THE rich gold discoveries of tbe past few months have stimulated the search for precious metals all over the country. While Arizona is yet without Kiou- dyke there are various mines and evan plecers that are giving as largo net in- come as the wonderful fiode of the north. But perhaps the greatest bene- fit to be resped ie the renewed energy that is almost unnosiceably creeping into the whole mining industry. The location of hundred Iedgee, esob pay iDg good working profs to those em- ployed, brings about more general feeling of good times than few big fortuces stumbled on in day. This is certainly tbe eituatior here today. The hills end guIcnes of Arizona are filled with men who have quietly packed their turros and slipped oua of town to hunt for fortune. Few of them per hsps cone back vith "big" biDg, but lots of them return with good" thing, call you quiesly around the corner and exhibit a piece of rock with She remark "shere Is more where that comes from"

 IT does noa srpear upon examination iuso tbe matter, that the rate of texa- tion hes really beeu lowered on either Territorial or connty taxes, while the assessment has besn largely increased T. 1896 the rate levied on Mayioopa county for county and Territorial puR poses was S2 27 per slOO snd an Hddi- tion ia Phoenix school district of 30 cents, making in su S257 per S1OO. This year, 1897, the rate levied for coun- sy end Territorial purposes is 1925 per $l00. which IS Rn increase Of cents over last year, and an increase for Ter Fitoriel purposes of ' cente over last year. In Phoenix school district the school tax is B cents, making 6 tosel ot g. 58 per $l00 sbis year. The HER AID does not believe there is cause for this raise on Territorial and county rate The increased amount of taxable prop- erty in the county should cover any ad- but there should bs DO expenditures over the usual, and the "ueual~ are more than necessary for the efficient of our county and Territorial | government.

TO INSPECT THE WATERWoRKS
ENGINEER JOHNSTON OF CHICAGO
HERE ron THAT PURPOSE.

A Visit to BE Made the Works To-
dny-Mr. Johnston Thinks Snvnn-
nah's Water supply All Right,
Though the Wells Probably Need
Cleaning Out-A supply of 100000
900 Gallons Possible by Extending
the Conduit-Mr. Johnston Is Now
Engaged on a work to Connect
the Mississippi with the Great
Lakes.
Mr.. T. T. Johnston, the engineer who Sc
lected the site and prepared the plans for
the Savannah water works, Is in the city.
He is here by invitation of Mayor Mel
drim to confer with the water commits
sion and the water committee Of council
with view to increasing the supply OF
water at the works.
Mr.. Johnston had an informal conference
with the members of the water commits
sion yesterday afternoon. He will visit the
works to day. accompanied by Mayor Mel
drim. the members of the commission and
the water committee. A formal conference
Of these two bodies will probably be held
tomorrow at which Mr.. Johnston win be
requested to give his opinion on%the situa-
ton.
TO q Morning News reporter Mr.. john
ston said he had not visited the works
yet but from what he had heard he does
not think there is anything
the matter with Savannah's water supply
IF l have been correctly Informed" ne
said, there has been some decrease in
the supply This may be due to neglect of
the wells, which have not been cleaned
out since they were first put into use. The
wells should be opened up and cleaned out
They may have become clogged up. The
fact that the water department is unable
to maintain the pressure during freeze
when pipes are bursted and MIGRANTS rum
ming all over the city, is nothing. We
had this same trouble at Memphis, where
the works pumped 100000 gallons in one
day during the freeze and then did not
get up the normal pressure"
Mr.. Johnston was asked if the flow from
the mills had equaled his estimate at the
time the wells were bored.
Il never made any estimate ne re-
piled. Il stated as my opinion that If the
conduit should be continued to the river,
as proposed, with wells at certain inter-
vals that a supply of about 100000 gal
Ions would be secured from the area COW

MIR. Johnston is one of the best known
men in the country in his profession. He
is now assistant chief engineer of the Chi
cago drainage canal, perhaps the largest
engineering enterprises of the day. The
city of Chicago has already spent $1,000
0O) in this enterprise, and proposes to
spend 100000 900 more to complete it. One
of the chief objects of the canal is to
drain off the sewage from Lake Michigan,
which is now polluting the eity's
water supply but it is also a great com
mercial enterprise, providing a means of
transportation from the great lakes to the
Mississippi. This canal, Mr.. Johnston
says, will make Duluth, Mimi, the head
of navigation on the Mississippi and viii
add immensely to the traffic of Chicago
and st. Louis.

LOST A LOT OF CLOTHING.
Louis Pizitz Wants the Western
Union to Pay the Damages.

Louis Pizitz, through his attorney,
Judge H. d. d. Twiggs, filed a suit for
damages in the sum of $1,65O in the city
court yesterday against the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
Pizitz claims he entrusted Max Cassell,
Charles Cassell. j. Cassell and Hyman
Coffin with $3.50 worth of ready-made
clothing and articles of wearing apparel
to sell for him. and that they brought
the stuff to Savannah and converted 1t to
their own use, their intention being to re-
move it out of the state.
He discovered their scheme, he states,
and sent a telegram from Belknap, Ca,
to l. Gottlieb, at 1893 Bryan street. to have
these men arrested. as they had got him
for $l,650 and telling Gottlieb he would
pay him 500 for his trouble. He awaited
an answer at Claxton Ca. but got none,
and on coming to Savannah says he found
that the telegram had never been sent
by the agent at Belknap. For the fail
ure of the company to deliver this mes
sage he claims 1t is responsible to him
for the loss of the goods, and he brings
suit for that amount.
