THE NEWS FROM PIMA COUNTY'S
 GREATEST CAMP.
The Inconvenience of the WashOuts---A Full Hand of Charlottesville General News About the
 Camps.
HARsHAw. Pima Co.,, Oct. 7th

EDITOR ENrERPRIRE:-W Washouts are over and politics are at stand still and this portion of the county is resuming the even tenor of its way. Cut off from the world for nearly amonth, you can imagine our situation. Old papers were sought after and even the oldest ad was consider ed worth perusal; our greatest misery however, was the lack of many of the good things this world provides. Not a fresh oyster, no eggs; in fact we were several days without flour. Fortunately corn meal and potatoes were in abundance. To the old timers this appeared as noth- ing, but many a tenderfoot was heard to exclaim, "Oh to be home again." A great deal of soil (tillable) was washed away, together with the crops, consequently our poor farmers are minus both land and seed. The cattle men are rejoicing; plenty of grass and now the roundup Is about over, they claim more than an average crop of calves.
 Politics are not bothering us much. Blue Jay, fitting over the hills hearing and seeing nearly all that traDspires, finds it difficnlt even under these circum- stances to form any definite opinion. The representatives of the republican party who called to interview the citizens of this burg, were J. K. Brown, candidate for the office of sheriff; Ben Heney, the | genial, aspiring to the treasuryship; Dr. | F. H. Goodwin who desires the handling of estates whose former owners are sup posed to be without heirs, and last but not least, Judge Wright, whose aspira- | tions lead him to desire the District At | torneyship for the coming term. Re marks, 1 should say speeches, were made l by both Judge Wright and Dr. Goodwin. | We will presume they created a good i'm | pression with the republicans here, who constitute a very small minority. With the democrats, as far as Blue Jay can as- ! certain, their words fell flat. Being a | stranger in these parts. Blue Jay cannot say how things will fare for either party; suffice it to say that the two gentlemen visiting this part of the world and repre- senting the democratic party, Messrs. Judge Lowell and Roskruge, although not having given us the pleasure to hear their views on the vital topics of the day, made many friends by their hail-fellow- well-met ways which as a rule charac- terizes the old timer and which suits those whose destinies are cast in the mountains. These gentlemen, however, promise us that within few days we will be honored by at least half dozen of the most prominent of the party, among others Judge Barnes and the veteran Charles | Shibell. But enough of politics.
 Harshaw is not booming. Finley, as usual, is raking in the shekels Pagan and Sloan, two of the oldest residents of the camp, have a lease cn the "American' which heretofore has produced an abund- ance of bullion; all hope these gentlemen will come out winners. Pluck and per severance they both possess and these qualities combined invariably win. Mars den of the Trench has been somewhat un- fortunate of late. He purchased new ma chinery in San Francisco without which he could not run the mine; it was caught in the washout and will not turn up until to-day, when all again will be serene. The closing up of the mine threw lot of men out of employment. MT. Marsden's losses also will be large; but a loss appears lit tie, l should imagine, never having had anything to lose, when one has a large bank account. The Duquesne, at Wash ington, Is working few men It is reported they have large bodies of ore. The Pool group at old Washington, under the able super. intendency of Mir. Donovan, are looking O. K. on the Pine Grove" Goode ana Paris do not complain and Olsen and Carol, of the Olive" are shipping ore Hale and partners, at the Blue Nose, are jogging along, but being very secretive Blue Jay hath to now been unable to fnC how things look.
 It were superhuous to mention the names of our different business men suffice it to say for benefit of your read CTS that all complain the lack of tht wherewith-all are however very hopefu prophesying a brilliant future for tn, Patagonias.
 After the Democratic nominees hay, given us their views and shaken hand. with the ladies here, I will be pleased t, again drop you line; ill the mean tim adios. BLUE JAY.
