High Wind UprootS Pine Tree At Derby
 Mine
Communication WithBig Bug District Is
 Cut Off

Prescott and parts of Yavapai eoun- ty that can be reached had a May snow storm last night, which began about six o'clock in the evening. The white flakes fell steadily for an hour, and then at short intervals, between which there was rain and wind.
 Snow this late in the season is the exception here, though oldtimers de- clare that they have seen it as late in the year as July 3, on one occasion al most marring a Fourth of July eele- bration.
 Rain and hail fell during the great CT part of yesterday, the afternoon see ing steady downpour of rain, and then an exceptionally heavy fall of hail, which continued for about twenty minutes.
 Reports last night from the Derby mine west of the city were that a high wind blew in that place, gathering sufficient force at one time to uproot a large pine tree. No damage was done.
 Early yesterday communication with McCabe, and through it the greater part of the Big Bug section, was cut off, the local telephone office being un- able to raise central at McCabe. It is surmised that a heavy storm has ragged in that district, the extent of which cannot be learned.
 From Senator comes a report that snow has fallen. In storms of this kind Mount Union generally expert ences a heavy snowfall on account of it's altitude. No definite reports have been received from there.
 Reports from points north along the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix road to Ash Fork are that the storm has been general, though no damage to railroad tracks has yet occurred.

Major and Mrs E. P. Hotsenpiller
 were in the city yesterday from Dewey on their way to Magnetic Hot Springs, Ohio, where they will spend the sum- mer. For the past ten years they have been spending their winter at Dewey and summers in Arizona. Major 1 Hotsenpilier is developing mining property near Cherry, and has just completed the assessment work on sev- eral claims.
 The city council meets again tomor- TOW evening at which time City En- gineer Nader will have a report ready on the cost of improvements to be made to the south enu of Montezuma street in Goose Flat. It is not ex- pected that anything definite will be doae about the letting of the contract for the Del Rio plant. The water committee is now awaiting replies from samples of crude oil, sent to eastern chemists for analysis.
 In the probate court yesterday Judge Hicks received a petition ask ing for an order to allow Adminissra tor Wm. Neliis, of the Zener estate to enter into bond and contract for an optional sale of an interest the estate holds in mining claims in the Copper Creek district. The hearing of the petition was set for May 9. The ac- count of H. NJ. Gi bes, as admins trator of the estate of D. Challapcin, was allowed and settled, and an order made to pay 95 per cent on claims of the sixth class held against the estate.
 Joe Johnson was twice fined yeste-- day in local courts. He first paid fine of s7.50 in City Recorder Mo Lane's court for disturbing the peace, and then paid one of s25 to Justice Talbot for simple assault. In each case the complaining witness was Martin Testori, who claimed that Johnson disturbed his peace by threat ening to fight him, and after he had been arrested for it made an attempt to assault him on Montezuma street. 1t IS not likely that Johnson will be placed under a peace bond, as he has promised to again molest Testori.
 Gus Johnson yesterday received re- turns on the first assay he has hal made of ore taken from the Hassayam- pa claim, property that he discover ed about thirty years ago, but did not locate until recently. The ore runs S134 per ton in gold, which is causing much elation on the part of Johnson. He has a seven foot ledge on the claim which is located in the Hassayampa district south of Prescott, and the ore assayed yesterday is only fair aver age. Johnson will leave shortly for Montana to look after his interests, and will return later to develop his holdings. He has already completed the assessment work for this year.

Allowing bills took up the most of the time of the board of supervisors yesterday, the accounts of some of the county officials being audited.

The board expects to hold another session about May 15, when Chairman Dave Sinclair will be back in the city from visit with relatives in Los Angeles. Important matters will be left over till his coming.

TOTAL RAINFALL.

Dr. Day, weather observer, states that about twentyseven inches is the total rainfall for the season. During the past four days something like half an inch of rain has fallen. During an experience of thirty years Dr. Day has not observed such rains in the latter part of April and early part of May as have fallen during the past few days. He is of the opinion that this season will continue to be a surprise all the way through.

 Says Was Beat By Masked Men
 A hoist engineer in the city from the Boggs mine, which is about a mile southeast of Huron, tells a peculiar story. He claims that last Thursday night three masked men entered the hoist house of the Boggs, and ordered him at the point of revolvers to leave the place. He did not at first under stand what they wanted, and offered them his money, which they refused to take. They poked him in the ribs, and hit him over the head with their revolvers, doing slight injury. He was asked by Deputy Sheriff Merritt if he cared to make a complaint, and said that he did not. He can give no de- scription of the men, who, he says, entered the place with masks over their faces. He claims that their ac- tions are due to labor troubles.
