THE SUPERVISORS.-T regular meeting of the supervisors was held yesterday, but nothing was done but to audit bills.
 CANDIDATE FOR SUPERVISORY The friends of Jake Miller say that he will be a candidate for the office of supervisor, and they say further that he is all right on the Brava issue, but they neglect to inform the waiting pub lie which side of it he is right on. In that respect he is like all the candi- dates, including Colonel Wilson and MT. Shannon.
 FIRST CLASS COUNTIES.-That Arizona is making some material pro- gress is instanced by the fact that two more of the twelve counties of the ter ritory have within the last year in creased their property valuations to the requirements named by the law for first class counties. Graham and Co., conino are the two counties claiming the new classification
 DISAPPEARANCE OF A MUS TACHE.-A certain young man of Phoenix who up to last Sunday was the proud possessor of a very fine mus tache is busy explaining to his many lady friends how he came to lose it. Some of his friends are oi the opinion that the rats chewed it off while he slumbered, but others insist that he parted with the adornment on the re- quest of lady friend. who complained that it tickled. Anyhow, it is causing a great deal of comment and amuse- ment. and when he passes up the street all the little dogs lean up against the fence and laugh until their ears ache.

Howell for leaving a gate open through which a couple of horses escaped was given q judgment against him in Justice Burnett's court yester- day for 80, $50 for one horse and S10 for another. The defendant was driv- ing COW by Mrs. Lanes place and the animal broke through the fence. How ell opened gate and rode in after her. neglecting to close it when he came out, thereby laying himself open to prose cution for a misdemeanor under the laws of the territory. He took an ap- peal from the judgment in the civil suit.
