A Singular Volcanic Disturbance.

Reports have just been received in San Francisco of curious volcanic disturb ance in the waters of Mine Lake last Sunday. This lake is in the heart of the high Sierras above Yosemite Valley. It IS fourteen miles long, and it's water is as bitter as that of Great Salt Lake. The mountains near by, which are cones of extinct volcanoes, were very active last spring, when volcanic disturbances occurred all along the Sierra Nevadas and in many parts of the State of Neva. da. Last Sunday family named Nay living on a ranch by the shore of the lake, were amazed to see steam issuing from the lake as far as could be seen, in hereely, while huge waves rolled up the beach. and receding, left the sand smok- ing. In noment the air was thick with binding hot sulphurous vapor and sub. terranean means and rumbliugs.S Then came several of the most severe earth quake shocks ever felt in the mountains. winding up with tremendous twitch oi the earth that threw men and animals off their feet. Several persons were bruis ed, and all cattle on the ranch stampeded but none seriously injured. It was some hours before the lake ceased to emf columns of steam. Two springs neal the house, long noted for their coolnes. and the purity of their water, changed their character and spouted mud fol two days, when they flowed cold water again. A stack of 200 tons of hay was moved 70 feet without disarr anging it.

Complaint that San Pedro Was Ignored in the Political DeaI-CanG1dates Dis- cussed--EncouTaging outlook
 --Gossip of the
 Camp.
MAMMOTH, September 25, 1S90.

MAMMOTH, September 20, lo9U. EDITOR ENTERPRISE The republicans of this section should not be ignored en- tirely as was done in the late republican gathering in Florence. We are not re- sponsible for the expressions of few in- dividuals to divide the county and we should not be denied recognition on the ticket. I see by THE ENTERPRISE that Florence is willing to furnish the entire ticket, the usual custom observed in Ari zona for the county seat to 'hog 1t all" Word has come to us that Drais was nominated by the republicans for sheriff as against De Nure. Drais is better known here than De Nure, but had De Nure been nominated the republicans would have had better chance to elect their man, De Nure would impress his fitness for the office and besides he IS full ly competent in every respect ln and out of the office.
 W. 0. Truman is considered free from all combinations and will receive major ity of the votes on the river. There is al so a feeling here among some who op- posed Truman before and are sorry that they voted against him, causing such 8 woeful state to exist in the sherifs office, and they are now satisfied that Truman is | the man to purify the sher1ffs office.
 It is reported here that our justice of the peace, H. B. Pinching, will come out as an independent candidate for member of the legislative assembly.

Advance Argument.

Every man should be respected, who in the advocacy of his views, political or otherwise, advances good argument to sustain his ground, but he who has only abuse and scurrilous epithets with which to carry his points should not be coun- tenanced as authority on any subject. The principles of good government are based upon the teachings of good men in all the history of the world. These prin- ciples have always been for right, justice and equality. They are as solid as the foundations of the universe, and the man or woman has no more need of the use of abusive words than in the defense of a belief in mothers love.-Exchange

The latest official news is published in San Francisco Report, under date of Sep tember 17th, and says: "The north cross cut from the northeast drift on the 9S0 level is looking very well this morning, and there is considerable mineral distri- buted through the rock. The further we go ahead the better it looks. I consider we have very fine prospect. In the face of the crosscut there is small streak that extends up and down the face for two feet. It is not very wide, but withal it looks well. I have sent a small box by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, and YOU can see what it looks like I did not send any gray porphyry. but the formation is principally of that, and il carries more or less mineral"

Disastrous Rains.
Yuma Times.

Heavy rains last Wednesday, though quite welcome, proved rather disastrous to some of our frail dirt-covered roofs. When will Yuma discard the anticipated adobe structures and replace them with neat and durable brick buildings? While the first cost of the latter is from thirty three to fifty per cent greater the subse- quent saving in constant repairs will in two or three years fully make up the difference. The finest of clay and sand for the manufacture of brick is easily available and it is quite time that they are utilized. Who will take the first steI in this direction?

Last Saturday morning as Sheriff Fryer was crossing the Gila river at Riv- erside on horseback, the animal was caught in the quicksand and was drawn into a deep hole by the current It then floundered and struggled so violently to get it's head above water-a standing mar tingale resisting such movement-that Fryer was thrown into the water under the horse. He managed to get hold ot the driftwood lodged against the stump ot a fallen tree, but the current was so strong that his feet were drawn far under and he could scarcely keep his hold on his weak support He finally succeeded in reaching the side of the driftwood and struck out for the shore, which he reach. cd in an exhausted condition and was landed safely by his companions, whose efforts to aid him while in the water were unavaiing. The horse came out guar ter of a mile below. It was narrow es cape for the sheriff and his horse.

A Batch of Criminals.

Sheriff Fryer, w, P. Bamrick, Sid Bart leson and Frank Shields started last Friday for San Carlos to bring down two Indian prisoners and George Apsey, held under arrest by the military authorities murder. They returned Wednesday evening with their prisoners and an es- cort of five soldiers, the remainder of the escort having turned back after reaching Riverside. The Indian prisoners are Captain Chiquito and Tonto B 60, the lat ter being one of the murderers of Glenn Reynolds They also brought down the Mexican who witnessed the killing of Reynolds and Holmes, to give testimony against the Indians.
 Apsey, the rancher who murdered a man named "Andy" at his place near the Aravaipa, laughed and ioked with his escort all along the journey, and seemed totally indifferent to the gravity of his great crime. He said he felt sorry only for burning the body after the murder, but he did it to keep the hogs from devour- ing it. He also said he wanted his ex- animation hurried up so he could return and look after his cattle, and apparently i believed that he would regain his freedom without difficulty.
 l His story, which was published in the i Silver Belt and appears in another col i umn, is at best very Himsy one, and does not bear the least semblance of the probable facts.
 Apsey had a preliminary examination yesterday before Justice John Miller; he was waived examination and committed l to await the action of the grand jury. | The new road to Casa Grande, as sur veyed by county surveyor Colton, brings i the grade one foot above the highest possi- ble flood water. There are but two points requiring fills of any great length, one be- ing about mile long and the other two miles, over which large portion of the work will be very light. No culverts are contemplated, but water escapes will be provided with firm and solid rock foun. dations over which the heaviest teams can pass at all times. The new road in creases the distance but half mile.
