 A sudden change in the weather lsft night about 9 o'clock, when a cold wave struck this sec tion. The change was the most sudden that ever occurred here.

 It seems us if the parties now at in the San Juan gold fields think that there is gold there. 4 tele- gram to our contemporary dated at Denver says that "terrible fight yesterday near the San Juan gold diggings over certain placer claims. Forty men partiei- pated, and eleven of them were killed and a dozen wounded Geo. Ferguson and James Eddy, two Dld Arizona prospectors, were among he killed" No one in this section .eems to have heard of either of the Arizona prospectors named in the telegram.
 The concert given last evening 'or the benefit of tLs Catholic ,hurch was we'll attended and was a very ereditable affair. It was un- Ter the direction of Prof. La Guar lia, of Whippls.

Prof. La 5uardia rendered cornet solo Of his own composition entitled "Sou- fenir Polka which was especially sOod and received a rousing encore. Mrs. G. 4. Swan sang "The Waiting Heart" in her usual sweet voice. The concert was success in every particular.
 Our contemporary says that it obtained those water figures from ihe city engineer. The figures re rerred to were to the effect that the daily consumption ef water now Is 5000. The tax payers of Prescott. who have been paying for the sup port of this ''big white elephant Inc city water works, will strain every muscle in their epiglottis in an attempt to swallow this state ment whole, as it means that our water works are now on a Self-sup- porting basis Dnring the summer months when grass piats and trees were being irrigated from the city water works the revenue derived from water rarely exceeded S2O0 per month. The consumption of 30,- 00O gallons of water per day means a revenue of Sl0.50 per day, or S3l5 per month. As this is considerably in excess of tho revenue derived from the water works even in the summer months, tax payers will be delighted to know that the con of water Is 5000 gallons per day.I
 Our contemporary reports that 45,O00 gallons of water per day are being pumped from the city well. With all due respect to the veracity of our contemporary, and with all due respect for the estimate of the party or parties giv- ing out the information, the JOURNAL MINER is skeptical in regard to the statement. 1t will wager the chances of its editor being retained by Cleveland, as register of the Pres colt land office, against those of Bob Connell being reelected as city councilman when his term ex- pires, that there is no such amount of water being pumped, and that the consumption is not 5000 gal lone ,,o, 1.,- and furt bar that fhere
