The Tuson Star says that no industry
has taken such strides in Arizona the

and of silver, s252,7is.25. This shows

900 people of Asia aud the Asiatic
islands with whom we trade. Our
southern country is full of silver from
Los Angeles to the Colorado river, and

claims, and tax only those that produce
bullion, and SO give the miners chance,

Notwithstanding the large reduction
in Internal Revenue taxation, the receipts
of the Assistant United States Trea-

Both. 1888, from Internal Revenue taxes
in this State, amounted to S2,976, 2l3.04.
This might be reduced one half to the
advantage of the people. Customs du-
tics are also lower this year, but the
custom dues collected in July, this year,
are larger than they were in the same
time last year. There is yet room to
reduce rates on maay articles imported.
