Floods Galore.

The culminating storm of this great storm period broke over Kingman and vicinity last Wednesday afternoon. The rain fell in torrents and was ac com panied by fifty mile wind. With in thirty minutes the streets were run ming rivers of water and the little gulches were roaring torrents. Rail road canyon carried twenty foot flood of water that destroyed the San. ta Fe tracks in places between here and the Mcguire ranch. Two bridges were taken out, and nearly mile of heavy fill carried out entirely. The old we'll below town is destroyed and the canyon swept clear of at least six feet of gravel and sand. At Haviland, where the mass of water converged, several miles of roadway was washed out. The flood of last week had dam aged this part of the road and many places had been cribbed up and trains were about to be moved, when this flood carried out all the new work and much of the old grade. At Crozier re. port has it that much of the canyon has been wrecked. Nearly all the crib. bing is gone and enough cribbing can not be had at once to complete repairs. Two thousand men are at the front working night and day on repair and it is expected that trains will be moved in at least six days. Never in the his tory of the road has calamitous storm interfered with traffic on the Arizona division of the Santa Fe as this month has brought forth.
 In Kingman streets were torn up by the storm, trees demolished, cellars filled and damage done to buildings.
 The Postal Telegraph lost their lines west of Kingman and the telephone compa has several breaks on the Gold Road line.
 The storm lasted less than one hour and in that time 2.10 inches of water fell, making more than five inches fol the month.
