HEAVY RAINS ADD TO
 TROUBLES OF THE COLD.
Floods From GiIa and Salt Rivers Are
 Pouring in-Much Damage Done.

The heavy rains now falling are further complicating the serious situation upon the lower Colorado. Floods of the Gila and Salt rivers are now pouring into the larger river, which washed away ten bents upon the new trestle from which it was expected to begin dumping rock soon. This will cause delay in the work. As the time for closing the break is already limited, this renders the situation more critical. It is be- coming daily more apparent that un- less the government comes to the rescue, the situation will be hopeless for residents ot the Imperial and Coaehella valleys. Nothing but most desperate measures can control the Colorado river before the summer floods, and then it will be impossible to control it. There is no menace to the lives of people, but unless the river Is conquered, the country must become untenable for ten or twelve thousand residents.

Millions Are Starving in China.

Owing to the excessive rains and the consequent failure of crops, famine in the northern portion of Anhul province, in the eastern part of Honan and in the whole of the north of Kiang Su is worse than at any time during the last forty years. It is estimated that four million per sons are starving.
 Tens of thousands are utterly desti- tute and wandering over the country. The danger is increased by the activity of the secret societies, as the wanderers are gladly joining them to obtain rice.
 About 5O,OOO refugees have reached the vicinity of Ranking in a pitiable condition.
 The authorities are unable to cope with the situation.
 A Kansas physician lost a pocket book containing a comfortable sum of money. The other day he re- ceived the empty wallet bearing this note: "Doctor, please fill this pre- scription agaln."

Horrible Details of the LinchO YaQui
 Massacre.

Details of the massacre at Lencho station, in the Yaqui river country, by Yaqui Indians have come into Nogales little by little during the past few days. To the few who escaped the experience was one of horror, as from their places of con- cealment they witnessed the brutal tortures inflicted upon their unfor- tunate friends who fell into the hands of the sayages.
 Of the eight persons killed two were women. One was thrown upon the ground and while yet alive was disemboweled, and her unborn child, almost cut in twain, was laid across her face while she still writhed in agony. The other was pinned to the ground by crowbar driven through her abdomen, and while yet she struggled feebly in her death throes, boards were piled at her feet and set on fire.
 The men, too, who were killed were treated with extreme cruelty and brutality. The tents of the workmen were burned and provisions clothing guns and ammunition taken.
 Two young Mexican girls were car ried away captlves by the Indians.
 Station Agent Thompson and wife escaped by hiding under the floor of tent house, which the Indians set on fire just as they were leaving, when frightened away by the ap- proaCh of the work train
 The attack occurred about seven o'clock in the evening, and it was only the darkness of the night that enabled any of the residents of the little settlement to escape, before the firing of the tents lit up the scene of the massacre.

I7,OOO,OOO Russian Peasants Starving.

The minister ot the Russian in- terior, fearing that the grain con tracted for with the firm of Lidval, for the famine stricken peasants would not reach it's destination in stipulated time-the 18th of this month-has purchased a supply of 4150 trucks of grain to be delivered at the various specified railway stations. Apart from this the gov ernment authorities are buying grain for food and seed to be distributed all over the country. Half the sup plies ordered for the starving peas ants do not reach them. It is stated that seventeen million peasants are on the verge of starvation.

THE OUTLOOK FOR COPPER.
Average l906 Price Not Far Under 20 CentS---GOntinuance Promised of
 Ma6nifiCent Record.

Boston-A representative of one of the largest copper concerns in the country says: "The year ended brought to a close the most memora- ble F months in the history of tEe copper trade. Prices have attained record levels (war times alone ex- cepted), production is near the high est ever known, while consumption has exceeded all anticipations.
 "Sales of the metal have been enormous, and it can safely be es- timated that the average price for Lake and electrolytic copper for the year will not be far under the 20-cent mark. October was undoubtedly the banner month for volume of actual sales, and was exceeded only once. January, 1901, when upwards of 3OO,- OOO,OOO pounds of copper were sold.
 "The next years production of the metal in the United States will proba- bly not increase much over the proba- ble per cent. gain to be noted for 1906. The Nevada field will probably not become a factor in production until 1908, when it will be badly needed, while Utah towards the end of next year may show a lively in crease.
 "Consumption, on the other hand, cannot show very large increase, as the manufacturing plants now using the metal are running to their utmost capacity.
 ''I do not look to see the metal sell under 20 cents during the entire 12 months of 1907."

The past year has been marked by the greatest amount of railway con- struction in eighteen years. There were constructed during the last twelve months total of 6,064. 40 miles of road. This is the greatest mileage since 1887, when nearly 13,- 900 miles of road were laid. The record of 1887 might have been sur passed or equaled had it been possi- ble for the railroads to obtain all the labor they desired.

DID NOT FORGET HIS PROMISE.
W. B. Thompson Presented Vim. CIimO
 With Handsome Ticker.

In 1900, when W. B. Thompson was promoting the Shannon company, and w. D. Climo was superintendent of the mine, and was hunting for sul phides, MT. Thompson promised him a fine watch when the Shannon com pany paid it's first dividend. Time passed on and both men left the con- pany, but MT. Thompson remembered his promise, and last week sent a fine Tiffany watch to c. M. Shannon at Los Angeles, to give to MT. Climo. MT. Shannon and some of his friends purchased a chain, charm, and pencil studded with diamonds, to accom- pany the watch. Last week MT. Shannon gave a little dinner party at the Jonathan club in Los Angeles, to which were invited MT. Climo, and George A. Schroter, Albert Searle, N. NJ. Norfeet Reese Llewellyn, Frank H. Hudson, F. T. Griffith, and W. J. Cox and at the dinner table, in an eloquent speech, in which he referred to the history of the Shan non mine, the Shannon company, and MT. Climo's long work with the com pany, he presented the watch. MT. Climo is something Of an orator him. self, and he responded in fitting manner to MT. Shannon's speech, al though the language and expressions were different from those he used in many orations he delivered to the Mexican miners on Shannon hill, when urging them to do little work, for the good of the company.-Lib- era1
