HAYDEN. Ariz.. April 5.-With the opening of the doors of the new Gila Valley Bank here for business Wel-
 nesday morning Hayden has taken
 another very notable step forward.
 The building is a magnificent struc-
 ture of reinforced concrete and large
 enough to accommodate banking
 business on a much larger scale than
 the community now requires This
 is in anticipation of the great growth
 that the banking business in this
 section is sure tO undergo within the
 next few years. The building has
 been equipped with elegant bank fix
 ures which are strictly up-to-date as.
 no doubt. will also be the service
 rendered by the institution There
 were d number of people who aspired
 tO the distinction of having made thc
 first deposit in the bank but Mrs. John Maclntyre outwtted other as-
 pirants and claimed that distinction
 for herself.
 Agent Walter Weaver of the AriZo- na Eastern here has about a dozen very fine chickens and thereby hangs a tale Wednesday morning he mis- scd the customary day break greet ings from the fowl yard and hurried out to investigate only to learn that not q bird was to be found Officer Nash was summoned and put in charge of the case while the out ragged owner declared there would probably be a dead man if the guilty party should cross his trail. Pretty soon one of the railroad boys down at Hayden Junction several miles distant phoned that the missing chickens were. there. having come down on d car of lumber during the night MT. Weaver claims that his birds decided to change their sleeping quarters and unfortunately chose this car Of lumber, which was to be moved during the night; but the generally acceptei view is that the fowls had such dislike for their owner that they decided to bum" their way out of town
 Y. M. Es<ridge has accepted a po- sition with the John MacIntyre co. 1 and will nave charge of the account ing end of the firms business.
 w F.. Sullivan. who has recently 1 conducted an audit of the accounts 1 of the Ray Cons. for Suffern and Son ! of New York City, has accepted a ! position as travelling auditor for the | A s. X R. Co. and will audit the books | of that company here before leaving | for other points on his route
 Great improvement is being made | in the tennis court of the Ray Cons | Several inches of surface have just been put on one of the courts and the other one will be improved in like manner at an early date. This sur face is a mixture of a soil suitable for the purpose rolled down nicely and sprayed with oil. This makes an ideal court and we should now see much more classy work among our players.
 We are now having daily elimina- ton contests on the results of which will be based the handicaps to be allowed In the regular tournament which will be played a little later in the season.
 Hayden's justice court claimed two additional victims in it's grind last Wednesday. Tomas Montana drew a of twenty-five dollars for concealed weapons and, be- ng unable to produce the cash was 2xtended the privilege of serving time. Tom Pigg drew fine of ten dollars Or being unduly intoxicated.
