INSANE MAN IS SENT
 TO THE POOR FARM
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Yesterday Judge Hicks and two physicians, as a board of insanity, had before them Native Castro, against whom a charge of insanity was filed. After an examination it was decided to take him to the eoun- ty farm, to be detained a few weeks, in the hope that his physical eondi- tion would be benefited. This course was deemed expedient, owing to his emaciated condition.
 An investigation of the causes that led to the arrest of this unfortunate man, showed that he was apparently the victim of hunger. In appearance he is a skeleton of his former self.
 He was found a few days ago in big eulvert near Congress June tion, which he stated he had entered to escape the intense heat. It is the supposition of several residents of that place that his mind is un- balanced.
 His abject appearance yesterday created a great amount of sympathy and after a few days of mediel~ at tention, with proper food, it is be- livede tht he will be fully restored to health. He has been a resident of this section many years, and is known as an industrious and hard working man. His health has been poor for several months, and he has been unable to perform manual labor. It wis learned yesterday that the place where Castro was found se- creted was in the path of a cloud burst the day after he was taken out. Had ne not been found at the time he would have met a watery grave, in the opinion of those who gave the information.

YOUNG TOURISTS HOME WITH
 MAMMA
From Saturdays Daily)

Three boys, neither of whom had yet reached the age of 15 years, were intercepted at Congress June tion, Thursday afternoon, as they were fleeing to the ancient city of Tucson, where there was "millions in it," like the old story of Col. Sellars portrays, in the good old days along the Pacific coast, when every hole in the ground had its fortune for the lucky seeker of wealth.
 Seized with the desire of a fren- zied zeal to get rich quick, Gordon Waldreth, Almon Cain and Johnny Mckee attempted to make the stunt from this city. The last two named were to be steered to the cached soil by the former, resident of Tucson.
 Their minds being tender and their ages receptive to the treasures that a "Pegleg," "Nigger Ben," "Lost Adams" and many other mythical treasure storehouses have hidden away in the hills somewhere, these kids took the bit in their mouths, and without ceremony, and, incident ally, also without informing their parents where they were fleeing, jumped the city and also the blind baggage for the Mecca land down south.
 Waldreth is skilled for a youth, in the art of impressing his patronage, and with young Cain and Mckee, the triumvirate were to do things, and shove Carnegie and the other big ones to the sidetrack in feats of getting there with both pedal ex- tremities.
 Sheriff Smith wired Ed. zeiger, and Zeiger got a line on the indomnit- able trio, and after giving them a bed and a meal, as neither had a sou in his pockets, they were herd ed until the northbound train pass ed along, when all were placed in the coach, and with heavy sigh the old familiar haunts were reached in a few hours afterward, with the exception of Waldretn. The latter went home, and will solve the mys- tery of gold galore single handed. His compatriots at the Prescott end will join him "when the robins nest again"

MILL IS PURCHASED
 FOR THE MINT MINE
From Thursdays Daily)

After financing his company to erect a new mill and continue the development of it's mines in the Cop per Basin district on a larger esale than ever, George Montgomery, di- rector of works of the Mint Gold Mining and Milling company, arrived here last night from Franklin, Ohio. Director Montgomery is accompanied by c. H. Vowler and s. H. Class, capitalists of Franklin, large share holders in the Mint.
 The initial unit of the mill has aI- ready been purchased. It comprises ten stamps and two eoneentrators, in harmony with a decision reached some months ago, after several tests of the ores, which proved the combined amalgamation and concentration treatment the most economic. The machinery will be hauled from Skull Valley station to the mill site at an early date and it's installation commenced. The management ex- poets to have the new plant in opet- ation in ninety days.
 The main shaft of the Mint mine Is down 230 feet, with a good sized ore body exposed in the bottom. The veins are being developed from this shaft and it is the intention to re- sume sinking at an early date. Cross cutting and drifting is in progress on the ore bodies and as soon as the development of the mine warrants another unit will be added to the new mill.
 The Mint group is located five miles east of the main line of the s. F., P. & P, and two miles south west of the properties of the Com mercial Mining company, where a double compartment shaft is now be- ing sunk to a depth of 1000 feet. This shaft is now down over 200 feet and in rich copper ore.
 Director Montgomery and Stock holders Vowler and Class left this morning for the mines, where Mir will resume charge of operations and rush the mill to com pletion. ]

