company, made an extended argument against raising this assessment from S25,009 to Sl75, GOO. According 10 hgures given by him, this amount is far in excess of what similar proparty is az sssssed in otEer counties. He also thought the company should receive some consideration from having expended about Sl5OG on wagon road to Aztec.
 The District Attorney was of the opin- ion that the additional taxes could not be collected.
 The Board laid the case on the table ;ill afternoon, and on resembling a resolution was agreed to, vacating the raise and placing the assessment back to the original figure, s25,000 Several cattle men were also heard protesting against any further raise on stock.
 The action of the Board was & sub- stant'al return to the figures of the assessor. The reason seems to be doubt as to whether the additional taxes could be collected. Ire showing against 6 raise was strong and had weight with the Board.
 Instead of an increase of the assess msnt roll, We shall now have an increased tax rate. A high assessment and low tax rate looks much better than the other way, but the railroad company will now bear it's proportion of the bur. den.-Yuma Times.

The out put from the mines Orked bv 1h5 com pany, viz, Lucky Cuss, West Side NorthN est, TOug gonut, Assay Office and Charleston aggregate 7.027.S2 tons and the yield in ounces her from was 46O,- 50574 silver and 4,207.S0 ounces gold.
 The production of ore has exceeded that of the prev ious year by 2,956 tons. The average grace has increased 3.9U ounces per ton in siIv-r and d clined 26 ounces per ton in gold. makiog the av- craze value of the ore per ton in the. e me als nearly the same m two years The percentage of lead has been nearly stationary.
 The increased production has come mainly from the Northwest and Tough nut mioes. but all the mines have i'm prove d in this respect over the previous year.
 A very large amount of new ground has been opened in the mines during the year by new drifts. crosscuts, wing s and raises, aggrega ing 12.354 lineal feet or 54 per cent. more than in th9 pieced- ing year.
 The total number of cars of rocK of all kinds bOisted was Sl.5l5 which to- gether With 2.IS2 tanks of water hcisied from the Lucky Cuss mine; amounted to 54 730 Ions. Of these only 6,705 tons, CT PA per cent. was shipping grada and was seut 10 the smelter.

COUNTING THE TIES.
That is What Can Soon be Done.

A Herald reporter has just been over the l.ne of the new road from Ash Fork to Chino, a distance of 32 miles, which Is as far as the construction work has l advanced
 The company is doing things on 8 scale that was never before seen in rail- road building ID Arizona and the completed road wlll be a surprise to many.
 Atpresent 750 men are at work, but 2000 could easily be used. The reason more men cannot be secure is because only S175 per day is being paid an1 the laborer boards himself.
 Ire heaviest work now being done is at the summit, IS miles from Ash Fork, where blasting IS being done on a mag nIficent scale and ihs mOuUtiin siies are giving wBy to the prowess of man.
 The company has lumber piled up ten feet high and quarter of mile in ex tent which contains more lumber than was ever in the Phoenix lumber yard at one time.
 Big piles of Ores on pine for the bridges are seen, lies without nun Der and every tram IS bringing in more ma teIisl.
 Sesl rails are arriving at Ash Fork and enough will be received soon to compIets 9 miles.
 The road will net bs completed to PhCeDix as soon as expected but it will he built. That fact is TO longer a mat ter of speculation.
 The iold Nill te in operation ten ni e5 out of Asn Fork by Septem Der 1st and cars Wili be running out twenty miles by the first day of October and the whistle of tue iron horse will b. beard n Prescott on either Xmas or New years day.
 It is estimated on good authority, that the road wlll be completed to Con- gress mine by Jure l, '93.
 It wa intimt tted by one of the con tractors that If the people of Phosnix would offer a good substtut!al induce meut, the road might be completed and cars running into PnoeniX by July 4 h of next year. In the words of Cns of the head men: "Everything is possible wIlh coln," which ls 8 gentle hint that the people could spend the next fourth in the northern Ia't Of Arizona If they care to put up stuff" to act as stimu- lst)r on the contractors.
 After the line is completed to this city, Major Vaughn, the chef engineer, will proceed to Florence and Tucson, and if the proper inducements are given the company, so the Major says, will ex- tend the road to those places and then connect With the Mexican road at Ben- son.
 There is at present TO boom at Pres t.. but matters have the appearence.
 The camps ali along the proposed route are also l; okIrg toward the com pIetion of the road asd general feeling of prosperity prevades the air-Pboe- nix Herald.

