 The beet also grows wonderfully in this country; they are very large in size and very sweet in flavor; SO we'll adapted to our alakali soil is this vege- table that I am sure it will be grown in the early future in Arizona on large scale for sugar. For this reason I have watched its growth with the greatest interest. and the resultis fully equal to my most sanguine expecta- tions."

The show by the boys came off last night and netted about three dollars, Admission was fixed at five cents. The shooting of an apple off the head of his son by William Tell was very clever. The gun went off, the boy ducked his head, the apple rolled behind the scenes, where it was picked up and a hole run through it with round stick after which it was exhibited to the au- dience. Tho show was in reality more enjoyable than many of the Minstrel shows visiting Tombstone, it will probably be repeated in the near fu- ture.

 public of Mexico says: "During the
 year which closed yesterday, the Re-
 public has progressed in every way.
