According to4the latest reports of the United States treasury, Arizona and New Mexico paid fraction more than $132, 800 intoathe coffers of the inter- nal revenue department of the govern ment for the last fiscal year. The ques- tion arises what do we receive in return for this tax. Add to this the amount paid for customs duty, land and mines and the total is very large indeed. Arizona is denied statehood. Is not this taxation without representation? Arizona asks to have this tax money returned by appropriations for reclaim ing our desert land, thus enabling us to create conditions which will provide homes for the home seeker and establish a most desirable population in the territory. Inasmuch as Arizena,s eiti- zenship is taxed without representa- tion. the very least the government could do would be to return this tax to aid. in the recla nation of the government lands. The proposition is not only just and equitable, but a matter of right, which the revenue tax paying citizens have a right to demand.-f Tucson Star.

Geology of Arizona.

At the meeting of the mining engi- neers in San Francisco last week Pro lessor Comstock spoke of "The Geology of Arizona" lie said that there is very large gold field developing in that territory and that Arizona is destined to be rich mining state. Gold of in- creasing value is being found at the lower levels, down about 2, 300 feet. Re gently very rich large nuggets ant grains have been found scattered through white quartz after passing through the water level, 300 or 400 feet below the surface. In the mine in which Dr. Gomstock is interested the ore was worth $5a ton near the sur face and now at depth of 5oa feet '. is $25 rock The whole geology of tlIe territory is just begipaing to hs ae- veloped, and is extremely interesting to the scientist. All the copper and lead in Arizona occur in faults in the formations, but they asa neyes lo2a4 together.
 Professor Dumble opened the session with a paper on the natural coke of the new coal fields in the State.of So- nora, Mexico. He explained that thes e valuable deposits are 2}O0 feet abov e the Yaqui valley, and comprise some thirty-one beds of coal. varying from two to ten or more feet in thickness. They practically belong to the South ern Pacific company, which has re- gently takee hold of them, although men have known of their existence in vague way for nearly thirty years
 Professor Blake of Arizona expressed much interest in the facts concerning these coal beds, and declared that the presence of snch great deposits of nat ural coke in region where none be- fore was obtained is of immense com mercial importance not only to the metalburgieal development of that part of Sonora and to the railroad com panies, but to the mining districts of Arizona and perhaps to the wh ole Pa cific coast, which is in need of cheaper fuel Of this kind. "These. new coal fields" he said "meaD that many met allurgical developments will result. For thirty years they have been all lowed to lie idle because capital has been too timid to take hold. Now the Southern Pacific has seen their value and will profit by their development" !"
 Dr. Douglas remarked that the finest coke is generally found at the eastern end Of these coal fields and the Rereat anthracite ct the western end. In the new Baranca coal fields, however, he thought that sufficient developments had not yes been made to show the real exisat of the deposits

 From their own points of view the husband and wife are both right, and inasmuch as we can't change the condi- tions of life it is good deal better to, adapt ourselves ta them than to try to adapt them to us. An old proverb sets forth the fact in natural history that you can take an OK to water, but you can't make him drink. In like manner you can take your husband tos q party, but you can't make him enjoy himself, as every woman knows who has ever tried it. So the part of good sense and good feeling seems to be to let him alone. Let him be happy in his own way and devise your owu scheme for relaxation ard eIt5ayrept. There l is no woman, unless she is miserable manager, who eaz't get out of her own house for few hours every day. ln that time she may meet bright n le. 1 go to club meetings, see tha bes gs ] at the matinees, and if she tires of home cooking treat herself to unusual 1 dishes at the restaurants.

SUICIDE
4 MYSTERY
Motive For the Rash Deed Un-
known.
CORONER'S INVESTIGATION
Nothing New Brought Out at the
!nquest--Dead Man De-
tested Suicides.
INVESTIGATION

Nothing was brought out tending to
unravel the mystery of the suicide of
William G. Cole at the inquest held last
night, and the reason for the rash act
will remain a dead mans secret. Harry
Cole, the youngest son of the deceased.
testified that he reached his home about
6:4O. o'clock Monday evening. The door
was locked and he climbed into the house
through a window n started to build
a fire. A few moments later his mother
returned and was followed into the house
by Mr.. Buoll, a %neighbor. Mr.. Buoll re-
manned until about 9 O'Clock, and after
his departure the witness and his mother
became very much alarmed about the
non-appearance of his father, whose Gus
tom was to remain at home evenings.
Thinking that his father might be up
stairs, he took a lamp and went up to
see if he could find him. When he en-
tered the east room he saw his father
lying on the floor. There We're some
blood spots on the floor and a shotgun
was lying a little distance away. The
body was cold and he realized that his
father was dead, and he at once went
down stairs and informed his mother,
and a few minutes later took her to the
residence of his brother, w. H. Cole. He
did not call any of the neighbors. The
gun was kept in a cupboard, down stairs,
but witness had not noticed it for some
time. He had never heard his father
complain of i'll health or say anything
about being tired Of living. He knew Of
no reason why his father should commit
suicide.
T William H. Coles testimony was cor
roborative of that of his younger brother,
who, he said, had notified him of the
tragedy. He said he had made a thor
ough search Of the house in the hope Of
finding some clue or letter. but could find
nothing. He found his fathers watch,
chain and p~ocketbook in his trunk, where
they were usually kept. He had fire.
quently heard his father express his de-
testation Of people committing suicide.
His mother told him that his father had
recently complained Of severe pains in
the head, SO severe that he could not
read. He was Of the opinion that his
father had committed suicide while tenn
p~orarily deranged. y
Charles McLarry, an employee of E. H.
Sherman, testified that he went to the
residence for the body. He was accom-
panied by the coroner. He found the
body lying in the middle Of the floor.
In the corner OF the room was the de-
ceased's shoes. He examined the gun and
found one barrel empty and an empty
shell in the other. He examined the body
and found a wound near the heart. He
was Of the opinion that the deceased had
placed the butt of the gun on the floor
and the muzzle against his breast. and
with his toe had pushed the trigger down.
The jury returned he following ver-
dict:
'@That deceased came to his death at
Butte, Silver Bow county, Mont, on the
a gunshot wound, inflicted by the said de-
ceased with suicidal intent.''
