 young men of this place who managed the affair are to be com plimented upon the great success which resulted from their en- deavors. In addition to all the ladies from Solomonville we mo- ticed the following from other towns: Miss Collins and Miss Allie Collins from Thomas and Miss Leahy from San Carlos, es- corted by Lieutenant Fuller; Miss Hunter and Miss A. Hunter from Stafford; Mrs. Robinson, Mrs Bass, Miss Jennie Parks and Miss Paxton from Duncan, and Judge Blake and family from Buena Vista. Some Idea of the number present may be formed from the fact that sixty-two couple sat down to the elegant supper pro- vided for the guests at the Gila hotel. One of the most enjoyable features was the music, which was furnished by six musicians. To sum it all up, everybody had a good tune and everybody went home we'll pleased with Solomon vile hospitality.
 Mrs. I. E. Solomon has gone to Las Cruces, accompanied by her son Harry, who is going to New York to school. Mir. Charles Solo mon has arrived home from school and has taken a position with his father in the store. Charles is looking finely and will doubtless prove of great assistance to his father in the business.
 $. W. Pomeroy has sold his Bowie and Fort Thomas stage line to John $. Green of Pima. Patrons of this line will lose noth- ing by this change, as Mir. Green is a good business man and has the necessary dinero to run the line in good shape.
 Mir. Pomeroy has bought the ranch of Cal Fair, which is con- ceded to be the best in the valley. There are now 120 acres of this land seeded in new, clean barley seed from California. Pomeroy never does anything by halves and i always has an eye to the main | chance, and so it may be depended upon that his investment will prove paying one.
 Mir. Hussey from Duncan IS visiting here on land business Mir. Hussey has money and pro- poses to spend a portion of it in improving the land around Dun can in a manner that will prove profitable to himself and satisfac- tory to his neighbors who are in- terested in the development of the country.
 Fred NJ. Newell, our deputy treasurer, is deserving of great praise and has received many com pliments for the fine shape in which his books were found at the time of the settlement with the Supervisors. The Treasurer's books are surely model of neat ness and correctness.
 A large lot of ore is ready for shipment from the Gila range.
 A Mexican circus came in this week and has been giving exhibi- tions here. s f

 Sheriff Crawford got back from Clifton yesterday. He says Cliff ton was lively New Years and that he had very enjoyable time. He also says that he made bet on a 'sure thing" and lost it.

 A big crowd is here from Dun- can and excitement is running high over the race next Wednes- day between the Duncan horse owned by Phillips and Bert Frye's Grasshopper. The struggle prom. lses to be an exciting one and each horse has plenty of backing. One thousand dollars IS now up a. stakes, and indications would in dicate that either Duncan or Solo. monville will go broke on the re suit.
