Angry nt Mine Operators.
The citizens of Virden are bitter IN
their condemnation of the governor
for not preventing the terrible doings
of Wednesday, and their rage over the
action Of the mine operators armed

every hour. Their sympathies are
wholly with the miners.
MIR. Lukens Interviewed.
Mr.. Lukens said:

least 1000 miners. They were In an orchard

Several negroes are now inside the

were not here until after Wednesdays

learned that six or seven of the ne
groes succeeded in escaping from the
train Wednesday and reaching the IN
side of the stockade. In the face of
this, It is asserted about town that
none of the imported miners left the
train when It passed through here.
The members OF company are quar-

two crops of sugar beets being raised

would simply double our sugar pro

In compliance with many requests
and in response to the suggestions
made by several newspapers of the
Territory and believing that a free in
terchange of views and united action
of those interested would result in
much good to that important industry
in this Territory, L deem it best to in
vite those interested in mines and min
ing in this Territory to meet at Phoe-
nix, Arizona, on the 25th day of Jan
uary, 1898, at o'clock p. m. of that
day for the purpose of taking such ac-
ton relative to forming a mining as
sociation as shall seem wise and eXpe-
dient. This call is without authority
of law, but as all western states have
such an organization which have re-
suited in much benefit to the interest
[ have taken the liberty to take the
initiative by issuing this call. 1 do
not deem it wise to specify how repre-
sentatiOn for the convention shall be
arranged any further than to invite
each camp to send as many of its rep
resentative men as it desires, and fur
ther that all who are interested in
mines and mining to be present. The
fairness and good judgment of those
present will undoubtedly adjust all

he failed to make the purchase and he
forfeited his $4,000. The mine is
said to be worth considerably more

TO DISCUSS THE TAX QUESTION

Gov. NJ. II. McCord. of Arizona will
make a heroic effort TO place the coun-
ties of that territory on a paying
basis; in other words see that the offi-
cials live within their incomes and
have a balance in their respective
county treasures, and also see that
the big mines pay taxes. With this OBJ
ject in view he has called a cOnven-
ton to meet in Phoenix on January
p. 1t will comprise all members of
the boards of supervisors of the
twelve counties OF the territory, the
assessors of all the counties, the ter
ritorial board of equalization and the
territorial officials. Before the con-
ventiOn will be only two questions:
The furtherance of economy in the
management of Territorial and county
affairs, and the possibility for raising
revenue from Territorial | industries
now practically exempt from taxation.
Arizona is generally considered pri-
marily mining region: yet her mines
bear an almost inconsiderable portion
of the burdens of government. The
agriculturalists. stockmen and rail
roads pay nearly all. The total asses
ment of the Territory isS3O.0OO, 900.

1t is believed the only way to secure
revenue from the mines is by Il tax
on the bullion output, for the value
of ore in place could not be estimated.
To aid in the work to be DONE the
Governor has asked that meetings be
called for the same date at Phoenix
