TAXING MINES.
Gila County Mine owners Will Contest the
 Levy.

The taxation of mining improve ments in Gila county has created quite g stir at Globe as it is stated that the owners will not pay, but con- test the validity of the entire levy. An interesting statement is given in the columns of the Silver Belt from which we extract the following:
 "Globe and the portion of Gila county tributary to it, is entirely de- pendent for it's future prosperity upon the success of its mining industry. The board, however has done every- thing in its power to discriminate against the few successful mines now operating in the county, placing the assessed values of the three largest mining companies at about one. quarter the total valuation of all tbe property in the county.
 "The sworn statements of the rep resentatives of these companies, The Old Dominion, Buffalo and Rescue, were set aside without trying to get any additional testimony, and being entirely ignorant of the subject, the board placed value upon these proper ties that were excessive, arguing that the company would pay, and that they wanted the money. The valuation placed upon The Old Dominion Co.'S property was $238 900, while Tn south eastern Arizona, the Copper Queen having a much finer and more exten- sive property in every way, is only assessed $S9, ,0O0
 "The mines here cannot stand such an injustice and burden, and will re- sist the payment of taxes upon the outrageous valuation decided upon by the board. They will use every effort to succeed, for which the have more than an even chance. Then Gila county will be in very bad condition financially, and the residents will regret the zeal of their representa- tives."

The Star says that for the coming term of district court q busy term is expected. The United States business is rather more than usual, there being fifteen U. s. prisoners m the jail for the grand jury, and the territorial cases will be somewhat less than or dinarily, only ten prisoners awaiting the graud jury, against twenty-two for last term. A large number will also be brought before the U. s. grand jury under the Edmunds act.

THAT the mining laws of the United States were wrong from their incipiency was never more forcibly illustrated than by the condition of affairs exist ing in this mining district during the past seven yelrs. The law of the country places the sole ownership of all mineral in the individual, who may wish to own it by complying with certain regulations similar to those exacted of a farmer who wishes to homestead 160 acres of land. Hundreds of acres of land covering a vast amount of mineral can be secured from the government with as much ease as can a watch he purchased of a ieweller and the owner can dispose of the one, or lock it up with as much 8 curity, with the advantage in the ownership of the mine that gold watch pays more taxes than a full patented mining claim without improvements, but which may be held by the owner at a hundred thousand dollars valuation. To illustrate this more sorcibly- It has been intimated in more than one way that the Contention Co. will, if not able to do certain things which they desire. tear down tl cir work. which at present pay taxes of many hundred dollars, and ny 30 doing avoid taxati ,n, and no one doubts their right to do SO or their business sense in doing 80 il it is to tile benefit of the stockholders. Human nature, the world oyer, takes advantage of all the law allows, and q man is considered goo citiz .n who does not take more. There is not man in Tombstone but who would step into the boots of any of the big mine owners and live up to the letter of the law ir. the manage ment of them and consult his own. convenience in doing what he pleased with his property, but this does not excuse the law which allows private ownership Of any product which nature has provided and stored for our use. One of the first duties winch congress owes to the people of the country, and which the people owe to themselves is to bring to the attention of congress the necessity of Il radical change of our mining laws, and they need not go further than the benign l. ed republic of Mexico to take lessons in framing them.

THE PROspECTOR would

THE PRosPECTOR would caution every one against the natural incli- nation to hurrah until they are out of the woods. It would be wrong to send out any information concerning the future of our camp which would lead anyone to come here only to be out of sorts and pocket afterward. There is plenty of time after the announce ment is made in practical shape of a resu nption of deep mining, in which to herald the good news abroad.

Prof. Howard Killed.

Chas Hine and wife are in from the Swishelms feeling jubilant over a new strike in their claim. At depth of 35 feet streak of rich carbonate ore came in which is about 12 inches wide. Samples were brought in and assayed which returned a showing of l50 OF silver $27 gold and 35 per cent lead. This result was not known till this afternoon and was far above the most sanguine expectation.

Pumps

Nothing new has transpired since our last issue which will throw any light upon the proposed deep mining proposition. The majority of opinion is that nothing has been or will be accomplished as 8 result of the confer ence. Messrs. Leach and Gage talk discouragingly of the prospect. On the other hand there are many we'll informed persons who believe that the Contention company will make start anyway. This supposi'ion is based upon MT. Whites assertion that he would be back in thirty days. To lend color to this belief the PRosPECToR can say that it was shown prlvate letter today from San Francisco dated Sept. 9th, in which the writer said: "White, Parsons and Cheyney had meeting at the Palace hotel last week, at which they talked pumps, so you may have little stir in Tombstone this winter" The party writing this letter was ignorant of any meeting in Tombstone The fact that the T. M. X M. folks are in the deal will add ad- ditional interest to an already interes- ting topic of conversation.

following passed the senate in similar
manner, Evidently our delegation are
attending to business. Some Of the
important features of the charter have
been previously outlined. 1t provides
for division into two wards, Washing
ton street being the boundary line of
the division. In order to give each
ward its quota under the charter, G. c.
Peck was named for additional alder

January. There will be no other chang
es in the officials, except that the ap-
pointment of a municipal judge will de-
volve upon Gov. Merriam very soon, as
the charter takes effect as soon as
signed by the governor.
