 In conversation today with Thomas J. Laird, who came in yesterday from Groom Creek, the latter stated that on his trip here he met freight teams with an aggregate of thirty tons of freight destined for the Groom Creek section.

 With all that could be wished for m the way of weather and with un- diminished crowds, the carnival is enjoying a good patronage on the eve of its final performance. The lions roar is no less thunderous, the camel's jog affords the same discom- forts and the Queen still reigns over the realm of the Eagles. The varied cries of the vendors mingled with the fog-horn, stereotype tale of the ticket taker almost convinces the observer that this world is but vanity fair with plenty of people to run the risk of one more chance in the lottery.
 The Big Casino" presented last night at the opera house by the Oberle Stock company was we'll at tended besides the masked ball and several other attractions. "The Big Casino" is a comedy with great weight and the Oberle company proved themselves masters in comedy pieces as we'll as dramas. Tonight the company close their Prescott en- gagement with "A Womal Honor" The queen and her party will attend the performance tonight. The Eagles have been invited by the man agement to attend as a body. The Oberle company have made a repu tation in Prescott as a company of sterling worth and we hope they will play return engagement in the near future.
