THE SNOW DAM" BURST
The Railroad Reservoir at Williams
 Gave Way Before the Flood.

The railroad reservoir at Williams locally known as the Snow Dam," was broken yesterday under the weight of waters from the melting snows and the heavy rains which have fallen in the mountains about Williams for the last ten days almost constantly. News of the breaking of the dam came to the city yesterday in private telegrams none of which described the extent of the disaster. It was not thought that the whole dam went out but that pos sibly only one end of it was damaged or that there may have been q break from the top only part of the way down. These familiar with the lay of the land there say that if the whole dam had gone out the town of Williams would have gone too and almost certainly the Saginaw mill would have. gone
 The dam was built at the head of Cataract creek. This is really no creek but canyon which never has any water in it except when the SHOWS in heavy rains in the mountains. The structure was 400 feet alongy the crest and was fifty feet high. The work was of solid and splendid masonry and was supposed to be proof against any food It contained CT had q capacity of 110,- 000,000 gallons, three years supply for the railroad at that point. The dam was originally only thirty-fiVe feet high the additional fifteen feet having been put on less than a year ago. Until this flood the reservoir had never been filled
 to its capacity.

MORE FLOODED HORSES
Three Fine Animals Arrived Here
 Yesterday From California,

One more opportunity is given to say a good word for the horse raising in dustry of this valley in noting the arli- val of another installnent Of fine horses for breeding purposes.
 O. B. Fuller arrived here yesterday from his big stock farm in southern California. no great distance from Los Angeles, bringing with him three stall lions for s. J. Mcdonald. Two of them are French Belgians and the other is :, trotting horse of good family. All are registered and are young horses, being about two years old
 AS a result of a few good horses brought here several years ago this valley is already turning out some fast stock and many fine driving horses, New horses are being brought in every winter, and this is at least the third shipment of thoroughbred breeding stock to be added to valley stables this winter. Horse breeders and fanciers elsewhere are beginning to realize that the Salt river valley is a place where horses, like their masters, will wax fat and healthy the year around. The day is not far distant when this part of the country will be as famous for it's flnr horses as for it's fire climate.

is q pretty good showing when it is taken into consideration the long haul to the railroad. Cleve Temple was in this week after supplies for the camp.
 The Dempsey & O'Dea strike con- tinues good-better in fact than was rcported last week. William O'Dea was in yesterday after supplies. If the mag nitude of their find was understood or the strike occurred and was chronicled in any other state and paper the people would go wild and a stampede for the locality follow. Here, however. very little attention is paid to II even by those in the immediate vicinity. The most conservative estimates by careful men placed on the value of the ore in sight exceeds s50,0O0.
 It is reported here that Jack Finn has found a ledge over one hundred feet in width that horns eight or ten dollars in gold clear across. The find is located mile and half sou.h of the Dempsey & O'Dea strike. If this report is true one of the biggest camps in the country will result immediately. Chloride Arrow.

MOHAVE MINING NOTES.

The new pump for the Elkhart mine has arrived and been installed. The electric dynamo has been repaired and operations resumed at the mill, while the night shift, which was laid off during repairs, has been put back to work in the mine. The installation of the big pump insures an abundance of water for the mill and the daily carload of concentrates will be the regular out put now for some time to come.
 We were shown some beautiful gold specimens from the mine opposite Des- crt Station upon which the Keinple- boys are working. The pay streak is small but very rich ard the mine is paying expenses as they are opening it up from the ore it is producing. This

house lawns and flower beds at this season of the year calls the attention of the public to a condition that ought to be remedied if possible. That con- dition is the lack of a proper fence around the lawns and flower beds that are so carefully tended oy the gardener. Some sort of a fence is absolutely neces- sary or the flowers if allowed to grow at all would be picked by vandal hands as fast as they bloomed. In the absence fairly practical construction of wooden posts and wire has done duty for some years. But the lawns and flower beds are kept for ornament mainly and at makes an offset for the beauty of the flowers. It would appear to many read- CTS of The Republican who have spoken about the matter that the expenditure of a sufficient sum to build a modest ornamental fence around the two plats facing on Washington street would not meet with any protest from the tax payers.

OFF FOR MEXICO.-Former Terri torial Superintendent R. L. Long will leave this evening on protracted trip through Mexico. He does not expect to return under six months. His head quarters will be the City of Mexico, but during his absence he will travel cX- tenSively. He has some business inter- ests in the southern republic, and due attention will be given to them, but his trip will be mainly for recreation and study. Having made several trips to the Mexican capital heretofore, MT. Long is already quite familiar with the people and conditions in that coun- try, and this with his excellent know ledge of the Spanish language will en- able him tC see and appreciate much that the average American never sees. Because of his failure to be loqua cious, few of Mir. Longs most intimate friends know that his experiences as a traveller would make an interesting volume. As boy he was in South Africa at the beginning of the diamond excitement, and as a diamond digger he took chances with his luck at the same time Cecil Rhodes and his asso- ci2tes were laying the foundations of their fortunes at Kimberly. He still owrs diamonds which he dug from the Kimberly clays, but it is suspected that he has not so many as have been ac- quircd by the De Beers company.

CLIFTON MINES
Present and Prospective Operations
 at the Coronado.

Work has been commenced on a 50O- f""t skatt on the Sapphire. one Of the claims of the Coronado company, lpor which big sulphide strike was made :, few months ago, says the Clifton Cop per Era. The shaft will be sunk nn the suiDhidr. The main working tunnel which is located further down the mountain, has now been driven 1SO feet the new shaft 600 feet further in Work on both tunnel and shaft will be pushed as rapidly as possible. A tram way will be built over Fl Hoven hill to convey supplies and ore to and from the camp. An incline will be equipped later. While grading for some tents at the camp last week, a deposit of low grade sulphides was struck on the sur face. It seems impossible to sratch the earth in that section without strik- ing mineral values.
 Captain Henry Arbuckle was in Clifton from his mine, which adojins the Antietam, and had with him abou-. twenty pounds of native copper, and |. lot of rich glance and sulphide ore just struck in his property. The mine is OF the same lead as the Antietam, ana from present development promises to rival it as a producer of high grade ore. The captain has the honor of making tho first strike of native copper in the district, the extent of which however, has not yet been determined.
 P. F. Crowley came down from the Antietam mine, and reports the cut ting of a three foot streak of very rich ore on the hanging wall. The vein has now been cross -cut for forty feet, all of which is fine concentrating ore, with several feet of rich shipping ore on either wall. The Antietam is rapidly being developed into one of the blS mines of the camp.
