PRESCOTT, July 1.-THE Miner, speak
ing OF the recent storm, says: Sin the
settlement known as Chino Valley, about
70 miles north of here, Mr.. Bakers loss
in patches of grain, alfalfa, fences, etc.,
exceeds $4,000. Mr.. Banghart lost about
six acres of corn land. corn and ali
washed away. Other farms, being ON
higher ground, got off easier. The
storm seems to have been most severe at
American Ranch, where the Twenty
third Infantry were encamped. The
flashes Of lightning were almost continu-
Gus, electricity appearing to fill the air.
Hailstones covered the ground as if with
snow, and all of them were of unusual
size. even for Arizona. Very many
OF them were as large as hens
eggs. In the morning detachments were
sent to hunt for missing property, most
of which, when found, was battered and
DESTROYED, hundred of yards from the
tents"
CITIZENS of this Territory who would
like to propose for an Indian contract
out of which they could make decent
profit, are chilled and discouraged since
hearing that the old contractors are fur
nishing supplies for the first three
months of the fiscal year. Their doing
SO will, it is said. give them almost all
tho money appropriated at last session
of Congress "for fesding Apaches in
Arizona" and leave the safe empty for
those whose fortune or misfortune may
elect them contractors. All such people
believe, in the face of Mr.. Mccormick
assertion to the contrary, that there is
an Indian ring, and that he (McCor-
mick) is its plant tool-a belief we share
with them Arizona Miner.
In deciding the case of Pennypacker
vs.. McDougal ct al. the Supreme Court
of California settled these points: That a
house set upon blocks resting on the sur
face of the ground, not attached to the
soil, and removable without disturbing
the land in any way, is not a part of the
realty; that a portable fence is not part
of the realty, and that in replevin for
materials of which improvements on
realty have been constructed, only the
materials or their value can be recovered,
and not damages to the freehold.
