 CONGRESS, Aug. l0- Regular cor respondence. Dave Jones is build ing an addition to his house, and ex- poets his wife and cousin from the east soon.
 John Dalarion is lying at the point of death at the hospital.
 Mir. Buffers new house is assum- ing the proportions of dwelling, and will soon be ready for occu- pancy.
 The recent large additions to the boarding houses give an increased air of solidity to the central part of town.
 Ed. Whinner is building a house just below MT. Prout's residence, to be occupied by his mother in the near future.
 A social craze seems to have taken possession of the young folks, and dances are frequent. Another one is on the programme for next week
 A new house is being built on Navapai Ayenne, to be occupied by Mrs. Hart and daughter, who will come up from Tucson as soon as it is ready for occupancy.
 MT. and Mrs. Herbert Gage think California pleasant, but rather to cool for comfort, and will be back soon from their two months outing.
 School is to reopen in about two weeks, relative of Mrs. Dave Jones have been elected as teacher.
 Church services are taking a vaca- ton along with the parson, who is rusticating at the Grand Canyon. The Sabbath School is still flourish ing, however.
 Judging from the apparent loca- tion of storm clouds of late, Pres colt and vicinity have been appro- priating the rain that rightfully be- longs to Congress. However, as we get the benefit of the subsequent cool breezes, we are not inclined to quarrel.
 A stabbing affray in the lower town Friday night, resulted in a Mexican-Msnuel SeroH, by name becoming a temporary inmate Of the hospital. The more Dellicose of the two parties, made tracks for Yuma, by way of Harqua Hala.
 George Gerargi is building house near Jo. Carli's, and will soon have his family up from Tombstone. His brother Frank is here, and also ex- poets to build in the near future.
 Frank Alley, of Phenix, has recently been installed as steward at the hospital. He is an experienced man, who comes we'll recommended, and will undoubtedly add to the value of the hospital system, which Dr. Hamilton is making so efficient.
 Al. Eaton seems to have taken of his war paint for the present, and as a consequence, the woods around the upper hoist and the dark corners of the mill are no longer inhabited by store clerks and assistant book keepers, and the stout and courage ous hearts of those brave knights are resuming the normal number of beats per minute.
 Everything is progressing finely l at the big cyanide works. and the | dumps are extending their lengthen- ing forms down the gulch in a way | that makes one wonder if there will | be any camp left. No very percepti- ble slice, however, has yet been taken of the every growing dump of tailings.
 New seats have been ordered for the school house and it is expected | that the youngsters will find the thorny road to knowledge m da comfortable thereby. The youu. people, however, are melancholy l over the fact that the new desks are to be screwed to the floor, which hitherto has often been dedicated to terpsichorean pleasures.
 The quantities of building lum- Der, shingles, doors, screens &c., which the freight teams are hauling in, indicate how steady and rapid is the growth of the camp. And not only is Congress itself booming, but the surrounding country as we'll is Hooking up" decidedly. Some very valuable prospects have been located within a short radius of the camp, and it is predicted by those entitled to know that the next few months will bring a good deal of capital into the vicinity.
