 Board met pursuant to adjourn ment. The following report of J. J. Fisher. county surveyor, was read, ordered filed aud spread on the minutes:
 To the Honorable Board of Super
 visors Yavapai county, Arizona
 Territory:
 GENTLEMEN: In compliance with your instructions to make an exam ination and report of the amount of work done on the Santa Fe, Pres colt, and Phenix railway, as to the said companey's fulfillment of the law as to the completion of fifty miles of said road or it's equivalent, I have made such an examination and submit the following report:
 | find that the company has thir- ty-five (35) miles of road bed com pleted ready for ties and rails in Ysvapai county, also that the bridges are completed on the first twelve (l2) miles out of Ash Fork, also that the company has four and one-third (4a) miles of track laid and ballasted in good shape. I also find that the company is building an A No. 1 road bed and 1 that all their work is first class.
 I find the work to be very heavy l and expensive in getting over the 1 mountains and down the valley. | The great amount of rock work has delayed them longer than expected, es such work cannot be rushed like | earth work.
 am also informed at the engi- | neer's office that there are seventeen miles graded ready for the ties and | rails in Maricopa county. which, in | with what is graded in this county, makes 52 miles ready for the track.
 In making an estimate of the amount of work done, one must take into consideration the preparations to first begin such work, the necessary surveys, the getting of material and supplies, tools, animals and men on the ground, all of which time, labor and expense.
 l therefore believe the company has accomplished that which is equivalent to the completion of fifty miles of road and do so report.
 All of which is respectfully sub J. J. FISHER, Civil Engineer and County Surveyor,
 Yavapai County, A. T.

 Mrs. General Tom Thumb and her troupe played to 8 full house last evening at the opera house. The entertainment was of a pleas ing character, and the audience came away in the very best of hu- nor. On account of lack of pro- grammes it is impossible to desig- nate the actors and actresses by name, although three of them are worthy of special mention. The young lady in her song, dance and rope jumping act was especially good, while two gentlemen in their character songs were par excellence. The little men and women did we'll slso in their various acts. The tricks were very cleverly performed, although he introduced 10 new ones. The closing act by Jim was very interesting and elicit ,d great applause from the audience. The performance throughout was Iefned and entirely free from all features, and the com ,any will no doubt have another arge audience agail this evening to witness their closing performance.
