 Leaving Prescott few months ago to reside permanently in Humboldt county, California, where he was to assume the mercantile management of the Pacific Lumber Company, c. A. Randall arrived in the city last night, and made the interesting state ment that he is here for good.
 He speaks of that country as the greatest rain belt in the universe, and if any othr Hassayampas desire to take a dip into it he will be pleased to give them some data as to what they are going to encounter.
 The method of registering the rain fall there is through the channel of feet, and not like in this country by the inch gauge. So far this season there were five feet of moisture, not counting the fogs, and as there were to be four more additional feet, he concluded to get out before the swamping took place.
 MT. Randall says the country is the greatest in timber culture he ever saw, and the redwood forests are magnificent. He comes to this sec ton to remain, and will follow min ing, with which he is eonversant and recognized highly as a capable man. He is aeeomuanied by Mrs. Randall. l. <. 4 -.- I. i.
