Last Sunday at the mine the use of wood as a fuel was discon- tinued and coal is being used in it's stead. The fuel is shipped from New Mexico and loaded for transfer to the mines at Peoria.

 CONDITION OF THE RIVER-In the past twenty four hours there has been d rise and fall in the river. At no time during this period was the water at such q stage as to do any damage to the Arizona canal or the Appropriators', the work which was
 done since the last break standing the flood splendidly. Yesterday morning
 at the gauging station at the junction
 of the Verde and the Salt rivers there were 96,OOO inches of water passing.
 Of this amount 56.OOO inches were con-
 tributed by the Salt. The rise in the
 river was the result of a rain this side
 of Fish creek. for above there no water
 fell up to last night. An electric storm
 broke the telephone wire to Roosevelt
 at a point above Fish creek and until
 yesterday afternoon about three o'clock
 it was out of use. At that time MT
 Reid of the reclamation offices secured
 connection with Roosevelt and talked
 to w. A. Parish, who is at the dam
 He said rain was just beginning to fall
 at that point at that time and before
 there had been no material rise in the
 river at Roosevelt During the day the
 river fell about half a foot or to about
 75,D00 inches. and this was the condi-
 ton of the river at late hour last
 night. If the rain at Roosevelt is ot
 any consequence, however. it is likely that a second rise in the river will take place today.
