MARICoPA WELLS. Jan. IA 1879.

MARICOPA WELLS, Jan. 14, 1879.
 EDITOR SALT RIVER HERAI.D.-I left Phenix yesterday expecting to make connection with the down stage here at the Wells, and so con- tinue my journey to Yuma, but on account of some hitch in the mail ar- arrangements l find that passengers from PheniX are compelled to lay over here about 9 hours. Had I known this before leaving home I would have come this far in a private conveyance, in time to take the down coach
 At Hayden's ferry I found C. T. Hayden and his lady in the best of health They have the finest proper ty and one of the finest boys in the Territory. The water power there is sufficient to run dozen factories, and it is only question of time when Hayden's ferry will be the Lowell of Arizona. On account of the delay which I would have to make here Mrs. Hayden gave me cordial invitation to stay with them over night and MT. Hayden offered to send mo over here in his carriage this morning, but I was possessed with the spirit of travel and come I would.
 The trip from Hayden's ferry here, ? miles, in an open blackboard after night is not such a one as most of people would take for pleasure, but 1t was not wholly devoid of interest. as Joe, the driver, enlivened the time by relating many little incidents dear to me, an old timer.
 When l was last here this place Was run by Mrs. Moore, now find it by Charlie Block. A. Bar nett, one of the owners here, was married on the 9th instant to Miss lfachael Rlch, at San Bernardino, Cal. We had good supper and breakfast, and l enjoyed the luxury of good bed last night, a great rar- Ety at station in Arizona.
 Charley Book gave me a piece of news which l give to you as I re- ceived it and which you may take Tor what it Is worth, as I am responsi- 0le for nothing which do not know myself. He says that Judge Under hill, Tn the interests of the Railroad Company, yesterday located a town 'n the line of the S P. R. R. Co.,. 'oout miles due south from here, 50 mote it be" "quien sabe."

 PICKET PosT, Jan'y 16, 1S19.
 Editor HERALD:-A test of the ore Qrom surface), from the Goodenough mine yielded as follows: yield from two tons of ore, from which the rich. est ore had been selected, one bar in bullion weighing 240 ounces, about 900 fine. Down at Stone tS Benson's mill preparations are now being made to test the above mine and mill to their utmost capacity. Many are anx- iously awaiting the result, which, if favorable, will result in a new depar- ture in this district.
 We learn that Mr. Whitlon's half interest in the Eureka mine has been bonded, do not know for what sum. The two mines above mentioned are on the south side of Queens Creek; whilst the King is on the north side. The surface of the ledge on the south side Is in limestone formation, which terminates at the Creek. The uues ton therefore with miners and pros pectors is, what will be the result on penetrating the granite formation. Indications are favorable, and should further developments prove the ex. tention of a true Assure vein into the granite formation, and a correspond ing increase in richness, stakes will be made at an early day, and our camp will be second to none, as the ores work easily frem the first to the last process. Time will reveal, mean while, our energetic and persevering miners, and gradually, by force of pick and giant-powder, making their way downwards in the direction of an anxiously looked-for goal-a wide and rich pay streak"
 Our first term of school has closed. \ schoolhouse is greatly needed here but this enterprise seems to be out of the question. For the purpose of eXpediency and economy(o this en- terprise has been undertaken by pri- vate subscription.
 The "16'' mill is aga1n crushing ore on a King contract"
 Rain has fallen in profusion here duing the past few weeks, and the Finals are covered with snow. The ineflieiency of dirt roofs has again been exhibited, and the patience and good nature of our lady friends thor oughly tried. Twinges of neuralgia and rheumatism legitimate result.
 70 what a scanty world were it,
 Would pain and sickness spare it,
 And fortune favor worth and merit
 As they deserve it.

The Great Flood i'm Russia.

Ore OF RuS-ias glo0mieSt anniversaries is the
18th No enter, (the TIN b. her reckoning on
WI 1ch st. Petersburg was overwhelmed by the
most devastating flood which it has ever known
that OF 1924. During the three previous days a
very strong westerly wind had forced back The
foetiGg ice Oh the Gulf Into the mouth of the
Neya In such quantities as completely to block
the river at that time swollen to an unprece-
denied height by one OF those sudden JhawS
which often occur at the beginning OF the Rus
Sian winter. The Water continued to rise 50
rapidly that during the whole night of the 18th
(6th Old Style Watchman were stationed along
the bank, While the ringing OF bells and the fir
ing OF alarm-gunS was unceaSng Many of the
Inhabitants, fearing the worst, got together such
OF their belongings as they could carry off, and
fed for their lives. They were not an hour too
soon. Early on the following morning the river
burst its banks, the canals overlooked at the
Same time, ana within q few hours two-thirdS of
tiie main city was under water. The houses
upon the lOw-ly1ng islands beyond the river were
even more completely submerged and the air
was filled with the crash OF falling buildings,
the ShriekS of women and children, the inceS-
SAINT booming OF SgnalgunS from the citadel
they deepened, whirled along wagons bargeS,
Sentry-boXeS, loads Of hay. and the corpSeS of
men and beasts. Toward afternoon boats began
to ply through the streets in order to rescue the
inmates OF the threatened houses, and the reign
ing Gar, Alexander l, was himself among the
foremost in the good work. But notwithStand-
ing all efforts, as well as the rapid SubSidng Of
the flood toward nightfall, the havoc was very
great. Upward Of 1900 buildings were de-
strOyed in St Petersburg alone, and $50 lives
lost, without reckoning the scores who, having
taken refuge upon the trees in the Admiralty
square, escaped the flood only to perish miser-
ably by the mercileSs frost OF the succeeding
night. The height OF the inundation is still
marked by a red line painted on the houses
which flank the river, with the significant date,

How we Catch Cold.

This pertinent question. says the Lancet, Is
just now engaging attention. There Is another
question which should be answered tirSt-name-
ly: What is cold? The idea of a "chill" is per-
hapS nearer the truth than the modern notions
of a 'icold." The hypothesis would seem to be
that "cold" is something more than cold
because it is said, 'You do not catch cold unless
you are cold.' The fact Is, there are probably
so many diverse occurrences grouped and con-
founded under the generic title of cold-catching
as diseases covered by that popular term fever,
which Is made to comprise every state in which
the pulse is quickened and the temperature
raised. By parallel process of reasoning,
"cold " ought to be limited to cases in which the
phenomena are those Of a "chill." When a
person "catcheS cold " either of several morbid
accidents may occur-f1rst, he may have such a
chill OF the surface as shall drive the blood in on
the internal organs and hamper some weak or
disorder and influence some disease viscus; sec
ond, the cold may so infringe on the super
fetal nerves that serious disturbances of
the system Will enSue and morbid state
be developed; third, the current of air
the propagattng germs OF disease; or. fourth,
some one or more of its parts, may be so de-
pressed by sudden attraction OF heat that re-
coyery may be impossible, or a severe and
miSch1evouS reaction ensue. The philosophy
OF prevention is obviously to preserve the
natural and healthy action OF the organism
as whole, and Of the surface In partic-
ular, while habitating the skin to bear severe
alterations of temperature by JudiciouS expo
sure, and natural stimulation by pure air and
clean water, and orderly habits of hygiene and
health.
