 ORACLE, AR1z July 22.-Nowhere else in the United States, perhaps. do the inhabitants live as indolent and lazy lives as ia Arizona. No. body in Arizona works, compara- lively speaking, except the miner. That is to say in comparison with the denizens of the North, East and Central States, the Arzonians have an easy time of it. The ranehmen Mas only to water his live stock aud see them multiply and grow. Ex- =cept to occasionally round up his cattle and brand the new calves, he has nothing else to do Nature generously does the rest. 4 wind mll, an odobe hut or house, small herd of cattle, one or two bronc5s and a large degree of patience aod self-denial is all thecapital required. The point can pest be illustrated by the following incident which occur rcd in this community less than five years ago.
 A German named Brockmaa en- tered the emploYe of a ranchman at what is known as the steam pump, the terms of the contract being that Brockman was to receive COW for seach months service. At the end of the year be had, of course, twelve cows. Then he homesteadea a piece Of government property about three mlles from Oracle His improvements on the property con. sisted Of digging a well and building a but. He drew water from tbe wei by means of windlass for his twelve cows until the cattle multi piled and be could afford to buy a windmill. His small herd of cattle, as all other herds in this section, subsisted as best they could CD the public range. h the meantime Brockman pracsiced the closest economy, selling a few steers once in a while to buy bread and beans. But all the while the cattle were multiplying and in the course of a few years Brockman sold his ranch ard herds for $l0,0O0 in gold and departed for Germany to spend and enjoy it. All be had done while this .swealth was umulating was to practice the most rigid self-denial, water his stock, brand the calves and watch them grow.

A short article appeared in the Car
son Appeal last Saturday under the
above head line which contained a
great many wrong statements. Stock
cattle, which includes calves and ami
mails Of all ages and conditions. ex-
cepting cows and beef cattle, were
assessed in Douglas county this year
at Sl2 per head. The three steamboats,
on Lake Tahoe, notwithstanding the
Appeals statement TO the contrary,
were assessed in this county, and the
same appears in regular form on the
assessment roll as being the property
of the Lake Tahoe Transportation
Company. Lumber is assessed at $40
per thousand, instead of 81, as stated
by the Appeal. Twenty-Five thousand
dollar ranches are not numerous in
this county, and no such ranch is as
sessed at five or six thousand dollars.
Some of our alfalfa fields are assessed
at $50 an acre and we doubt if any
county in the State can show a higher
valuation for the purpose Of taxation.
