 The hunting party composed of Schwartz, Roberts, Davidson and Hoff- mier. who left a week ago Sunday for Lake Palomas, returned Tuesday They all speak of having had a grand time. getting over 900 ducks. The ac commodations at the lake, they state, cant be beat. It is expected there will be another large party leave soon for the same place.
 If the press dispatches are to be re- lied upon, lovers of pugilism are to have the pleasure of seeing Bob Fitz- simmons in the ring once more. The latest news is to the effect that Man ager James Coffroth has secured FitZ- simmons signature to a contract to meet Philadelphia Jack O'Brien at the Colma Athletic Club. in a fight to a fin ish for the heavy weight championship of the world. Coffroth's representa- tive in San Francisco also interviewed Mir. O'Brien and secured his signature to the articles of agreement. The next important item is for each of the prin- cipals to secure a good. frst-class press agent, and then the fight is on.
 According to the press dispatches, Fl PasO was visited by a serious con flagration last Saturday night, which completely destroyed the Myar Opera House, a structure built in 1SS7 The fire coming as it did when the house a r-l, l seems like an act of Providence. Those who have visited the Myar, and a great many Bisbeeites have had that pleasure, will recall quite yividly the strenuous time they had in reaching their seats through the many winding stairs that led to that portion of the house. The loss of life that would have ensued had the house been full and a show in progress, would have been second to or have euualied the Iroouois fire at Chicago. The citizens of Fl Paso have a great deal to be than kful for in this fire. as it will ne cessitate the building of a new and modern theater, something Fl Paso has been sorely in need of for a great many years. The old building was a disgrace to the city, it having been condemned several times.
 There seems to be considerable in- terest manifested among the miners in the forthcoming drilling contest that is to take place at Fl Paso during the Mining Congress. The $500 rate that the Fl Paso and Southwestern has put on will no doubt be the means of a great many making the trip. So far Chamberlin and Make seem to be the favorites in the betting.
 The following party left last night for Lake Palomas on duck hunting trip: w H. Brophy, Dr. Shine. Fred Sutter. MT. Nolan, MT. Harrington, W. G. Mcbride and D. H. Collins. The party expect 10 be gone several days, and intend to put forth their best ef- forts to break the record held by the Rinehart and Schwartz party.
 The Britt Nelson pictures that are being shown at the Opera House, dem onstrate beyond doubt that Nelson is the greatest glutton for punishment that ever stepped into a ring. It is  enough to discourage a clever man than Britt. when your opponent keeps toring in. always willing to take two punches, figuring thereby to get one n. iu return, that would count for more than your two. Those who have seen Britt in action, commented upon he fact that the pictures failed to show that he ever usei- during the fight his favorite blow, a left rip. They seem to think that the result would nave been different had Britt played Tor Nelson's body instead of his head.
 There will be no regular shoot this afternoon by the members of the Gun Club, owing to the unsettled condition of the weather.
 Messrs. Spires, McGregor. Wm- Jones and Schwartz, expect to leave soon for Lake Palomas on a duck hunting expedition. They expect 10 be gone several days.
