ALL MINING LocA rloNs TO nc rAxED.

n response to Sn inquiry from Ter ritorial Auditor Thos. Hughes, Attor- ney General wm. Herring has ren- dersd tho following opinion
 TOMBSTONE, March 22, 1889. Hon, Thomas Hughes Territorial Au- ditor,
 DEAR SR-In answer to your in- quiry, whether mining claims should be included in assessment lists, my reply is, that in tho decision in ''Wal- ker, respondent vs, Hughes as treasurer of the county of Pima and ex-oflicio tax collector" the supreme court of Arizo na has decided that "the revenue law does not exempt mining claims from taxation. It simply provides that the term land as used in the law shall not be so construed as to include mining claims, either lode or placer,
 The court manifsstly based its deci- sion upon construction of the statute of the compiled laws" The provis- ions in the compiled laws passed upon by the court are reincorporated' in the revised statutes of Arizona.
 My answer, therefore, to your in- auiry is, thai under the decision of the supreme court of this Territory and ex- isting statutes, mining claims should be included in assessment list
 beg leave to refer you to the case of Forbes ys. Garcey 94-U, $. 762, This case very clearly makes the dis tinction between cases where tax is q valid lien on the mine itoelf, and where it Is a lien only on miners possessory right, under existing laws and regula. tions, to work and explore the mine.
 The supreme court of the United States has decided that ( mining claim is property in the fullest sense of the word, and that it is subject to a lien for taxes, and may be sold for the nor payment of them without interfering with the title of the United States.
 h assessing mining claims, assessors should be admonished by the languag, of the supreme court in Waller vs Hughes
 Mining claims, like other property must be valued by the assessor. Mere ly making a list of such claims ant placing on the same an arbitrary value Is not a valuation of tho property sucl as is contemplated by law
 The responsibility for this law rest. with our territorial legislature It's in depreciation by our supreme court mus be guide to every county assessor who has no alternative but to include mining claims, in his assessment re turns to the supervisors of his county.
 Very respectfully yours
 WILLIAM HERRING,
 Attorney General.

Another storm started in southern Texas, and it's course was directly towards the track of the other one, coming together with terrific force at Towanda, Kansas. Four towns in Kansas arc completely wiped out and others are badly wrecked, and many lives lost. Al Burlington, Iowa, a train was blown from the track, iniuring dozen or moro passengers At Chicago seven story brick build ing was blown down, killing eight per sons and fatally injuring many others.
 Al 1owanda, Kansas, place of 300 inhabitants, but one building was left intact Five people were killed out right, ten were fatally injured and fifty more or less seriously maimed, A child was blown from its mothers arms, and its head and body were later picked up a hundEod feet apart. In Sumner coun- ty one house with thirteen occupants was carried 300 yards and dumped in a heap, all the people being seriously, and some fatally, hurt The destruo- ton of the telegraph and telephone wires has been so extensive that it will be several days before complete news will be known.
 LATER NEWS or THE STORM.

It is now estimated that the list of fatalities will reach sixty in Kansas alone. Three are reported killed at Oklahoma. In Butler county, Kansas, son of William Eggers was blown from his fathers arms by the force of the wind and dashed to death against B tree. William Corners and James Horton were driving q light wagon when the storm approached. Connors jumped out and ran to the head of the team, when the tornado struck them. The wagon with the horses were blown away and Horton was killed. James Wilson, of Greenwood county, was caught up by the tornado, carried through the air and dashed against a barn where 0 scantling was run through his body, and he died in horrible agony. The house of William Rice in Towanda was not only taken away but even the foundation stones were blown out of the ground, and the place was smoothsd over as if there had never been house tbsre.
 Another storm prevailed in Kansas and western Missouri on the night of April 9th, and the telegraph wires ars pfostrated, and advices are msagre. At Cherryvale, Burlington, Fort Scott, Garland and Emporia, much damage was done and many persons injured. A heavy hail storm prevailed at the time.

From the jewelers. Review.
There are three kinds of rubies, the Oriental
ruby, the spinel ruby and the balas ruby. The
first is the only true one. The latter differ
considerably in comparison from tn, first. The
true is composed almost exclusively Of aiumina
In the latter are only seven-tenths of alumins,
the remainder being chiefly magnesia. The
color. moreover is due partially to the oxide Of
chromium, a substance Of which the genuine
ruby has not a trace.
In commerce the balas ruby has much infe-
rior value to the spinel. This is generally of a
vivid poppy-red color; the balas is of violet
rose, although Pegu has furnished white and
white violet spinels and Sudermania even blu
ish gray ones. 1t can be seen at once. there
