THE Commonwealth mine, at Pierce, Cochise county, which has been boomed as "the richest mine in the world" :" re- gently paid its taxes, amounting to $115.S9. The Wilcox News considers this rather light taxation for such a bonanza, and the TRIBUNE agrees with it. It has been reported that W. A. Clark, owner of the United Verde mines, at Jerome, Yavapai county, had refused an offer of $SO,0OO, 900 for his property. This report is probably not true, yet the mines are very valuable and well worth several millions. When we consider that the entire taxable wealth of the territory, as shown by the assessors books, is only little more than s2s,OOO, 900, isn't there a chance for thinking that perhaps the

Meeting sthe Board of University Regents
 lFrom the Tucson Star.l

Meeting of the Bosrd of University Regents
 [From the Tucson Star.l
 Tho board of University regents met at the office of the Chancellor Tues day; October 26th. Present. Governor M. H. McCord, Chancellor Hughes, Re gents M. P. Freeman and ". v. Whit more, and Superintendent of Public Instruction Snowman, ex-oficio mem Der.
 The matter of choosing the successor as president to Dr. Billman, resigned, was considered, and after the examina- ton of credentials the matter was re- ferred to the Governor and Chancellor, with power to close contract if, after further consideration, it was deemed by them advisable.
 Professor Tourney was appointed acting director of the experimental station, to take effect November Ist.
 A better furnishment of the ladies' dormitory was thought advisable, by adding some rugs, carpets and addi- tional furniture.
 The Governor suggested that it would be we'll to have copy of every Territorial weekly journal furnished the University library for information and use of the students and the insti- tuition, and the same should be bound for future reference. On his motion it was ordered that the secretary be di- rected to have each publication of weekly papers in Arizona furnished the library, the same to be paid for out of the library fund.
 Professor Blake, director of the school of mines, appeared before the board and submitted report on one and two years special course of in- struction, whereby students wishing to learn assaying and metallurgy could acquire practical working knowledge of the same within the time prescribed by the special course. The same was adopted by the board and the director authorized to proceed at once to put the same into active operation. This means that young men can secure very good knowledge of sssaying and it's necessary adiuncts to become prac- tical assayers in one and two years. The board was informed that several applications for sssayers had been made to the University, but none could be furnished, which indicated there would be good many young men anx- ious to take the course when it be- came known that the demand was far greater thsn the supply.
 The subject of completing the dor mitory was discussed. It appears that all of the accommodations for young men are exhausted, and more rooms must be supplied as the dormitory is used altogether by students outside of Tucson. The necessity is the more ob- vious as there are several additional applications for the next term and no accommodations unless furnished. It was the sense of the board that an effort should at once be made to meet the necessary demand, which was much favored by Governor McCord, who expressed the belief thst any difficult ties in the way could be overcome and the dormitory completed at an early day.

PASSED BY THE SENATE.
Tax Levy Bill Is Now in the Hands of
Governor.

On May II the states senate passed
the bill allowing school districts of
cities of the third class to levy tax on
the valuation for city purposes. That
is the course pursued in this city,
but in Pittston, Hazleton and nearly
all of the other cities of the third class
the taxes are levied on county valua-
tion which is more favorable to mining
companies than the city valuation.
In Pittston a "a mill tax is now lev
led for school purposes while 16 mill
tax would realize more money for the
district if levied on the city valuation.
In Hazleton the tax is levied on the
county valuation and If levied on the
city valuation the Lehigh Valley COM
pany would have to pay $4,000 more
than it does at present. There would
be like difference in the amount of
it's taxes in Pittston and other places.
Many other companies would be af-
fected in "a similar manner and all are
consequently opposed to the new bill

his office and attending to business as
usual. Yesterday morning he suddenly

Fulton, the attending family physician,
summoned Drs. Connell and Keller for

In the afternoon he suffered from

They expressed the hope that an ap-

just now as they do not propose to
distrust the triennial assessment.
However they may some day desire to

made.
