Hayden Happenings

The storms during the past month have damaged both employers and men to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the town of Hayden. The town and all the principal works are high above damage bV water except the pumping station, but all supplies, even the ore, reach the mill by roads along the banks of the Gila which gnaws the railroad in fifty foot bites during the flood time.
 Two hundred fifty men from the mill which has closed the second time this year, are at work helping rebuild the half mile break at Bannamar. Every one is doing his best to help restore communication with the outside world. Railroad grading is very hard work for mill men, but there are many things to keep up their strength and spiritS-not the least of which is fifty gallons of the best coffee which is distributed to the tired men each day at noon by Superintendent D. D. MOffat.
 No first class mail has been received here excepting two days since the flood and no second class mail is even eX- pected for some time yet. of course supplies of all sorts are running low but it is greatly hoped that both mines and mills will be able to resume work soon with a full force
