The Colonial Mining Company of Boston
has suffered to a large extent the assay
office, the mill house, powder house and

water. The manager and assayers had
narrow escape, being assisted to the bank
by means of ropes.
The Deep Down Mining Company of Kan
sas City lost their main office and assay
Office. The place Is situated in a deep can
yon. between high mountains The nood
attained height of over eight feet In the
street, and lasted over thirty minutes
Had It so continued ten minutes longer
the whole town would have been swept
away, aS the debris had collected IN the
street, forming a solid wall just as the
flood began to recede. Hardly q business
The wagon road leading up to the noun
tain from the town, which was built
few ears ago at an immense cost. and
which Is the only outlet for freighters, has
been entirely ruined, and all goods brought
into the camp will have to be brought In
on pack animals.
The storm was general to this section OF
the territory.

barely escaped with their lives.
1t Is feared that great damage is done on
the other side of the Mogollen district

~ persons, mostly miners, living right IN
the track of the great wall oil water Ihey
occupied. for the most part, adobe dwell

their occupants cannot be heard from.
Some .of-these may, Eaye been warned IN
time to get out of the way, but 1t is certain
that a number have. persisted. The loss to
the mining companies will be thousands or
dollars Expensive machinery had lately
been put on the mines, and most of this Is
a total wreck.

SILVER'S RECENT DROP.
The Explanation Given by the West
ni12tcrr Gazette.

cNiHer ""@ctte'
LONDON. Aukast 2o-The Westminster
Gazette this Afternoon, in It's financial ar
ticle, attributes the fall in silver to the in
ability Of spectators in the United States
to carry silver purchased with borrowed
money. and the scarcity of buyers. 1t
says: ''+s@f -
THE quantity of silver lying unused in
the banks of china Is large, there being
much less demand for.it owing to the set
back to trade in both China and Japan,
due to the smallness of the purchases of
silk by America and Europe. What the
people are anxious to know is what is the
amount of silver which is still carried by
spectators In the United States. But no
Information is obtainable upoa this point,
though it must be large. The price is now
declining, and the figure may induce more
active speculation both in London and
India"
