COUNTY POOR FARM.
The Supervisors Completed the Pur-
 chase Yesterday.

The board of supervisors yesterday completed the purchase of the Hurley tract for a poor farm. The price, S5,650 was paid the owner, P. T. Hur- ley, and the title passed to the county It had been appraised at s6.400 The tract, embracing 160 acres with a half share in the Salt River canal, lies three and one-half miles southwest of the city. The improvements on it are meager, but it is valuable property and has been used almost exclusively for grazing and alfalfa raising.
 The greater part of the acreage now is in alfalfa. There is. too, a small orchard. The supervisors will visit it officially next Monday and then, or as soon as possible thereafter. will de- eide upon the character of the inn

At the Elks' hall on Saturday min CTS and persons interested in mines in Maricopa county will meet and or ganize an association to promote the mining interests of the county The object is to effect an organization composed of mining men who reside in the county, but whether they own mines here or outside the county they are welcome as members of the or ganizatiOG.

 With Dr. J. M. Ford, Captain P. P. Parker and T. E. Parish at the head of the movement to organize this as sociation, there is no question but that 1t will be effected. The attendance of mining men in the city and county should be large. The meeting will be held at o'clock in the afternoon.

INCREASE IN RECEIPTS.
Gratifying Results Coming From the
 Dingley Tariff.

Washington, Feb. 17.-AsSiStant Secretary Howell of the treasury de- partment has under his supervision the customs division of the govern ment He was one of the first to pre- dict that the Dingley bill would fur nish sufficient revenue to the govern ment before it had been operating many months. He, therefore, takes pride in the constant increase which the customs receipts show.
 The total receipts of customs this week were S4,155,76 the largest by many thousands of any week since the Dingley bill went into effect. The av- craze daily receipts this week were S692, ,624, the highest of any week since the Dingley bill went into operation and for more than year before.
 The total customs receipts for the first twelve days of this month, in- cluding one Sunday, are S7,112,392 giving indication that the receipts for this month will reach in the neighbor- hood of $16,0O0,OOO. Compared with the first twelve days of February of last year the showing is splendid, the receipts for the previous year for the same time being s5,7O9,545.
 At the rate of $16,00O, 900 a month the receipts, with those from other sources, will more than equal the ex- penditures. The same receipts, with a slight increase, would also aid in re- ducing the deficit that now exists.
 There is now thought to be no DOS sibility that the coming month will show a deficit. A surplus is expected, with surplus on the following month
