bought by the Lincoln Birthplace Association. but
that Lincoln was born in Washington County, KY

The burden OF proof that Lincoln was born in

Fl T|GRE IS SHIPPING
Product of Mines Long Held at CaSas 6randeS is
 Released.
KANSAS CITY CLAIMANTS
 ARE DOING BUSINESS.

Ore which has been the cause of much contention between the warning parties to the Fl Tigre mining prop erty, is arriving in the Pass City for treatment at the Fl Paso smelter. Sx care of ore have already arrived at that place from Casas Grandes, and several additional carloads are yet to come.
 This ore was taken to Casas Gran des from the Lucky Tiger" mine in Sonora by the Graham people, at the time when the conflict for possession began. On account of interference from the claimants it was impossible to remove the ore by the natural chan nel Of egress from the mine. and so the attempt was made to transport it overland.
 Kansas City claimants to the mine, the ore and all other possessions con nected with the Fl Tigre company. bestirred themselves and secured an order from the court seizin- the ship ment of ore. It was held at Casas Grandes until the final decision of the court was reached. This decision turned the ore over to the Kansas City people, who are now in control of the mine
 For several weeks the ore has been lying at Casas Grandes. but shipments have begun at last and it is expected to send the balance of the ere to Fl Paso within short time.

TIGHT M0NEYHAS EFFECT GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
Section Rich in Mineral, Agri- culture and Timber Be-
 ing Opened Up.
SlNAl0 LAND
 COMPLAINTS OFFER

This company. which now has a branch office in Bisbee, is doing quite business, and their agents have sue ceeded in interesting quite a number |'of investors who will shortly make trip 10 inspect the lands of the com pany. They have direct titles from the Mexican government for about one million acres of the choicest lands in the State mentioned. These lands are traversed by the main riy- CTS of the State, which lead from the mountains to the coast and em- brace agricultural, grazing and tim Der land, besides having coat anC oil, which comes within the titles. The Rio Turne, on which most of the company's lands are located has some of the most fertile valleys of any river in Mexico and is nayigable for light-dranght boats for a distance of 70 miles from the coast. At the head of the different rivers on which those lands are located large tracts of timber-pine and oak--are to be had. If purchasers desire to pur- chase same for the demand for lum- Der and timber will shortly be very great in this State on account of the railroads now building.
 These lands can be purchased on the three-payment plan, one-third down, balance in yearly payments, with g liberal discount for all cash, in tracts of 100 to 10000 acres. with prices ranging from s1.00 to $500, according to location and quality of land.
 The Southern Pacific Company is now building a railway from Guay- mas, in Sonora, across the entire length of this State, to the City of Guadalajara. touching all the prin- cipal towns. and will pass directly through this company's holdings.
 This State is considered to be the richest in undeveloped mineral re- sources of any in the Republic of, Mexico. and the advent of railways and smelters which will revolution ize the present conditions of mining, will without question bring unbound ed prosperity. as well as increase the values of all lands in the State.
 The general climatic conditions of Sinaloa compare favorably with that of California. The weather from Oc- tober to May being delightful; from May to July the temperature being somewhat higher. During this period, however, the country is a veritable paradise. the vegetation being green as an emerald. The cost of living is very moderate, native labor being plentiful and cheap. The markets for farm and dairy products are exceed ingly good. A great many investors from California have already settled on the lands of this company. An excursion is run every month from that State for the benefit of investors and people wishing to inspect this company's property. A party of Bis bee investors will leave here within the next ten days, accompanied by the company's local agent.

MEXICAN AT WACO
 BENT ON MURDER.
BOTTLE OF TEouILLA AND HON. ICIDAl TENDENCY LEAD
 TO CUTTING SCRkPE.

A Mexican with half dozen wounds from a knife along his backbone lies in a dangerous condition across the line from Naco as a result Of an at tack made upon him few days ago by another Mexican armed win blade, says the Naco Budget.
 The two Mexicans, accompanied by the wife of the wounded man, were on their way to the San Jose mine from Naco, and when some few miles from the town the assailant sudden ly became loco. The party had stop ped to rest at the time, and while do- ing so were putting in time extract ing the contents from bottle of te- quilla. The locoed individual was boasting that he had killed several men in his lifetime, when suddenly without warning he drew a murder ous-looking knife and proceeded to carve up his male companion.
 The victim was unarmed and had no means of defense. and his assail- ant only desisted from his attempt at murder when he imagined tha- the wounds he had inflicted were suffi- cient. He made his escape. The wounded man was later brought back to town.
 The would-be murderer has not been apprehended, and has probably made good his escape. The wounded man is improving slowly, but he IS still far from being out of danger. The name of the wounded man IS Juan Michel; that of his assailant Erachio Vasquez, although here he has gone under the alias of Jose Ca brera

CONSOLIDATED RESUME
Tombstone Mines Company Will Soon Be Sinking :,
 Again in Big Shaft.
BIG PUMPS MAKE
 WATER GO DOWN.

TOMBSTONME. April 10.-Sink. ing, in all probability. will be re- sumed in the big shaft of the Consoli- dated Company within the next week or ten days. The water which has covered the pumps and workings of the 800 for sometime has been lower ed below that level during the past few days. and yesterday both of the pumps on that level were started up.
 During the past week, under the di- rection of Master Mechanic Sam Garrett and Pumpman Harry Housen. the water has been lowered at a sur prising rate. being forced down as fast as the sinking pumps could De lowered, three being lowered one day and two the next. the water being forced down at the rate of over B. 100000 every lwenty-four hours or measured in the shaft a depth of ten feet per day. On Sunday the final rush was made and the boilers fired up to their capacity, the measurement of the water for the twenty-four hours ending on Monday morning showed that 5.720.000 gallons had been pumped from the shaft during that time.
 When the S00-foot level was reached -ha pumpmen started the Dow pump first and it soon had a good sized stream of water going up to the 600, where it is handled by the big pump to the surface. The big pump on the 500 level was then started and was found to be in excel lant shape after being several months uI.ler water. When these pumps had been started all of the sinkefs were cut out with the excep- ton of one, and the saving of steam power is immense.
 It IS expected that 1t viii take a few days more pumping to drain the water from the S00-foot level, and then the sinking in the shaft will be resumed But one sinking pump will be used in the shaft then to handle the water that comes into the shaft. all of the water from the 500 which runs in is now carried around the shaft so that it goes into the stump and Is then picked up by the Dow pump.
 Barring unforeseen accidents, the water should be lowered so that sink ing can be resumed in che shaft the early part of next week, and it is the intention to rush the work as rapidly as possible to reach the 10o0-foot level so that actual development can be done in all of the properties.
