MINERAL CREEK MINES.
What Prospector Eas Seen-Some Good Prop

MINERAL GREEK, August 10.

MINERAL CREEK, August 10.
 I have been prospecting in and around this part of the public domain for over two months. Have found noth- ing that deem O. importance. Others have been and are here, and have located some most excellent properties. The Mineral Creek Company are working away, getting their mill in order, winch, by the way. Is a five instead of ten stamp mill, as you reported ID previous number of your worthy journal, fixing roads and developing their mines. The Emmett and Missouri, tine property of another company, are the superior prop critics, SO far as developed, in the Min eral Creek district. To the west, or southwest, of Mineral creek, are the Bo- lalger copper mines. These in time will prove most excellent and valuable acqui- sitions to the men who prefer copper to silver mines. East of Mineral Creek district six miles Ss the Pioneer camp. The outlook is not as good, and the lodges do not show as well as those of Mineral creek. The curse of this camp IS its base ores and the immense amount of water encountered in sinking shafts The lodges are small. At the South Pi- oneer I had expected to find something of value, because of the many puffs given it, not only by its owners, but by the Silver Belt editor, who, by the way, I am told, receives stock for his hercu- lean efforts to bull the stock. There are 25,000 shares in this mine, and the bull referred tO declares that there is S2.5O per share developed. Strange DO one believes this to bo a good mine except those who have stock, but such is the case The company has an agent in New York, another in St Louis, one in Philadelphia, San Francisco, etc, and several here, all of whom are anxious to let you have few shares, that you may be able to make fortune with but little effort. Their charities know no bounds. While in Globe was of fered stock by several parties, and had intended to purchase; but wiser opinions prevailed. visited the mine; I saw 1t for myself. The verdict is in few words: Gotten up for snidei I have not purchased; am out prospecting for something better.
 The Fl Capitan, owned by some pros pectors from Globe, is a good mine. No water to hinder. These poor prOspectors have done more work and on better plan and principle than the boaste1 com 1 any referred to. In time, I'll give you another letter. IBID.

The Lesson of the Floods.

The experience of the past few weeks of rainy weather in Arizona will event ually prove a blessing to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, although it be costly lesson. When the railroad was being built across the Territory, speed of construction was deemed para mount to its permanency. The roadbed for long distances lay across compar- atively level and barren deserts, broken here and there by solitary buttes and small mountain ranges. But little labor was needed to establish the required grade ill the yielding sand, and the record of former floods, as recorded by the many dry arroyOs, was scarcely needed in the work of construction, small bridges being made to span the largest and inadequate culverts the lesser washes. So far as the character of the ground permitted, the roadbed was otherwise well made, and for dry weather road had no equal anywhere.
 But the voluninous rain fell this sum- mer with sudden and irresistible force upon the small mountain ranges and ex- tended very generally over the deserts, and the concentrated waters met but little resistance in the railroad while speeding on their course toward the sea, and the treacherous sand gave way like the melting of snow un- der tropical sun, leaving the wrecked track in 8 most discouraging condition. Workmep by the hundred were kept busy day and night, directed by exper- fenced, skillful and intelligent builders, yet they were unable to cope with the force of the waters, and ofttimes the la- bors of the day would be destroyed in the night. Besides the immense ex- pense incurred in these wholesale re- pairs, the interruption of railroad com municatiOn has subjected the people of the whole Territory to great annoyance and inconvenience and vexatiOus and expensive delays, that they hope will never again find a repetition.
 Upon the railroad company the lesson will not be lost, and before another sum- mer rolls around the grade of the road will probably be ralsed in some lOcah- ties, and the track held firmly in posi- tion by system of piling, with adequate openings left thrOugh-a respectful def erence to future deluges. 1t IS safe to say that in future years no serious de lays will occur by reason of vashOuts, unless the volume of water increases in proportion tO the precautions taken to overcome its disastrous effects.

\ Spunky Man.

The man who committed suicide Fri day was peculiar character. Shortly before the occurrence he was sitting in the park talking in a most social man. ner, when he turned to another German present and asked "have you any spunky The latter, supposing it challenge to fight, replied " 1 think I have as much as ordinary men" Then" said the other, follow me" They went out as far as the corner of the garden, where the muddy lane would have to be crossed. The man with the spunk stopped, saving this is far enough" t" NO," said the other, come on" as he plunged into the muddy water in the lane and crept through the barbed wire fence and sitting down by the tree cO0lly. The spunky man, fearing he might mean mischief, and not wanting to fight over barbed fence and water ditch, returned to the park. In about twenty minutes a Mexican boy rushed into the park and said a man had just shot himself. Joe Bayer and the man of spunk went over, and sure enough there he was, srill sitting against the tree but dead. The man being left-handed, had shot himself on the left side of the neck, the bullet ranging upwards and coming out over the left ear. What he meant by asking the man to follow him can only be cOnjectured. He may have fal- tered in his purpose and wanted some other party to fire the fatal shot, or he may have wanted s spunky man to &C., company him in his final tragic act or he may have wanted an eyewitness. Who can say?
