ABOUT TAXES.

Something over s3O60O.0OO is the
 Territorial assessment this year. or
 this amount she County Of Maricops is
 in for about s9,OOO,OOO OF nearly one- third tne entire taxable proper r3y of the Territory And yet there are mines in
 other counties of this Territory that could not be bought today fer the
 value Of the entire taxable property of
 Maricops County, while thoss counties
 pay an insignifean5 portion of the Tsrr
 Fitorisl taxes, end those properties pay
 taxes to those counties or comparatively
 an insignificant amount on taxable prop
 erty. There is something radically
 wropg in this matter and the people of
 Marlcope Counsy:are beginning to ssei,
 seriously, the burden that is uDjustiy
 thrust upon them by the evasion Of
 taxation by property in other counties of the Territory; for it is nothing less than evasion. The time has coms wheo this matter will become political issue in the Territory. Oar nsxt LsgieIetuTe will undoubtedly bs elected on this issue in many OF ths counties but this will not CUTS the matter so long ss the people continue to choose men for County Assessors who can be influenced OF csjoled,oF Boards Of Supervisors who ] do not cara what their duty is, and So long as 8 Territorlsl Board of EqusIizs- | sion utterly feils to do its duty as by the law in the prem

OO0Eb hOu6e.
 At tsn o'clock last night shortipg of Firei FiFel was heard in she vicinity of the court house, end about ten minutes thereafter Ehe fire bell rang out and bs- fore help arrived ths flames were sweeping out of the cellar window, di- 1 Fectly under the supervisors office. Shortly thereafter stream of water poured into the cellar window, which, with the dense volume of smoke con- fined in the cellar, amothered the fire.
 The origin of the fire was, no doubt. inceDdiary, and had it noe been for the presence os Judge Geo. R. Davis, ID the building, the oours house would have been in ashes this morning Tith all the records of Pima county.
 Judge Davis was in his ohsmt ters up stairs engaged in writing. He heard 6 craokling then observed smoks in his ofics. He hurried oua into the hallway and discovered that the entire building was 6 dense cloud of smoke. He huFri- ed down stairs and gave the slssm. RoSSAAS eGAOAEA Sno U HUH OG@ of the building to the other, not . hvipg soul to be ssen or heard. The jadge then hurried ous to the court yard and street shouting fire. Soon the jsilog put in au appearance and rushed to the engine house and rang She alarm, which was soon followed by the presence of the fEe companies and the fire was ex- tinquished after some distraction of property.
 Frantic attempts were made by the jailor and voluntary assistance to reach shs prisoners and hbsrste them from the building they feared doomed. With heavy ball and chain used ss batter ingram, they tried to force in the iron door entering the jail yard but it would not yield. Then ths long ladders came msn climbed over the high wall, ard unlocked the door, msking exit easy.
 The prisoners beosme very much alarmed and yelled hidiously fog free-. dom and were taken to She city jsil.
 This was she most daseardly del ever attempted in Pima county. The is startling chspter which this de will unfold to She public. The recon are all fe.-Tucson Star.

WOOL QUOTATIONS.

The latest wool offerings ss the New York Wool Exchange from this Terri tory were 3,OOO lbs, quoted as Arizona Fine" as Il cents. Fine Spring, Texss," is quoted at 157s. Our Arizona sheep men m muet be overlooking 8 point somewhere as it costs joet as much to raise sheep that produces 16 cent wool ss to raise one that produces only 11-csnt wool. And that is true of ell stock raising and to some extent of grain raising and it is particularly true of the sugar beet, which by a listle careless cultivation and irrigation may be made almost worthless, OF by in telligent handling will bring the very highest price. If Arizona sheep can only produce IL cent wool when other woois are selling foE 16 cents, there is somsshing wrong with She sheep OF the owner OF the country for wool purposes. Tue thing to do Is to set about uncover ering the reason of the difference snd correcting it at oIo oe, if the largest re- turns are desired for the amount in vssted
