County Division.

The Star wants to fix things before election rolls around so that the ques. tion of county division can be cut and dried before the next Legislature meets. lt says: "rhe subject of new counties continues to be discussed by the Wilcox people and the citizens of southern Pima, both of which peo- pies believe they are abundantly able to support county governments at a less cost to themselves than they are now required to pay as taxes. Ii this be so, there should be an amicabIe adjustment of the mstte- before the holding of the county conventions, the same as was done by the people of Prescott and Flagstaff in the creation of Coconino county"

4 GRAND SCOOP.
All Mining Locations Whether Patented or Not Must Be Assessed and Pay
 Taxes.

A most important decision has been rendered by Attorney General Herring which will revolutionize the whole mining field of Arizona and will startle the claimants of ten or twenty claims into beating a retreat fro m their supposed exemption from doing anything to hold them outside Of few minutes labor on the night of Dec 3lst. Here is the decision:
 Tombstone, March g, 1892. Hon. Thomas Hughes, Territorial
 Auditor.
 DEAR SIR-In answer to your in- quiry, whether mining claims should be included in assessment lists," my reply Is, that in the decisioh ID Wal ker. respondent vs Hughes as treasurer of the county of Pima and ex-ofiicio tax collector" the supreme court of Arizona has decided that "ihe rey- enue law does not exempt, nor does it undertake to exempt mining claims from taxation. IL simply provides that the term land as used in the law shall not be so construed as to in clude mining claims, either lode or placer.
 The court manifestly based its de- cision upon construction ol the statute of the compiled laws" The provisions in the compiled laws" pas sed upon by the court are reincorpor- zona."
 My answer, therefore, to your in. quiry Is, that under the decision of the supreme court of this Territory and existing statutes, mining claims should be included in assessment lists.
 l beg leave to refer you to the case of Forbes vs Garcey 94-U. $. T62. This case very clearly makes the dis tinction between cases where tax is valid lien on the mine itself, and where it is lien only on miners posessory right, under existing laws and regulations, to work and explore the mine.
 The supreme court of the United States has decided that a mining claim is property in the fullest senso of the word, and that it is subject to a lien for taxes, and may be sold for the non payment of them without inter fering with the title of the United States
 In assessing mining claims, assessors should be admonished by the language of the supreme court in "WalIer ys. Hughes.
 Mining claims, like. other property must be valued by the assessor. Mere ly making d list oi such claims and placing on the same an arbitrary value, is not valuation Of the pro- perty such as is contemplated by law.
 The responsibility for this law rests with our territorial legislature, Its interpretation by our supreme court mus, be a guide to every county as sessor, who has no alternate but to include mining claims, in his assess ment returns to the supervisors of his county.
 Very respectfully y"urs,
 WIiIIEa HERRING, Attorney General.

cora wood across IL acted as stel
 from which he reached the opening
 It might have been possible that confederate from the outside helped
 the men 10 escape.
 The names of the men who escaped
 are:
 Arthur Mendez, awaiting graud iufy on charge of burglary; committed tc jail August l5, 1891.
 | Ignacio Velasqnez, awaiting action grand jury; jailed August 18th, 1891
 Jack Memo, awaiting grand jury on charge of assisting prisoner to escape jailed Dec II,
 Alcanta Dematrio. awaiting grand jury on charge of grand larceny jailed Dec IT.
 Whitetield Oldham, awaiting grand jury charge of burglary; jailed Jan l9
 L. E. Mitchell and G. D. Davis, awaiting grand jury on charge of bur- glsry jailed March 4
 John McMullan, sentenced to 100 days for petit larceny: jailed March 4.
 Marie Estrado, awaiting grand jury on charge of assault with a deadly weapon jailed March 10.
 Jailor McDerrott, who was on watch, says that the men did not get away till toward daylight, judging from evidences that he observed when he discovered their flight. This would seem to be corroborated by the fact that at about 6 30 this morning Mrs. Hollands daughter saw several men waking rapidly toward the lime kiln on the ridge back of their house, which is located op the outskirts of town. These men were, no doubt, the es- caped prisoners.
 The men are in no condition to travel, being clad in cyeralls and thin undershirts. Two prisoners who are not locked up did not go with the gang, and one fellow was locked in his cell and could not have gone had he wished. Whether he was lock ed Tn intentionally or by mistake, he alone knows.
 There are evidences to show that he men who cut out 'had tried to cut through the floor and also through the wall at another polnt in the cell before deciding upon the place where they were so successful. They had wrapped up a lunch of bread and meat to take with them, which was held out from last nights meal, but left it behind. Sheriff Kelton and q posse are out toward the Dragons, but nothing has been heard of them since they started. Others are out ill different directions
 A gentleman who is we'll posted on county affairs states that the contract | for the construction Of the jail in 1882 | called for lining of boiler iron be- tween the wood and brick which was cut through last night and that he was dumbfounded to find that there | was nothing of the kind there. Had | it been known by former prisoners confined in the jail that nothing but wood and brick lay between them and liberty, some of the worst criminals in the county would have cheated the gallows or would ot now be serving sentences at Yuma. The next grard | jury will no doubt institute an inves- tigation of the present break, the reason for the rotten construction of the jail walls, and the cause for allow ing prisoners to be confined without a trial till they make such super human and successful efforts at escape as the one last night.
