These differences are confirmed by information
from those in touch with the court here that the
Empress. like her mother before her has Wished
to have her condition pass far as posslpe

Queen Victoria was at Osborne after her hTst

IRON SPRINGS
What the People of the Colony Were
 Doing Last Week.

Iron Springs. Ariz., Aug. 9.-(Spe- cia! correspondence of The Republican, There has lately been a considerable amount of unreliable information print ed in some of the Phoenix papers re- garding the healthfulness, amount of rainfall, and other conditions existing here. While the campers do not for d moment suppose that this is done in order to injure the place, still there seems ground for a good deal of dis satisfaction. It is manlfs stly unfair that we should not know that the en- tire camp has been washed away, and that the gulches ale unfordable, until the papers containing the news, ar rive. Also the alarm and anxiety with which a child's parents would read that he was dangerously i'll with mountain fever. when the physician in attendance had pronounced the disease a very mild form of chicken pox, can be imagined.
 It Is true that for a couple of weeks there was a slight rain daily, with only one storm of any violence whatever. The damage done then was almost en- tirely due to the unfinished condition of  the camps. and was easily and quickly repaired. Owing to the sandy soil, one can walk about the camp a few moments after a storm without incOn- venience. As to the sanitary cond- tions of the camp, anyone who has ever visited 1t will admit that they are un- equaled. There have been very few cases of sickness. and these would .lNah lax i,, place, regardless of climatic conditions.
 Several impromptu dances took place this week, which, in addition to the regular Saturday and Wednesday hops, contributed much to the gayety of the week. Those attending the Saturday evening dance. from Prescott were Miss Hart. Miss May Roberts. Messrs. Henry Hamilton. Paul Murphy. Sam

But here I must stay and plug along while the hotness hotter grows, and simply dream of the cooling lake or the mountain covered with snows.

This is an exceptions ally beautiful place and a most enjoy. able day was spent On the return trip a visit was made to the trestla where the train was wrecked about q week ago. The trestle is nearly re- paired. and trains will soon be allowed ot pass ov5r it. Thre are the wr5cks of five freight cars and one oil car with part of the lumber, stone, hay, ete., with which they were loaded still in the gulch. Two of the cars wera washed fully a quarter of a mile from wh5re the accident occurred while four or fiye miles down the creek the ground Is covered with oil and lumber. The cars are total wrecks. the floors splint- cred, wheels torn apart, and the iron work twisted and bent in a surprising manner. Two of the three injured men who were taken to Pr scott are not expected to i've. Near Granite Dells an immense rattle snake was killed by the party, and was proudly borne home as a trophy of the day.
