THE RAINS IN THE NORTH
Mining and Other Industries Bounte' ously Blessed

The dry spell about Kipgman and Chloride, where stoclraising, mining and farming were almost paralyzed, has been dispelled An appalling drOuth was staring the people in the face, but when the rain finally arrived 1t came in such torrents as 10 damage railroad and oth- CT property and leave no doubt that the backbone of the drouth had been bro- ken. Mining has been stimulated. Not only are chloriders and others shipping ere out of the section, but prospec tors are in the hills in full force, mines arc undergoing development, and mills which could not be run on account of the water shortage. are moving again. Here is an account from that section or the effects of the recent rain:
 Last Wednesday morning the town of Chloride experienced one of the great est rains in Its history. The water rau down through the gulch in the lower part of town in a perfect torrent ani flooded several of the buildings. A heavy loaded team tried Co cross the gulch and was caught by the flood, og- eiturned and one of the horses drowned while the contents of the wagon was carried into the valley below. The wa ter took out several sections of the grade of the Arizona and Utah rail- road and repairs have not yet been completed. Hacks run to the end of tn } line. two miles from town. and transfer passengers and freight. Near Mineral Park the water also fell in torrents and teams had to await the subsistence of the flood at all washes running into the valley. Little damags was done osidc from the railroad washout

up in some way This claim jumping is a disGa,e to the American miner and emphasizes more than anything else the laxity of the American mining laws. The calendar of the United statss district court is filled with cases ron this district until it is now as much as a mans life is worth to even walk over on5 of the claims.
 Several shooting scrapes have occur red and gun plays are as common as fist fights in country school yard. The litigation over these properties is so complex that l will not attempt at this time to go into details, except to say that both Gold Run and Alder have been staled and lestaked so often that the ground thereabouts presents the appsarance of an Indian burying ground. Rabbits have become bald headed pumping against the stakes marking eff the claims.
 This promiscuous jumping has reused miners in other districts to act for themselves, with the result that meet ings have been held and local rules and regulations adopted warning these 1 lead pencil ny-up the-creek miners that their presence is not desirable These actions ale having a salutary ef- feet, as claim jumping has greatly de- creased in these districts

There sure iy ought to be enough ground in that country to go round without quar- reling over it, and we would advist the locatcrs to go slow, as lawsuits cost money.-Mohave Miner.
 A 5000 payment was mada the other day by D. Moynahan to Ames O'Connell on the Home Run and other claims on Groom creek. The properties are sAowing up in fine condition.
 F. B. Gage, who is one of the princi- pal owners of the Tombstone mines, was one of the northbound passen- gers the other day. When asked con corning the operations at Tombstone he said that work was progressing very rapidly. They have been sinking new shaft lower down on the side of the hill, and are down about 200 feet and are now cross-cutting for the old lead. MT. Gage has not been down to Tomb stone for a month, but is going 6o"'n there the first of next week to see how things are progressing. With men like F.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED.

Dr. Chas. II. Utter, a prominent phy- sician of Panama Colombia in a recent letter states: Last March l had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had very bad attack of dys- entery. Everything l prescribed for her proved intellectual and she was growing woise every hour. Her par ents were sure she would die. She had become SO weak that she could not turn over. in bed. What 10 do at this crit ical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain's Colic. Chol- era and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected.
