A very important strike was made
recently in the Congress mine, brief
mention Of which was made sometime
since. 1t was the striking of body of
ore in the cross ledge Of the Congress
claim. Heretofore work has been done
altogether on the main ledge, although
the existence of this cross ledge was
known to the owners, but had never
been developed. In doing some cross
cut work they struck good ore in the
cross ledge, which induced them to
prospect the lead some, resulting in
striking body of ore at the $50 foot
level and also on the 500 foot level. The
ore body is not only larger, but richer
also than in the lead they have been
working on for years, and it may be
said that they have practically OPEN
ed UP a new Congress, bigger and bet
ter than the old one. They are now
working to strike the ore body of the
cross lead at the 1000 foot level

Equalization OF Taxation.

THE MAIL in insisting on the next
legislature enacting law placing tax
on the products of our mines, does not
wish to be understood as making war
it is friendly and willing to contribute
it's mite toward encouraging any indus
try tending to the development of the
resources of the territory It's object
is to equaliZe, as near as possible, the
burden of sustaining our government
To make each Individual or corpora
tion, whether bankers, miners, COM
mon carriers, merchant, stock raiser,
farmer, or of whatever calling or pro-
fession pay his, or their, just proper
tion of the amount necessary to en-
force the law. Not to make "hesh Of
one and fish of another" but to treat
all alike.
According to the best information at
our hands the mines, or at least some
of them, are paying enormous divi-
dends, and are more than able to pay
their quota of the current expenses of
the government that protects their
property as we'll as their lives, than
many who have to pay taxes on the
full value of all their possessions. This
being the case, The MAIL can see no
reason in justice, fairness and equity,
why they should not be made to pay
their proportion of the expenses of en-
forcing the laws, whose protection they
are the first to seek in time of need.
But THE MAIL is in favor of going
further, and making other enterprises,
which are now paying no taxes, bear
their just proportion of the burden as
we'll as the mines. It is in favor of
making ALL enterprises or business
propositions of whatever nature, who
are protected by our laws, bear the ex-
penses of the government according
to their ability to pay and according to
the returns on their investment. It is
opposed to class legislation of any kind
or description. Express companies
charge an outrageous rate for every
thing they handle. In fact their charges
are but little short of highway robbery.
It would be nothing more than right
for our next legislature to change our
revenue laws in such way as to in
clude all Industries and enterprises
in existence in the territory in raising
the revenue for the maintenance of our
government, and relieving to that ex-
tent, the large number of poor people.
who are not really able to pay the pres
ent rate of taxation.

The State of Arizona Improvement
Company, doubtless deeming the pres
ence in Colorado valley Of the canal of
the Yuma Valley Land and Water Com
pany a detriment to it's interests, has
prepared a proposition to submit to
the promoters of that enterprise, for
the purchase of their canal. The prop
osltion caeries with it an agreement to
furnish water to the farmers at GER
tain figure, which will be lowered as
the acreage in cultivation increases.
We gather from the remarks of the
farmers to whom we have spoken on the
subject, that the proposition will not
be entertained, as the machinery for
the Union Company's plant is expected
almost any day, and when 1t arrives
will be at once erected-Yuma Sun.

Cattle Prospects.

Facts of importance to the live stock
interests of the west were developed
at the Texas cattlemen's convention
held at Fort Worth recently.
The fact that the convention was the
largest of the kind ever held in this
country is of itself important. 1t in
dicates lively revival of interest in
the live stock business.
An interesting feature of the conven-
ton was the confident feeling prevail
ing that present values, or higher ones,
for cattle will be maintained for some
time A journal well acquainted with
conditions declares that there has been
vast amount Of speculation on a large
scale in cattle during the past six
months, and that the value Of thin
range cattle has advanced much more
than the value Of fat beef steers. The
reason, it says, is plain. There has been
an immense supply Of cheap feeding
stuffs, and money has been more read
lily obtainable, SO that great nun bers
of cattle have been shipped from
ranches to pastures and farms, to be
fattened for market. Along with the
advance in the prices Of cattle there
has been a substantial rise in the value
of ranches. Thus, says this journal,
the Texas cattlemen have good reason
to feel gratifed over existing condi-
tions and to entertain high hopes for
the future.-St. Louis Republic.

ritory, the assessable property could
easily be increased to $100,000,000, and
the rate of taxation reduced in cor
responding ratio. Such an assessment
and reduction in the rate Of taxation
would be a great relief to the poor of
our territory, who own few acres of
land, span of horses, a COW, pig, a
few chickens, and half a dozen or more
"blackbirds," which are assessed at
their full valuation, and on which the
inexorable taxgatherer forces payment
or sells them out.
The tendency Of all legislation for
the past thirty or more years has been
in favor of the rich and against the
poor-in favor of the few and against
the many. It was the purpose of the
founders of our government, that leg
islation should be for the greatest
good to the greatest number" and in
making this change our legislators
have, in great measure, effected ar9v-
olution. The revolution has been
achieved gradually and quietly, but
most effectively. 1t is high time for
the people to call halt to such legis-
lation and elect men to our law-making
bodies, both national and local, who
will enact such laws as viii bear equal
ly on both rich and poor. In short, to
bring our government back to its orig
nal purpose and design-"a govern
ment by the people and for the peo-
ple." This is what The MAIL favors,
and this is what it will always battle
for with whatever influence it may
WELD.

Mark the contrast when those who
give their life to the betterment of the
conditions about them, who labor to
help others, who lift up the fallen, res
cue the perishing. When such die the
community, the nation, the world
mourns. When the man of vast wealth
dies ne receives a burial with pomp and
s6 lendor, but there are few who mourn
his loss save his immediate kinfolks,
his memory fades, he is soon forgotten.
Not so with those who have given much
of their lives for others, who struggle
to make the community better by their
presence and work Their memory
grows brighter and more illumined as
the years come and go. The conditions
we observe here must be reflected in
the life beyond, or are reflected as they
continue to shine in the future, per-
haps their brilliancy over there is the
cause of their vivid memory here. But
the fact nevertheless remains, that
those who live for themselves, die unto
the world. Those who live for others,
their works live after them.-Star
