 The men at work on ore in the Shannon mines have been laid of temporarily, but those on develop ment were continued.

To Recover narnd6ss.

The people of Chase creek who lay their troubles to the breaking of the dam of the Detroit Copper mining company, where many thousand tons of tailings and water were stored, have held several meetings since the sfiood to devise means for the recovery of their losses from the company. At the meeting held We'd Gatti was elected Chairman and s. J. Forbes secretary. The following committee was then appointed to in terview the company in regard to recompensing the people for their losses: J. c. Gatti, s. J. Forbes, Chas. Henry, Jeff Dunagan, l.. Garcia, J. B. Larazola and A. Spezia. At this time c. E. Mills, manager of the company, arrived and was asked to participate in the meeting, which he did, but no definite conclusion was arrived at On the following day the committee, or part of it, visited Morenci and viewed the dam, and discussed the. matter with MT. Mills, but still with out arriving at any conclusion as to a settlement. On Saturday night an other meeting was held at which the committee reported. Another com mittee consisting of w. F. Hagan, M. w. Neff and J. Backstein was ap- pointed to serve legal notice upon the company that it would be re- quired to pay for all damage done by the breaking of the dam. This com. mittee was also empowered to em- ploy attorneys, if necessary.
 A committee to appraise the losses and to present them to the D. c. com mittee was then selected as follows: H. B. Mcdowell, P. P. Greer, and Hal. Dorsey, with whom claims were sub sequently filed, and were then pre- sented to the company.
 The sufferers as a whole are in fa- vor of fair settlement rather than litigation, but will stand together to the end, even if it be necessary to carry it to the supreme court of the United States.
 It seems to be the prevailing opin- ion that the company will do the square thing, but if not there will be something doing in legal way very shortly.

False RumOrS.

A rumor was circulated this week to the effect that the Arizona Lum- Der company had materially increased the price of lumber since the flood. Manager Backstein denies this state ment most emphatically, and says that although the original price of lumber has advanced several times since the company engaged in busi- ness here, his company has never ad- vanced prices.
 It has also been stated that the merchants advanced the price of but ter and some other things since the flood, which is not correct. The ad- vance was made before the flood.
 People should pay no attention to rumOrS.

Death of Mrs. ThrOm.

The sadest result of the flood and the one that touches the hearts of all the people, who personally knew this estimable lady, was the loss of Mrs. Throm, who perished in the flood.
 When the flood was almost at it's highest E. Marchow, Max Arhelger and Chas. Keppler, under great diff culty, made their way to the Vienna Bakery, and but for their assistance the entire family would have perish ed. The house had then gone down, and MT. Throm was severely hurt. The family were on the oven. Mrs. Throm was asked to remain where she was, but became excited and jumped into the water. It is also said that she was picked up by two men who came floating along on the floor of tent, who cautioned her to remain with them, but she again jumped into the flood, and was never seen again.
 For some years past Mrs. Throm accompanied the bread wagon around town and was personally known to all the women and children in the camp, who feel the keenest sorrow over her tragic ending.
 She was a kind hearted, good wo- man, and had the respect and love of all who knew her. The sympathy of the community goes out to the husband and the two little girls, Mary and Bertha.

During the flood there were many people who assembled at the ap- breaches of the A. & N. M. railroad bridge to watch the mad water tear its way on the downward rush. Pre- sently the approach to the foot bridge caved in, carrying with it a stranger who was lowered in the water to his arm pits and hung on to the ties of the railroad. Distress ing shrieks for help gained for him the assistance of Dave Lloyd and two other gentlemen, who rescued the man from a water grave. He was lifted to safety and after thanking the three heroes went to higher grounds.

The New England and Clifton cop per company's tram railway was damaged considerably, about one fourth being taken away. The Wa gon road from the mine to the ore bins at the foot ot the mountain was washed out by the heavy rain. This has been repaired and ore is being stored in the bins. The old Well $ residence was badly flooded, which is a record breaker in the history of the land mark. It will be some time before the company can resume oper- alton.

and breaking his neck. He must have

can easily protect her babies from the
fiercest of these marauders. The ene-
my most dreaded is the soaring eagle.
There is variety of cactus, prick

large patches, some four or six inches
in height above the ground, and forms
thick mat varying in breadth from
the size of the top of a mans hat to
many feet. 1t is in the center of one
of these patches that the female ante
lope prepares place of safety for her
young. The thorns of this cactus,
while very poisonous and terriblypain-
full to every other animal for some
reason are almost harmless to the
antelope. The cactus may lacerate
her legs, making them bleed freely.

In the middle of the patch with all

out again and repeating this operation
until she has chopped the roots of the
cactus plants to pieces, she loosens

it by paving and digging with her
sharp hoofs. Here she gives birth to
her young in undisturbed security,
knowing that she can leave them in
comparative safety during the day and
return to them at night to give them
suck. Should it be in locality where
eagles abound, however, the mother
does not venture far away. as the soar
