following story Is told by an eye
witness Of the great flood.
"Keystone is tho metropolis Of
the Elkhorn mining country. II
has but one narrow street and be-
cause Of limited space many build
ings were built ON piles or walls
over the Elkhorn or close up against
the mountains. The town follows
the meandering Of the stream for
mile.
"Friday night at II O'Clock the
storm struck the mountain and for
six hours rain descended in torrents.
At daybreak the thousands Of peo-
pie along the Elkhorn and its tribu-
taries realized that great flood was
upon them, but they little suspected
the disaster soon to follow. BY 8
a. M, the narrow valley was rag
Ing, seething, angry torrent.
Houses, barns, bridges, fills, live
stock and human beings were swept
away by the mighty current and
dashed on the rocks or trees below.
81 was an eye witness Of the dis
aster at Keystone, being a guest at
the NationafhOtel. This hotel faces
the mountain, with q narrow spot
between it and the building on the
mountain side Of the street. At the
first warning many Of the inhabi-
tants took refuge on the mountain
side overlooking the town and river.
More than hundred people, how
ever remained in the town to look
after the women and children who
did not escape early. The bridge
leading to the depot was soon swept
away, then angry waters rushed
through the only street in the town
and we found hundreds cut off from
the mountain retreat and the hotel
was made fast to the telephone poles
by means of a line. Hundreds Of
lives were saved. But in attempt
Ing to cross the muddy, surging
waters which swept like an avalan-
che down this street, many lost their
hold and in plain sight of friends
were carried on into the river and
drowned. Houses plunged and
danced in the mighty stream, with
screaming women and children on
the roofs. Horses, cattle and other
animals went down in droves and
singly struggling for life.
s'The Norfolk & Western railroad
fill at this place gave way and more
than a mile of track now lies in the
bed Of the river, while fills on either
side are all gone. In fact, 1t Is hard
to tell how many miles of track and
how many bridges have been swept
away. The destruction Is tremen-
dous to railroad alone, and it may
be days, and perhaps weeks before
the trains can run.
eThe loss of life cannot be esti-
mated from here. Eight lives were
lost here. Six bodies have been re-
covered at Eckman, two miles be-
low here. Several were drowned at
Shawnee and good part Of the
town swept away.
Gall the women were conveyed
from the hotel to the mountain side
by means Of the life line. Then the
men left, as the place was unsafe.
When it came my turn I seized the
line and plunged into the muddy
current. In an instant my feet were
swept from under me and it was the
fight of my life to reach the house
ON the south side Of the street. The
distance was not great and the wa
ter not more than three feet dee p,
but the current was almost irresisti-
BILE, and even cows and horses were
swept by me As I clung to the rope
which was the only hope. Friendly
hands pulled me out more dead than
alive. The hotel Is still standing.n

day he presents himself at big

$50 a month. Times are slow, and
the manager sends for Mr. Joues OF

The Citizen
Changes Hands,

Mr.. Herbert Brown today sold the Ar
iona Daily Citizen and the new owners
will assume charge Of the paper at once.
Mr.. Brown for over two years has been
unable to devote his entire attention to
his paper as the duties of superintendent
OF the terrlt rial prison required his
constant attel ance at Yuma.
Although st arated from the paper in
this wav Mr., Brown has kept in close
touch with his many friends and patrons
OF The Citizen, and he gives up the pa
per with the feeling a man has who
parts from a dear friend. There is
something in the association with a
newspaper covering a period OF twenty
years that makes it an almost human
C 1mpanion-s part OF the owners lie
which touches him deeply to give up.
Mr.. Brown has ALWAYS been loyal to
his home town, The Citizen has worked
six days of the week for twenty years
under his direction for the advance
ment of Tucson, and Mr.. Brown feels
grateful to his friends who have always
shown such an interest in the welfare of
The Citizen. He extends to these his
sincere thanks. To the readers of The
Citizen who have welcomed its coming
to their homes during all these years he
bids, with regret, farewell; and trusts
that The Citizen in the future will be as
welcome as it has been in the past.
Mr.. O'Brien Moore, a we'll known
newspaper man who is remembered by
many of the older residents of southern
Arizons, will be editor and general man
ager of The Citizen, and John II. Behan
will be business manager.
Mr.. Brown leaves the paper in honor
able hands and he bespeaks for the new
owners the kindly interest and support
OF his friends who have generously pat
ronized The Citizen in the past.

that thoug the inhabitants of every

The News
of the Border.

NoGALEs, April 9.-In a way of gen.
eral business this town is sharing the
prevailing quiet, but an intense and all
prevailing interest in mining matters is
manifested on all sides.
The city is full of mining men from
all quarters of the United States-inves-
tors, drawn to the suu-kissed land by
the reports of its vast mineral wealth.
The latest sensation is the discovery
OF vast deposit of antimony ore which
runs 60 per cent pure antimony. The
name of the discoverer is secret as yet
although the claim is recorded. They
are just waiting to see il til ey are to be
millionaires.
A mining deal is on the tapis which
will involve seven figures, but while |
have what consider authentic informa.
ton am not at liberty just now to tell
, what l do know. will report the mat
ter fully in my next.
Just south of us, in Sonora, the coun.
try is swarming with mining men. The
assaying for prospectors is mostly done
here, as We have three offices all man.
aged by competent men.
Lucky Mark Lully and family, with.
out'the bears, arrived home tonight and
were accorded a grand reception. A
band discoursed sweet music while fire.
works rendered the sky lurid. AS
they descended from the train the air
was rent by exploding giant frecrackers.
Mark looks fat and happy and was
warmly greeted by his hundreds of
friends. With him came his brother
John of San Juan, Porto Rico, to pay
Nogales, the beautiful, visit.
| see that the circulation of The Citi-
zen is INCREASING rapidly here. Con-
sidering that this is democratic strong
hold, it speaks we'll for the paper.
