writer from Vancouver Island describes
simple form of Passion Play which
lie had witnessed on neighboring
peninsula. The drama consists of QUE scene
only, VIZ. the last and most s0lemn-the
CrucltiXiOn. On a terrace a crucifx is
erected, and round it stand twelve Roman
soldiers. One of these holds spear,
which he is ready to thrust into the side OF
the suffering Christ; another holds the
ropes, nails and hammer; a third the
sponge, a fourth a ladder and fifth
bucket filled with vinegar and water. Be
side the cross stands the disciple whom
Christ loved, at its foot kneels Mary Mag
dalene, her dark hair falling over her feat
ures and at the other side the Virgin
Mother. A solemn silence reigns over all,
and the spectators, some 2000 in number, are
bareheaded. The scene is most impressive

 EDITOR PRosPEcToR It might in terest you 10 learn that Wm Hsyn. as the customs broker for Il San Luis Mining < Reduction Co, opera. ting in the Moctezuma District of So- nora, received notice this date from the administrator Of this Custom house, that a special concession from the Secretary oI the Treasury had been granted to them to ship their mill and all sppurtenances of it via Bisbee and receivable al Fronteras, Sonora, in stead of here.
 This means that the Inspector of Customs of tbis custom house with the agent of said company have to re- ceive and inspect it at Fronterss, but it does not mean the establishing Of new custom house in that section and reports to that effect please disbelieve. l have seen so many reports in priut evidently obtained from parties who were not correctly informed themselves that thought il well to inform you correctly on this subject
 The route from Bisbee via Fronteras is the most direct one to the Moctezu- ma District and as the government ol Mexico is anxious to foment mining enterprises in ihis country and the mill and machinery oi said company being very bulky, this concession was grant cd and it is confined to the duty free mill and machinery only and does not extend any further, for all duty paying merchandise must be shipped via thjs custom house or Nogales, as the ship. pers may see fit.
 We have 8 new set of officers here CexcePt the Inspector, who will soon make room for another. The ad- mloistrstOT being & gentleman Of very fine education sud business tact has adopted q very fine and quick system of dispatchiug passengers and meT ehandiss through this custom house, The many abuses of former admini-- trstions are done away with, which makes 1t pleasant for both the broker and the passengers to pass through, and Americans need no longer he afraid to come here, pay their duties but afterwards go to jail somewhere in Sonora because they had branded wagon, etc, but could show no papers that the duties had actually been paid.

COchise coapty is in the south eas- tern corner of Arizona, bordering on Mexico and New Mexico. In altitude it ranges from 5000 to over 5000 feet. The northern end of the county is crossed by the Southern Pacific Rail- road, from which branch line runs southWar'l tp Tombstone. There are in all 2,372 acres irrigared. the farms being confined almost exclusively 10 the valley along tine San Pedro river. fhis stream Is the main water supply of the county, the little farming that is done al any distance from the river being confined to the mountain valleys where small springs occur.
