the benefit of tiff not this year
then next.
1t offers inducement for fraud,
for School Trustees, to rush large
attendance for these three months
so as to draw school money; to
teachers, to make false returns for
the purpose Of having money to
keep a longer term.
No such law is in the statute
book of any State Or Territory
but ours; the money goes for the
benefit Of the children who might
or would go to school between the
ages OF six and eighteen; not for
that of those who only go for GER
tain three months; and so ought
it to be in Arizona. We pay the
money and employ the teachers,
if children or parents do not take
advantage of the public schools,
it is their loss, and not the fault
of those who wish to keep these
schools open and with competent
teachers. The tax is levied for
teaching the children, and should
be apportioned on the basis Of the
number of children in the County.

Santo Domingo T2incs.

Much attention is at this time being at
tracted to the Santo Domingo Mining
District, and the mines belonging to
AIessrs. Smith q Purdy are truly develop
ing into very valuable property. These
gentlemen own several claims in the Dis
trict, and have spentmuch time, labor and
capital in opening and prospecting them.
The Ell AIanto, Guadalupe and Fresh Start
mines have been worked to 4 greater eX
tent than the others, and at Il depth of ITO
feet-the bottom Of the deepest shaft
the showing is first class, warrantlng the
investment of any amount Of capital.
Smith & Purdy also own mill-site,
which, from the nature of things, has
great and lasting value, covering, as it
does, all the available water on the Amer
lean side Of the boundary line, and being
very accessible from the mines. The
principal mines Of the District are about
nine miles north Of the boundary line ard
some forty miles south Of the famous Ajo
mine. Rarely rich lode8 are found on
both sides OF and close to the line, and the
same mill-sitc has sufficient water for
them all. Mexico imposes no duties On
the expectation Of ore, and that started
from the lodes en- the Sonora side Of the
line could be hauled to and reduced At the
mill-site OF the American side, thus saving
the heavy tax levied by a-eXlco upon the
exploration Of precious metals. La Puert.a
de Libertad, safe harbor in the Gulf OF
California, is but sixty miles Distant and
supplies could be landed thereat cheaply
and safely. We look TO see an enterprise
of much magnitude some day based upon
the mines Of Santo Domingo District, and
the peculiar facilities afforded by the sur
rounding country for the carrying out OF
a large scheme.

IN compliance with circular issued by
the Secretary Of the Interior last August.
the governors Of the several territories are
beginning to send in reports to him. State
ments Of the resources and condition of
The territories under their charge have al
ready been received from the governors
of Montana, Idaho, Washington Territory
and Utah. Facts of great interest are
brought out by these reports. For in
stance, Montana, of which so little is pop
ularly known in the east, collects large
school taxes, which with six exceptions
are greater per capita than in any Of the
states. The territory is as large as New
England, with New York thrown in; is
fertile, well wooded, and has q delightful
climate. Reports have never before been
received at the Interior department from
governors OF territories. The innovation
would seem to be q good one.-W aslsing

Work for the Leglslature

Since the repeal of the United
States Bankrupt Law, each State
or Territory has passed, or will
enact, an Insolvent Law Of their
own.
There is but one State or Ter
ritory On the Pacific Coast that
has not its own Ins0lvent Act
id est, Oregon.
There is very little difference
in any of them, they are, in fact,
uniform, and are taken from the
California Act, passed in 1852, and
re-adopted by the Code.
Would it not be wise for cur
Legislature to adopt this Califor-
MIA law as it stands?
No question can arise as to the
necessity or expediency of Gen
eral Insolvent Act. Business
men will and must fail to meet
their liabilities, and, if there be
no General Law, they will make
assignments, and ii is but human
nature for men to favor their
friends, especially those among
their creditors; there should be
no friends in cases Of this nature,
that is to say preferred friends,
or preferred creditors; and the
only way to prevent this is to
have law general in its applica-
ton. But woe betide us if our
newly fiedged legislators under
take financial legislation Of any
kind without due and mature
consideration.

TRANSFERS are complaining a
good deal about the crossing Of
the railroad track. It is bad for
heavy teams, very; but as soon as
the track reaches the hills, a few
carloads OF gravel will be put in,
and meanwhile a few pIanks will
help out. We make this predic-
ton on the assumption that Col.
Strobridge's attention has been
called to the matter, and under
the conviction that construction
is being prosecuted with as little
damage as possible to local III

Public School Fund
Section 5 of Chapter % Of the

Section 5 of Chapter % Of the
Compiled Laws says:
"It shall be the duty Of the
Governor, subject to the super
vision of the Territorial Board of
Education, to apportion to the
several counties, on the second
Monday of January, June and
September, of each year, the
amount of money to the credit Of
the School Fund to which each
County shall be entitled under
the provisions Of this Actin pro-
portion to the average number of
children that have attended
school in each of said counties
during the three months prior to
January 1st of each year"
Why on basis of attendance at
school for three months, and why
select these particular months?
Previous to 1876 the basis OF
apportionment of funds for the
public schools was that of " the
number of children in each
County between the ages Of six
and twenty-one years" This
basis seems more just than that
of the presentlaw. An epidemic,
illness or death of teachers, in
clement weather, and many other
causes may prevent the attend
ance Of children during these
months, and they must suffer the
balance of the year because OIL
this basis of apportionment.
There is no reason in it; every
child has a right to the benefit OF
its proportion Of school money,
whether it is prevented by any
cause from attending school foI
the three months prior to Jan
uary first or not.
Every property holder pays bis
quota towards the School Fund,

This railway company is sin giving

good thing for the country at large, if
it had vitality enough 10 build its

port be true, it is evidently intended for
effect upon Congress, as every possible
influence is being exerted in this direction
Recently a great, Commercial Convention
was held in Chicago ostensibly to promote
trade between this country and the Re
public Of Mexico, but as a mater Of fact
its main object was to pass resolutions
calling upon Congress to aid the Texas
Pacific company. Secretary Gosper Of
Arizona, figured in said convention under
the probable belief that it was for the
promotion Of trade with Mexico. The
Chicago Tribune, Cincinnati Commercial
and other very strong anti-subsidy papers,
declare the movers Of the convention got
it up in the sole interest Of the Texas
Pacific, and the principal resolution
passed, shows they are right. Now that
Arizona il being rapidly spanned by a
railway, our people have less interest in
the Texas Pacific than they did a few years
ago.-CHizen.
