WALLACE, THE RIDING LION.

Of all the great equestrian perform ances of the circus world there is none more strange or attractive than the perfectly trained equestrian lion to be seen with the Walter l.. Main Enor- nous R. R. Shows, 8-ring circus. 5-continent menagerie, Roman hip podrome and trained wild beast shows. This remarkable animal, which a few years ago roamed, king of an African forest, is now seen at every perform ance of the Walter l.. Main shows, rid ing a bare-backed horse with all the ease, grace and agility of a champion human equestrian. There is no act or part of any act, perIormed by our champion bareback biped artists which this intelligent quadruped does not duplicate, and many things in which he excels the grntlemanly ar tists of the big show The big show exhibits here on Monday October 4 and every one should see the only horse-rdding lion performer.

The Barkley- Bergman Mercantile company, the importers and whole sale gfocers of Phoenix, are now nov ing into the E-huildfng on Adams street, which was erected for their exclusive use.
 It will take at least ten days more to remove the immense stock from the warehouse and the old store room on Washington street. The new building is 50x100 feet, with two floors and a basement, all of which are especially arranged for the convenience of the firm. The basement in particular is the most important part of the build ing. It contains as the other floors, five thousand feet Of flooring space and will be principally used in stor- ing perishable goods, meats, etc. It is almost as good as a refrigerator for this purpose, as the temperature is about the same the year around
 MT. Barkley has just returned from an extensive eastern trip, where he visited all the various markets and bought the largest stock of goods ever shipped to Arizona. A branch estab- lishment will be opened at Prescott about October 1 and in buying for the two places MT. Bark1ey was able to not only get good terms from the east ern manufacturers and importers, but he also received advantages in freight rates that will enable the firm to knock out all competition with the Arizona trade. The Barkley-Berry- man Mercantile company are the only exclusive grocery jobbersc in Arizona and their house would be a credit to any eastern city.

ALMOST TO KLONDYKE.
A Letter From Al Kyle Within a Weel
 of His Journeys End.

MT. D. P. Kyle yesterday received another letter from his son, Al Kyle, who, with L. P Nash, were we'll on their way to Klondyke. The letter was written at Lake Linderman on September 2. It contains more suc- cinct and complete information of the inland journey than all newspaper accounts that have yet been published. Mr. Kyle writes
 Lake Linderman, Sept. 2, 1897.
 'sMr. D. P. Kyle, Phoenix, A. T. Dear Father, We arrived here all O.. K. yesterday, but wetter than drowned rats. It has rained every day or night since we left Dyea the 18th of Au- gust. How is that for wet? MT. Nash and I have made arrangements with a Frenchman and Swede to go down the river with them. It will cost us $50 apiece, and that Is awful cheap when boats are selling at from S400 to $500 apiece.
 'sWe will leave some time between the 7th and 10th and expect to reach Dawson about the 20th. Say. I have a surprise in store for you We had entrants right from the bushes for supper tonight. I picked a quart and Oh, my, how good they tasted with a | little condensed milk. MT Nash went to get some tent poles and had all the red raspberries he could eat, but had nothing to bring any to camp with him.
 '1 guess we are the first of the Will 1amette passengers to get through ] that carried any of their grub Now how's that for rust1ing? The trail be- l low Sheep camp is something awful Dry places six inches deep in mud l Wet places neck deep. So you can set
 we did not get through any too soon
 At Skaguay, Dyea and on both trails
 there are about 5000 or 5000 people
 possibly 2,O00 will get through. Thai I is all summer overland. There arc
 only about two weeks left that il
 would be possible to start from here and get in before it freezes Cby water)
 MT. Wash Says to tell you that thi.
