Geldorf, formerly of Tucson, ar rived here Monday last with the intention of residing permanently. He is a gentleman of considerable ability and energy and has al- ready received from our best citi- Zens assurances of assistance in completing the church and erect ing a dwelling for himself. Work will be commenced immediately on both buildings, and in very short time we can boast of having parish church, parish priest and a parochiaI residence. From this point Father Geldorf will frequently visit Clifton, Morenci, Thomas and other places in the county, but his headquarters will be here. Professing religion, no matter of what kind, has never in iured anyone, and l am pleased to state that all classes of our citi- zens, irrespective of their religious belief, have warmly welcomed Father Geldorf to our midst.
 The event of the week, or rather of the season, the ladies' leap year hop, came off as announced, and was as successful as anticipated. Dancing commenced promptly at 9 p. m. and continued with but little intermission until 1 a. m. An excellent lunch, consisting of sandwiches, cake and coffee, was served at midnight, the ladies furnishing every thing free; and when the dancing ceased paid, like little men, their pro rata for the music and escorted their guests home. Mir. and Mrs. I. E. Soolmon kindly furnished their family ambulance to the com mittee, by means of which all guests were transported to and from the ballroom with but little inconvenience. Among the many prominent parties who graced the occasion with their presence were noticed: Miss Ben II. Crawford, Miss Frank Dysart, Miss George \. Olney, Miss W. c. W. Smith, Miss Lawrence V. McCourt, Miss F. II. Newell, Miss Charlie Solo mon, all comfortably and neatly clothed in haud-me-downs. The opposite sex were also well rep resented, Mir. Anna Solomon, MT. Catherine Neese and Mir. Mary Fitzgerald taking a prominent part. llr. George Kilmer, with his wife and sister-in-law, attended from Thomas; GIr. Lassiter, Mrs. Groesbeck, Miss Groesbeck and Misses Alice and Annie Hunter from Stafford. All were delighted at the entertainment, and the gentlemen hope that the ladies will in the near future again as sert their prerogative.
