the narrow escape from drowning of a son of MT. and Mrs. J. V. Edwards of Maricopa. This lad was walking along the injured bridge when either from fright, dizziness or carelessness, he lost his balance and fell into the swirling current below. The water was both deep and swift at that point and the boy would have certainly drowned only for an M. & P. brakeman, whose name was not learned. He saw the boy fall and instantly plunged in af- ter him, bringing him safely to the shore.
 Another incident was the overturn- ing of one of the ferryboats or canoes. Beside the boatman there were two men in it. members of a party of east ern visitors who were enroute here on a mining enterprise. One of them was an elderly man and the other was a young man. The boat was overturned where the water was not very deep and the elder gentleman, probably hav- ing had more experience in such mat ters, managed to keep himself right side up so he only got into the flood up to his waist line. The younger man, however, being more impetuous and eXcitable, took a header and went in all over. Both of them testify that the water was very wet, notwith- standing it was chocolate-like in both color and consistency.
