 MILITARY BAND-Colonel McClin- tock. commanding the First regiment of the National Guard, has made ar engagements with the Pioneer band to become the regular regimental band on occasions when the Organiza ton is re- quired for military purposes.

 MOUNTAINEERS IN TOWN.-S. O. Payne, Dinky Burke, pr. Hamilton, James Rainey and Morris Monaghan. who comprised the posse that left for the Mogollons some weeks ago to lay in wait for Tracy. the Oregon outlaw, have returned home. They failed to find their man. and though they heard it reported that he was dead. they re- fused to believe it, and would have spent the winter there waiting for him only they heard that Buffalo Bill was coming to Phoenix. That changed their plans entirely, for there is no question but that he will offer them good salaries to join the aggregaticn and exhibit themselves as the only bunch of wild mountaineers captured in Arizona with real whiskers grown in the Mcgollons without the aid of ir- rigation.
 DUCK SEASON.-L9cal nimrods re- port that ducks have made an appear ance on the river. and sportsmen will re iCice accordingly. The season is rather early for ducks, but the cold weather in the north and east has probably turned them southward a few weeks before the usual time fer their a appearance. The shooting on the rivor has been excellent this year, and up to date thousands of white-wing pigeons have been slaughtered. The pigeon season is now almost over, and the birds are becoming very wary on ac- count of being shCt at so much. though a good marksman can bag a lare" number in an hours shooting. Quail are also plentiful this year, and the nimrods are waiting Tor the close sea son to end with impatience. There promises to be plenty of sport with the gun for the next three months.
