 Treasury department-First bureau. The president of the United Mexican states to their inhabitants, Know ye: That in virtue of the power conferred upon me by article ? of the congress sional budget for this fiscal year, deem it well to decree as follows: The importation of foreign goods consigned to the free belt can be made in transit through the custom houses of Quay mas, Vera Cruz, and Tampico; author ity is hereby granted to forward to said zone goods entered in the bonded warehouses at these ports, and the provisions of chapter xxi of the gen. eral tariff law now in force being mod flied in this respect, and the zone du- ties being collectable at the free zone port of destination to which the goods are consigned all subject to such rcgu- lations as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe for protection of the revenue.
 l, therefore, order the printing, pub licatiOn, and circulation of this decree so as to give 1t due effect.

A man by the name of Barlow was lost on the desert near the Parumph ranch, Mohaye county, about two weeks ago. He was almost dead when found by an Indian. The poor fellow had torn of all his clothing, and was lying under bush insensible. A few more hours without water he would have surely perished. As he passed through Kingman on the train, with an attendant, he was at times so yio- lent 1t was necessary to iron and tie him to the seat to prevent his escape.

Numerous new mineral discoveries have recently been made in the Batuc country, district of Arizpe, Sonora, and the veins are described as very rich in silver.
 The fair now open at Guaymas in aid of the municipal hospital is very successful. The first evenings receipts were about $500. It will continue two weeks or more.
 Monday of last week the reservoir at the new Amarillo mill burst, caus- ing the loss of all the water it stored, and consequent suspension of the mill several days.
 Wednesday a special train on the Sonora railroad left Guaymas carrying Doctor Riyero, one of the company's surgeons, who travelled the full length of the road yaccinnating all employees.
 Information comes from Guaymas that early Sunday morning Sonora Elena Sandoyal dc Calyo, a prominent and well known lady of that city, the sister of Messrs. Prospero, Aurelio and Alfredo Sandoval of Nogales, was fatally burned by an explosion of q lamp. She fingered until Wednesday morning when death put an end to her sufrerings. In their sad aflliction the Messrs. Sandoyal have the keenest sympathy of many friends at Nogaes and all over Sonora.
