ARIZONA FLOODS
Not as Large as Some Others But
Much More Tricky.

Though Arizona has no big rivers
with big cities on their banks so she
can get up a spectacular flood story
like Topeka or Kansas City, sac keeps
her end up in the way of the spec
tacular with very creditable energy.
Whenever she isn't suffering with
drouth she has floods on her hands,
and while they are not big ones they
make up in number what they lack i'll
size. During the present season Will
Hams, Jerome, Clifton, Prescott, Bis
bee and Fairbank have all had flood
scare and dozens of small settlements
and mining camps have been up against
it for all they are worth. A few days
ago man named Sullivan had his
whole plantation washed away in
Yavapai county, and there have been
other similar incidents in the north.
while the mountain tourist who lays
down to sleep in a sandwash nearly al
ways has to hunt high place before
morning.
A few days ago DR.. Baum of the Cop
per Queen staff and Joe Parmalee were
driving from the Huachuca mountains
to Packard siding in Cochise county.
In attempting to cross the swollen San
Pedro river they got stuck in the quick
sand, the horse kicked loose and left
them in the buggy settling slowly to-
ward old man McGinty's place. A
miner named Pat O'Dorneu rescued
them.
Another party of ladies and gentle
mon returning TO Bisbee from the FL
Tigre mine in stage coach narrowly
escaped drowning in q flood that came

have thrown him down"
Last Saturday night Murphy was
shaved in a. shop on East Twelfth
street. The barber cha -ged him five
cents for removing the lirsute growth
that rubbed the gloss off his collar.
Murphy refused to pay it and advised
others to resist. Then. because Patrol
man Crane would not arrest the barber
for cxortion Murphy became noisy and
was himself arrested. The shave, face
and neck, and the remarks. cost him
exactly $6.15 by the time he got out of
police court-Kansas City Star.

The Black Rock Mlnes.

The Black Rock company's claims near Jerome have meet all previous expectations. The company has been at work for the past few months with a fifty horse power hoist, and have good sized camp established.
 They have couple thousand tons of rich copper. ore on the dumps taken from the main shaft, which is now down about 145 feet on a vein of ore varying in width from to 8 feet, as- saying from s2O. to $SO. per ton. The main value being in copper, though good values are realized in gold and silver.
 A 100 foot drift is being run into the mountain along the vein, and a shaft is being sunk at the same time.
 The company are now making pre- paratiOns to put up machinery on another group of fourteen claims about fifteen miles south of the group in the Jerome mountain, as they claim that this group has made a wonderful showing as far as it has been worked. There are ore centers, lodges, veins and kidney ore found all over the claims. Two shafts have been sunk, sixty and seventy-five feet, and rich ore was taken out, but work was stop ped here to develop the other prop erty.
 The company is composed of hon. Orable men who are above stock job ping schemes, which have been so common in the past, and who have directed their energies to the develop ment of their holdings.
 The whole section surrounding these properties is rich in good paying mines: which have started with a very much poorer showing.

ANTIQUE BELL PUT TO USE.
SPANS h-PhiIippine CuriO Calls
LabOrers to Lunch.

A large copper bell with a romantic
history covering nearly 200 years has
been put to the plebeian purpose of
calling the men to work and to lunch
in the government propagating gar
dens. south of the Washington monu-
ment, says a special dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press from Washington.
The bell was found in barrel packed
with straw when the quartermaster's
warehouse in New York was recently
cleaned out. 1t had been shipped from
the Philippines on a transport with
some other relics and forgotten.
Colonel Bingham, superintendent of
public grounds and buildings, heard OF
it and ordered it shipped to Washing
ton. The bell was cast in Spain in
1908, as is shown by an inscription on
it. and sent to the Philippines, where 1t
solemnly tolled the hours of prayer in
a monastery. A century or so later 1t
was removed and was found with 9TH
er government possessions and taken at
Manila.
