NEW STATE LINES.-The tendency to read
just State lines according to natural boundaries
Is by no means confined to this Peninsula
Some OF the States are too large, as Texas for
instance, which would make three or four bic
States. But several of the States have such
odd, unnatural, arbitrary boundaries that the
desire to change them to common sense form
ls as natural as IL is important and wise. This
IS the case with Wisconsin and Michigan and
Erorida and Alabama, our own Peninsula and
several others. Most of the propositions of
this nature have been seriously advocated and
some are In train Of fulGllment So far as
heard from, these new projects in political
geography are as follows: New York to be
divided into two parts, of which one is to in
clude Manhattan and Long Islands, with such
other small fry as Staten Island thrown in. and
the other part what remains of the State
New Jersey to be so divided that the northern
part may be annexed" to New York Penn
sylyania to be subdivided; Delaware to be
peced out with the fragments of MARYLAND and
Virginia lying west of Chesapeake Bay; West
Florida to be set off to AlabamaI; Tennessee
TO be bisected; Texas to be trisected; Wiscon-
SIN and Michigan each to yield up its northern
portions to form the new State of Ontonapon
OF Superior; Missouri, to be broken in twain

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-Two Territories have
woman suffrage reality-Wyoming and Utah.
The latter granted it last week through its
Legislature, and the bill was Immediately sign
ed by Acting Governor Mann, and became
law, 1be right could not have been granted
at more Opportune period. A chance for
practical test was Immediately given. On
Monday last Salt Lake City held its charter
election. We have often been promised that
if the women had the ballot they would soon
put an end TO much Of the legalized vice that
now prevails, and that especially the women
of Utah would throw off their present degra
dation-~poligamy. Ii is known that feud
exists among the MormoDs, and that one of
the points of difference between them is this
very question Of poligamy The poligamists
under Brigham Young, and the anti-poIipa.
mists, under young Joe Smith, are struggling
for the ascendency- -Bigham to retain It Joe
TO acquire it. The women can therefore de.
eide the question. If they vote against polig-
amy they viii make strong argument in favor
of their franchise if for it they strike stun
ming blow at their privilege. In Wyoming
there are but few women, and their enfran-
chisement is Of little practical significance, but

LOCAL MINING ITEMS.

Prices of stocks have ruled decidedly
low during the past week, yet we fancy
We distinguish some slight groupings
Of a revival at the close. This Is based
upon stock manipulations principally,
with precious little regard for actual
developments In the mines themselves.
We certainly hope this little revival
will make itself even more conspicu-
ously manifest during the coming
week. As to money matter, the Alta
says 1.-THE supply Of money contin-
ues we'll proportioned TO the demand,
and there Is no change In rates. The
banks get l9lA per cent. per month";
and OH long terms outside money Is
had at 10 per cent. per annum. The
supply Of bullion In July has been
large. reaching $3,55l,774, against 81
66S, $40 Inst year, showing u resunp-
ton Of gold mining by many who went
to White Pine last year. There were
no shipments East by steamer to-day.
The effect Of the war has been to stop
the demand TOR silver In London for
the Continent, and the price Of silver
bars falls there, stopping the shipments
hence. kilograms had been received
Of a rise In silver, accompanied. how.
ever, with intimation Of a fall. Al
the same time, the rate, 2 per cent,
was too high for the present, and the
accustomed English shipment wa:
withheld. There has been a dimin'
ished Shipment and increased produc
ton of bullion, which, with the opera
tons of the Mint, have raised the sup
ply Of coin from %, l55,OOO first SIX
months last year, to $lO,3iS,OOO, FIRST
SIX months last year"
The Yellow Jacket Company, fol-
several months past, have been work
ing vast quantities Of low grade ore
from the upper levels Of the old north
mine, but finding 1t very Improbable
business, on the first Of the present
month they concluded to shut down
that portion of the mine, and confine
their attention to the higher grades OF
ore extracted through the south SHAFT.
Speaking Of low grade ore and the cost
Of mining 1t, the Alta says: Although
the amount Of bullion turned out Is
fair, vet It Is from such low value rock
as to leave but very little margin for
dividends. Indeed, most Of the rock
now being worked is such rs a few
wears since attracted no attention; blu
It Is a singular feature, that the cheap
rock Is required to pay wages for labor
as high as when the yield was at It:
highest. Take the Savage mine In IL
