EQUALIZING OUR TAXES
Meeting of the Territorial Board in
 Phoenix.

The territ, rial board of equalization consists of Auditor c. H. Boone, T. D. Satterwhlte, of Tucson, from the first district; Col P. Leith, of Pima, Graham county, from the second district; and Morris Goldwater, of Prescott, from tn e forth distrect; Ben Heney, of, Tucson, If the secretary, and very competent and courteous one at that.
 Yesterday the full board held their regular August meeting at Auditor Boone's office, in the Fleming block. Petitions were presented frem two rail roads asking for reduction in their ass- ess d valuation.
 The Atlantic & Pacific requested that the boards rating of 5000 per mile be lowered to S3,000. A supplementary petition, however, intimated that S4, 900 would not be unacceptable. The re- duction was only asked as a temporary measure, necessltated by the hard times, the recent strike and the fact that the road was in the hands of a reciever.
 Bullocks' old road, the Prescott & Arizona Central, which lrew up the sponge. ceased running am went into the hands of a reciever as soon as the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad from Asa Fork reached Yavapai's capitol, thought $500 per mile would bs high rating for it, particularly as it has already defaulted on its taxes for the past two years.
 Col. Herring appeared and made one of his skillful pleas in favor of reducing last yesr's assessment of S6000 per mile to 300 on the Arizona & Southeastern railroad, from Benson to Fairbank. All these petitions were taken under consideration. As soon as they are disposed of, other properties, such as live stock and lands will be equalized' Returns from Pinal county are not yet ID, and the board cannot proceed be- yond the railroad cases, till they are sent in.
 Adjournment was taken till 10 o'clock thls morning-Gazette.

The following remarkable event in Iady's life will interest the reader: "FOr long time I had terrible pain at my heart, which tlut- tered almost necessarily. I had no appetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up in bed and belch gas from my stOm- ach until thought every minute would be my last. There was a feeling of oppression about my heart, and was afraid to draw a full breath. 1 couldn't sweep a room with out sitting down and resting; but, thank God, by the help of New Heart Cure all tha5 is past and I feel like another woman Be- fore using the New Heart Cure I had taken different sO-called remedies and been treated by doctors without any benefit until l was both discouraged and disgusted. My husband bought me a bottle of Dr. Miles New Heart Cure. and am happy to say never regretted it, as l now have a splendid appetite and sleep we'll. I weighed I25 pounds when l be- gan taking the remedy, and now weigh 13O1s. Its effect in my case has been truly marvel ous. It far surpaSseS any other medicine have ever taken or any benefit ever re- ceived from physicianS."-MrS. Harry starr, PottSvilIe, Pa, October F. 1892
