dster him from making such an appoint

 "we reach this place in the evening and have to wait two oays for the steamer. There Is not ploce Tn town it tc keep prisoner of war in, let alone a traveller. The town is, SO to speak, in frog pond, the streets filthy and sand flies and mosquitos make il interesting.
 There is neither wharf nor harbor. The vessels have To anchor in the open sea a mile away, and the breakers are always dangerous. but when took a boat for She ship, they were raging at their worst. running fifteen feet high. 1t was go or put in two weeks, in San Bias 50 l went. Ii took iOu osfsmen and man to steer and cos. four dollars, besides the boat got near ly one-fourth filled with water.
 The vessel we went aboard of is the Pacific mail steamship City of Sydney. It is spleadidly fitted up, with electric lights and bells, and the service and board is all that could be desired.

His Ver>SOn oEEt,

The cattle drive made to Los An gele. by Land X Co. last February. it will be remembered, struck Yuma during the flood which washed the town away.
 W. c. Land told in San Francisco his experience in crossing the Cobra do river with them. 1t Will prove oI interest even at this late day, and will settle many points which have been disputed ones regarding the success of that drive.
 "we were driving about eco head of stock cattle to California" said he, land had struck the Colorado river at Fort Yuma. The river was at flood stage SO we split the drove up into punches oi twenty each. l was get ting the fourth bunch across, and had them about half way over, when there was a tremendous terrifying roar. Lookin, up stream I saw wall of de- bris and drift, forty feet high, coming down like an avalanche. In the few seconds 1 saw it sweeping down, could see that there were houses, cat tie. horses, barns and haystaeks caught in the great mass.
 ''It was pretty close call but we made the bank just in time. As the last steer scrambled up the bank, the frashet rushed by us with the speed Of an express train got word over to the main herd and told the men to drive up the river until they could cross.
 "It was three weeks before we met again, and in that time the herd and the men on line other side had some terrible experiences, s'ruggling through miles Of sand where there was not blade of grass or a drop of water. There was one stretch Of eighty miles without water. Well, al iass we got the remnant of the drove to Los Angeles. They were so used up that great many of them died be fore they got to market.

JIG. McKean returned yesterday from Hsrshsw, where he went some weeks since to haul ore from the Now " mine to the station at CrittendOn. Instead, however, of getting permsn- ent work he hauled but few loads and went down to Nogales. From the latter point he returned to Tomb stone. The Mowry is an old mine supposed to have many thousand tons of good shipping ore on level for which the miners are now making. They expect to reach this bonanza in about ten days when they expect to ship twenty tons per day. Thirty years ago this ore was not of sufficient value to wm k and was thrown on one side and left in the mine, only the highes, grade being hoisted. The mine is being worked by Zeckesdori & Co. of Tucscn and they are sanguine of success
