 The fact that it requires from five to seven cars to transport the stage ef- fleets, the thousands of dynamite shells and bombs, rockets, electrical pieces, that fifty trained men travel with the exhibition and three hundred men are required to carry out the thrilling bat, tie scenes and to display the enormous st pieces and electrical effects, is enough to make all realize that we are to witness a fiery eruption which will thrill and arouse the patriotism of ev- cry citizen and give our school chil- dren an object lesson that will never be forgotten.

TO MINE IN CHINA
Su Chung Will Return to Dig In Bis
 Native Hills.

Su Chung, a Phoenix cook is a Chi naman who has ideas above those Of most of his people in this country. Su is better known as Tommy, and iS probably On more familiar terms with the American residents of this city than any other Celestial here. He is awaiting witl impatience the outcome of the present trouble in his country and when the difficulty is adjusted he will return to his home and engage ip mining. Tommy left China when p boy, but remembers distinctly large quantities Of coal gold, lead. iron and other Valuables within easy reach Of the surface of the ground near his home in southern China. and will make q study of mining before he returns home, in order to be better able to properly handle the work which he has planned.
 There are great quantities of all kinds of minerals there. but the gov ernment never permitted extensive mining" he said last night ''and when the new government is iu effect there will be a great chance to develop rich mines there. Most people Eerp
 
 can do anything that anybody else can Go and all we need Is instruction. Four years ago I.i Hung Chang visited this country. lie saW how Americans did things and went home and built great water systems and other improvements. A Chinanan is usually quicker to learn than an EnGlishman and when my country is well settled after this way and new foreign Ideas introduced, we will astOHish the wOrld.'
 Chung is at present engaged ID ap effort on behalf of his fri nd, Ge Kim Over a year go Kim and Chung were partners in the firm Or Kim & Chung In Chinatown. dealers in Chinese goods and curios. Kim got passport and went home. When he wanted to come back the agent at Canton cxNIu- ined his pass. The paper read: "Ge Kim. merchant. member fi-m Kim t Chung, Phoenix, A. T." In the mean time the firm had taken in another member and the name was changed to Chung & Chung. The agent found no such firm on his list, is mentioned in Rims pass and cancelled the docunent. Therefore, Kim is in China and his business is here. and Chinamen here ow. him several hundred dollars. An unwritten Chinese rule is 10 the effect tha, debts will be paid only to the creditor in person, and in consequence Rims money is tied up. Su Chung is making a strong attempt to get the authorities at San Francisco to send a new pass to his partner.

OYSTERS ARE EARLY
First Shipment Comes In Unexpected.
 A Glance At the Market.

Oyster lovers will be provided early qualification of their appetites this fall. Last Tuesday the first shipment of the bivalves came in and they are in heavy demand. Never before in the memory of local dealers has the oyster been on the market so early in the fall and has heretofore not been obtainable until about two weeks later. Those now on the market come from Yuma. Louisi ana, and are in bulk and cans. They sell at 20 cents per dozen or 90 cents Der can, and are large and good. They are shipped direct from New Orleans and kept well packed in ice until sold. The shipments of perishable goods grow earlier each year and serve to demon strate the improvements in shipping facilities. The lobster is about the only shell fish that cannot be brought to Phoenix in good condition and kept several days. The lobster does not last long in warm weather and yields quickly, even when packed in ice. In winter it can be brought here and is popular delicacy, although bit too eX- pensive for people of moderate means. Soft shell crabs frequently find their way to Phoenix in cold weather. but are not unusually in heavy demand.
 Eggs is eggs" on the Phoenix mar ket these days, and some of them are mighty bad eggs at that. Apparently the hens are afflicted with an epidemic of ennui probably induced by the pro- tracted heated spell. At any rate, they have not been so industrious as to bal ance the law of demand and supply, and eggs are scarce. Retail buyers pay from 20 cents to p cents per dozen and even then have some trouble in getting good eggs al that. It is an extremely difficult matter, as all people familiar with chickens know, to keep eggs for any length of time these hot days. and if an egg lies in the sun for a half hour it is cooked to a sufficient extent to make it extremely undesirable. One house wife, the other day, broke four teen eggs out of a lot purchased as fresh before she found one that did not have the yol6 joined and mixed with the white.
 There is plenty of fruit on the market. large quantities of peaches coming in from the Verde and Skull valleys. and d few good ones from this valley. Grapes are not scarce. but will last only a few days longer.

