prescott Miner, Aug. 18th
The recent heavy rains which
have visited this section Of Arizona
have caused many of the creeks,
gulches and ravines to run high,
and in some instances great dam
age has been done. Below Wick
enburg, we hear that the great river
of water which went down the
Hassayampa a few days since car
ried away large proportion of Mr..
Brill's ranch, and also caught
the Sayers Brothers, with their
teams, capsiziDg their wagons,
carrying away their load and kill
ing three of their mules. The men
escaped by climbing into cotton
wood tree. At Martinez the road
and cafion have been washed away,
together with several hundred doi-
lars worth of v alter Tuning belong
ing to Messrs. Frink & Black. AT
kirkland, the canon below Mr..
Beckers ranch is greatly washed
and damaged. In Skull valley the
water has swept over the lands,
but little damage being sustained.
Above Skull valley, The Iron Spring
road is badly damaged aud freight
ers cannot get through until the
roads have heavy repairs.

Thousands of cases in different
parts Of the globe, under the most
favorable circumstances for petri-
faction, have been investigated and
all found, upon such investigation,
TO be adipocere. DR.. A. A. Cut.
ting, Of Luneburg, State Geologist
OF Vermont, says he has investi-
gated In person several cases, even
where reliable witnesses in other
matters would, under oath, swear
to their petrifaction, and all were
simply remarkable states of pres
ervstion from the adipocere pro-
cess.
.nrne cases of Mira, 9 gorge Bennett,
of Waterford, al d Mr.. Prescott, of
st. Johnsbury, ere cited in support
Of his theory. 1t was stated In the
newspapers that the body of Mrs
Bennett, who died in 1854, at the
age of As years, was found, on it's
removal from the cemetery of
Waterford to that of at. Johnsbury,
TO be in q state of 'pe r.faction,n
the legs and body ''being In per-
feet form and as hard as granite,
aud being touched with a hsmmer
gave sharp, ringing soupd." Two
respected citizens OF st. Johnsbury
testified to the petrifaction of Mr..
Prescott, and their dismay, at his
second disinterment, may be i'm
agined when it was found that his
body had been preserved in that
waxy, adipocere state, without any
indication of petrifaotion. DR..
Cutting writes as follows, with re-
ference to the first case.
''If Mrs. Bennett was petrified,
that petrlfaction would bring more
than its weight in gold, and it
would require body-guard, even
in the quiet town of st. Johnsbury.
to keep it buried. Such a speci-
men, placed in the British
Museum, would be valued higher
than the crown jewels, and would
be relic more rare than anything
that exists on earth"
In justice to the reading com.
munity, all such reported "petrl-
factions" should stand untrue. For
more than fifty years, the combin-
ed efforts of scientists have failed
to find the least portion of the soft
part of any Uorna. blooded animal
that has been petrsjfed. Our rea-
soning powers teach us to believe
that man would be the last in that
class to petrify, as his flesh more
readily passes into decay.
Adipocere is q waxy substance OF
. cream color, into which the fat
and muscular fibre Of dead anl mails
are sometimes converted by long
immersion in water, or by burial
In moist places, III early Spring OF
in wet seasons.
This substance was first discover
ed and described in 1887, and de-
cayh In a few hours upon exposure
to the atmosphere. 1t may be ar
officially formed in fe " days by
immersion of bits of flesh In a So
luton of picric acid, or even in
spirits. But as yet 1t is a safe con
clusion to report as the truth Il at
no soft part Of any human body has
been found petrified; yet such
petrifactions have been assiduously
sought after for many years.
Pretended petrifactions have
been exhibited, but they were al
ways statues cut from the stone by
some ingenious rogue who wished
TO humbug somebody, aud WAS toe
often successful for time, rs with
the Cardiff liant. and so-called In.
dian boy, exhibited not long since
in several large places in New En-
gland.
