the negroes left.

EQuALizINd TAxESs

Tho county board of equalization completed it's labors yesterday. Owing to the great number of changes made in valuations. involving much labor, c. NJ. Allison, clerk of the board, has not had time to compile ths figures showing the changes made and tho in- crease in the assessment roll for 1898 over that of last year It is known, however, that the increase is consider able, and it is hoped will warrant . re- duction of the tax rstc. Yesterday . session of the board was hot one. The assessment of the property of the United Globe Mines was under consid- eration, and superintendent E. H. Cook, of the United Globe company, and s. A. Psrnall, superintendent of tho Old Dominion Copper M. X S. company, were both before the board.
 Nr. Cook contended that mines could be assessed only on the basis of values in sight. The company has 21 patent ed claims which were put in at total valuation of BPS, GOO. Several of these mines are fairly well developed, and are among the best copper properties in Globe district. The surface im- provements are extensive and all com raratively new, comprising smeltsr, cable tramway, hoist, ore blns, board ing houae and lodging house.
 s. A. Parnsll had put in the Old Do minion company's property at some- thing over S1S0, 900, and he objected to the valuation put upon the Uni ted Globe, contending that the asssss- ments of the two companies should be nearly equal, making allowance for the large stock of coke and coal held by his company. 7;
 After heated discussion the board raised the United Globe $27, 100, the increase being chiefly on mines, making the total assessed valuation of the Uni ted Globe SPA, s92. Some slight changes were made in the assessment of the Old Dominion company, the valuation as finally fixed being upHards of $1S2, 900. Mr. Cook expressed the opinion that his company would con. test the raise on its property.

THE SCOTT TRIAL.

The most important criminal case tried at the recent term of the district court was that of l.. T. Scott, indicted for the murder of Augustus Whelan on April IT last. The defense asked for 8 continuance on the ground of the sb- scnce of m important witness, but the motion was overruled by the court, and the case set for trial. A venire for shirty additional iurymen was issued and no difficulty was had in securing twelve men, who 1t was supposed would give the case serious and impartial hearing, and render verdict in ac- cordance with tho teftimony presented to them.
 The trial occupied about two days and half, and the evidence was clear and damaging to the defendant. There appeared to be no reasonable ground to expect such diversity of opinion among the jury,nen ss the first ballot revealed. The vote stood Three for murder in the first degree, 4 for mur- der, second degree; ? for nanslaugnter and 3 for acquittal. After being out five hours the jury compromised on . verdict of manslahghter. Scott was sentenced on Friday afternoon, and the court gave him the extreme penalty for manslaughter, ten years imprisonment at Yuma.
 The case was ably prosecuted by Dis trict Attorney E. J. Edwards and P. T. Robertson, and the defense by Geo. J. Stoneman, c. T. Clark and Owen T, Rouse. It is such miscarriages of jus tice as this that tend to destroy conf dence in the fairness and equity of trial by jury.

 Another draft was madc at the Uni ted Globe mines on Monday, reducing the force, so we are informed to about 30 to 35 men. The company has bad many obstacles to contend with, chief of which has been ths delay in the sr- rival of coke and building materials. The erection of hospital building has been begun, and an extention to the smelter is being built to accommodate the new furnace to be completed and the smelter ready to blow in within . couple of weeks. It is not probable, however, that smelting will be resumed at an early date.

THE GLOBE POSToFFICE.


 In regard to ths readjustment of postmasters salaries in Arizona, the reduction of tbs rating of the Globe office from $14O0 to $500 has doubt less occasioned surprise. Salaries of presidential offices are rated annually upon the gross receipts for stamps, stamped paper and box rents for the four quarters beginning April and ending March 80, preceding the date of readjustment which is June 30. From April l to November l, 1897, when Postmaster W, 0. Kellner took charge of the office, was dull period for Globe and the postofiice receipts fell off in consequence. The gross receipts for the four quarters ended March 30, 1898, were $2968. CA, lacking just $31.96 to entitle it to be rated as q $1400 office.
 Since MT. Kellner, went into office 
 the receipts have shown steady in, crease, and the amount of mail handled has nearly doubled. Box rents, which . year ago amounted to only $53 per quarter, hsd increased to $l32 for the quarter ended June 30 last. For the same quarter 42l letters and packages were registered and TITO money orders were issued aggregating in value s26,- 467.9s which is Ss, ,271.6s greater than for the preceding quarter.
 Transient mails to and from points north of Globe have increased at least one-third, and require much time and labor in their distribution. for which an additional allowance should be made.
 On the basis of business done since April l, 1898, the salary of the Globe postmaster will be raised to $500 at the beginning of the next fiscal year, July l, 1899, and it may possibly be rated at st600.

That building and loan associations have come to stay is attested by their steady growth since their inception more than sixty years ago. In 1893 when the first official report was issued by the Commissioner of Labor, the paid in capital was $450,0O0, DOC. h the four years from 1893 to 1897, not withstsnding the depressed financial condition of the country this had in- creased to $700, ,O0O, 900. Because of their mutuality, the whole of the net profits being distributed to stockhold- CTS, the best possible results are ob- tained on the investment, and their safety lies in the fact that tho security is first mortgages on the homes of the country at less than half their cash value.

Billy Zimmermann's face has not worn its accustomed smile for the past two weeks, which the casual observer might sscribe to the dullnsss in the un- dertaking business. While Billy monrns the loss of several subjects who went away to die, that is not the chief cause of his misery, He has been suffering from felon on the middle finger of bis left hand, and anyone who has passed through the same afiiiction, knows that it is severe enough to even demorslize sn undertaken.

Jas. A. Fleming is elsted over re- cent developments on the Diamond H
 group of mines. The new working shaft at depth of 70 feet is in rich sulphide ore, which covers the whole bottom of the shaft. 1t is expected that water will be struck at 80 feet.
 At another place on the surface four feet of ore has been uncovered, which assays high in gold, some of it Sl50 to the ton. In sinking an old shaft water was struck, strongly impresnated with copper. An analysis of the water made by l.. c. Coombs, assayer, gave re- turn of 22 pounds of copper te 100 gallons of water. Mir. Fleming be- lieyes that in the Diamond II he has one of the most promising mines I, Globe district and Se hope his expec- tstions will be realized, as there is no one more deserving of success than he.
