The Rain Storm--FiFe at the Old Do:nin- ion---COmInendation of the Military
 Authorities---The Sunday Law.

The rain storm which set in on Thurs day evening continued with only brief intermissions, until last night. The precipitation was 2.62 inches. Pinal mountain is covered with snow. The roads have been rendered very soft, which will bring freight teams to a standstill for a few days at least. The Old Domiu- ion Copper Co. has good supply of coke on hand, but the Buffalo company has very little and may have to close down their smelter for brief period.
 A fire occurred at the Old Dominion Copper Company's works last Sunday morning, at half past o'clock, winch for q short time threatened the destruction of the hoisting works, and which disaster was averted only by the timely efforts of some forty or fifty employees under the direction of Assistant Superintendent ~. $. Berray and Mr. J. Ii. Canavan, head smelter The fire was discovered Tn tho old change room where, probably, some careless miner had left his candle burning after coming off shift. The flames rapidly spread to the tanks close by, cutting off most of the water supply, and to the wood piled around the building, of which there was about 200 cords. That the englne house and other buildings were saved seems almost a miracle, and was due to the heroic work Of the men, and the absence of any wind. The chief loss to the company was the tools destroyed. No interruption of mining will be caused. The company is to be congratulated on their escape from more serious loss.
 The action of the military stationed at San Carlos is most conlmendable. They exhibit laudable desire to assist the civil power in apprehending offending Indians. It was not always thus. During Crooks regency no helping hand was extendedt to the civil power It even went so far as to resist the execution of United States war rants in the hands of U. $. marshals, for the arrest of Indians indicted by U. ;. courts for the murder of white men, whose blood bedewed the wide expanse of south eastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico.
 The four Indians, adjudged guilty of the murder of Edward Baker, and Roscoe Griffith, another ward of the Government "whose skin is not colored like our own,' left Globe on the 9th, and in order 10 insure their presence in Yuma they were securely shackled and escorted by sheriff Thompson and detail of U. $. troops. The quartette were sentenced to ilte imprisonment MT. Griffith was given  with knife Indian lovers will sympa- thize with the Indians in their conhne- ment, and wonder why the white man camps on the red mans track, but they should console themselves that the wheels of weary life will at last stand still when Guadalupe. his two sons and BaS-el-cie will be freed from the round of prlson duty. Mir. Griffith, whose affection for his squaw was in the point of his knife, will again snuff mountain air III '92. | The members of the legislative assembly of Arizona are now elected and will again | be importuned to enact q Sunday law, and while that is the case the representa- tives of the people should bear in mind that it is a principle of this government that all laws of general nature shall have | a uniform operation bearing on all alike not granting to any citizen or class of | citizens privileges or immunltles which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens, not denying to any i person equal protection. Let this rule be carried out and there will Ee no cless l legislation, no injustice, and no ones lights in regard to the obseryances of Sunday be infringed.
 One of the exciting incidents of election ! day in Globe was the mad antics of two beef steers, which had become overheated by injudicious driving. One Of them knock ed man down and fell upon him, near the Belt office, where the steer died. The man was somewhat bruised but not severe ly injured. The other steer charged vic iously upon John Murphy who had hardly time to reach place of safety behind d friendly tree-box. We were told that this steer also died from over eXertiOn.