THE KNIGHTS.
Knights Templar ConclaVe
 At Denver.
Incidents and Scenes on the Day
 of Assamb.age.

Over seventy thousand Knight Temp lar and, as many more visitors, crowded the streets of Denver on the Sth. Tne formal opening of the twenty fifth ter mlnal conclavs took place Tuesday and 1t Is doubtful If another event of the kind will ever be he'd. The or der is growing t) such proportions that it is only a question of tune when a single gathering of the entire organi- zation will be practically impossible, and the crowds in Denver today bear evidence that the limit is almost reach ed, and by the time another three ears has rolled around It will proDa b be found necessary to hold two, or evs n three conclaves Tn different parts of the country. So the 25Tn, the Silver Cor clave of the Knights Templar, held in the greatest silver city Tn the country, is likely to prove the last, and Tn num- bers and mBgniIicence It will surpass its 23 prede decessors m the series of ev. nts which it Is destined to bring to a close. The citizens of Denver have raised over a hundred thousand dollars to defray the expense of tce gathering, and have done everything in their power to pro- vids accommodations for the visitors, and yet the hotels, boarding houses and even many of tEe private dwellings are packed to suffocat op, and stores, vacant buildings and in fact every thing with a roof and four walls has been filled with cCt5 and pressed into service. Every In- coming train adds to the crush, and the committees who have been appointed to welcome the visitors and direct them to lodgings are having more than they can do. The committees have been supplied with cards giving information regarding the principal streets ard ho- tele, and the location of the different headquarters. These have been scat tered broadcast and have gr eatly simpli fled the work of handling the crowds. Over a thousand sleeping and day cars have beee side tracked at different points in the city, and are being util zed as sleeping apartments. Tonight the resi- dent cOmmandries will hold receptions from eIght to twelve o'clock, and inc first grand illumination of the city will take place.

The Scenes of Arizona's Grand
 Canyon.

Professor Tourney, of the University of Arizona, Ill the department of botany some time since iu company with A. B. Cordlay, Assistant E.t1mologlst from Washington City, with the permission of the govern ment went on an inspecting trip to the Grand Canyon north of the San Francisco mountains in Arizona. They were joined at Flagstaff by Prof. Townsend, of New Mexico, and Prof. Wooler, botanist.
 Pref. Tourney gives a beautiful des criptiOn of the scenery of the Grand Canyon and the mountain tributary He relates the following in substance:
 We found at what is known as the HaBs' resort or hotel that at that point the Grand Canyon was IS miles in width from rim to rim and pserIng down below one nile and a half deep from where We stood, We could see tke silver sheen of the great old Colo rado winding and twisting here and there in It's meanderings toward the ocean. We were down to the river and slept on its banks oBe night. The river

at thIs point is very deep aud runs rap- idly, and the ridges ID the waves, so to spesk, are four and five feet high and the swells four and five feet Ceep. We remained two or three weeks making collections of insects and botanical plants. We collected thirty or forty species of parasitic fungi. On the 15Ih day of July we enjoyed our lunch in a snow bank. and the weather was cool and comfortable during the entire trip.
 The Grand Canyon is north of the San Francisco mountains. Standing upon Humphreys Peak, Ill the San Francisco mount tains oue can look out on 21 lovely lakes of water in the dis tance. Beautiful plateaus lsy between the mountain ranges literally covered with grass. Ire Ariz ma Cattle Com pauy has l6,OOO head of cattle pastuTiug 10 that vicinity. Ao immense pastuFage IS fenced in with ralls split from the tall pines of the mountain range of which there IS an immense quantity. In one of the pastures suOdivided three deer were corTailed and a cattleman tried to lasso them with indifferent success. A large bear was captured in one of the pastures. On our way homeward We crossed the natural bridge over Pine Creek, in TOntO Basin. The arch of this bridge is TO feet above the water and in length and dimension is a giant in natural and imposing structure as con- pared with the natural bridge of VIr- ginia. A man by the name of GowaD, has 6 ranch under cultivation ca top of the bridge so it's dimensions can be cons jectured."
 The professor speaks in glowing terms of the grand scenery of the country through. which be travelled and pre- 0icted that it was destined as a great summer resort fer Arizonans and people from all over ths United States.
