ATTACKING THE REVENUE.
An Important Suit Begun Yes
terday.
If 1t Goes One Way the City VIII
Have Big and Perplexing
Hole to Fill.

Litigation began in the recorders
court yesterday which if it terminates
one way would be as EN- barrassing to
Phoenix as wholly adverse decision of
the supreme court in the income tax
case would have been to the Democratic
administration.
Chauncey F. Ainsworth, manager Of
the Lemon hotel, was arrested for re-
fusing to pay the quarterly license i'm
posed by the ordinance.
The proceedings were entirely formal
as it was understood that the trial
would settle nothing but was merely a
preliminary step in the progress of the
case to higher courts.
The defendant was fined $25 and an
appeal was taken. The defense con-
tends that the ordinance will not hold
water if it is sufficiently tested, and
that no ordinance for the imposition of
licenses according to the present plan
can be drawn.
Lawyers generally believe that the
ordinance is all right and will be sus-
tanned in any court to which the case
may be taken. If however the ordi-
nance should be found invalid SIS to
hotels it will be invalid throughout its
whole lenghth and an annual municipal
revenue of between SIS, 1000 and $751; 900
would be cut off.

Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN.

Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN,.
GoLDFI Id, Ariz., April "a. Nee
han and Morse, owners OF the
Earl mining claim. have been con-
tinuing development work on their
claim with very satisfactory results.
In the west shaft free gold is found in
fair qualities.
The shaft on the Wasp mine has been
sunk over twenty feet and free gold has
been found from point close to the
surface quite regularly as depth was
attained.
A carload of lumber was shipped tor
the Mammoth Mining Co., to Tempe.
Two wagon loads of 8xS tim bers have
already reached the mine.
Geo. Wagner and E. WEIGH have
started out on prospecting tour. with
the intention, it is understood of inter
viewing the Lost Dutchman.
Mr.. Hauley recently returned from q
six weeks trip through the mountains.
He has devoted much time to viewing
the cenery and inhaling the balmy air
of Reavisita. This district while not
exactly rich IN the precious metals will
eventually be an iron mining region of
vast proportions. Large bodies or
rather mountains of haematite are
found, as well as huge deposits of
franklynite, and as there is an abund-
ance of wood and water for ordinary
purposes many of the semi roasted citi-
zens OF Phoenix seek the sheltered
glades OF this enchanted spot during
summer months.
Eugene and Charles Cadotte have
been prospecting around the Weaver
Needle and have been developing a
promising seam which may lead to an
ore body. There have been mum Der
of parties in the Needle country. The
mum Der of large ore bodies which lie
between the Needle and the Supersti.
ton mountain having peculiar attrac-
ton for prospectors. The small per-
centage of gold to the ton of rock has
had lettering effect as to the develop
ment work thereon, though it is pos
sible some rich streaks may be found
through the lodges, which would pay
for the expense of sinking on the main
ore bodies.
The owners OF the Goldield mine
have been taking a sample OF their
mine with g view to making a mill run
on it Of an early date.
Deans and Payton have completed
their work at Second Trater and met
with fair success.
Mrs. Annie Neiss, who has been un-
der the DOCTORS care for some time, is
now convalescing RAPIDLY, and it is
hoped that she will soon be able to be
about.
Work on the Stella W. mine has been
continued to depth of over fifty feet
in the shaft. The shaft, which is an
incline, has been lately sunk under
the ledge. The miners are. however,
coming into the foot wall of the ledge,
and when the crosscut across the ledge
is made, which will require about fl
teen feet OF work, the pay streaks which
were so rich twenty feet higher up, will
be disclosed, it is hoped, with as salts
factory results as before.

Ezeta Has a Tug.

San Francisco. Dec. 4.-The tug Bar clay Golden, which Manuel Casin, one or the supporters of General Ezeta, has chartered to go down to San Salvador will probably sail tomorrow.

It is stated that the vessel will proceed Tn inc direction of Acapulco and there meet A schooner loaded with arms and ammu- nitfon. The tug will not attempt to land at IaLibertad or LaAjutad. but will land her cargo at certain point on the Central American coast. There are arms and ammunition at one of the central American ports that will be brought off in barges to the tug.

