While the number of costumes was not
as large as at the various
Phoenix carnivals there was a large
enough crowd to interest everybody
and those who masked had as much
fun out of it as though there had been
twice as many.
The ball was in reality a double
header. One hall was not large enough
to accommodate the crowd so special
invitations were issued to official visi-
tors and their friends for a ball in the
Smith hall. while others for the most
part attended the O'Neill hall. But
both buildings were crowded and many

those parts and says that great plans
are being made for the future. He was
specially interested in the operations

company at the mouth of Queen Creek

This property has been under bond

The company is now arranging TO

inch pump. The present two-inch
pump and hoist carrying a fifty gallon
bucket is too small an equipment to
handle the water that is now coming
in, the mine being near the bank of
the creek.
The shaft is now 100 feet deep and
there are several tunnels that are be-

drills. They seem to have a good body
of ore that is said to average seven