 but with three good local teams. the DeMund, the True Blues and the h. dan school mines. there should be no dearth of inducement for rhe enthusi- asm of the roOters. The foot ball men are rather slow in starting. but there will doubtless be several teams here this year. Probably the most prOmis- ing of them all is one composed of number of eX-cOllegiates, who, if they will pract tice cOnscienFiOusly should constitute one of the best elevens in the southwest. The Indian school team will get into training soon and will dbUbtess play several games with prominent western elevenS. No plans have been laid for horse racing. but it would not be surprising if a series of gentlemen's driving contests were to be arranged. There are a number of really fast animals in the valley and between W. W. Cooks rapid side wheeler, w. N. Tiffany's Juno T.. Jack Gibson's flyers and a host of minor fry, a number of good races could doubtless be arranged.

 tion.

M. Breen of the firm of Breen & Peck will shortly depart for the east to com plete arrangements with eastern par ties for locomobile line to be operated between Nogales and Tucson, also be- tween NOgales, Washington and Du- Quesne camps. We are informed by MT. Breen that such lines are being successfully operated through the east, over all kinds of roads. at cost for motor power of One-half cent per mile, and also successfully operated during winter when snow covers the ground. This we would not have to contend with in Arizona. The locomobiles to be used will be built by the Winter Motor Carriage company and will carry six passengers and the operator; also about four hundred pounds of express. Border Nidette.

THE WINTERS DIVERSIONS
Promising Outlook In Social, Musical,
 Theatrical and Athletic Circles.

Admirers of good theatricals and lovers of music are in a state of an ticipation of an unusually active sea son. At the theater the outlook is especially attractive and so many good plays have already been booked that Manager Crawford writes that as fine a list has been prepared for Phoenix as in any city of twice it's size in the west. Phoenix is naturally good as a theater town and always extends heavy patronage to worthy plays. It may not be generally known, but stage people do much toward advertising the virtues of this country as a place of business and a health resort. Phoenix stands high in the esteem of the better class of actors and actresses who have been here and inasmuch as they usually see the country when at it's best, in the winter, they are readily disposed to praise it. The season will begin in about three weeks and in the mean time Manager Crawford will come here and complete plans for the winter.
 In a general revival in music, which seems to be a pleasurable likelihood, the theater will not be neglected, and MT. Doris states that the orchestra will be better than here tofore. The work of the orchestra has never been far above par, but it will be equipped with new music and put in training at once.
 The promised improvement in the quality of music in the Phoenix churches, has struck a popular chord and in virtually every local place of worship plans are under discussion for the provision of better choirs or large choruses. In fact. tlere promises to b. considerable rivalry as to which church shall furnish tie better music and the spirit of composition can hardly be else but productive of good results.
 The Orpheus club and other Organiza- tions which Were originally intended for the prOmotit of the cause of harmony will settle down to business next month and prepare for their part in the effort to put music on a higher and more substantial plane.
 It is rather early to attempt to get a line on the social outlook for this win ter but as all indications point to a larger number of visitors than ever before and the legislature will be in session, 1t seems apparent that Miss Society will be a busy creature. Of course the Marlcopa club Will be the center of social operations and prep arations are in progress for the series of dances and card parties to be given there.
 The carnival is. of course, the chief entertainment If the winter, and al though there has been no concerted movement toward the fete for this winter it is most sincerely to be hoped that the big festival will not be passed by.
 But social, heatricai and musical features will not compose all of the winters fun. Athletic sports will pro- vide varied source of entertainment and a programme consisting of prac- tically everything from golf to horse racing should be inclusive of enough to suit every taste. The Golf club is in a state of innocuous desuetude, a
