{ ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY.

District Attorney A. D. Lemon, of Maricopa county, at the re. quest of the Board of Super visors of that county, has given quite a lengthy opinion as to the duties ard rights of the assessor, in the assessment of property afteI the first day of June. All that he has said iu his opinion, which has been published in the Pbe- nix HeraId," has been right and proper, and so far as the opinion goes, it is good law; but Mr Lemon should have gone further, for It is a fact that the assessor can at any time after the first of June make assessments and proceed to collect the taxes on the same. The opinion, in one way, Is a guide to the assess
 or; but still it is silent as to the assessments liable to be made after the first day of June. At any time during the year the as' sessor can assess the property of a nonresident, and it is only in this respect that we differ with MT. Lemons opinion. The ques- tion of taxation of property in Arizona is daily becoming an im> portant one, and it cannot be too thoroughly investigated. It is proper and right at all times that the District Attorney of each county in the Territory should be called upon for his opinion upon these complex questions; and in such cases, too, he should give them his full consideration and time. In some counties in the Territory it has been the habit of the sheriff, as to time, to assess ad infinitum. This has been wrong; for the statute lim- its the time to June first; but by law of the last legislature the as sessor- can go beyond this time. See Session Laws, 1S8O-81, page S7. We can only think that if the law is fairly interpreted the assessor can have no difficulty.

OUR EDUCATIONAL WANTS.

It is now some eighteen years since Arizona was organized as Territory in the Union, and it is certainly time now that her edu' cational affairs should keep pace with her rich and growing min- ing industries. But such, is not the case, and little or no atten- ton has been given towards es- tablishing and founding a Terri torial University, or elevatlng the standard of ourpublic schools. Each local paper in the Territory may advertise, as they may please, their public schools; but after all they assimilate 10 faro game more than anything else: for as soon as school district has on hand a few hundred dollars, some pet teacher of a school trustee is thrust upon the school, teaches just long enough to draw the funds on hand, and for the balance of the term the school is closed. This should be reme- dIed, and the present condition of Arizona would we'll warrant her people in taking steps toward forming a competent system of education for her boys and girls. The young naan in Arizona, de- string to fit himself for either the medical or legal profession, or to ehter our military or naval acad- emies, can rarely do so, roming from our public schools. To-day there are at St. Mary's College, in San Francisco, eight young men from Yuma, who might be educated at home. There has been with us too much grasping for wealth, and not enough atten- ton paid to the moral and educa- tional advantages of Arizona. Such places as Phoenix, Tucson and Prescott should take some initiative steps in this matter, and move towards founding in the Territory a proper seat of earning.

IT IS quite amusing the way people misrepresent the climate of Yuma, each seeming to vie with the other in telling the biggest story. One day last week the thermometer stood at 1130. This in itself was bad enough; but the Los Angeles "Commer- cial" earns a life membership in the Sazarac Club by stating in its issues of both Saturday and Sun- day that the thermometer here registered 1300. Not satisfied with this, it adds insult to inju> ry by trying to make one of the railroad boys father one of it's most wretched puns. Railroad boys don't let themselves down to that level, quite; for all that was said by the one in question was: "When l get back to Los Angeles I shall ask for transfer. I expect, of course, to go to Hades see revised New Testa- menD when I die; but l prefer to go as green hand."i

TAXATION AGAIN.

We had thought that when the Board of Equalization of Yuma county had adjourned, the matter of taxing the mines was settled, and that We should hear no moro of it: but not so, however. Some papers always keep their side shows going, as is shown by the Free Press," in its last issue, when it endeaYors to charge upon the eleventh Legislative Assembly the purpose of leaving "the mining interests of the Ter "ritory in chaos of double tax "ation." The majority of the counties in the Territory are mining counties-in fact, all save Marfcopa-and when the law re- pealing the "act providing for "the taxation of the net proceeds "of mines" was passed, it is pre- sumed that tke members of each county properly represented tn cir constituencies. So far as the law is concerned, in relation to the taxation of mines, that was all ready plain and provided for. Just where the mining interest of the Territory was left in a state of chaos, we fail to discover. The manager of the SENTINEL was member of the last Coun- cil, having been sent there by the mining population of this county; and we have the satis- faction of Knowing that we fully represented the mining interests of our constituents, who ap- proved of our stewardship upon our return. In this connection we must add that prior to the re- peal of this law, only a paltry sum had ever been collected ir Yuma county; and we almost venture the assertion that the same state of things existed ir nearly every county in the Terri
 tory. We have the consolation of knowing that we have the gratitude of the miners of Yuma county for what we did for them both as a Legislator, and in tht columns of the SENTINEL. II fact, the law had been recognized as dead letter already.

ON THE first page of to d ty's issue we publish synopsis of the decision of the United States Circuit Court, for the District of California, in the case of the Jupiter Mining Co. vs. the BOdie Consolidated Mining Company. This decision settles many vexed questions, and has the additional value of covering a great deal of ground. Indeed, the points touched upon are so numerous and so fully elucidated that there should be little excuse for contro- versy in the future. We also publish the law in regard to the manner of presenting claims against the counties of this Ter litOry, and defining the duties of Boards of Supervisors. We shall, from time to time, publish such of the laws that were passed at the last session of the legislature, as may be interesting to our readers.

