Drowned while Bathing.

The sad news reached the city
yesterday morning that Mr.. John
Fry, who, with number OF others,
was bathing In the surf near the
Salt Works on Thursday last, was
drowned under peculiarly distress
ing circumstances. His cries for
help were not noticed until the
frantic cries Of his sister, who was
on the shore, attracted the atten-
ton of his companions to him. A
gentleman who was bathing about
sixty feet from him, heard his cry,
but as the surf was high and Mr..
Fry was jumping up, as though en-
joying the sport, he did not think
he was in danger until he saw him
disappear aud not come up again.
His body. up to last evening, had
not been recovered, and one suppo-
sition is that it has been washed
out to sea, while others, from the
suddenness of his disappearance,
hold that he was attacked and car
ried off by shark.
Mr.. Fry was young man of fine
business qualifications, had wide
circle Of friends and acquaintance,
and by his integrity aud industry
had won the respect of all who
knew him. His sister, who wit
messed his sad end without the
m cans to extend q helping hand,
has been almost Frustrated with
grief since the sad occurrence.
Mr.. Fry had been in the employ OF
Messrs. Perry, Woodworth. & Co.,
and was highly esteemed by them.

THE YUMA MILL.
Working on Madrs Ores Other Mines.

EDITOR HERALD: On Monday
last the Yuma mill began Its regu-
lar run on ore from the Madre mine,
one of Van Arsdals's locations,
which has something like one
thousand tons on the dump.
Everything works to a charm.
Under the able supervision of Mr..
Matthews the mill was erected and
in working order in forty days.
The crusher, ten stamps, are driv-
ing and pounding with superior
power and clatter night and day.
The anna alga mating process adopted
by this Company Is supposed to be
perfect, though things seeming.
iy most perfect sometimes fail. Of
accomplishing desired results, on
account of some little trifle or un-
expected hitch. Should the "clean-
up" prove satisfactory, the success
of the mill aud permanent value of
the Cargo Muchacho district is as
sured. Should it prove otherwise,
1t will simply necessitate the en-
ploy ment of men and processes
which can save the gold for carloads
OF this same ore, shipped to San
francisco, milled over $50 per ton.
and picked ore $50. A carload
from the Arizona miIled $72, which
lode now has several tons of ore on
the dump that will mill $l00 per
ton. Among the locations in that
district, the most promising, aside
from the Cargo Muchacho, is the
Snowbird, owned by Messrs. Fisk
aud Mayo. The northeast shaft,
begun OIL six inches Of pay streak,
at depth of fifteen feet, shows
three feet of $50 milling ore and
no walls, while the southern shaft
gives ten to fifteen feet Of ore
which will mill $35. There are
about sixty tons Oh the dump from
this ledge, and it seems to be u
bonanza of free gold ore. Other
prospects present fine indications
and rich ore, the assays from which
will be better appreciated when
California street mining eharps
learn that there is here, bordering
on Arizona, a mineral belt six by
twelve miles, which bids fair To
rival Bodle in less than year.
Talk to these self-wise individuals
is useless. Let them come and
look. FELIX.
YUMA, July 4th.

A Pert Question.

EDITOR HERALD: Yesterday the
fremen were obliged to climb up
the outside Of Gov. Downey's resi-.
dence in order to reach the fire at
the risk of their lives. Now, why
in the name of common sense, does
not the Council see that the hook
and ladder truck is put in working
order? Everything is complete
AMI ready for use, aud it seems to
me to be a most niggardly bit of
economy that refuses to provide
proper quarters for the truck. A
company can and will be formed at
once if building is provided for
their use. Had the fire obtained
the mastery, the brave boys on the
roof would have been obliged TO

False Alarms.

The alarm of fire about 3 o'clock
yesterday Afternoon was caused by
the explosion Of lamp at the resi-
dence of r. A. Ling, on Spring
street. The Fire Department re-
sponded promptly, but their SER
vices were not required, the incipi.
ent blaze having been extinguished
with pail OF water. The cause OF
the explosion was not ascertained.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock second
alarm was sounded, which also
proved to be false. In answering
this alarm, the carriage of the
Park Hose Company was overturn-
ed at the corner of Main and Com
mercial streets, and considerably
damaged. The driver and a man
on the rear of the carriage were
both thrown to the ground but es-
capped without serious injury. The
driver held manfully to his team,
and thus prevented runaway.
