More Damage Done Than Previous Disaster Drowned Though Only Partial List

The flood which visited Clifton
 last Monday night is the worst
 in the history of the town, accord
 ing to reports of the old residents,
 and it will take months for the
 town to recuperate from the severe
 blow it has received. Not only was
 the San Francisco river on an enormous boom, but Chase Creek
 has never before contained such a flow of water as during this storm. There is hardly a part of the town that has not in some manner sui fered damage, and in most every locality the loss has been some thing startling. Many of the new buildings which have recently been erected in Chase Creek and North Clifton districts went down like so much paper, and even those that remained standing are almost all put out of commission.
 Hundreds of frightened people, driven from their homes by the high water, spent the night on the side of the hill around hugh camp fires, while many of the women and children of the town were cared for on the Shannon Hill, which was of course untouched. For two days the river had been rising and the people of the town began early to realize that the town was in danger. The rain fell almost con tinually and this feature made the hardships through which the sufferers were compelled to go. all the more severe. On Monday people could be seen all over town packing their things and moving lout onto the high ground in an ticipation of the coming flood. In the afternoon of Monday nearly everything in the town was closed down, including the works of the Arizona Copper company and the business houses. and all hands were bent on preparing as lest they could for the impending danger. The rIver continued toI rise al a rapid rate as did also Chase Creek, and by dark many of the houses were already out rf commission.
 Pande moniun rrigned supreme. Women and children hung tp each other, crying out and moaning, whilr- frantic men walked along the ~iIes of the stream doing all ih-r coull to save life and proper I.. l'lrtn: shots "f alarm rang iiir. ugh the night aS il warning s,yn amt the noise and confusion that was everywhere evident in the city of darkness above the roar Of the rushing stream, was an exper- fence that can never be forgotten.
 At about seven-thirty, word was received from Morenci of the break ing of the concentrator dam, and the news was rapidly spread.
 The dam gave away slowly and it took fully twenty minutes for it to go so that by the time it reach- Chase Creek, where already the river had gained an enormous size, the additional water from the dam only raised the creek few inches. The heaviest rainfall during the storm fell between six-thirty and eight o'clock and every canyon running into Chase Creek was fill ed with water and while many were of the opinion that the break ing of the dam caused the big rise in the river, this was not the case, as fully as much damage was done above concentration canyon as be- low. and the addition of all the

shoe trade ever since the manufactur-

said such a shoe could not be produced
at the price and allow the factory to
live, but the great output has enabled
them to do so much business that, even
at the small margin of profit afforded,
they have been satisfied, and the wear
err gets a shoe for $500 that for store,
shop, and light outdoor wear has never
been equalled, much less exeelled. Ev-
cry pair is made from plump Durham