EASTERN dispatches and ex. changes speak of the fearful con- dition of the temperature in all of the Eastern and Middle states.
 The effects of the continued and excessive heat are being made manifest in an alarming increase in mortality in all of the large cities. In New York the number of deaths in twenty-fOlr hours, caused directly by the heat, was over sixty. In Chicago and Ciu' cinnati the death rate has been materially increased, in the for mer city running the rate up to 50.52 per une thousand. It is to be hoped that Prof. Venner's prediction will be verified, which is to give, between the 18th and the 22d instant, unusually cold weather for this time of the year.

A VALUABLE FIND.

Sometime during the summer Mr.. G..
J. Lee, a heavy farmer living on the
west shore of Lake Koshkonong, while
engaged in plowing, turned up from an
old mound the skeleton of one of the orr
ginal Mound Builders, the skull of which
is in an excellent state of preservation.
With the skeleton was also found some
rare pieces of pottery also we'll preserved.
The skull with the pottery has been plac
ed in the possession of Mr.. Henry
Haskell, of this town, who has the larg-
est and finest collection of archaeological
specimens to be found in the Northwest.
In order to get perfect description of the
''find' and its surroundings, Mr.. Has
kell addressed letter to Mr.. Lee for in
formation on the subject, and the follow
ing is that gentleman's reply:
BUssEYvILLE, Sep, 26, 1881.
HENRY HASKELL, ESQ:
Friend HasheU. [ received your
kind letter and will endeavor to comply
with your wishes. The mound that took
the skull out of is on my farm. 1t was
not ploughed until [ came here fifteen
years past. Briars and brushes grew on
it, and considerable stone placed on the.
top, rising to nearly peak, about eight
feet above the level. AS soon as I began
to plow found skeletons of the present
aboriginies with slabs of limestone, some
times over them and others under them,
as deep as two or three feet. Under these
skeletons was layer of ashes and from
the extreme height, as near as | can
guess (the mound being ploughed down
now as the mound was originally, would
be seven or eight feet But the skele-
ton was not under the center but eight or
ten feet south with the head pointing to
the center of the mound and the piece of
pottery on the right side of it. The body
incliniDg about As degrees. think the
mound is about 40 feet across it; about
one hundred yards from the Lake / have
found other skeletons, but so decomposed
that l could not handle them without
their falling to pieces. [ shall endeavor
to find others if live. would like to
find out if all the copper I find here was
manufactured by these aborigines or some
race before them, as [ have found cop
per spear head and a knife associated
with the copper. Or were the kettles ar
ticles of commerce by the present race?
They are SO mixed together that with
my present knowledge) [ cannot define
them. There are other mounds in the
neighborhood of larger dimensions than
mine.
Yours truly,

AN ARK BUILT IN FEAR OF AnoTHER
DELUGE.-A few miles below Otto, Ala,
there is an old negro named Moses, who
claims that he had a revelation from the
Lord, in which he received information
that the world would again be destroyed
by water. He was so convinced that the
destruction would be by water that he
at once began the work of building an
ark. He has been thus engaged for sew
eral months, and the result of his labors
may be easily seen from the river The
ark is very unlike the representation of
the one built by Father Noah, and would
doubtless not withstand any severe gales,
such as might be expected in cruise of
forty days and nights. This oddly con-
structed vessel or house is placed on a
high hill, ready for the rising water. It
is composed of several apartments, about
five feet wide and ten feet long, which
are placed on the top of each other.
Each has a small portico, and spires with
feathers as ornaments. Approaching the
dwelling of the negro, one has to pass
through very elaborately decorated ar
Dor, over the entrance of which are the
words: "Welcome, Peace, Rest and
Happiness. .''-Columbus (Ga.) Enquir-

GUITEAU AS A GLUTTON.

Guiteau has increased considerably in
weight, at least ten pounds, during his
incarceration. Within the past few days
(since the death of the President Che has
eaten ravenously. Whether this is
the result of fear or not, is not known,
but certain it is he now eats fully 80 per
cent. more than the average prisoner.
He is still on sick diet, and with his bread
and milk devours an immense amount of
meat. For several weeks after his con-
fnement he seemed to have but little care
on his mind other than to make himself
great hero but he is now anything else
than a hero even in his own estimation,
having since the death of the President
become so frightened that the least noise
fills him with alarm. After filling his
stomach, his next great care is to keep
his carcass whole. Since Sergeant Mason
shot at the prisoner, the soldiers on guard
in the building never see him, and some
of the regular guards only occasionally.
Yesterday afternoon he wrote one or two
letters and retired at his usual hour.
This morning he took a prodigious meal,
even larger than usual, and would have
eaten more if it had been given him.
After this he was allowed half an hours
exercise, and made good use of his time.
He then lay down, evidently in some pain
from overlooking his stomach. Ly n On
his couch, he was seen Dy some Vi the
guards, and as they approached he fairly
trembled. It was noticed that when he
was up he fairly trembled or painted, and
was evidently under the impression that
there was crowd coming Washington
Star.

pecially on Wednesday, was very large,
but on the oher days the damp weather
prevented people from attending. The
whale provei an immense attraction, the
balloon ascelsionS were the finest ever
seen in this State, and everything in
short passed )ff to the general satisfaction
of the public No accidents Of any kind
occurred. The exhibition of stock was
unusually lage, and the display in floral
hall was fine, to which the floral exhibit
made by Jos Warner, of Beaver DAM
contributed rot little. The village was
full of strangers during the entire week
and hotels ard saloons reaped rich har-
vest The attendance. from Watertown
was but erysmalAa fact that occasion

pie, who always patronize the Watertown
