RISE IN THE RIVER
A Liber al Gift TO the Farmers Last
Night.

If all the alfalfa fields of the valley
the fault viii be other than scarcity
of water. AS a result of the drenching
rain north there was a notable rise
n the river Saturday night and
measurement yesterday morning
showed 10000 mi1ors' inches. This is
the greatest flow recorded within a
year. The largest WINTER flow of
water was 50 900 inches. At that time
it was raining heavily in the valley
and a portion of the river water was
not appropriated TO the canals, there
being limited demand. The great
amount of water in the river now is
not the result of a sudden rise. There
were nearly 10000 inches of water a
week ago. Since then the increase has
been gradual, but in the twerty-four
hours preceding the last liberal rise
there were three distinct rises and
falls. The last one was marked and
the flow continued until last evening.
when it had fallen nearly 0,OCO inches.
At the end Of a week, it is reliably pre-
dicted, there will be 10000 inches and
4 good supply VIII be had for a. least
4 month The average amount of
water recorded for this month, about
10000 inches, is greater than in any
corresponding month in the history OF
the valley, although in 1896 there was
large flow during a few days in
July The capacity of all the canals
in the valley in their present eondi-
lion IS 100000 miners inches, only
10000 inches i'll excess OF the amount
furnished them yesterday morning

dicates to them that the other horses
in the valley have been better treated.
Most of the horses that have died were
young animals and had just been
brought off alfalfa fields or had
never done hard work. A sprinkler,
filed, weighs about 10000 pounds, and
the wagon even after the tank is
empty is no toy. A days labor for a
city horse is ten hours.

eesstye work, over-eating and the
heat combined to cause the deaths Of

resultant malady he called enteritis.
When the city let contracts for
sprinkling two years ago five teams
were worked and still there was com

city took charge of the sprinkling IL
self, and although only four teams
were used, a third mora water was
distributed. This was considerable
saving, but it was realized that the
horses were over worked and another
team was put on On account of
greater demands Tor sprinkling still
another team has been added 10 the
force. But the horsemen hare now

FALL IN THE DARK
J. T. Shuu of Prescott Meets with
an ACCIDENT.

Prescott, Ariz., July 30-CSpecial
Correspondence of The Republican,
Our Iiveryman, MI j. T. Shun, was
returning from the Senator mining
camp Thursday night, quite late. The
darkness concealed many of the sharp
turns in the roadway, even from the
view of the horses, and the carriage
went over a small embankment, seri-
ously injuring Mr.. Shull, whose leg
was broken in two places. The horses
dragged the carriage about three
hundred yards. One horse was killed.
Mr.. Shull was brought home last
night, and has the sympathy of every
one in his misfortune.
The place where the accident oc-
CURED will be known to many by q
great boulder of chimney rock which
stands above the road near a sharp
turn around the point of a hill about
TWO miles from Prescott. A small
house stands half hidden IN trees be-
side the stream, at this point almost
beneath the roadway. The Senator
road is one of our most picturesque
drives by daylight or moonlight, but
a bad place in the dark.

THE HORSEMEN'S VIEWS
Concerning fhe Deaths OF The City
Horses.

There is a general feeling among
the horsemen here that the death of
the city horses recently is due simply
to overwork. The theory Of oleander
poisoning or any other kind of poison
ing seems to them absurd. None OF
the examinations Of the bodies of
these dead horses has revealed traces
of oleander leaves, nor have evidences
of poisoning appeared. The fact that
the city's horses are the only ones il
the valley, so far as is known, that
have died in this mysterious way, is
not thought by the majority of horse
men to signify that their death was
the result Of poisoning 1t rather in

DEVELOPING r REGION
Miners Watching the DeVs Iopmenf
of Black Rock.

