IT CANNOT COME.
The Reason Why Foreign Silver Can NOt be Dumped in Our MintS
 Under Free Coinage.

The coinage committee in its con- else report in favor of free coinage of silver made plain to the most obtuse mind why the silver of foreign coun- tries cannot be profitably shipped to the United States and coined into American silver dollars. A part of the argument is here produced:
 "The familiar warning that free coinage would cause shiploads of silver to be brought here and dumped at our hints in exchange for gold is still urged, but under the proposed law sAiploads of silver brought by foreign CTS would be coined into silver dollars, and these dollars returned to him, but he could not go to the treasury and de- mand gold for them, as, according to the bill, the government can use its pleasure in paying in gold. He would then ascertain that he committed q blunder in bringing silver to our hints where IL IS worth , cents on the dollar less than at home, and that he loses this cents and the cost of transpor- tation besides. He cannot buy gold with the money, or gold exchange, unless gold and silver are at par. He will either have to invest the money here or carry it home again. Nations of the old world, seeing this, are pre- dieting calamity instead of prosperity as a result of free coinage law here"
 The report quotes from the report of ex-Secretary of the Treasury Win dom for 1889, in which the Secretary took the position that no danger need be apprehended of flood of European silver.

A New Organ.

The new Mason and Hamlin organ for the Presbyterian church has ar rived. much to the qualification of those interested in the church. The old organ gave out some time ago and the ladies of the church were very desirious of purchasing a new instru- ment that could stand the test of our dry climate, and.in fact be thorou hly reliable in every way. From among all the organs discus ed, the Mason & Hamlin was chosen. but it was feared sufficient means could not be raised to purchase the organ desired. A gener- ous donation from friend in Califor- mia materially increased the organ sui3i, and it was further aided by a contribution from the Union Mission Society of Auburn, New York. Through this society the organ was purchased, and the Mason & Hamlin Co. made liberal discount on its catalogue price of S220. The organ meets all expectations and is the most complete instrument of these series of organs. having five octaves, fourteen stops, seven sets Of reeds, etc, and the tone full and rich and is capable of a great variety of expression.

STARTLING! The Boundary Lipt Will Come 6OI Miles Further North
 than atPreSent. Cochise and Pima Counties Will Be- long to the State of Sonora.
Tombstone Will be on the Line and Land Grant Titles
 Will be 0 K.
FL PAso, Feb l4tn.

ED. PRosPECToR Having noticed many extracts from the PRosPEcToR in relation to the boundary survey and the probable change of the line, have taken pains to find out some thing regarding the proposed re-survey. The Americans of the party are not inclined to talk on the subject. Whether they know anything about the future probability I am not able to say, but from the Mexican side I learn that there is A strong feeling that the line will run between 90 and 75 miles further north from its present location. It is well known in Mexi- can official circles that the present proposition to re-survey the line was engineered by the Mexican congress ard acquiesced in by the American congress.
 The line is claimed to have been located originally with deference to the wishes of a few land grant owners who in turn disposed of their holdings after being taken into the United States. The job, it is claimed, has been exposed and the Mexican sur yeyors have explicit instructions to contend for every inch of ground tc- longing to Mexico. The Mexicans are convinced from the tone of their conversation that Tucson, Tombstone, Yuma, Bisbee, Nogsles and San Diego in California, will become part of the state of Sonora when the new line rawn.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.


 A Mexican woman living near the O. K. corral, known as Clara Joe, was the victim of horrible accident, on the night of the I4th, which will probably result in her death She fell asleep, leaving lamp burning on stand by her bedside. In some manner 1t was thrown ol the floor and broken, and before the poor creature was aware of danger the bed- ding was mass of flames, and had it not been for the heroism of Panama" who rushed to her rescue, she would have undoubtedly perished. Dr. Wright was immediately summoned and at once alleviated her agony, but found her beyond the hope of recov- cry. Much credit is due to Claud Lewis for timely assistance. This is hird accident of a similar nature, which has occurred in this neighbor- hood within year past, two persons having been burned to death.

A young woman stylishly dressed and fair to look at has for she past few days been anon g the customers Sho patronised the dry goods counter. The gentleman re- ferred to is ever gallant and obliging with the fair sex and never for a moment would he credit the idea that any of the dear girls were capable oi doing the absconding debtor act.

feature of modern society in New York
i do not say modern fashionable So
ciety, because several of the names
upon its shining list are not yet seen in
those of the functions enjoyed by the
so called four hundreds the number
of colossal fortunes owned by individ-
uals. Two men are cited who are re.
ported to enjoy the revenues from
estates of $3.50, 000,0 each. Others
between twenty-five and thirty of
these enviable souls-lie down at night
with the agreeable reflection that they
may upon the morrow, if so disposed,
make ducks and brakes of fortunes
ranging from S., 900, 900 800, 900, 900
