CHAMBERLATN. July I9.-Judge Haney,
Of this district, sustained his temporary
injun ction in closing the original package
houses of this city. The grounds given for
the decision are that the enabling act ad-
hitting South Dakota to the statehood,
authorized the enactment of the prohibi
ton clause in the state constitution.
Such an enabling act having been passed
by congress subsequent to the passage Of
the Interstate commerce law, therefore
the prohibition law received the sanction

The Outlook.
Fnitanh.


 The prospects for a general revival of business ill all channels have not been so bright in Arizona for many years. The long depression that has had so bad an effect on OHr, at presant, two most promi- nent industries mining and cattle-has come to an end. From all the counties of the Territory, through our exchanges, comes the news of great activity in min ing circles, and of all the enterprises men tiCned there $ scarcely failure to note when the business has been placed in competent hands. The cattle men also feel that better times are in store for them. The unprecedented losses sustained on the northern ranges last winter has com pelled them to look to southern attitudes for cattle with which to replenish their depleted hGr&s, and Arizona will be called upon 10 furnish large number of cattle for that purpose, and to facilitate matters the Southern Pacific Company has made special freight rates from several points on their hne. In addition to this, DOT tions of the Territory have not received such a soaking for years, insurng abun- dant water and grass, evenf no more rain falls until next winter. Tine agricultural and horticultural interests are also rapidly coming to the front, and when better and cheaper means of transportation are pro vided, the prospects for which are favor able, another great source of wealth will be made available. The bee growers and fruit raisers of the Salt river valley will this year try the experiment. of shipping some of their products to Eastern mar kets, and if the venture proves successful besides the profits reaped, it would be { big advertisement for Arizona and be { means of attracting immigration.

FAIRBANK GONE.
The Flood strikes the Town and Causes Great Damage---The Water StiIl Two Feet Deep and Loss
 Only ApproNimated.
Tombstone rrospceior Aus 5


 It was feared last night that iFairbank would suffer seriously from the flood and news received from there to-day proved the fears to have been well founded James Dobson, who carried the mail down there on horseback this morning return ed this afternoon and reported the town in a most dilapidated condition.
 Shortly after midnight a rOar of rush ing water was heard from the direction of Tombstone and was warning to the people to get out of their houses and seek higher ground, In many instances but a few moments elapsed between the flight of the inhabitants and the coming of the water The volume of the latter was variously estimated and was sufficient to sweep through houses four feet above ground and carrying everything before 1t. At the same time the wind blew a hurri- cane, and the rain although not heavy added to the terror of the moment. Many persons rushed from their houses Tn a frantic condition and narrowly escaped being drowned.
 Most of the women and children sought refuge in the hay in the stage company s stables where bedding was brought and their rest made as comfortable as possl- ble
 Every house in the town with the eX- ception of or were damaged
 The heaviest loss will fall upon Guin- dani, whose building collapsed all in q heap, the roof falling till it reached the goods piled on the floor where it now rests. Tine water undermined the above walls and the crash followed. Several smaller houses were swept out of sight The Montezuma hotel and Dr 1 Williams drug store escaped without any | damage, being on higher ground. l Paul Demartina's store is all right but the water went through it.
 The water was ten inches deep in Me Kay's saloon and this morning six inche' of dirt covered the floor.
 The water was at II o'clock this morn ing two feet deep along the railroad traci and the track or ties were not visible a Hills ranch.
 The work done by the railroad com pany during the past week has been m done, although the track and ties stil hang across the river bed below.
 What has become of the track betweel Hills and Benson is only a matter of con lecture.
 The stage road from Tombstone t Fairbank Is obliterated, aud no evidenc of this once smooth driveway can b found. The damage can not be estimat el with any accuracy, but Is put at $l5 000 by conservative tigurers.

The Harshaw Mines.
Tncson Cillzen

Tucson Citizen.
 While skirmishing around in the mud this morning for stray items, we were for tunate enough to encounter Mir. l.. Hath way. a gentleman identified with. and well posted on, the mining interests of Harshaw. From him we learn that liar shaw Is one of the ivehe5t and best pay ing mining camps in the southwest to- day, and the prospect of boom in this industry looks bright Chloriders are working mines in all directions with good results; there are absolutely no idle men in the camp and every one IS prospering The Hem0sa mine, under the superin- tendence of NIT. Fmlay, is being eXten- sively worked the mill Is busy on ore averaging 9 ounces, and there is at pres ent over 100 tons on the dump There are about 20 men employed in tine mine and F working the mill. The Daquesne ! Mill X Mining Company, situated about 10 miles south of Harshaw, are prepar- Ing to work their property on an exten- sive scale. Among other mines being worked with good results are the Trench mine, under the management Of | Chas Marsden, the Blue Nose. by Jas. Hale, and the Golden Gate by Goode & | Co. These mines are all first-class prop ] titlA'o dtitl RlNG every lDAltdlEIl Ot tilIlttl- ing their owners, Mir. Pathway main 1 tains that every mine being worked in i the vicinity of Harshaw pays well, and some of them are exceptionally rich, among the latter being the ledge of Nel son & Carol, which yields silver ore to | the value of one thousand ounces Der ton. This remarkably rich property is well de veloped It is no fictitious bonanza liable | to peter ont at the next stroke of the pick. l but a we'll defined mine that will yield | rich returns for a long time to come | There are other rich properties in liar i shaw which have laid dormant for some 1 time, which will no doubt be in active 1 operation this fall, and help to swell the mineral output of this camp Indeed, miners, prospectors and mill owners are all jubilant over the mineral outlook of Harshaw The district has long been famous for its rich ores, bat the present indications are that the little camp will assume a metropolitan appearance ere long, judging from the interest taken in the development of its mines.
 HaTshaw is one of the most pleasantly situated mining camps in Arizona. Sit uated on ali elevated platean, surrounded by mountains and famed by an almost perpetual breeze from the gulf coast, il has more the appearance of q charming summer resort than the abode of the rug ged miner. Green crags, mountain nooks and streams abound in every direction, ; striking contrast to the barren, bare anC bleak hills and plains which are the al most universal accompaniments of { mineral region. Sultry days are neyei experienced in the Harshaw district; al average rainfall of one day in the weel keeps the country in an emerald state and sickness Is said to be unknown. Witt such a climate, scenery, and 8 grand min erai region, Harshaw will some day be great place.
