Mohave County miner., 1905-03-04

Information of terrible accident in the shaft of the Gold Dust mine was conveyed from that place last Wed nes- day night by long distance phone. Oscar Lund and B. D. Y. Beebe, two miners, had just gone to work and were drilling their first round of holes in the bottom of the shaft when a ter. rife explosion took place, the men be- ing literally blown full of broken rock. Beebe was so severly injured that his life is despaired of, one leg being al. most torn off below the knee and his body and head filled with small parti. cles of rock. Lund was injured about the head, face and body, but will re. cover. The injured men were taken to Needles and Beebe was sent to Los Angeles. 1t is thought that the explo. sion was caused by drilling into a missed hole.

Yesterday afternoon one of the heav. fest rains that ever fell in a winter month broke over this section and in side of an hour the ravines were run nipg rivers of water. In the canyon below town several hundred feet of the railroad grade was carried out and all trains are hung up here. The flood of water in the canyon approached closely that of last August, when thousands of feet of railroad grade below Kingman was carried out. The water cut new channel in the lower part of the can. yon, which saved thousands of feet of the grade this side of Maguire's ranch. At Franconia the flood of water did little damage, only @ small washout occurring. The railroad people had just finished getting the grades in the canyon leveled up when this latest flood destroyed all their work. The wagon roads out of Kingman are i'm. passible, the road over Coyote hill be ing mass of boulders that will take some time to remove. The flood there was immense and the damage was very great.

The rainfall for January and Feb. ruary is unprecedented in this county, being 6.25 inches. The year 1884 show ed the greatest precipitation in thirty years, but the rains were light until the latter part of March, when great falls of rain and snow occurred. These storms continued until June. In 1889 torrential storms again occurred, but since that time the winter rains have been very light. Then again the weath- CT has been remarkably mild the whole winter, the thermometer going below the freezing point on but few occas. ions. In the valleys weeds and grasses are making their appearance and it will be but a few weeks until the whole country is looking like 6 meadow.
 Word from Nogales is to the effect that the mining industry to the south of that city is paralized on account of fear of the depredsting Yaquis. The Benson Press notes that many mining men who come out of Sonora op ac count of the Indian scare or had turn. ed back from their trip there were now making examination of the mining dis. tricts on this side of the international line in Arizona. Sonora is a rich min eral country, but the opportunities for mining development and investment is equally AS good in Arizona.

As soon as the Santa Fe straightens out few tangles in the matter of the taking over of the Arizona & Utah railroad the necessary repairs will be made and the road put in commission. It is said that the company contem. plate giving the people up the range the best service they ever had, and the rates are to be so low that ore hereto fore impossible of shipment can be sent 70 the smelters. We hope the TO will soon be Tn operation, as at present the operation of mines in this district is seriously interfered with.
