The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
December 4th, 1869
Local Intelligence .
The California and Eastern mail arrived
Wednesday afternoon ,
many hours behind
time. The driver of the mail stage said
that the delay was caused by mud and
water between Wickenburg and La Paz , the
valleys of that section having been
flooded by heavy rains. The road between
this place and Camp Date Creek was also
bad. The snow extended west as far as
Skull Valley. The driver informed us that
one of his mules gave out, but, luckily ,
a man came along, riding a bronco horse ,
which the driver pressed into service.
The rider took a seat in the stage- Three
passengers came in the stage; C.C. Bean ,
of this place John Timmons r
and M.
