conception of the terrible storms that have devastated the Atlantic coast for the past three weeks.
 GARLAND WILL REFfRE.=1t has Deen known for son1e time that che Southern Pacific Railway company was largely intersted in the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad, running from Bowie, a station on the Souenern Pacific, to Globe, and which has just been completed. It is stated at the offices of the c. V, c. 6 N. iu Los An geles that Oil Jahuafy 1 the smaller Iroad will be absorbed and managed by the Southern Pacific. William Garland, who built the road and has been man. aging it for some time past, will retire from active participation in it's affairs.
 WHAT TO EXPECT.-"Mining in a small way is at a standstill just now, said prospeet6r who was driven down into the valley by the snow, but, mark my word, there will be sonie big strikes made before spring There are great many places in Arizona where prospec- tors have not been able to work for a long time because there was no water | in the tanks. Inc storm fixed that for us, and as soon as it warns up bit we will get away from the alfalfa fields. and then you will hear some news to put in your paper that will startle the world. The big strikes are not all made yet, and if you will stop and go back few years you will see that the most important discoveries are being made in these later days"
 GOING TO MExICO.Mr. H. H. Lo- gan, of this city, last week took the sec ond delegation of the Cherokee and Delaware Indians to visit the lower Ya-

Porter, Tom Buffalo, James Will son, s. Secondyne, Adam Wilson, James Young, Jim Walker and John Jackson. MT Adams is the representative of the Delaware Indians at Washington, D.

The party impressed those 'wfthS whom they came in contact as gentlemen of substantial worth, and if they conclude to locate in Mexico they will build up productive ranches in the rich valley of the Yaqui river.
 THE BALL GAME.-If the Prescott  park yesterday, they would have found the Phoenix boys in condition to give them a game of ball which would try their best mettle. The Phoenix team is much stronger today than it was when the Prescott-Phoenix series of games were played. They gave the Tempe aggregation a good drubbing without half trying, and if it was not for the excellent work of Guy Collins in the box for the Tempe outfit TWO figures would not Ihave told the story of the runs made by the home team. Collins has the making of a good pitch 1 er, and his work in the box yesterday would have been effective if he had | been supported properly by the balance of the team. The catcher for the wis l itors showed skill, but Collins's speed i caused some errors on his part which l ] better pitcher might also have made. | Jones, for the home team, held the wis | tors down to but few hits, and when | he leather was found it seldom got be- | rond the bases The Phoenix boys are | n condition now to put up first-class | 1all, and when the Prescott team comes ! again they will find the home boys full 1 ,f ginger. The score yesterday was 19 o for Phoenix.
