10 BE TAXED.

State -d"dttor Dunn Nukes Il ProDey Rui-
ing Rctot,ve to Mineral Lands Held
Under Stute Leases.
State Auditor Dunn has mott
tied Auditor Halden to place all
the mineral lands in this county
which are not being operated, on
the tax list, the same as other
property, This order will stir
up hornets nest amongst those
who own or have contracts on
the state mineral lands, and will
cause a corresponding amount of
rejoicing on the part of those
who own other property and are
not directly interested in the
mines. Taxes in this county,
and more especially in this city,
are something abhorrent, and the
extremely high taxes on other
classes of property is greatly
augmented by the fact that there
is no tax on the mining lands
proper.
Most of these lands are taken
under fifty year contracts, where
by the party taking the land
agrees to pay the state 800 per
year and l cent per ton on all
the ore taken from the land. The
highest amount they are required
to take from the lands in a year
under the contract is so, 900 tons,
and this yields the state only
$500 per year, or $500 in all, and
the county or municipality gets
nothing.

Fell DO,cn the Shaft.
Last Monday evening fatal
accident happened at the Pho
neer mine whereby Herman
johnson was instantly killed by
falling down the shaft, a dis
lance of 225 feet, says the Ely
Miner. Mr.. Johnson, with sew.
eral other men, was descending
the shaft with a piece of gas
pipe, about eighteen feet long,
They arrived safely on a certain
level. where part of the mer
were to get off. The cage stop
ped and these men got off al
right. Mr.. Johnson, with the bal
ance of the men, remained upor
the cage and were going lower,
1t is necessary before starting tc
raise the cage several feet in or.
der TO permit the chair on which
the cage rests to be withdrawn
This was done in this instance.
AS the cage went up the upper
end of the gas pipe struck one
of the side timbers. which caus
ed it to suddenly bend, and the
bend threw Mr.. johnson off the
cage and he fell to the bottom OF
the shaft, distance of about
225 feet, as above stated. Mr.
johnson was a young married
man, about % years of age, anc

children, as we'll as a host O:

Minas Prietas Notes.
Continued from First Page.

A new air compressor llas been or dered for the Creston mine. It will be built by Frazier X Chalmers iron works of Chicago, and the largest machine of the kind ever turned out of that foundry, if not the largest in the world.
 George E. Gray, an old and widely known resident of Sonora, is dying of cancer of the stomach, and is likely to have breathed his last ere this lines are printed. On Sunday he had been able to swallow nothing for four days, and in all that time had been kept alive by rectal injections of milk and brandy.
 Mir H. T. Richards has closed deal with Mr. J. II. Cardon of Hermosillo, by which for an interest therein he does stipulated amount of develop ment work upon some very promising claims in the Prietas camp, owned by MT. Cardon and associates. Last week the two gentlemen were at Prietas engaged in making surveys of the ground and other work preliminary to active operations.
 The experts who arc examining the great properties here for the syndicate of English capital which has an option to buy them, are working very system atically. They are taking accurate measurements of all ore bodies, stopes, drifts, etc, and have the exclusive use of the assay office at the Prietas mill for making their tests. There are four or five experts engaged in this work
 At depth of 150 feet in the Don Ignacio ground the diamond drill cut good auriferous vein seventeen feet in width. It is now the intention of La Compaiiia Union Minera de Las Prietas," which owns the ground, to sink three compartment shaft, at a cost of sS0,000. Beside the vein cut by the diamond drill two other good lodges are known to be in this ground, and the famous ledge of La Nina Co., lorada pitches into it.
 In La Veta Madre mine strong flow of water has been recently struck at depth of l50 feet, and it increased so rapidly that in seventeen feet deeper further sinking was necessarily suspended until pump could be put in, which will be within the next two weeks. The flow is now about 10000 gallons daily of an excellent quality of water, which in camp where water is so scarce is of itself veritable bonanza. Heretofore all water used at this mine has been hauled from a distance at cost of s per barrel. Now they are giving away water.
 Joe Thompson is as busily engaged as ever in construction of heavy ma sorry for the company. It is but a little time since he completed the the foundation for the new CTeston hoist, which took 300 barrels of ce- ment, and he is now building dam for a reservoir close to the town of Prietas. It Is on the site of one erect ed by the old Minas Prietas company in 1882, but which went out on ac- count of faulty construction. Joe will put up dam which will stick. Itis aimed to get it completed to catch and hold the water which will fall in the approaching rainy season. Another season q much larger and higher dam will be built immediately back of the one now in course Of con struction, the latter to serve as sup port to the big one The one now building is 25O feet long, twenty-five n idn nf fla baca fau foot Inc

In La Blanca Julia cross cutting commenced when the 200 foot level was reached, as stated in TIE OASIS some weeks ago. The cross cut south is now at distance of 270 feet from the shaft, and has passed through two veins, one seventeen feet wide at a distance of ninety feet, and the other twenty feet wide, l20 feet away from the shaft. Assays from each ledge, we'll and carefully sampled, have yielded S4 to s per ton in gold. The north cross cut is now in 270 feet, and at farther distance of 33O feet will penetrate the continuation of La Co lorada vein. Very shortly MT. Gayou, the superintendent will sink the shaft another 100 feet, and will again cross cut for the veins.