Only $500, ,OO0 of Gold Has Been Deposited
 With the Treasury.
 Washington Dec. 4.-Since Secretary Carlses offer to pay the express charges both ways for gold deposited in order to build up the gold reserve, slightly over $500, 900 in gold has been deposited in con- formity with the offer. Many millions of dollars of gold have been offered by national banks, but the conditions at tached have been such that Secretary Carlisle has declined to receive 1t. For instance, $700, ,000 in gold was offered by Louisville, Ky, banks. The gold was light weight, and the banks wanted It accepted at it's face, and not it's bullion, value Many banks in western sub-treas- ury cities offered to deposit gold If they were given a credit in New York. The terms of the original offer expressly pre- clude this being done, as it was not the intention of the treasury to assume the aexpense of exchange for national banks. The offer states that the gold must De deposited in the nearest sub-treaSury Dy the depositor and currency would De forwarded in exchange. the treasury pay ing express charges both ways. It dld not contemplate the deposit of gold in one sub-treasury city and the delivery or currency therefor in another Sub-treas- ury city at the governments expense. In the meantime withdrawals of gold from the treasury will continue, and the gold reserve is now slightly below $79,- GOO 000

An Old Rule Unearthed

Washington, Dec 4.-If the populists should enter an objection to the election of the republican chairmen of commit tees, and that party cannot get the nec- essary ajority, it transpires that they can place a majority of their senators on the committees anyhow. Some one in the caucus today called attention to rule "A of the senate This rule has been in force since 1929, and it's pertinence to the present situation was unnoticed until this afternoon. What the report brings may be easily apparent upon reading the text of this rule, which is as follows:
 "In the appointment of standing com mittees the senate, until otherwise or dered, shall proceed by ballot to appoint severally the chairman of each commit tee, and then by one ballot the other members necessary to complete the same. A majority of the whole number of votes given shall be necessary to the choice of a chairman of a standing com mittee, but a plurality of votes shall elect the other members thereof. All other committees shall be appointed by ballot until otherwise ordered; a plural ity of votes shall appoint"
 Whatever of doubt may exist as to the power of the republicans to command a majority, there can be no question of the fact that they have plurality over the democrats.

Pure Sys,

Butterine is much abused product As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of fe an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: ''The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as a most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. S. w. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: GA blessing for the poor, and in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

A Rig Land Deal,

Augusta, Ga. Dec. 1.-The Chronicle has received a special from Thomson, Ga, telling of the largest land deal ever consummated in this section of Georgia. The tract of land consists of some 5000 acres lying in Columbia and McDuffie counties. and situated about twenty three miles from the city of Augusta. It was sold for division among the heirs of the late pr. James S. Hamilton, and was bought by MT. John E. Smith, a prosperous farmer of that neighborhood, who paid in cash $33000 for the tract. This deal simply goes to show that there are farmers in the south who have cash money on hand and who have faith in the south's present and future.
 MT. Smith will run the farm next year himself, placing on it some 200 blows in addition to those already on the planta- ton Less than one-half of the tract is under cultiYat ton at present.

THE VIRGINIA ASSEMBLY
Receives Message From Governor 0ferral Suggesting Wise. Legslation-The
 States Finances.

Richmond Va, Dec. 1.-The Virginia assembly met at noon today. The offi- cers nominated in the caucus were elect ed. Governor O'Ferrall in his annual message declares that the financial con- dition of Virginia is excellent, and the settlement of the state debt with the creditors is so satisfactory it is probable that no contention will be renewed on the subject. He expresses confidence that steps will be taken by the legislature to restore the University of Virginia, which was partially burned in October.
 He asks for generous appropriations for pensioning Confederate veterans and widows. He inVokes the power of the leg islature to stamp out lynching, and rec ommends the subject to An act requiring every county or city to pay into the treasury of the state for the benefit Of the public free school fund the sum of $200 for each 1000 of population, not ex- ceeding 10000, for every lynching which may occur within it's limits, and that the expense of the militia called to pro- tect a prisoner from violence shall be refunded to the state. The governor sug- gests that the penalty for rape be death in every case, and that an indictment for either offense, shall have precedence over every case on the docket. GoVerhor O'Ferrall maintains that 1t is the duty of Virginia to preserve personal liberty, and that no man shall be compelled to work unless it be for penal punishment If he is not satisfied with his wages he has the right to stop work. On the other hand, no man should be compelled by menace, threats or force to withdraw from his work When that is done he is no longer free man, and whosoever thus deprives him of his right to labor and to earn livelihood robs him of that which is granted to every man in this land of equal rights and freedom. He I nOI1 I,at ic h AI1t " n to protect all property. and defends his course in using the militia for this pur- pose whenever it seemed necessary. He demands the enactments to put an end to horse race gambling in the state, and in- slsts that pool selling in all its forms be absolutely prohibited. He asks that prize fighting be made a felony, and calls for special act to break up lawlessness in that portion of the state opposite the Dis trict of Columbia.
