 Granite creek got on the rampage this noon and came down, not so much, perhaps like the water at Lodore, as like thousand bricks.
 "It chattered over stony ways,
 In little saarps and trebles,
 It bubbled into eddying bays,
 And babbied on the pebbles"
 The rise didn't stay long, but it afforded amusement for men, boys and dogs while it lasted.

 D. c. Mitchell, the photographer, has presented us with series of new stereo- scopic views, taken last week, which are very fine, and just the thing to send away to friends who wish to know how Prescott aud'its surroundings look. A view of the north side of Gurley street, from c. P. Head & Co.'s to the school-house is re- markedly clear and we'll taken. Two views vf Prescott, from different stand points, showing the new courthouse, a general view of Fort Whipple, and front view of Department Headquarters, Prescott barracks. are splendid and true to life. Then comes an elaborate representation of the office of the Arizona Daily and Weekly MINER, with the foreman and other attaches, including the carrier in the fore ground. This latter picture will be valua- ble acquisition to any lady's center-table.
