GILA ON RAMPAGE The Enterprise learns by grapevine tele- graph that the last flood played sad havoc with Clifton, Work has been suspended by the Any- one and Detroit companies, they having sus- tained serious damages to property. The town of Clifton has been badly washed, sustaining a large amount of damage. It will be some days yet, and perhaps weeks before the narrow gauge road will be running regularly. Tele- graphic communication is still cut off from the camp. Many farms along the Gila river are greatly damaged. The town of Globe also sus- tained serious damages from the flood, likewise Phoenix and Yuma. At the latter place the Gila river was three miles in width, being many feet higher than was ever before known.
