ACCOUNTS OF THE FLOOD LAST WEEK.

Washngtou February II The Ion.
Bridge connecting Washington with Vir
ginia Soil is for the most part a causcway
which has made it dam for the Potoma,
during the last few days The warn
weather had flooded the river, and the ic,
gorge above and below Long Bridge ha:
helped to swell the volume until carly this
morning when the ice began to break up
The swollen waters of the Potomac poured
ngalst the wall Of masonry forming the
bridge across the Potomac, backing the
river around the poiUt To where the Wash.
'nSton Monument stands, and thence across
the White House lot, filling up the lower
ground between Pennsylvania avenue and
South Washington, for the distance of a
mile and half
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE FLOODED
The result has been that all day long the
iowcr portion Of the broad avenue from
Tenth street west to the Capitol gate has
literally been canal, in which row boats,
fiat boats aud all kinds of small water craft
have been used to ferry people from their
dwellings, places of business, and to and
from some of the smaller hotels located on
the south side Of the avenue. Fully one
half Of this great business thoroughfarc has
been submerged and is likely to be sub
merged for several days. All day long
the streets leading to the cvcnuc have
been throngcd with pedestrians and vch-
'clcS.
VENICE IN WASHINGTON.
Senators and Representatives crowded
the balcony in front of the Congressional
library, Watching the wonderful scene wit
messed from this favorable position. One
part OF Washington had become a new Ve-
nice. Along the streets where the pave.
III m;nts were known to be good horses were
driven, and in some localities it required an
effort more than iording stream to get
safely across. The broad space covered by
the Botanical Garden at the foot of the
Capitol had become an artificial lake. The
site of the Baltimore and Potomac depot
was sourroundcd with water, the food
causing all business to be suspended. Street
cars that were driven for awhile were abau-
'doncd on the track. The great market
house was isolated 10y the flood, and even
tho few dealers who attempted to open up
business on the open sidewalk were finally
compelled to abandon theirs temporary
quarters

LrrnuSY IN CALIFoRNIA.-lt is said
that California is becoming alarmed by the
fact that the loathsomc disease of leprosv
is spreading from the Chinese to their

several times been sent back to China but
as the disease was thought to be peculiar to
AsiaticS, no fear Of contagion was felt
But it is no longer a matter Of doubt that
the shocking scourgc has established itself
among the white population. One physi-
clan in San Fran ,isco reports that sixteen

The disease is hereditary, and marriage
should be strictly forbidden to all who have
the taint in their blood.

Murder FoCll

NJ P. Shores, better Known as Tex" the man who had an impeachment in his speech, was found dead on the trail leading from his ranch, (which is situated south west of Tiptop) to the latter place, and seven miles from the same. Doctor Day, who went out with Dawes, Belcher and Bostwick. to examine and bury the body, writes us that Tex was murdered about the Doth by being shot, the bullet entering the left side of spine and passing out at the nipple. The Doctor says that there Is determination on the part of the people to hunt up the mur- deeer, and parties are out on the hunt.
 Tex was an inoffensive, industrious man, and always had about his person small amount of money, and it is more than likely the small pieces of glittering gold caused some unholy wretch to take his life for its possession. We hope the murderer may be found aud punished for the cruel deed.

OBITUARY.

DIED.-At Leavenworth, Kansas, Marcl 15, 1881, WMBUR FISK HIGGINS, native oi
 Penobscot, Hancock County, Maine, aged
 about 37 years.
 Mir. Higgins came to Prescott in 1874 as
 Chief Clerk of the Quartemaster's Depart
 ment at Military Headquarters, and resided here continuously up to last June, when he accompanied Col Weeks to Fort Leaven- worth, where he died. The malady to which he fell victim, consumption, manifested itself some years since, but the progress of the disease was so slow as to create no ap- prehensicn of any immediate fatal result. Its course was, however, accelerated under the unfayorable influences of the climate in his new abode, and his friends have noted for some time past, with extreme sadness, the gradual ebbing away of his life. A few days before his death, deluded by disease in which hope never expires, he expressed the conviction that he would shortly rally and it was his intention to return to Pres colt with the coming spring.
 NIT. Higgins had in this community wide circle of friends, to whom the intelligence of his death brings the deepest regret. He en- deared himself to all who knew him by such qualities of head and heart as are rarely the property of man. No one who ever came in contact with him, either in business or socially, without carrying away an abiding sense of his sterling worth. Holding, as he did at various times, positions of unmeasmed trust and responsibility, no whisper of sus- picion was ever breathed against his name He united a singularly pure mind, clear intellect and warm, generous heart. He was manly man and the world is poorer for the loss of such as he. To his imme- diate friends his loss is irreparable, and though 1t may temper their sorrow to know that a noble spirit Is freed from the thralldom of body racked and shrunken with inces- sant pain, the longing and the regret that make men hunger for the dead and absent | ones will abide with them along into the | 
 Truly has il been written, Death loves a shining mark. Peace to his ashes.

