Wm. G. Pendleton had an un. pleasant experlence on Wednesday last, and narrow escape from a watery grave. He was crossing the Gila at San Carlos, on the ferry boat, when it swamped. The cable which guided the craft then parted, and the boat was swept down stream by the turbulent waters. William conclud- ed to take his chances in the angry waters rather than remain with the frail craft, so he lost no time in di- vesting himself of his clothing, and was soon striking out for the shore, winch he reached in safety. The h. dians in charge of the boat managed to fetch his clothes ashore. William was none the worse for his bath, but was prevented from completing his trip and retraced his way to Globe. The boat is now making the longest trip on record for ferry, and will proba- bly, reach salt water before its journey ends. The Gila on the night of the 9th, at that point was as high as ever known. The San Carlos river was still higher and at least 200 yards wide.

The continuous storm, for a week, of altenate rain, hail end wind, has been productive of some damage. Several houses have been injured, those belonging to Mercer, Clark and Calderon damaged most, The barrels upon the top of the M. E. Church, in- tended to hold water for use in case of fire, were, by sudden gust of wind, sent whirling through the air for some distance. A tin conductor on the BELT office was torn from its fasten- ings and twisted out of shape, signs were blown down and a lumber wag- on which was in front of Lundy's blacksmith shop, was waited to the opposite side of the street. The great est damage, however, is to the roads. The toll road across the Pinal noun tain, via Pioneer, to Globe, is badly washed, and is almost impossible, even for light vehicles. The rainfall was unusually heavy for this time of the year, and so swelled Pinal creek as to preclude it's passage at this place, and north from Miami the volume was so increased as, in places, to cover the entire bottom between the hills.
