Davis, Henry Goldwater and James Griffin, began prospecting almost a month ago and the result of their labOrS was re- warded by a generous return, the ex- chequere of the lodge being replenish- ed and the participants in the enter tain1nent afforded an evening of un- allowed pleasure. Prof. Laguardi's excellent orchestra of six pieces from Fort Whipple was engaged and the enchanting strains of music they ren dered during the evening were of delightful character. Seventeen rum- bers, to which were added number of extras, were scheduled, the program in itself being an excellent exempli fication of the printers art, and the veteran Tom Schultz is entitled to the credit of executing the work.

In "go1d' letters ap peared the letters 'tB. F. o. E.," like wise the lodges number, "S30." The entire work of decoration was in ex cel1ept taste.
