SERIOUS SITUATION CONFRONTS
THE RAILROADS IN ARIZONA
Washouts Cause Complete Traffic Cessation
on the Santa Fe---Same Conditions
Exist Between Prescott
and Phoenix.

The storm which commenced on
Thursday morning broke on Friday
night about midnight temporarily,
but continued again during a part of
Saturday.
For about a half or three quarters
of an hour before ceaslng on Friday
night, there was heavy fall of snow.
but on account of the ground being
very wet it melted nearly as rapidly
as it fell.
When the weather cleared up at
midnight there was fall of several
degrees in the temperature and Sat
urday morning the side walks were
covered with ice.
Saturday was cloudy with occasional
showers and snow was reported falling
in the mountains. The total rainfall
during the storm, as reported by
Weather Observer DR.. ". f. Day last
night, was g. 40 inches
The precipitation during the Janu-
airy storm was 4. 90 inches making a
total precipitation for the winter of
eight inches
The heavy rainfall added TO the
melting SHOWS has caused serious
washouts to the railroads. The condi-
tions existing on the Santa Fe we're
told in an associated press telegram,
from Kingman in the journal Miner
on Saturday morning.
On Saturday, washouts we're report
ed on the line east of Albuquerque so
that there is a complete tie mp of
traffic on the road. East bound trains
were able to get as far as Needles
where they have been held. The west
bound limited which was derailed on
Friday morning got as far as Kingman
where it is being held. Four west
bound trains are now held at Ash
Fork, while other west bound trains
are held in New Mexico behind the
washouts there.
In this present emergency the Santa
t'e is unable to detonr its trains over
the S. f. P. & z. road, as during the
washout troubles of last summer, as
that road has troubles of its own.
The south bound pa ssenger, which
was held in Prescott on Friday night,
on account of the freight wreck near
Ramsgate, did not get away from here
until $50 on Saturday morning and
was then unable to get through tC

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

While the Poland company is unable
to run their mill at present on ac-
count of the recent burning of the
Val Verde smelter, which was treating
its concentrates, active work is in pro-
gress in the mines. The drift from
the tunnel on the Poland ledge is in
about 300 feet and in going this dis
lance good ore bodies have been en-
countered. A drift is also being run
on the Accidental ledge on the Lynx
creek side of the mountain from the
tunnel and fine body of excellent
ore has been encountered in it, also
on the c. o. D. ladge, which is near
the Accidental. The drift on the Ac-
cidental, at the tunnel level, is from
$40 to $50 feet deep, and Superintend-
ent Martin expects soon to commence
an upraise from the drift to the old
workings of the mine. He also in
tends soon to commence a similar
upraise from the c. o. D. mine to the
surface of that property. The burning
of the Val Verde smelter has proven
quite detriment to the cl,.ations of
the company.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 4-Inter-
est in the i'll starred attempt to cap
ture Sandepas is eclipsed by the with
drawal of Gen. Gippenberg and the
uneonfrmed reports of the retirement
of Gen. Kuropatkin.
According to the latest information
received here by the war Office, the
operations on the right flank of the
Russian army are at a standstiu. Ap-
parently both sides are unable to
move on account of the terrible
weather
There are - degrees of frost, ac-
companied by wind. but in view OF
the sudden fluctuations of temperature
at this time of the year the frost msy
suddenly decrease and the Russians
would then be confronted with the al
tentative of withdrawing, in order to
avoid being intercepted by the .Iapa-
nese column from Shilikhe, or of IN
dertaking a general advance. The
latter view finds some confirmation in
a dispatch to the associated press re
porting a reconnaissance by Gen. Rem
nenkampfs force on the Russian left
which perhaps is preliminary to an
advance.

Heavy Rains in MOhave County.

