At Fort Lowell a record of rainfall was kept for twenty years by a govern ment observer. A recent report gives some interesting facts that will be of use at this time as the rainfall in Pima and Cochise counties is about the same. The average yearly rainfall during the twerty years enumerated was 11.79 inches. The greatest precipita tion was in Use year 187C, when 1C inches fell during the year; and the dryest jear was in 1870 when but G.21 inches fell. One of the peculiarities of the year 187C was that less rain fell in southern California during that year than any other during the twenty years' period of which we are writing. The average monthly rainfall for the month oi July duriug this period was 2.53. For the mouth of August, the overage rainfall during this period was 2 90. At Whipple Barracks, the average monthly rainfall during the twenty rears was 15.47 and at Fort Mohave but 5.39. Do you want to save from 25 to 50 cents on every dollar you spend?

The Oso Negro stage came up about noon today bringing the usual load aud an item of Indian news It seems tnat the Mexican troops are bound to stay with the renegades until they get them They ran them out of the Cauanra mountains about July 4th and followed ihem across the hue onto V S soil for a long distance until they lost the trail. After attacking Gat trell's camp the bani turned back in to Sonora and struck across towards San Barnardino. The troops took a hot trail near the line and are following three of the renegades with prospect of getting them into the arms of the troops stationed in Guadalupe canyon There is scarcely a doubt but that the two companies now out from Huachu ca have turned the band or a part of it back into Souora. The Mexican troop is comprised of i men under a new captain. They are picked men and from the fact that they were close enough to see three of the band, which news they reported by courier at San Pedro, makes the pursuit and an ex ceedingly interesting one. lMortH-r Which HTpct ttar Kid Are amoDUte neit formidable known.

Downs expects to preach his last sermon for the summer in the Methodist church Sunday night, on "What I know about Tombstone." All members and friends of tbe church are expected to be present. Sheriff Kelton received a telegram last night from Huachuca that no ap prehensions nor arrests had been made by the scouting parties now out from tbe post. Collector Clark has had a Wolfley time of it in 1 Paso, and like the ex- governor of our own territory he was made to vacate that the machine might be properly lub&icated. The rain ol last night killed the two fine singers of Frank Ryan, which for several weeks hare delighted the resi dents of the neighborhood of the City Hall. They were exposed to the heavy wind and rain, and although but of a half hour's duration, life tru extinct when the storm was over. The chief was subduing the riotous spirits of four fighting .Vexicans at tbe time, and could not bs in two places at once, . SALTON LAKE. First Authentic Report Upon its Source and Probable Future Condition- The San Francisco Examiner sent a mau from Yuma down the Colorado river to 'find the true condition of affairs and report. He has arrjved at Salton and sends his paper the inter esting account of the result of bis re searches . Six miles below Hanlons the party left the Colorado river and turned northwest into a wide slough aud after proceeding about twentv-tive miles, ran into a laguna of the Colorado river. This was the first place where they saw water leaving the Colorado river on its way to the desert. It seemed to be breaking over in many places. There was a bar forming and the cor respondent expresses the opinion that the river will probably eventually change its channel and throw a great volume of water into the desert. There is water all over the bottom lands which is great cattle country. In one channel the water was twelve feet deep and the current continued north. The extent of the flooded district become greater as they ad vanced. At a point about ten miles from Alamos, another stream ten feet wide and twelve feet deep joined theirs Four mil from there, their course was throi gh, .t succession of laker counecttd by channels from 200 to J00 v arc's wiJe and all very deep. A nuiuber of waterfalls were met with where the stream cut its way through and hills. At some distance after they entered th no-called Salton lake proper, their channel and Arresco creek were the only streams entering the desert. The correspondent states that while the water teemed to be falling and was from about ten to fifteen feet deep in Salton Lake, there is a great vol ume of water which must apparently come in from various lakes along the route and that the streams themselves are carryiug water. He believes tbe channel parntanently cut and that it will always continue full of water ex cept in the lowest stages of the Color ado river. Those deluded individuals who cling to the straw that our only wealth is in our mines will be drowned by a tidal wave of figures from the assess mentroll. A rush to the Salton Lake is about assured. A trip down the Colorado river and around into the lake with lan dings at the base of a mountain range hitherto unexplored is a dream second only to that of Christopher Columbus, when he set out on his hitorical voy age of discovery. Dr. Goodfcllow has again been called to San Francisco on account of the precarious condition of Mrs. Good fellow. He left last night, going down to Benson by private conveyance. The company of Apache Indians had their first pay day at Whipple, on Thursday last. A few oi hem celv bratCfl in true Amcriciii styS, and in imitation of the way a few of their paler brothers celebrate such events, by getting drunk. One of them, after getting to the post, stripped off his blue uniform and raised a regular Apache war whoop, It took six men to carry him to the guard house. Journal-Miner. Four maidens of Mexican birth and one mau of doubtful origin, were sent up by Justice A Word this morning for ten days for fighting. Judging from their looks they must have had a roy al time while it lasted. There is no telling how far it would have gone had not Chief Ryan put in an appear ance and arrested the quartette which were making unearthly noises between the blows (bey were dealing each oth er, in a house in the lower part of town. NEWS BY WIRE. Los Ajvoelus United Slates Mar shal Gard returned last night from San Diego. He say the Itata is rest ing easy and tbe officers are talking about going east and to Europe on a vin during her detention. Tklnikau Just before the Union Pacific train left Catsklll yesterday afternoon, the body of a man named Long, a resident of this village, was brought in.

Clark lias been removed as Collector of Customs, and thai a hoi fight is now on Letween those who desire to succeed him. It is understood that General Malloy, Chas.

Lano, held in jail here on the chargo of being implicated in the burning of a railroad bridge in Arizona, wa brought before Judge Falvey on a writ of habeas corpus, and given a hearing. District Attorney Larrazola assisted County Attorney Davis in represent ing the state while the great legal fighter. Judge Teel appeared for tin defence.

He stated stated that he had not heard of any such transaction being contempla ted. As will be seen by reference to an other column the personal property connected with the Huachuca hotel and sutler's store, will be sold at auc tion on August 3d. This means the extension of the present accomoda tions at the poet. The 9th infantry expects daily to receive orders to ex change with tbe 11th of Xew Yoik, which means tnat Huachuca will be headquarters for the 11th to whicb we understood, is attached one of tbe fin eat military, bands in the service. Huachuca will be a 12 company post which will necessitate the erection of extensive additions to the already spacious quarters. Tombstone will be close enough to this beautiful moun tain spot to benefit not only in a fi nancial but in a social way from this proposed change. BY WIRE. HPKJIAL DlgrMTOHKH TO PKOSPKCTOK.
