 We have been promised a list of the bill of fare, which will be ready for our next letter. The boys mean to make a record and have a jolly good time and let their friends have one, too, and we know they will, for they are a jolly good lot or fellows, any way. Success to the Elks' ball.
 Professor Knox, professor of men, tai science, and president and founder of Brennan college, Seattle, Wash, is billed for Roosevelt Thursday next, coming from Globe and from Roose- welt on 10 Phoenix. It is expected that he will deliver lecture on men tai science here. At Phoenix classes will be formed, the course running some ten days, with five free lec- lures. Mir. Knox claims to have classes during the year in every place of size west of the Missouri, which takes some ten months of his time in travel during the year. The other two months are spent at his home in Seattle, Wash, with short trips into British Columbia during that time. He has just completed his class at Globe. MT De Saffrey and wife are now on their way to Phoe- nix as advance agents for MT. Knox.
 MT. L. L. Steadman, who recently found indications of gold-bearing ore, still continues to hold down his job at the cement mill, wisely concluding that cement pays better in the hand than an unprospected prospect whose look good to the metal lurgical eye, but whose vein of gold bearing quartz has not yet developed any gold.
 s. s. Thompson and wife have been doing a little quiet prospecting on the side and found an immensely rich mine of galena ore, only it turned out to be electrolized iron or some such blame thing. according to Judge Evans and several other ex- NttultSS NO say son went back to work for wages again.
 The Tonto country was well rep resented here today, Francis Packard, who has a store at his home ranch, coming in for a supply of goods J. Boyne Henderson, a chicken fancier from the TontO, also got hungry and came in for a grub supply.
 D. Solomon of Cline wandered in yesterday with a beard ten inches long. He was caught by the local barber and narrowly escaped with about two inches of it left on his face. He seemed happy and smiling as ever, despite his loss.
 Joe Phelps took a trip to Payson today to regulate his stage line be- tween here and that point.
 Lou Asbury of the Nest stage line, had quite a time getting out of Roosevelt on his run this morning, having to make two starts before he finally succeeded. His first one was on time, all right, but when out to the third mile post the axle broke and Lou had to return for an- other rig. Happily one for two horses, and used as an extra for the Payson line, was on hand, and hitch ing his four to this, he succeeded in making his getaway, but two hours late. His four passengers, when they get to Mesa, will doubtless have no complaint to make for slow travelling, as, when last seen, they were cutting blue streak through the atmos- phere.
 Elmer Edwards, Anthony Maurel and Harrison Maurel passed through Roosevelt, Thursday, on their way from Globe to Tempe in a private rig. MT. Anthony Maurel is on his way back to school at the Tempe Normal, after a few weeks absence on account of sickness.
 Miss ROxie Solomon and her sister, Mrs Maggie Aulbriton, accompanied their father, MT. Solomon, to Roose- welt, Thursday, from their ranch up Tonto. MT. Solomon and Miss Roxie returned the same day, but Mrs. Aul- briton expects to remain for some time.
