 MORE ABOUT THE FLooD.-We hear that Granite Crtek was much more swollen by the rain yer,erday below here than at thls point, and that at Clough's place, below Point of Rocks, it overfiowed Ills banks. and it IS feared that Clough's orcha -d, garden and farm were badly injured. Parties who were out riding for pleasure and enjoying the shower, were in sight of the orchard, and saw tha, the ground was covered with ssheet of water throughout its entire extent. This must have carried on heavy coat of esnd aud if the garden shared the same fate it must, of necessity, injure it badly.

 We were, today, shown some pulp from the first run of the new mill on Turkey Greek. belonging 10 the new mill of the Arizona Consolidated Mill and Mining Con- psny. In fneneSS 1t is fully equal to the product of any stamp mil that We have ever seen, yet we are informed by Ar. sam uel A. Henszey. Vice President of the Com psnv. that the machinery is capable of re- ducing to a much finer powder II necessary The machinery used in ihis mill Is new, not only to Arizona but to the entire Pacific Coast; it has, however, been largely used in Eastern quartz mills with the most satisiac toty results. We always hail with en- eouragement the exhibition of enterprise and in this instance, where the old fashioned ..,mu mill bids fair 10 be superseded by improved machinery, of not only greater <.f6eiency. but much less cost, We cannot hut regard the event as one of exceeding interest to all of our miners. and We are in- clined to believe that m Jus' such manner ns this must our vast treasure chest be un- locked. The milf, So We are informed, will commence running regularly ln few days
