A TAX EATING PROPOSITION.

In discussing the bill which pro
 poses to return to the fee system for
 recorders, the Phenix Herald very aptly says:
 Recorders in the various counties are the best paid officials in those counties. The people are entitled to consideration Tn this matter and the fees that come to the recorders offices turned over to the treasury as the law provides. A good salary should be enough for any man. The time has passed when the Peogle can afford to turn over seven or eight thousand dollars salary per year to any official in a county. The fee game was the cause of much of the indebtedness of counties under which the people are now stagger- ing. Had the moneys been turned into the county treasurers some of those counties would probably be out of debt."
 The salary of recorders in first class counties is now 5000 per year.
 fhe hours of labor are from g a. ID. to , pm. There are scores Of men in the territory filling positions in private life 10 which are attached equal responsibility to that of coun- ty recorders and whose hours of labor are from fifty to sevrnty-fve per cent greater than those imposed on county recorders whose salaries are from 500 to Sl, DO per year. Iu this county a rule seems to have been established, though under what provision If law is not apparent, whereby the officials of the record CTS office have been making extra fees for working over time, in msk ing out abstracts of titles and otLer similar instruments.
 The present system has been . found to be an excellent one for the tax payers, as the fees of the office . have furnished little surplus over the actual salaries paid. There Is always extra expense attached to the office though, over and above the of salaries, and the excess received m fees goes towards paying these expenses. Under the fee sys- tenn recorders take the receipts of the office and the county pays the extra expenses. When the fee sys- tenn was formerly in vogue i'll this county the supervisors were induced to purchase specially prepared books for the recording of instruments, the body of wichh were printed in these books. and the work of the recorder was greatly expedited, or in other words the county paid for about Ft .hree fnn1ths of the work of record ng. in addition to the fees collected rom the individuals. No change ,nould be made from the present iystem and if the legislators are . -eally in earnest in working for the l interests of the tax payers none will , )e made.

Maricopa, 34I4; Mohsve, 642; Pima, 1891; Yavapai, 3123; Navajo, 625; Pinal, 532; Yuma, 602.
 The aggregate of these votes is l5,596, and as the territory is al lowed twenty-four members this makes an average representation of one assemblyman for every $50 vot- CTS. Yet, Yavspai county with a vote Of 3i23, has only three repre- sentatives, whi,e Pima with a little more than half of that total vote has four, and Pinal with a vote of 532 or less than the average for one rep resentatlve has two members in the house. It does not take very deep study of the above figures to see how T reapportionment can be easily affected and at the same time while 1t will not remedy entirely the in equa!ities, 1t would be as nearly just as IS possible to apPortion by coun- ties. That would be to reduce the representation of Cochise, Pima and Pinai by one vote each, add one to Maricopa's representation and two to YavaPai, and permit the others to remain as at present. This would leave Pima with her vote of l59l slightly in excess and Glla with her lOl7 a little shy. Such au sppor- tlonment, however, would be very much nearer correct and jus1 than the present.

TAxLESS FOOTING INcoNSIST:
 ENCN.

The Ta1less Footing Howler shows how glaringly inconsistent it is in its pretended love and affec- tion for the tax payers, by its oppo- sition 10 any and every practical measure whereby at least a portion of their burdens may be reduced, while bowling about the repeal of the tax exemption law for the grand stand" effect it will have. It knows that such a repeal measure stands no more show of being passed by the present legislature than there is for Mark Smith to se- cure statehood for Arizona. The legislature has passed one tax e1- emption law and has another one or two on the highway to passage. All this talk about repeating present laws Is simply so much ink and newspaper space wasted, as must be apparent to even a political tyro.
 It makes glaring misstatements in regard to the JoURNAL-M MINER also, in regard to the salaries of county officials. This paper has never ad- vocsted a reduction of official sal aries, so lar as incumbents of the various offices are concerned, and has so positively stated
 When citizens in 1898, by their votes selected the present county officials in the territory, they made an implied contract with them to pay them the salaries and fees then provided by law for their two years terms of office. The JoURNAL-MINER no more favors breaking that con- tract by making any change in sal aries of county officials than it favors breaking the implied contract in re- gard to exempting railroads from taxation.
 Not only this but so Tar as first class counties are concerned the JoURNAL-M MINER does not favor the reduction of salaries of any county officials, in future, except that of sheriff. That a sheriff is able to draw from $i0,OOO to $50,OOO from tax payers and litigaDts for term of two years, does seem out of all proportion. But it would be an in- justice to the incumbents of the Of ice, as stated, to go back on the im- piled contracts with them by reduc- jug the fees pEior to the termination of their terms of office. The trouble does not consist, however, with any proposed reduction of sal aries. Efforts are being made to have salaries increased and to make the law apply to the terms of the present officials. It is oD this sub ject, that our contemporary main tains a graveyard silence, devoting all of its energies in the alleged in- teIests of tax payers, by it's "taKless footing howls" against tax exemp- tion, knowing full well, as stated, that there is no possibility of the repeal of the law being accomplish ed.

