BERLIN, May 4.-The Liberal newspa-
pers violently attack the bill to be intro
duced in the Reichstag increasing the
taxes on BOurse and other financial Oper-
atoms. They say it is calculated to in
terfere with speculation and injure the
Investment market. Such a law, they
claim, would especially damage the Ber-
lin BOurse. The feeling in commercial
circles is one Of Indignation. The adop-
ton of the bill by the Reichstag is there
tore doubtful.

4 Gas Exnlosion.

| dld moi, neither do I, propose to enter into any discussion through the press m regard to the merits or demerits or me different lights we have in this city' But in referring to letter in the otar ot September 10th, 1884. by NIT. wilkins on behalf of the Electric Lirht Oo, l see that gentleman is in extreme oarkness and as a charitable act I wish 10 give him some little light, Cnot at seven dollars per thousand cubic feet but tr3e.) The gentleman starts off bv siving our city council a slap, evidently comparing, and desiring to measure other peoples wheat by his half busbel.- Inc city council being composed of gentlemen amply able to take care of themselves, shall only state that his lnsinuations were very unjust, uncalled Tor and without any foundation what ever. In regard to the petition, adhere to the original proposition notwitb- standing all he has sad to the contrary.
 The gentleman goes on to state all he knows about how the gas comUany sprang into existence, the intention. tbe result, etc. Of this, from his evident lack of light Tn the matter and a bid for information l will only state that tbe gas company is not iodebted to anyone. they have never assessed anyone ont of The company aud 1t being a private bus,- ness matter there is no necessity or ms Knowing who or what the stock holders are.
 The gentleman attacks the gas itself. "The cas should be of a standard onsI. ny, but Is Tar below standard quality" And further on he states: "Mr. Stranss says It Is twenty candle power. Now, I assert Tor fact that the gas at present delivered m this city Is not fifteen can Gle power, and l defy Mir. Stevens to prove to the contrary"
 Now, ID regard to the above statement, had not the gentleman been SO positive ln hls assertion, and defied contradic- ton, II would have been harmless to his argument, but l propose to prove by facts to the gentleman himself, and To every citizen who cares to know, that his statements are not facts, and 10 this end l have had gns judge placed at No. lU0 Congress street, where all are in- uted, and Mir. Wilkins in particular, to examine for himself.
 IL Is not my purpose to attack the electric hght. We are in the light busi- ness, and being in this business have acted very fairly by our opponents when they had the contract for lighting the city. We came to their rescue and lighted the city buildings, which they paid Tor, for the reason that they could not hght them with their system of electricity. Furthermore, We have never refused any private consumer to have gas, Tn order that he might see his electric light perform. And every one, or nearly SO, tbat uses tue electric fluid find it absolutely necessary to have their place provided with gas

Progress of Copper Mining.

In an article on the progress of cop per mining in this country, the Boston Commercial Bulletin says:
 "When the Western mines first began to be worked it was doubted whether thelr products would be soft enough to compete with Lake metal, even II pro duced upon a paying basis. The copper of Colorado is principally by-product of silver. and contains silver and asenlc, which impair it's desirability for rolling into sheets and tubes O. drawing into wire. and it is consequently used prin.. cipally for castings; but the products or mines in Arizona are being used ID place of Lake by some ot the largest rolling mills and tube works m New England and the prejudice in favor ot Lnke copper is over. In regard to future Drlces of copper 1t should be said that -bough the American market IS likely 10 be the most important factor m tEe world hereafter. the prices here VIII probably he trifle lower than 10 Eng land. vet it is by no means certain that an advance may not occur III the latter countrvn

TWcGty Years Ago.

Twenty years is generation, as the worli goes, and a generation marks many changes wrought by the mutations uf remorscless time. Twenty years ago the first legislature Of Arizona met. when John A. Goodwin was governor. Only @ handlll of tha- body arc now left on earth, whilc the story ot the brief journey of the others down to ihe grave would be a sud tale indeed. Some dieG peacefully IT. the full enjoyment os all possible earthly comforts: some met death in the solitude of the frown- ing mountains, pierced by bullets shot by hostile Indians, while others passed away in various intermediate circum- stances to the cold. dark s,umbers of eternal rest.
 Among those who remain in the flesh and not yet ripe for the harvest of souls, are, from the council, of nine members, Francisco 5. Leon. Robert W. Groom and Henry \. Bigelow-only three. From the House of Representative, composed of eighteen members, there arc still eight alive: John C. CaproD, Gregory F. Harte, Jesus M. Elias. Nathan E. Appel, Luis G. Bouchet, Geo. M. Holaday, Jno. M. Boggs and Jackson McCrackin. Some of these are still strong and hearty, bearing their heavy burdens cheerfully, while few are near ly at the end of the journey, their feet almost touching the threshold of etern- fly.

Graham County.

The District Court for Graham county convened in Solomonville, the county seat, on Monday, September Ist, and adjourned on Saturday, the 18th. 4 very small evil calendar awaited the court, but it was fully compensated for in the volume of criminal cases. The grand jury considered fifty cases and found tventy-nine indictment, ignoring 2L The indictments were for the fol- lowing offences: Two murder, 1 rape, 6 larceny, 3 assault with intent to kill. 1 maintaining opium den, : malfeasance Tn office, 1 houseb. esking. i bribery. 1 extOrtiOn. Eleven criminals were con vlcted and sentenced to various terms CT Imprisonment at Yuma. Those in dlcted for malfeasance in office were the Sheriff, District Attorney and the Boarl Of Supervisors, aud their cases will moi probably como before the court urtil next May.
 The attendants upon the court from Tucson were well pleased with the peo- pie and their treatment while in Solo monville. Unfortunately, they were all afflicted with au unpleasant sickness for which no cause cou,d he found, until # was discovered that the water used from n ditch was SO very bad that dead coyote had to be thrown u t. neutral ize the bad taste. Perhaps this may be true.
 The courthouse in SolomOnville is A very good building, and the district court room IS larger than the one in Tucson. It IS a credit to the county of Graham, and the money expended in its Construction was well invested.
 The courty has debt of S.JSOOO of which Si3,O0O IS floating debt and Sl5,OOO a bonded debt, created hy building the court house. The tax for the current year Is three per cent.
 Educational matters are receiving considerable attention. Eleven school districts have been created and the schools are maintained nearly the whole year.

Some of this ore gives the astonishing assay of S23.O0O to the ton. The vein IS very narrow, going from one to five incAes wide. In selecting ore Tor shipment they have excluded all that assays less than $500 per ton, and they calculate the whole shipment will net them the latter figure.

They stripped her of all her clothing and shot and stabbed her many times. lt x sald that the perpetrators ot inc crime are known to the authorities, but are des- perate characters, and no attempt what erer has been made to arrest them.
