 CHA COUNTY FLOODS. - The rains of last week were very. severe in Gila county, according to the Silver Belt, and with the melting of snow in the Pinal mountains the floods in | all the streams were unusual. It is | said there was Q precipitation of about ! two inches over a large part of the 1 Icounty and Pinal creek and it's tribu taries were raging torrents. Very ! little damage was done in Globe out side of the washing away of the tenn porary jail, but nearly all the roads ] leading to Globe were impassable for two or three days. except to horse
 men. Ore wagons from the surround 1 ing mines, hauling ore to the Old Do miniOn smelter were begged down and had to be deserted. There were number of narrow escapes but no lives were lost. It was reported that the smeIter would have to shut down but the report seems to nave been errOne- ous. There were numerous small breaks in the roadbed of the GiIa Val ley, Globe and Northern line that stopped traffic for a day or so, but the San Carlos bridge over the Gila stood the test. although for a time it's de- struction was threatened.
