 Globe Silver Belt:
 On Monday the Board of Supervisors fixed she tax levy, and greatly to the surprise and disappointmens of many taxpayers, they included the levies for she Territorial University and Normal School, under the acts of 1897. Thie they did in the face of the report of the Gils county Grand jury for the October teEm. 1895, protesting against the levyinR of any additional taxes for those institutions, sbove the regular tax for msiutensDcs, and which protest the Board of Supervisors last year took cognizaucs of and omitted to make the ieyies under the soss of 1895, recognize Ing that the Legislature in authorizing such taxes to bs levied exceeded their authority and that the said scse were in violation of the Harrison act and con sequently void. A petition from the Globe Commercial Club WIS also pre- ievies be not made.
 The Territorial Board of Equalization raised the value of cattle assessed ir Gila county 1124 per cent and of eheep, IA per oenb, which Increases the total assessed value of all property in the county to something over 1.214 ,0O0, which is about 52O5, ,0O0 moro than last years assessment roll. Notwithstend- ing 5nis large increase of taxable prop srty and the further fact that GIie county is about to receive S7,OOO from the United States government for costs in the trials Of Indians, the tax levy for Bll purposes remains the same, S4 on each S1O0 valuation. The oounty's income will be increased this year over Sl5,O00. To what purposes is this excess of income to bs applied? The facts seem 60 warrant 8 material reduction in the tax levy, but the board of supervisors have not sesa it to make 1t. Wish sn increased vsluss ion of property and 4 per cent levy tax pay srs seem 50 have been handled rather