Thomas Lynch, the mining expert,
is now in town and will return to-
night to Wickenburg. For more than
a year. representing the Standard Con
tracing company of Cleveland, O., he
has had a force of men developing cop
per locations in the Black Rock dis
trict near Wickenburg and great deal
of money has been spent in examining
the region. The holders of prospects
and miners generally about the Black
Rock district have watched The pro-
gress of his Investigations, and the
result Will determine 10 their satisfac-
ton whether their properties are val
liable
Mr.. Lynch has sunk shafts in pc
culiar formation in the Black Rock 10
cations. There are well defined ont
groupings at one place extending Tor
rs 900 feet, but the indications are only
prominent in places. Surface ore OF
low grade is found in spots along this
formation. Mr.. Lynch says there are
thousands of tons of this smelling orr
which could be mined probably If
there was smelter any place along
a railroad in Yavapai county The
cost then of Transporting ore would
not exceed 81 per ton, but it costs now
about $11 so to send it ITO Pueblo, Colo
This surface ore carries about $40
gold, So in silver and two per cent cop
per.
A shaft has been sunk below this
formation and cross-cuts made under
it. The ore uncovered here, which Mr.
Lynch calls secondary ore, is not 50
rich as that in the first formation, but
would be much easier handled. 1t
would pay to ship this ore only if con-
centrated and Mr.. Lynch says the lack
of water prevents this. According 10
his theory, third formation will be
revealed with depth. Base ore also
will be found there and in great guam
titles. The lack OF water will render
impractical the shipping of this ore
but if smelter is built nearby
any of the ore, it is thought, it could
be treated proftably.
An eastern firm has written to Mr..
Lynch to test his ores. This firm, af-
ter heating representations of the
property, claims it can concentrate the
ore by a dry process. If this is &C
eomplished the mine in its present
condition could be operated at a profit
by taking ore from the second body.

GOOD MONEY Is GONE.
END OF AN ARIZONA COPPER
BOOM.
In Fifteen Years Stockholders Pint Up
$25O,OOO, All of Which Is Now
Lost-Robber of a Mississippi Post
office Is Captured.
Discussions Cause Loss.

A dispatch from Gloucester, Mass,
says: "a copper boom that burst in Cliff
ton, Graham County, Ariz., has caused
loss of $25O,0O0 to the stockholders in
this city. About fifteen years ago COM
pany was formed here to work nine claims
in Clifton. The mines were examined by
a committee of local men and experts,
who reported that they were fabulously
rich, and the stock was eagerly subscrib-
ed, many of the stockholders taking as
large blocks as $4,000 After awhile
dissensions crept into the company, and
two factions sprang up among the stock
holders. Under the mining laws of Arl-
IONA, to hold claim it must be worked
to the amount of 500 each year. Last
year, when the call for assessments to
hold the property was made, but one
stakeholder responded. He put up enough
money to hold three claims, and the re-
naming six claims were jumped by Arr
IONA miners. This year the remaining
three claims were allowed to lapse and
were also jumped by Arizona miners.
This is the end of the $250,0OO subscribed
by the stockholders The mines are said
to be profitable if worked, and dissenslon
among the stockholders IS given as the
cause of the collapse of the venture"

gained further ground since the first of

wheat is found in the good cash demand.

Gomez Accents Spanish Invita- ton.

Gomez Accepts Spanish Invitation.
Both the Spanish and Cuban classes
are giving great Importance to the recent
actions of Gen. Gomez. Particulars nave
been received in Havana OF his recent
utterances at Remedies and Calbaren.
At the latter place he and his staff were
invited to a breakfast given by the Span
ish colony. This Spanish colony is an
organization of Spaniards all over the ISL
and, which sprang up almost spontane-
ously a few weeks before the Spanish
sovereignty ended. Gen. Gomez had
twofold purpose in accepting the invita-
ton, as he wanted to reassure the Span
ish residents in Cuba that his promises,
made during the instruction, would be
kept, and also wanted to impress on his
insurgent followers that they must bury
their animosities. At this dinner Of the
Spanish colony Gen. Gomez repeated that
he had made war against Spain and not
against the Spaniards, and that all classes
should work together to secure payment
of insurgent troops and the establishment
of a Cuban republic. The American Off
Gals stationed at Caibarien were invited
by the Spanish colony to assist in the re-
ception to Gomez and accepted. All the
newspapers attach extraordinary slgnlh-
canoe to Gomez's utterances. The lead
ing Cuban papers fell into line and radl-
cal sheets, which have been advising a
boycott of the Spaniards, moderate their
violence
