Never before in the history of Ari- znna, has the mining industry locked more hopeful than at the present time. Mines that have been abandoned for want of proper machinery to develop them and make them yield with pro- lit, are now again being worked New mines are discovered, and those that are now yielding ore, have received q new impetus. The old Fulture mine that in times past has yielded her thousands, and then abandoned on accornt of mismanagement and the enormous cost of reduction, is once worked with energy and vigor, and but few short weeks will eiapse, ere the sound of forty stamps will be heard crushing it's gold bearing ore Since this property came into the new hands, new mines have beer lo- cated and the pick and drill are busy in their development IL is stated that the mines in the Cave Creek Dis trict will be opened soon and under etter auspices.

The southeastern portion of the Territory contains very rich mines and the shipments of bull ion will be largely increased.

WOOSTER, o., July 29.-The heaviest
rain storm ever known visited Wooster
this evening, rain falling from o'clock
until in perfect torrents. The water
rushed down Market and Beaver streets
four feet deep, from Bowman street
south to and beyond the railroad, carry
ing everything before it. Cows and pigs
were swept away by the food.


On East Liberty street, the water
flooded the residence OF q man named
Schaff, and the family were rescued by
ladders.


At the corner OF Beaver and East Lib
erty streets the water was backed up
three hundred feet wide, running
through houses and lots. From East
liberty the water rushed through Gel
lars and yards and down Beaver street
in perfect torrent, filling houses waist
deep.


On South street people were rescued
from the residence of Charles Baver by
passing over the shoulders of men and
on ladders.


A house occupied by Mrs. Avery
Powers suffered considerable damage,
and was nearly carried away by the tor
rent.


The water rushed down to Henry
street, sweeping away fences, outbuild-
ings and dong great damage to dwelling
houses. The water here formed a small
lake and was three feet deep in the
streets.


On Henry street the water did con-
siderable damage to the property OF
William Johnson, moving his barn from
its foundation and filling his cellars.


Beyond the railroad the damage done
was immense. The large stone culvert
at the foot of Pittsburgh avenue was
swept away. The flood backed through
the dam Of the railroad pond across
East South street, carrying away anoth-
er large stone culvert down the valley,
flooding the gas house shoulder deep.
The damage done here cannot be ascer-
tanned, but was immense.


Christmas run, on the west side OF the
city, presented the appearance OF an i'm
mense river as the water came tearing
down, sweeping away bridges and fences:


Several railroad culverts are reported
washed down between here and the
summit, delaying trains from the East.
Excitement ran high all the evening, as
several children were reported missing,
but have since turned up safe.


A mile west and south of Wooster
farmers were at work in their fields
during the storm, and witnessed
strange sight-two black clouds APP
preaching each other, which as they
met, burst and the floods fell. The
amount of damage done cannot be as
certained tonight, but is very large.
Telegraph communication is cut off
from the East by the food.

Washington, April 9.-The president
and secretary of war have not yet de-
cided what to do with the result in the
Porter case, but will probably send it to
congress without recommendation. This
is all Senator Randolph, who is Porter's
representative here, asks. Randolph is
chairman Of the military committee of
the senate, and he thinks he can secure
action upon it favorable to Porter if he
can once get the matter before the SEN
ate. As Porter is democrat and most
of his friends are democrats, he will be
better treated than he would have been
by republican congress. Garfield was

originally tried Porter, and pronounced
upon him the sentence from which he

A Careful Review of the Presidential Out


look for 1880.


New York, April 9.-The Times has
an article thirty-three columns in length
giving views from every state in the
union on the political situation, where
in it is proved that the republicans first
choice for the next president is Grant,
and that democrats will be compelled
to accept Tilden. The Times takes 1t
for granted that the action of congress
has made a tremendous difference in
favor of Grant. Briefly stated the re-
suit of the inquiries is that Grant is a
candidate favored by an overwhelming
majority of the republican party, and
that Tilden is the deliberate choice of
a majority of the democratic party.
