Several days last week the little town of Crittenden presented quite a cosmopolitan appearance. On Wednes- day the train from Benson brought in about twenty-five passengers, all of whom were held up in Crittenden by washouts in the Sonoita canon. Thursday morning train made up in CrIttenden started for Benson and when about mile north Of that place was ditched The road had been un- dermined by the water and gave way, letting the engine into the arroyo. Owing to the skillful management of Tom Cleveland, the engineer, the train was saved and no one injured.
 But this effectively put the cork in the bottle. With stopper at each end Crittenden bade fair to hold it's extra population for some time. And quite cosmopolitan it was In char acter. There were two lawyers, Hon. Juo. K. Hessin, distinguished law yer and politician Manhattan, Kan sas, and Chas. BJrman, the we'll known Tucson lawyer; two physi- ciaus, pr. Gallagher and another phy- stefan from El Paso; one minister, Rev. J. H. Heald of Nogales; Collector H. K. Chenoweth and his deputy s. M. Aguirre with their families, Hon. Cein Cameron, Supt. k. J. Gibson, Conductor Budge and others of various pursuits and callings.
 Although their residence in the lit tie wayside town was not voluntary one, most of the wayfarers accepted the situation philosofcally and were thankful that kind fate had thrown them into the hospitable hands of MT. and Mrs. John Smith, who did won ders in the way of providing food and shelter for the crowd so unexpectedly thrust upon them. Two days were thus passed very comfortably and cheerfully. Meanwhile Trainmaster

\ Cloud Painting.

shortly before sunset Tuesday eve- ping, people at HermosillO witnessed hanging iu the western heavens, "ne Of the most splendid and wonderful
 paintings that Dame Natures magic brush ever limned for the astonish- ment and editicatiOn Of man. A great bank of tieecy cloud covered fully half Of the expanse of the horizon, it's grandly curved outline reaching a third of the way to the zenith. Above and around the clear sky assumed cerulean hue sapphire like in it's purity and delcacy. Be hind the great bank of cloud were concealed the sinking splendors of the great orb of day, Illuminating it's rolling undulatiOns and ever changing Impressions SO the entire cloud pre- sented a beautiful and bewildering spread of iridescent hues of drab and gray and brown, shading into one an other with rare effect, and all tipped off with a sheen of gold. Behind aud above the great arc forming the cen ter of the summit of the monster cloud mountain shot up another cloud Of royal purple in color, winch assumed the appearance Of half opened fan, and sat upon tue carved outline of the larger cloud like great crown upon the brow of some gigantic monarch of the sky. Then, peeping above the edge of the larger cloud the full width Of the base of the cruwD, describing an arc of about ten de- grees, there gradually spread a thin line of light which gradually widened, unfolding as it spread all the lrisdes- cent hues Of the rainbow. gradually covering the cro~u as it arose with d thin yelling of mother 0f pearl or abelone. When 1t had 90 yelled the lower half of the crown the later gradually faded away. leaving the arc of mother of pearl standing out in clear relief against the deep azure of the sky for period of several minutes. It was one of the rarest and most beautiful sights ever spread in the heavens to please the sight and arouse the awe and wonder Of the beholder

 At Hermosillo the Sonora railway has done away with the old Y on which all trains turned around to come out of town over the same track they enter from Union station. and instead circle track has been laid around which the train runs to the depot in half the time it took to traverse the Y, with the necessary stops to throw switches and backing up part of the distance. The new arrangement is very great con yenience and has much more style about it.
 Tombstone Prospector: It is re- ported that the Sonora extension of the Arizona x Southeastern railroad will soon be started from the line to Nacosari, Sonora This road will give great impetus to mining and pros- pecting in northeastern and central Sonora, along the northwestern trib- utaries of the Yaqui and along the divide between those streams and the headwaJers Of the Sonora river. There art already many very rich and productive mine being actively work ed in that region, and many others are being developed in anticipation of the building of the road. At Nacosari the Copper Queen company is open ing large group of copper-silyer mines, and have narrow guage road six miles in length and big shelter running.
 Colonel W $. Morrow returned a week ago to his mining work at Mesa Quemada and THE OASIS learns finds his shaft on the Francisco mine two hundred feet deep, showing vein of s9 gold ore over twenty feet wide. The tunnel which will cut the Guillermina mine over one hundred feet deep will be completed in about twenty days. This also shows in the shaft work to be an immense vein of at least ten-dolar ore and the Giant Zodiac, or better known the mountain of quartz rock. is being also developed, experiments showing that it is espe- cially adopted tp the cyanide process. The colonel has arrangements made to meet some heavy capitalists from New York in the near future, and by January, 1899, hopes to have one or more plants iu full operation.
