leans. It is reported two bodies were
•< *» P**sln* Solomonville in the Gila
River. The exact number of drowned
la not known, but the total is placed at
JO. Twelve bodies have been recover­
ed. One person reports seeing I I In the
water, all of whom were lost. A Mexi­
can woman lost five children At Mor-
encl the water was 10 feet deep, but
the canyon Is much wider, and com
paratlvely small property losses and
probably no fatalities resulted. The
Baby Gauge Railroad upon the canyon
to Metcalf was frightfully washed, and
on this road occurred the narrowest es­
cape from a big death list
A train carrying 60 passengers met
the flood, which was seen in time for
the train to be stopped, allowing the
passengers to seek the hillside. The
water overturned the train and doubl­
ed it up like a horseshoe. The flood
lasted for an hour. The Arizona Cop­
per Company at Clifton is a heavy los­
er. and the Morencl k Southwestern
trestle at Morenci is the biggest loser
there.
It will take two weeks to repair the
Metcalf Railroad and will provide
work for many strikers It is believed
this occupation will divert the atten
tlon of the strikers, and the flood ca­
lamity may have a strong influence in
settling the strike.
The bodies of many dead are believ
ed to be buried under the tailings from
the Arlxona Copper Company's mill,
»nd It may be weeks before all the
missing can be accounted for.

Hammond W ill Go Ahead W ith Indian War Claimants Can Now

Preliminary W ars.
The State Board of Portage Railway
Commissioners held a conference with
A. E. Hammond, the engineer recently
selected to make a preliminary survey
of the route of the portage road be­
tween The Dalles and Celllo. Mr
Hammond was directed to proceed at
once with the survey, and he will do
so as soon as he can organize a sur
veylng party.
His work will be to examine the
ground and run preliminary lines
where the road will probably be con
atructed. He will make plats and
charts showing all the topographical
conditions. He expects to be ready tc
report to the board in about 30 days
and until that time no further action
can be taken by the board.

Secretary of State Dunbar has re­
ceived 98 vochers for claims of Indian
War veterans and will begin Issuing
warrants In payment o f the same this
week. It Is believed that 800 claims
will be filed with the Adjutant-General,
and that 750 of these will be allowed.
In amounts averaging about $150 each.
If this expectation shall be fulfilled,
the total claims allowed will amount to
$112.500. The total appropriation is
$100.000. so that a deficiency of $12.500
is probable.
Under advice of the Attorney-Gen­
eral Secretary of State Dunbar will
issue warrants for claims In the order
in which the vochers come to his office,
and no in the order the claims are filed
with the Adjutant-General. All claims
rill be paid in full as long as the
money lasts, and when the approprla
tion is exhausted the Secretary of
State will issue certificates of allow
ance. which are recognized as legal
evidence of a valid claim against the
state. These certificates will not draw
interest and must await an appropria
tion by some subsequent Legislature
before they can be paid.
