The resumption of rail communication with the outside world will probably oc cur today, by means of fourteen mile transfer made with teams between Fort Thomas and Pima. This morning at tho regular leaving time the passenger trair will depart for the south and stut train will leave Bowie at the same time carrying all of the passengers and United States mail, which have aceumu lated at the junction point during tho last three days. At Pima the passen gers and mail for Globe will be loaded on wagons for the fourteen-mile ride tc Fort Thomas and the same performance will be carried out at Fort Thomas witt passengers and mail for the trip tc Pima. This is the program of the Gila Valley road for today and news of its success or failure will be awaited witt considerable interest in Globe.
 Cleared to Fort Thomas
 Word was received yesterday that the track had been cleared up as far as Fort Thomas, the work train arriving there at noon. Wire service was re sumed sono afterward and it was learn ed that fairly good progress had been made with the repairing of the washouts on the other side of Fort Thomas, al though there is still some very bad pieces of track down in the valley be tween Fort Thomas and Pima. It will be at least several days before regular traffic is resumed and if there are more storms in that vicinity, it is difficult to predict when things will be running in their usual manner.
 Companies Not Uneasy
 As yet, no uneasiness is felt by the arrangements of the large mining com. panies in the district owing to the inter. ruption to freight traffic. The com panies are well supplied with fuel and supplies and the Old Dominion smelter has good reserve pile of coke. A long-eontinued delay in the arrival of freight will, however, cause consider able inconvenience.
 The only noticeable result of the washouts in this city is the shortage of butter and eggs, almost all of the gro eery houses having disposed of their stocks of these commoditieA The first train from the Gila Valley will prob ably meet this shortage.

Unless there is a marked diminution in the severity of the heavy rains which have been prevailing along the line Sf tle Gila Valley rad, the pres on. comphrte tieup of all traffic will continue indefinitely. Evtn if yester- day morning \ storm is tht last of the present wet season, it is q, matter of conjecture when the resumption of op- erations will commence. The road is at present in probably a worse condition than ever before in it's histry. The storm yesterday morning was even worse than the one of Tuesday morning that washed out seven bridges and much track. The work of repairing the dam age was well under way, wire communi- cation had been partially restored and it was thought that transfer could be made some time yesterday. It is doubt ful now if transfer can be effected within the next four or five days.
 Yesterday mornings storm did fur ther heavy damage along the line, the worst of which being the destruction of the temporary bridge repairing in almost all places where "cribbing" had replaced washed-out trestles and bridges. A bridge 150 feet long near Gilson, this side of Talklai. was carried away, as were two bents of another be- tween Gilson and Talklai. Work of re- pairing these breaks will begin this morning. One work train went down yesterday, but was stalled on the other side of the washout.

All sources of communication between Globe and the outside world have been cut off. The telegraph wires are down and out, the Gila Valley railroad is out of commission and no one seems to know when there will be anything doing in the way of communication with the remainder of the world. No mail has left Globe since Sunday morning and none has arrived here since Monday night. Neither have any telegraphic messages been received since that time. Some day a passenger train will arrive in Globe from the distant city of Bowie and will be met at the depot by brass band, but how near or far away Shat day is cannot be determined at the present time.

(From Thursday's Daily)


 | It is reported on good authority that the recent closing down of the proper ties of the Ray Copper company at Ray was caused, not by the delay in the construction of the company's concen- trator, the reason given by the company management, but by the fact that an attempt was being made by the Western Federation to organize the men em- ployed in that district.
 Shortly after the convention of the territorial miners unions in Arizona, held in Globe several weeks ago, an organizer was sent to Ray to augment the membership of the Ray union of the Western Federation, which had been recently organized. The shutdown came in less than two weeks after the arrival of the organizer at Ray.
 Company Gives Reason
 The management of tie Ray Copper company and Gila Copper company, which is identical, gave it out to the men who were discharged that the shut down was caused by the fact that the work on the concentrator was far be- hind the work in the mines and that the men were merely laid off until the completion of the mill. Miners who have arrived here during the last few days from Ray claim that they have good reason to believe that the presence of an organizer of the W. F. M. in the district was the cause of the shutdown. They also state that several machine men are still employed by the company.
 Anticipate Union Move
 A great majority of the miners em- ployed in the district are Mexicans who receive from $l to $l.50 less per day than the Americans, who have been paid the local scale of S4 and higher The miners union does not discriminate in its membership and the Mexican miners were being enrolled by the or ganizer. If the mining company sus- pended operations because of the Feder- ation's activity in the district, it was probably in anticipation of demand for equal wages to all miners, by the union, which would almost certainly re- suit.

Operations of Saddle Mountain Mining Company Are Tenn porarily Suspended,
WAITING FOR NEW RATES
 ON FUEL AND SUPPLIES
Additions Being Made to Smell ter-Erroneous Reports as
 to Cause of Closing Down. Have Good Coal Prospects.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Various reports have been received in Globe of the shutting down of the Sad dle Mountain Mining company at Christmas, in the southwestern part of Gila county. One report states that the shutdown was caused by the excessive freight rates and later report is to the effect that the suspension of opera tions was caused by internal dissension in the ranks of the stockholders. The following is from the Phoenix Repub- lican, a representative of which inter viewed Mir. Goodwin, an official of the company:
 Burnett Goodwin of Christmas, the as- sistant general manager, was in the city yesterday on his way to Cape Cod for a month $ vacation, and stated that the company was pushing work and turning out about the same quantity of ore and copper matte as usual The company will, however, close it's shelter about the Fist of the month, at which time the supply of coke will be exhausted. On the 26th of the aonth the new rate on coke will go into effect, being $l higher than the former through rate previous to the change of management of the P. & E., but about $4 less than had been paid during July. As soon as the new rate goes into effect cars of coke will be ordered for the Saddle Mountain Mining company, and as it takes about eleven days for a shipment to arrive from Raton, N. M., the smell ter will be closed for perhaps two weeks. During this time, however, the company will take advantage of the opportunity offered to carry out some plans that have been contemplated for some time. The temporary shutdown will enable them to put in the new jackets in the old furnace, which will not only make it practically new one, but will in crease its smelting capacity. Thus the shutdown is in way great benefit for the future working of the mine. At the same time, says Mr. Goodwin, de- velopment work will go on and ore will be taken out.

