MINES AROUND CONGRESS Activity Noted in Nearly All the Camps. Work Progressing on the Fools GuIch Property. Success of the Cyanide Workings al Congress-Notes Of Local
 Interest.

Cons gress bids fair to rival any other camp in the territory in size and business soon. During the sum mer no less than fifteen or twenty res idences have been erected and five or six buildings for stores or business purposes. Other buildings are projected and will soon be under way. The company is building a new warehouse and an addition to the store. The postofice is to have new boxes and more commodious arrangements. Mir Jones. formerly of Phoenix, who has recently come to take charge of the store. is making friends by his busi- ness-like manners and thorough abil- ity for the position he holds.
 The cyanide plant is doing good duty and is making an appreciable hole in the vast hill of tailings. The old experimental plant has been moved to the side of it's greater companion and is also being used to extract the precious metal.
 Lower town is building up as well as the camp proper and it seems as if business was as good there as else where in the camp. Congress is the center of business for a large mining district in this vicinity and the sta- tion always has the appearance of a busy place. Harqua Hala, Santa Maria. Fools Gulch, Stanton and Yar- nell and other mining camps in the vicinity all make Congress their headquarters and the Congress station their shipping and receiving point.
 The Fools Gulch property, recently sold to eastern capitalists for $40,OOO, is giving great promise under devel- opment. A boarding house and other buildings are being erected and if the prophecies of old miners prove true. it will be a large camp before long. The hauling of machinery to the Desert mine has made the roads out that way simulate Salt River valley roads before the rain. Per- haps the rain has wet that country, too, and made the roads better.
 A number of claims in the vicinity are opening up well. Messrs Rees and Holden seem we'll satisfied with several of their claims and are devel- oping them as fast as possible.
 Dennis May sold another claim of HIS HndlnS the Otner day ana ne says it is ringer" Dennis has sold some of the best bonanzas in Arizona and the very fact that he has it to sell is an inducement@ to capital The last mentioned claim of his selling is near Congress. All these claims opening up in such fine shape are fine indica- tion of the character of this region and demonstrate it's claims to be called one of the best, if not the best, min eral regions in Arizona
 The Congress Sabbath school had fine program on rallying day, the school house being filled to overflow ing.
 The day school, under the capable management of Miss Wickham, lately of Dodgeville, Wis, has the largest enrolment it has ever had.

DAMAGED THE DAM.
What the Agua Fria Did on the Great
 Rise.

The great rise on the Agua Fria did damage to the extent of several thous. and dollars to the dam of the Agua Fria Construction company. Five or six feet in depth of new masonry on the west side of the channel was taken away, as we'll as much of the machin- cry, derricks, etc. The total height of the dam is thirty feet, and to this height had been completed the eastern half. resting on rocky island in mid stream. This part stood the force without the slightest damage, though eight feet of water was passing over it. falling below the dam with & roar like that of Niagara. Not stone is said to
