Smith and Statehood.

To Frank P Trott. Phoenix, Arizona:
 CHICAGO. H., Oct. 22.-My dear Sir Mark Snrth was valuable delegate iD congress; he was widely acquainted and very influential. It would have given great qualification to our friends in the senate 10 have had Smith amongst us
 We havo favored the admission oi Ari. zona because it ought to be admitted, but it was kept out by eastern preiudices, fearing that two silver men would come to the senate. know that Smiths per sonal standing and character among the senators was a strong help towards state hood for Arizona.
 In my opinion no more efficient or ca- pable man could be sent from your terri. tory to congress-, ard I am sure no man could render more substantial assistance.
 Sincerely hoping that he will be re' turned, I am very truly yours,
 JAMES K. JoSEs, Chairman.

augerated by the assessors of years ago, but which are contrary to law and jus tice.
 The deputies are in no wise responsible for this state of affairs, as they simply ,ol,os the instructions of their ehiei. A remarkable coincidence is the absence Of names from the assessment roll of people holding tax receipts, and another is the appearance of credits on the roll in Sep. tember and October for taxes under the levy of the previous year.
 Can Mir. Lake show that an error has been committed and that he is guiltless of wrong doing? We rather think not Can he explain how he became possessed of 4S1 sos surplus taxes in 1892? Can he explain why he made use of the terms Boys, fl you hush th:s matter up, l will never forget you" What caused his great agitation when confronted with two little tax receipts in l893P MT. Lake, you allowed too many people to become possessed of your secret. Too much con fidence in your friends of the political com bine will be the ultimate cause of your downfall.

William Jennings Bryan, that intellec- tual giant who is fighting 80 nonly and fearlessly tor the rights of American cit izenship, while journeying through Ari' zona few months ago, paid a well de. served com pliment to the ability, honesty and integrity of Mark Smith. MT. Smith served in Congress with Mir. Bryan. The people believe Tn the clear unbiased judgement of Mir. Bryan and will go to the polls and vote for Marcus A. Smith for delegate to Congress.

this late in the campaign charge re- fecting on the character of any candi date, but now that Mr. Lake shys his castor into the ring We are compelled to give few of our facts.
 It Is we'll known that there is consider. able property in the northern part of Mo. have county that returns neat revenue yearly. For the past two years it has been current rumor that a considerable part of this revenue was misappropriated under the administration of W. H. Lake, who was sheriff and assesso from Jan. lst 1889 to Jan. 1st 1893 The rumor soon reached the ears of the editor of the MINER and after many months he pro ceeded to run 1t down. To do this trip to Utah vas necessary and four weeks ago we left Kingman, accompanied by ". G. Carleton, for St. George Six days were consumed in making the trip. Arriving ia "Dixie Land" we pro ceeded to collect tax receipts from Mo have county taxpayers residing there. In this we were very successful. the people having retained receipts as far back as 1887. Returning to Kingman all receipts were compared with the duplicate assess meDt roll for the years for which they were given and wide discrepancies were found to exist. We give below fair ex- ample of the remarkable manner in which the people have been feeced. The receipt oi William Harris shows that he paid the assessor in 1892 the sum of 57 .36$ on an assessment of property val. ned at ,625s, while the duplicate as. sessment roll of that year shows that he paid 3S. 77s on an assessment of l,175s.
 The receipt of Alonzo Harris shows that he paid 42 37$ on an assessment Of I,2OO$, while the roll for that year shows a payment of g los on an assessment of 700s. These two receipts ouly are given, as we prefer to retain all other receipts in our possession for use before the grand jury al it's next session. Each and every tax receipt gwen by Lake to taxpayers north of the river show that a collection fee of seven per ceut has been charged It is remarkable that people should pay seven per cent. for being feeced, but they did 1t. Receipts without number show this outrageous collection fee of seven per cent, and a comparison with the duplicate assessment rolls for the years l89l-2 show the same remarkable ratio of discrepancy, one receipt going so far as to have only S.87s turned in out of 20. l9$. When 1t is considered that the people who pay taxes in north Mohave are poor and that the greater number have to borrow money with which to make payments, the whole matter ap' peals to the sympathies of every man who has spark of humanity in his breast. Year by year they have bad to pay on levy far in excess of the one made by the board of equalization 'of that year on account of the system in-

NEW BRITISH SABBATH.

A letter from London says that
the decision arrived at by Parlia-
-ment to allow the opening of mu
seups and art galleries on Sunday,
has afforded delight to the majority
of the people, and indicates rapid
change in public sentiment on the
subject. 1t was only ten years age
that Parliament rejected a similar
motion by a crushing majority,
and its sanction was upheld in
most quarters. But the determi-
nation to open the British and Ken
sington museums, the National
. Gallery, etc., ON Sundays, is now
received with general commenda
ton, which would seem to indicate
a passing away of the stern con-
servatism which has been feature
of the British character for genera
lions.

he says that "They never had
water before l placed my mill
in operation, but now from the
5000 gallon tank they have a
constant supply for both house
and garden purposes" He
has Just set out two hundred
banana trees, which are water
ed from the Aermotor.
The above letter and state
ment goes to show that the
Aermotor is positively and
undeniably the best and only
windmill that should be used
by plantations, stock raisers,
gardeners and surburbanites
where a large supply of water
is required
The Geared Aermotor is the
most simple in construction Of
all the mills on the market,
You have only to secure the
8x8 mast in position. put the
Aermotor on one end and the
grinder on the other. The
mast then holds it all.
You can belt to different
machines and drive your pump
and feed grinder at the same
time. The grinder is always
in position. You have only to
turn a hand screw to adjust
the lower grinding ring suffi-
GENTLY close and it is already
for use, or in an instant you
can put on a belt to run any
other machine. The saving
power effected by having all
bearings vigidly connected in
one casting and therefore in
one proper place, is no less
important than the matter Of
convenience allowed.
The Aermotor presents one
half the surface to the wind; i,
is apparent that this other
wheel must have five times the
tail surface to make it face the
wind equally well and thereby
greatly increasing the liability
to wreck In a storm. The mere
fact that we have placed I5o
more Aermotors on the islands
is sufficient guarantee of their
superiority and desirability by
those who want a motor that
looks after itself

Mills Running Again.

The West side mills. which were
shut down Tuesday and Wednesday
to repair the damage done by anchor
ice to the screens OF the water
fumes, are now running again. The
Hennepin paper mill completed the
work of putting in Il new frame and
screen at it's water flume at about
. O'Clock last night. The caLal
gates were opened Immediately
after the work was finished and the
mill resumed work.
The Interstate flour mills resumed
work this morning.
1t is not likely that the mills will
be troubled by anchor ice again this
season. The thermometer registered
about 20 degrees below the freezing
point last night, and both the river
and canal are now frozen over.
This will stop the flow Of anchor ice,
which not only tore away the
screens, but greatly lessened the
power by clogging the water
wheels