The west bound limited train on the
Santa Fe was wrecked on Friday at
point about three miles east of Yampai
and twenty miles west OF Seligman.
The wreck was caused by broken
rail but most fortunately no lives we're
lost and no one is reported seriously
injured. As a result of the derail-
ment however, traffic was interrupted
for several hours
After getting the track clear and
the train started again on its westward
journey it was delayed again at King
man by a washout west of that place.
The east bound limited and the

hours by this washout. although it

streams we're still rising and the pros
pect was anything but encouraging
towards getting train through today.
Information received from the llne
of the Santa Fe was to the effect that
they hoped to have trains moving to-
day but the situation was not very en-
couraging for entertaining this hope.
The south bound freight train from
Ask Fork arrived on time yesterday
but was annulled south Of Prescott
and the north bound freight left Pres
colt on time.
The Poland train was delayed in
making its trip yesterday, and in fact
was unable to get thorough, returning
to Prescott about 3 O'Clock. This
train will be annulled today and the
Crown King train which leaves on
schedule time this morning will be
the only one out this forenoon ans
will only run as far as Middleton on
account of rock slides on the noun
tain side between that and Crown
King.
The Phoenix and Eastern road has
suffered as severely if not more so
by the present storm than it did in
the January storm. Both bridges
across the Glla are damaged again
and partially destroyed, the work of
repairing the damage from the other
washout having been only complete
few days since, and traffic beyond
Florence is again suspended.

master II. c. Storey, who we're max
ing an official visit over the road we're
caught by the storm at Winkelman
and the rumor was current around the
railroad offices yesterday that they
were thoroughly disguised with rail
reading and were arranging to put

was in Los Angeles on visit, was also
caught by the washout on his return
trip and is detained at the Needles.

still rising. A report was also receiv-
ed last night that the New River
bridge was in great danger of being
washed out or at least of being seri-
ously damaged.

thrown from their berths, but none
we're seriously hurt.
Railroad canyon, where. so much
trouble occurred last summer from
washouts, is again washed out and it
will be several days before trains will
be running through it. All west
bound trains are held at Ash Fork and
east bound at Needles. Two heavy
fills are entirely gone, one twelve
hundred feet in length and the other
five hundred feet These fills will
have to be cribbed up, as shoofiying
is impossible.
Rain has been falling here since
early yesterday evening and today
there was a heavy downpour. The
valleys and ravines are awash and
freighting and staging is at a stand
still.
This is the first heavy winter rains
this country has had in years and the
whole country is sodden. Two inches
of rain fell during the storm. This
afternoon the Gold Road stage in eros
sing canyon below here was over
turned by the rush of water and two

opened up magnificent ore shoot CT
similar character and values to that
developed in the Leghorn. The main
tunnel on the BugIer has reached a
length of $50 feet. An upraise from
this to an upper tunnel, a distance of
40 feet is all in ore thus showing the
mineral up on all sides and blocking
out many thousands of tons. A Wine
is also sunk in this lower Bugler tun-
mel at point 245 feet in and has fol
lowed the vein down being in high
grade ore at this time. The character
of these ores is a chocolate colored
quartz carrying much iron, the values
being mainly in gold, with a small
percentage of silver.
While no mill tests have been made
this would appear to be an excellent
milling and cyanidng proposition and
as development has now reached the
point of justifyiDg reduction work
tests will be made at an early date to
determine the best and most econom-
zeal methods of extracting the values.
An ample supply of ore is now on
the dump and blocked out to keep
plant of fifty tons daily capacity
grinding for an indefinite period and
by the time machinery can be install
led they expect to require plant of
one hundred tons daily capacity.
The Gold Lode company recently pur-
chased the Sessions ranch which takes
in the valley one and half miles
below the mines and has an ample
supply of water for all purposes and
furnishing an ideal location for big
reduction works. 1t is all down hill
to this mill site and the ores will be
transported directly to the mill at
very light expense.
Mr.. Burmister expects to see the
Gold Lode property adding its bricks
of gold bulliont to the Prescott market
before the end of this year.