FROM BRADSHAW.

Those good people, MT. and Mrs. N. c
 Shekels, arrived in Prescott yesterday iron their home; Bradshaw City. MT. S. is al old pioneer, and has stood by the Bradshaw section manfully, because of the fact that h, owns valuable mines in that section, whicI he confidently expects will become bullion producers at no distant day. He informs u: that Mr. c. E. Foster, the Superintendent of the Tiger mine and works, keeps the mine clear of water by use of steam power and pump, so that when the company desire they can commence operations without un- necessary delay. He mentions, in con- nection with the Tiger, other mines, such as the California, Benton, Cougar, Lion, Eclipse, Gray Eagle, Bradshaw, etc., all of which show rich and large bodies of ore that will cause that camp, now somewhat dull, to be, ere long, one of the liveliest on the Pacific coast.
 Four miles west of Bradshaw is Minnehaha Flat, where lives those noble pioneers, Chas Taylor, James Patterson, w. K. Ferris and others, occupied in farming, mining, lum- bering, etc. Mir. Patterson has opened a good wagon road from this lovely little spot to Phenix via Cal; Flat, Castle Creek, etc, and is now, with his train, enroute to Phenix, hauling lumber out and supplies in.
 At the Basin, two miles north of Brad shaw, the mill is working to charm under the supervision of Mir. Morton. The whole ten stamps are working nobly, five on War rior ore and five on Prince.
 = Bill Simmons, the ''boss" packer, was telegraphed for at Globe, to bring in his 80 mules to pack ore to this mill, and, on the 26th, left that place for Bradshaw, therefore no hault will be made at the mill on ac- count of scarcity of ores.
 Our whole country is looking up, and soon 1000 people will have a say in mining and all other matters.

WANTED-A HoTEL-One of the mos, pressing wants of this town of Prescott is a frst-class hotel. The tide of travel Is grad ually increasing, and will, with the advent of the railroad, be much greater. Hun dreds, aye, thousands of people, will come here in six months to escape the rigors of an Eastern winter. Other thousands will seek our pine clad hills. in order to keep cool during summer. Those who cannot af- ford to live without laboring with heads and hands will come to better their condi- tion in life. Previous to settling down, they will have to patronize hotels, so that much larger and better one than any we now boast of will have to be prepared for those people. Our public spirited citizens will, we hope, take speedy action in the matter.

Headquarters Offices to be Rebuilt

The Headquarters offices, which were de- stroyed three months since at Whipple by the fire messenger, King over all others, are to be rebuilt immediately, Col. Grimes having received instructions so to do and the necessary funds wherewith to pay laborers for their work and contractors for supplies. Agreat many peopleofPrescott will be employ ed by the QuarterInaster in rebuilding the of fees, and in thousand and one ways it will benefit this section of the Territory, which will soon surpass all other in population, wealth, etc

We sincerely hope that Hon r. Hamilton
 will hurry up his book on the resources o Arizona, so that We may be able to aacom modate those who are continually writin. for informioatn about the Territory. Some o our readers wonder if there is not livery stable in Prescott, and only one barber shop and two or three stores. We are ashamed to answer these letters by sending copy of the MINER, as it contains but few advertise. ments of our rich merchants. We predict Prescott will be filled soon with stores, as people will bring in goods, believing that the few who advertise are the only merchants We have.

Persistent efforts on the part of some men and newspapers to paint acts of the recent Legislature worse than they really were, ap- pear too late after the session to be of any service to the Territory. While the MINER did not and does not endorse all the acts of the 1lth Legislative Assembly, it cannot for get the fact that among its members were many able and true men, who, had they favored certain presses and interests more than they did others, would be lauded to the skies by the same men and machines. Criticism is good in its place, but spite and chagrin ought not to be the spices with which certain literary hash are every day seasoned

The machinery of military affairs in Ari zona runs like well regulated clock. Gen. Wilcox at the helm is the right man. Col. Grimes Is the Chief Quartermaster, which duty he performs to the letter. Col Ben jamin, the Adjutant General. is a man of action and few words. Capt. Eagan keeps the commissary, the most palatable division, well stocked with all the nice articles allow ed under certain sections or articles of war In fact it would be difficult matter to find a military department anywhere conducted better than that of Arizona