FAIR FRUIT YIELD.
From saturdav's Dailvl

J. K. Hall, whose orchard is famed for it's fine fruit, and especially for peaches, was in the city yesterday from his ranch at the lowed end of Lynx Creek. He says the yield this year is smaller than formerly, due to the drouth of the earlier months. In speaking of the rains that have fallen this summer, he made the statement that his place had been overlooked, the fall being light in that immediate vicinity, while at points adjacent the land has been deluged several times.

Arriving from Williamson Valley, yesterday morning, Ernest Marlowe brought the news that on Friday af- ternOon that section was visited by a cloudburst, the first time this sum- mer, and that the rainfall was the heaviest of any storm ever known there. So heavy was the volume of water that the country presented the appearance of a big lake. Fences were washed away by the rushing waters, and considerable damage done to land.

CFrom wednesday's pallyl


 Arrivals yesterday morning in Pres eott from the main line of the Santa Fe, via Ash Fork, state that a brakeman, whose name was not learned, met a frightful death on a freight train that preceded the pas senger Monday afternoon. While en- gagged in his labors, he fell to the ground, and a long string of cars passed over his body, frigntfully mu- tilating him. At the time of the ac- eident nothing was known of it, and until the fast moving passenger that followed came along and made the discovery on the track, his fellow members of the freight crew were unaware that he was missing The body was left at Blackberry, and a eoroner's jury was to have been i'm panelled at Seligman to ascertain the cause of the accident.

IT TOHl ; OdLSJ
 Due to the most destructive eloudburst of the last three years, near Crookton, Prescott is temper arily on the main line of the Santa Fe, giving globe trotters and tour ists a chance to enjoy the bracing air of the City a Mile High. How long the city will be on the sum- mer map of the great transontinent- al railroad has not been given out by the railroad officials as the ex- tent of the damage near Crookton is not definitely known
 All of the overland passenger trains are now passing through the city from Ash Fork to Cadiz, Cal, the junction of the Arizona & Cali fornia railroad with the main line. The eastbound trains are also pass ing through here from Cadiz to Ash Fork
 The first tram to detour in its westerly course at Ash Fork was No. 3, which passed through yester- day morning at $40 o'clock. At o'clock, yesterday afternoon, No. 2 and No. 8, eastbound, arrived, and left after a short stop, for Ash Fork. At $40, the Limited, known as No. {, arrived from the coast, leaving thirty minutes later.
 Many passengers on these trains saw the section of the Territory traversed by the s. F., P. & P. and Arizona California railroads for the first time. Expressions of delight at the ozone-laden atmosphere of the pine clad hills were heard from several One globe trotter, in par ticular, was heard to remark "this is the only climate fit for a white man to live in on the face of the earth, and I will certainly come here and establish a home as soon as my business engagements will per mit.'
 
 $. F., P. & P. was called on on very snort notice to accommodate the overland passenger traffic, it has been done so far with promptness and with little or no inconvenience to the many patrons of the road. No accidents have happened and the reg 1n1 promptly as usual, proving beyond doubt that the train service of the local line is equal to any emergency and as high class as any iB the en- tire country.
 It was reported last night that over 1900 feet of the main line track between Crookton and Gleed was washed away by the eloudburst Thursday evening. This could not be confirmed at the local offices. Judging, however, from the general activity in railroad circles here it is believed that the management ex- poets to handle the overland traffic several days.
 A second serious washout is re- ported on the Santa Fe between Seligman and Needles. The damage js reported thousands of dollars but particulars were not obtainable at late hour. Later news of a freight wreck at Albuquerque was received, which mas stopped traffic temporarily on the divisions east of Winslow. It was not given out whether there was any loss of life in the wreck, which is understood to have been caused by the heavy rains softening the track.