Fine Coal Lands

Speaking of the coal lands in that district, Mr. Goodwin said that fine coal lands had been prospected and taken up along the Gila river four miles from Christmas by prospectors, where the croppings of coal showed up for two miles and in some places good veins were found within sixteen feet of the surface. One outfit is doing some work and showing up a body of coal seven feet wide, nearly an anthracite. No tests have been made on this coal except as used in the forges of the prospectors. This is greater field, thinks MT. Good win, than Pinal lands, which have re- ceived more attention and all the claims have been taken up. The field is cross ed by the railroad and that solves the transportation question. The extent of it is about three by one and one-half miles, and it may solve the fuel prob lem at some time in the near future.

All Wires Down

At the offices of the Gila Valley road 1t was impossible to ascertain last night the full amount of damage done by yesterdays storm owing to the carrying away of the telegraph wires. Since early in the morning communication could be had only as far south as Talk Tai, twenty miles from Glote. A tele- phone message was received from Su- perintendent Mallard, who is at Fort Thomas, last evening. The superintend- ent stated that all of the work done on the washouts south of San Carlos and Fort Thomas had been carried away again and that there were several new washouts to contend with He also re- ports that the cribbing had gone out at the large bridge near Nachez and it would have to be done all over again. Four miles of track between Fort Thom- as and Pima was completely washed out.

Had a Good Month

July it is stated was bumper month at the mine and good grade of copper matte was obtained. It was in fact one of the best months in the year and had it not been for the increased rate on coke the company would have made some money. Unfortunately the increase in the cost of production was 63 cents per ton by the higher rate.
 All development under the new man agement has been done on the contract basis. The force has been reduced by 150 men at the mine. About seven cars of matte are being shipped month. Down on the 120-foot level in drift has been struck good sized body of ore higher in sulphides than in the Keigel stope. The Las Novias stope at the 300-foot level continues to furnish high grade sulphide ore for the smell ter. Six months ago change occurred in the proportion of carbonate and sul- phides used in the smelting. Then it was three of the first to one of the sec ond, now about ratio of two of sul- phide to one of carbonates is the rule.

Is the Worst Ever

The Gila Valley railroad is suffering with the worst drowning out it has ever been subjected to by the uncomfortable and likewise irregular elements. Small bridges and trestles have completely disappeared, embankments have been washed away and stretches of track have been twisted out of shape or turn ed upside down. According to Super intendent Mallard it would make tee totaler think he had the Brooklyn Will lies to take look over some parts of the road.
 The rain is supposed to have begun falling at O clock yesterday morning. At some points along the line the fall must have been equivalent to a cloud burst, judging from the havoc which was wrought. The worst damage was done south of San Carlos, the other side of the Gila bridge, which, strange to say, is still occupying it's old position.

Gila May Go Out

Nothing could be learned from San Carlos, which is cut off from both sides by the loss of wires. Considerable uneasiness is felt at the local offices of the railroad company, as it is feared that the bridge over the Gila would go out, if it has not done so already.
 Superintendent Mallard and his corps of assistants are bending every effort to get the road in shape for traffic again but even the most sanguine believe that there will be no attempt to transfer passengers and mail until early next week, even if there are no more heavy rains.
 The damage to the railroad and West ern Union wires from yesterday s storm must have been great, as the linemen had almost the entire day to repair wires without any noticeable effect of their labors in this city

Nearby Washouts


 The rain was evidently very heavy a short distance south of Globe. Eleven miles from here the same trestle that was washed out on Sunday suecumbed yesterday morning. Two miles south a bent in another trestle that was crippled Sunday again disappeared. Then there were smaller washouts between Rice and San Carlos.
 Two miles south of San Carlos, where the old line unites with the newly con structed road, which was considered im- pervious to floods, fifteen feet of track and the embankment eight feet high were washed out. Then there were few more minor washouts. At the ST. mile post the heaviest damage was done A trestle between two deep cuts was undermined. The waters evidently flooded over the trestle, as large boul- ders were deposited upon it. The tres tie was partially filed with sand and gravel. Two hundred feet of embank- ment was cut out and 266 feet of track was turned bottom side up by the flood. Some of the track was standing on edge with the ties suspended and in all about 300 feet of track was put out of busi- nes sat this place.

Cut Filled with Dirt

Seven miles south of this point a deep cut was filed with about six feet of dirt and debris, the water having cut a channel along the top of the hogback" !" or ridge into the cut. From Fort Thomas to Matthewville several small bridges are out and about five miles of track is badly washed out in places. An extra gang and crew of carpenters are at work on the other side of Fort Thomas and about 100 men are working on this side of that point. A freight train headed this way is at Fort Thomas and another crew is stalled somewhere in the vicinity of Stafford.
