Fire at Yuma.

A Yuma dispatch says: "The railroad warehouse at this place was burned this evening at 2 10. A carload of merchan- disc with oil on the floor was being transferred, and workman dropped lamp and the car was ignited. The flames spread rapidly and in less than an hour the warehouse, four cars of merchandise, and the conductors office were entirely destroyed. By strenuous efforts the railroad offices and hotel were saved. The wind was from the north, or none of the buildings could have been saved"
 Further inquiry shows that the fire at Yuma last night occurred Tn the follow ing manner. While taking freight from a car the workman set his lantern on the top of barrel which contained some preparation of naptha and india rubber, substance resembling thin printing ink. The barrel had been leaking some what and some of the substance was smeared upon the bottom of the car. While the workman was engaged in talk ing down freight at one end of the car, Mexican truckman, ia throwing a case of goods on his truck, jared the barrel and tipped the lantern which fell to the floor. In an instance the substance spoken of flashed like powder, and it was by most heroic effort that the men in the car made their exit. The car was filed with general merchandise and a couple of barrels of the lnflammable material, and before the yard fire engine could get to the scene with a water tank, the spreading flames had com municated to the warehouse which was consumed. In the warehouse was a quantity of up-1ver freight, considera- ble amount of the company's materials; a few shipments of provisions for the trackmeD, some pieces of baggage and the mails. The mails and baggage were the only articles saved.

A Good Henture.

Joe Goldtree, Frank Schultz and oth- CTS own a large ledge of ore on the San Pedro river, about seventy miles from this city and two miles from the Water man & Williams ranch. The mine is called the Mammoth, and the assays give from s15 per ton upward in gold. The ore IS free milling and abundant. Instead of waiting for a possible pur- chaser, the owners have sensibly con- cluded to make the mIne a source of immediate profit, and they have pur- chased twelve-ton Dyer cannon ball crusher, rock breaker and all the nec- essary parsphernalia to pulverize and amslgRmate the ore. They have a 25- horse power steam engine, and will ar range the frame work of their mill to add another crusher when necessary. A complete outfit of this kind is not at all expensive, and men of very moderate means, with 0 ledge of good ore. can soon make quite a snug fortune in erect ing and running mil of this kind. In the instance of the Mammoth mine. in their estimates the owners place the average milling value of theIr ore at the low figure of ten dollars per ton. The capacity of the mill will therefore yield Sl2O per day. The working expenses are very light, and at an extravagant estimate the ore can be mined and worked at S6 per ton or SIP per day. leaving a net profit of S4S per day. As the owners will work for several months on ore that will average over S30 per ton, and the expense of working will be the same, 1t will be seen that their daily net proceeds will reach S2SS. This is not visionary statement; it is not only susceptible of demonstration, but 1t has been fully demonstrated many times.
 This is, pre-eminently, the mill for the poor miner, and the time is not far of when nearly every mining district in the Territory will give up its wealth of pre- cious metals through the medium of many of these effective and available machines.

Besides these attractions the bathing just now Is luxury, and the bat riding-iust think of boat riding m this 'desert' land!

A NATURAL BRIDGE.
An Interesting Natural Curiosity of the
 Tonto Basin.
Prescott Journal

Prescott Journal-l
 There is a natural curiosity in the shape of bridge, erected by Natures hand, over Pine creek, in the Tonto Basin country, for description of which the Journal IS indebted to Mir Stewart Daniels. He writes: The bridge is owned by David Gowan, and is ore of the grandest sights have ever seen. It Is 6OO feet Tn width; from the bottom of the arch to the top it is aL average of 40 feet; span 115 feet in length; lower side of arch 150 feet. On the east side of the canon, and about 200 yards above. is the residence of the owner, who takes pleasure m showing visitors tke bridge and its numerous caverns. In all of the latter are splendid stalactites, stalag- mites, petriisctions of all kinds of veg etable matter, such as branches. moss, etc, besides bones of animals and hu- man beings. Those which are iu damp places are turned to stone; others are still m their natural state. All the caves SO far explored show by the pottery found that they have been the habits tons of two races of Indians. In one of the caves we discovered a cache, in which We found ollas filed with corn and mesquite beans. In another was the figure, in stslactite, of beautiful woman, which some artist had adorned with chignoD, bangs, etc. Mir. Gowan ssid she was called Lady Gowan, and would continue to ob- serve the latest fashions. One of the ouriosities of the staiactites is this: Each has its own musical sound, which IS produced by striking with the hand, and just one sounds like rattlesnake. On the bridge is found many kinds of timber, among which are the oak, ash, cherry. walnut, alder. hsckberry, pine, three kinds of cedar, manzanita, null berry, and tree which in that country IS called mountain cypress. There are also many kinds of wild fruit shrubbery. the most prominent of which are the dewberry and grape. The bridge, be- lieve, has been formed by the water from two large springs, which rise about 20 feet above the level of the bridge, and which the owner uses for irrigating pur- poses. They furnish about 100 inches of water, which Is about 9j degrees Fah- renheit. and will take no effect on any thing until 1t runs lJO yards from the spring, where 1t incrust everything 1t touches.
 We spent two days at this place, and had only time to explore about half the caves, many of which are now inaccessi- ble; but we felt amply repaid for our trouble. There are mary mines Tn the basin, among the mos. prominent of vhich are the Gowan, Oxbow, Golden Wonder, Zulu, Contact and American.

Mining Matters.

Captain F. G. Barker arrived few days ago from the Nina Grande, Sonora, and reports matters very quiet in that section. While mining operations are going steadily forward, but little of the outcome is made puclic. The Sombre- retillo mining company started up their ten-stamp nil again last week on good ore, with prospect of running steadily. The Boston and Sonora Mining Com pany, whose machinery has just been repaired and overhauled, will start its ten stamps next week. This property has been developed to quite depth, and has good prospects of steady work for the mill for a long time. These two properties are located about fifty miles south of west from Nogales.
 About half Way between the above mines and Nogsles the Plomosa Mining Company are working forty or fifty men, twenty-five of whom are miners in the strictest sense. This company have large quantities of low grade ore, which is concentrated before reduction. They crush the ore with Cornish rolls capable of crushing fifty tons daily. Frue con- centrators are used. The twenty-ton smelter will begin operations in the lat ter part of August or the 1st of Sep tember. This company also owns very wide ledge of low grade ore yet un- touched. the value of which has not yet been estimated. This ledge shows fully hundred feet wide in a wash, and the ore can be quarried out. No assays have yet been made to determine its value, but few tons will soon be tested. The outlook for this camp is very tsttering'
