A Famil,ar Team.

One of the familiar objects of Prescott is the bay team driven by B. II. Weaver. which daily trans ports the mail to and from the depot, in addition to other service done by them in their capacity of an express team. They are fat and sleek despite the fact that for over seventeen years they have done faithful service for their master, Mir. Weaver, who first used them in his delivery wagon when engaged in merchandising, on South Monte zuma street, seventeen or eighteen years ago and later in the express business. MT. Weaver is very much attached to this team and takes the very best of care of them, and he will permit no one except himself to drive them. They jog along at a gait which suits them best and sel- dom if ever do they feel the weight of whip or are they urged to in crease their speed and if good care will accomplish il they will live for another twenty years service, that being their present age.

DIseouragInE Reports From KIondyke.

SEATTLE, Sept. l3.-The steame Humbolt arrived this morning from St. Michaels. She brings fourteen passengers and about $l5.000 in gold. The Humbolt also brings news that the side wheel steamer Elisia Ander- son, from Seattle, is reported lost. The Humbolt brings advices which reiterate the stories of the untold wealth of the Klondyke and Yukon, and verl6es the previous Tumors of shortage of the food supply in the interior. "There will be privation, sickness, starvation, scurvy and even death on the Yukon this winter" is what the returning gold hunters say. Only seven have money, and it is impossible to induce them to say how much, but the purser of the Humbolt gives the following figures: G. 4. Wagner, 800; E. Turner, $500; J. F. Crieder, S2,000; W. Uruquhart, 800; J. D. Rogers, 5000; D. F. Atkins, A.500; Captain J. White sides, A,200 J. N. Zescret, who came back on the Humbolt, and who has but very little cash, says he came on to avoid starvation at Daw- son. Said he: "Thus far upwards of 1,500 have pushed their way over the passes from Skaguay and Dyea and have arrived at Dawson City. The influx of miners over the passes has frightened the old timers in the interior, and all that can command the money are coming out to winter in the states, and thus avoid what they believe will be winter of hard ships, suffering and perhaps murder and thievery."

uRained in Phonix

Phenix was visited by ono of the hardest rain storms of the season last Saturday afternoon, and within a very few minutes the streets of the city were running water, which rose over the side walks in many places and flooded cellars, doing a deal of damage. The rain fell for an hour, and at the expiration of that time, the streets were impassa- ble only m the center of the road it was high. The rainfall during that heavy shower was 29l inches, which was more rain than has fallen in the city at one time for many years. The total rainfall for the month $ 277 in excess of the aver age for the month of September, and to the present time this year Is 1 4.l6 in excess of the average, show ing that Arizona is fast becoming one of the -ainy sections of this country.- Herald.

The cinematgraph made futile ef- fort to repeat, in San Francisco, its brilliant and lurid success at the charity bazaar in Paris, but happily there was an American in charge of the picture machine who could fight fire. The metropolis has narrowly escaped a dreadful disaster, but it was a mighty close call. The cine matograph would appear to be a 6ue thing to perform it's operations in a cast iron building or an isola- ted lot, with the spectators looking on from the surrounding hills. It is a little too gay for the ordinary vaudeville show. Let us be thank ful that Los Angeles has already been visited and escaped unscathed and unscorched-Los Angeles:Tims.
 X telegram from Merced, Cal. says: J. c. Sullivan, Wells, Fargo & Go. shotgun messenger on the Merced and Coulterville stage. ac- cidentally shot and killed himself at Baxter's station between here and Coulterville this morning. Sullivan has for some months been making two round trips a week on the stage to protect Wells Fa-go's treasure from stage robbers. Yes terday on the way up the stage stopped at Baxter's, and Sullivan got out to get some figs from a tree. He placed his gun against the trunk and began shaking the branches within his reach. The gun fell with the barrel pointing toward Sullivan and was discharg- ed, tearing all the flesh from the cali of his leg and shattering the bones of the other.
 There is a good deal of demand on the treasury for small coin. Di- rector of the mint Preston says the coinage of subsidiary silver and minor coins will be continued until a sufficient stock has been accumu- lated to meet the current demand. The available number of silver dol lars in the treasury has been re- duced about $S,00O,000 and it is probable an order will be issued next week for coining into silver dollars some of the bullion pur- chased under the act of 1890 Their coinage will be resumed be- cause they are needed to meet the demand arising from the revivel of business.
