The work of excavating for the new building on First street will be fin ished in a couple of days. The excava- tion made is fifty feet front by eighty eight feet deep.
 Architect Norton has drawn up plans for the building which, however, will occupy the full frontage on First street of 137 feet, but excavation has only been made for a 50-foot front.
 A foundation that will be substan- tial for a five-story building will be constructed, but the present intention is to only make it two-story building with basement. The plans, however, are made for four-story building and the plans may be followed to that end.
 When fully completed the building will be an imposing structure and will have a court arching both on Adams street and the alley on the south. The front will be of stone and highly em- bellished. It will cost s60,O00 and if the fifth story is to be erected it will cost nearly S90,000.

SHOOTING AT BISBEE.
Mounted Inspector Finley Wounds an
 Unknown Mexican.

Tucson Star: The particulars of the shooting of a Mexican at Bisbee last Monday morning by Mounted Inspector Sam Finley were received last night The shooting took place about 1 o'clock in the morning. The officer was sleep ing in room adjoining the custom house. The Mexican, whose name is supposed to be Gonzalez, went to the room about Il o'clock and tried to break in, probably with the object of committing a robbery. Though no money is ever kept on hand over night by the inspectors, considerable amounts are sometimes received by them The Mexican was ordered away by the in- spector and he went ntiaMay, it was after ward learned to get a gun. While he was gone he violently assaulted an old man and, procuring a gun, returned to Inspecor Finley's quarters sometime after midnight
 He tried to break the door and the Inspector Ffnley's quarters sometime warning, fired. The ball took effect in the left hip near the groin. The wounded Mexican dragged himself away and lay all night in the brush where he was found the next day. His recovery is by no means certain

BORROWING GRAIN.

Tucson Citizen? Judge Meyer was in a reminescent mood the other day. He stated that in early times it was a habit among the farmers on the Santa Cruz, in case any of them ran short of grain to borrow from one another and always to repay same back in double the quantity borrowed the season fol- lowing, and in case of failure to make the loan good the amount continued to double every six months till paid. A fanega of wheat weighs 160 pounds. For this amount the borrower would return 320 pounds if paid within six months and $40 pounds if not paid till the end of the year. As there are two harvests each year the amount doubled prodigueously. He knew he says of one instance in which thirty-two fan egas of wheat were paid back for one borrowed and further that two more are still due. In other words 5,120 pounds of wheat were returned for the 16O borrowed and that 320 pounds are still owed.

A good story which is vouched for by several persons reflects on the cook ing ability of Uncle Moss who is well known on the south side of the river.
 Uncle is a Bachelor and is fond of his fapjacks.
 The other morning he made a good batch and was just sitting down to partake of his breakfast when some body called him outside his tent. When he returned he saw an h. dian dog that had entered unobserved gulping the last of his cakes. He sshied a club at the animal who slunk out of the tent.

MUlRPHY'S IDEA.
What He Proposes son the Indian
 Questien.4

Washington Correspondence of the Hos Angeles Times: Delegate Murphy ii speaking to me of the Indian ques- tion, said: 'I have seen the war de- apartment and interior department off, ciafs concerning the recent murders by Apaches in Arizona. I told them that this was to have been expected when the troops were removed from San Carlos. There are peacable tribes in Arizona, but the Apaches are never safe, no matter how quiet they may seem to be- The authorities as- sure me that there will be no better protection at San Carlos and that the mineral lands will be segregated. If they do as promised, no legislation will be necessary, but if not, I will intro duce resolution that will bring about an investigation" Continuing upon the Indian question in general, he said: Millions of dollars are expended upon the Indians and the machinery neces- sary to maintain the very peculiar re- lation in which they stand toward the United States. This must end some time, and as the territories all become states, there seems to be but on prac- tical solution, allot all of the Indian Hands and then let the Indians occupy the same positions as any other cit izens. Those who are capable of be- ing civilized will be protected and those who are not will be punished by the laws of the several states, and if left in that way to the wisdom of the communities interested, the question will be solved satisfactorily and with out t!he expense attendant upon the present system"

THE MAMMOTH DRY GOODS FIRM
 OF J. J. O'BRIEN & co.

i No more conclusive evidence of the
 growing and assured prosperity of Los
 Angeles can ibe found than is shown in l the career of that old California dry
 goods firm, J. J. O'Brien & Co.,, who,
 notwithstanding that some months 5have to elapse before the second anni- versary of the opening of the Los An l geles branch can be celebrated, yet
 the rapid manner with which they
 have sprung to the front with our older
 merchants is truly phenomenal, the
 concern being at present favored with
 a patronage as generous as that ac- corded to any firm in southern Cali
 fornia, and on inquiry into their busi- ness methods, one need not be at all
 surprised at the enviable position they have attained in the business com
 munity, as the principals of this ex- tensive firm seem to possess in a re- markaible degree that intuitive knowl- edge of legitimate trading that few are born with and fewer acquire. They
 have always a keen, quick and firm in
 sight for the public wants, no varying they meeting every change of fashion
 with accuracy and celerity, and with the cooperation of their competent
 eastern and European buyers, no mar
 ket advantages can pass unnoticed,
 thus insuring the landing of their goods at prices that allow them to view competition with the utmost serenity and their individual liberality and broad ideas showing their impress on the general character of the business; the firms enjoyment of such a won derful popularity is but a natural se- ,quence.
 The permanent working staff of the San Francisco and Los Angeles stores number about 300 hands, and the uni form courtesy and conscientious atten- tion bestowed by the employees on pa irons has been an important factor in creating multitudes of permanent cus- Itomers, and judging from the appreci- ative feeling evinced by all Los An
 gelans, this reliable firm can with the utmost confidence calculate on long and prosperous career in our midst

CHRISTMAS TIDE.
The Season Fittingly Observed in tht
 Purchase of Gifts.

The shops well show the near ap- proach of the Christmas time. Every thing good to eat is especially in evil dence, while sweetmeats are in evil dence, as at no other season. Turkeys hang by the dozens in the butchers stalls and the stalled OK has been killed to furnish decoration ere he is transformed into steaks. Saturday and Saturday night the streets were thronged by Christmas shoppers and bundles of all descriptions gave evi- dence that the times are not hard enough to materially effect the Christ mas trade The mails and the express are loaded with outgoing gifts and nothing seems lacking of a typical Christmas save snow and holly blos- soms.

outside of the tent He looked out and saw his unwelcome guest of few minutes before rolling on the ground suffering great agony. He went up to the animal who gave one last reproachful look at Moss, then pdied. The f1apjacks were too much for even the cast iron stomach of a half starved Indian dog.
