 A tender-foot writing from California back to hIs home in Connecticut, says that "whIle crossing the desert plains of ArizJns, their train broke down snd they were besIeged by bowling wolveE, t. the great terror of all on board. At snoth- CT place q lot of ArIZo1s Indians put in an appearance and frightened the re- mainIng wits out of the party" This fellow evidently hhd been filling up on gallon eastern tanRle foot. and was laboring under bad dose of snakes.

 Last night at the opera house, 8 tea set was drawn by 8 young Mexican rancher, who, oE being told of hIs for tunate draw, went forward and put ID good piece of sideshow acting. The set consisted of forty four pieces and when pl sced on the table before him were evi- deutly more dishes than he had ever before seen. He first stared st them with open mouthed RstonishmeDt, then he took of his haT and finally went doEr on hls knees aud attempted 10 put bis arms around the table.

 There is rrobably DO better opportu nity in the West for people Of moderate means to acquire homes and cOmpe tence than ID the GIls Valley.

 The attendance at the Opera House last n,Ob, WAS not all that could be expected op account of tue rain, but the sudiepce present were highly entertained never tbelsss. The more seen of Zsmloch the more mystIfed be becomes. Ihings that might be termed almost supernBt- ural are done under the very eyes or the audience in a most inexplicable manner. Whatever the leaders of splritusllsm have esssyed to do, he doeF, but how, IS s mystery. Tables tilt, drums beat and the spirits of the dead are resurrected st command.

 Zamloch wss himself last night but at inc same time, some of his tricks were apt to make one think that be had been encroAchiuq on the Devils domain, Tor how he dld them without aid from nls Satanic Majesty was more than DIS intensely interested audience could fathom. "Sleight of hand" IS The eA- plaps,Ion given, but how the hand can he SO educated as to transform water into wine and vice versa, mix toose lioulds and again separate them. and do other apparently more wonderful things, has vet to be explained to the unlnlila- ted. The presents given away last night