MINING INTELLIGENCE SOME GENERAL DOINGS OF THE YELLOW PRODU-
 GERS IN ARIZONA.

J. H. Costello has started up his mill on the Trilby m,ne in White Picacho district. The mine is pretty well opened up and is in fine condi- tion.
 Nj. S. Taft has shipped five car loads of ore from his Sterling mine on Big Bug which netted him $500 per car load. Two fine big speci- mems of the ore can be seen at Hotel WInsor. The Sterling at present gives promise of developing into a regular bonanza.
 Preparations are being made to sink in the Senator mine to a greater depth. If large ore bodies are not found by increasing the depth of this mine, it will form an exception to the rule in this section.
 John Merwiu, who with B. NJ. Belcher and B. H. Smith IS interest ed in developing the Polar group of mines in Black Rock district, came up Saturday on business. He dis plays some very good looking quartz taken from the bottom of 75 foot shaft just sunk, and states that the vein is a pretty one at that depth measuring thirty inches across. The Polar claims are the first eastern ex- tensions of the Grown Point, which Of late is attracting considerable at tention. While no great amount of development work has as yet been done on the Polar, the fortunate owners now feel somewhat enthusi- astic and will go ahead vigorously with the work of sinking. The ore is free milling and like that of the Crown Point is identical to thu lat ter in its mineralogical make up. Mir. Merwin returns % the mIne to resume work again in few days and will take down big stock of mining supplies.
 Following closely on the heels of the big strike in the Crowned King mine, comes one in the Silver Trail mine, one of the Sundance group on the Hassay ampa, near the Senator mine. For some reason or other the news of thIs strike has been kept concealed from the public, probably awaiting further development to as- certain how extensive it may prove. 1t has. however, leaked out, and from reports, which seem to be authentic, the strike rivals that made in the Crowned King a few weeks ago. It was made at a depth of 20 feet, and the ore body, which IS four feet wide, IS said to be fsbu- lously rich although no values have been reported. The ore was first en- countered about four days ago and it has continued both in size and quantity eyer since. The Silver Trail mine has produced some very rich ore nearer the sur and has always been considered a good property. It lies about hid wey between the Howard mine which produced such rich ore near the sur face and the Senator, which has also produced thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of the shining metal. There are a score or two of other properties within a distance of few miles, which are being worked and which are now and have in the past been good gold produe- CTS.

Hong Kong. Feb. 27.-The Flip pino government issued another vir. ulent anti-American decree in which the following passages occur:
 American guns respect neither honor nor property, but barbarously massacre women and children.
 Manila has witnessed most of the massacres. The con6scating of prop critics and the savings of the people at the point of the bayonet and the shooting of the defenseless, accom- panied by odious acts of abomina- ton, repugnant to barbarism and racial hatred, are worse than doings in Carolina. Unless you conjure holy war for your independence, you are only worthy to be slaves and pa riahs. Proclaim to the civilized world that you will fight to the death against American treachery and brute force Even women should if necessary.
 American professions and prom ises are pure hypocrisy. They covet spolls of this patrimony of our race, wishing to implant here a more ir- ritating and barbarous dominion than in the past"
 Washington, Feb. 27.-When the army court of inquiry into the beef charges met today after its two days recess, it began the examina- tion of some of the enlisted men of the army who had not only seen the beef furnished the army in the field but had eaten it in quantities, where in they differed from most of the officers who had previously testified.
 Manila, Feb. 27.-The Spanish commissioners, Senors Rosaal and Bogato. were permitted to pass our line to confer with Aguinaldo in reference to the Spanish prisoners at Malolos. They returned through the lines this morning near Caloo- can with sealed dispatches from the SPaniards. They said Aguinaldo and Saudiko are both at Malolos.
 Manila, Feb. 27,-The two com who returned from Nal olos under flag of truce today, re- ported that 5000 rebels are anxious 10 surrender. They also expressed he belief that Aguinaldo is inclined 70 accept pacific overtures. Major General Otis did not receive the commissioners.

Three Steamers Didn't UAderstaaa
 It, sas the Prince of Monaco Knew.
 The Prince of Monaco has been known since 1885 As an enthusiastic student of the sea and its various forms of life He usually spends his summers in the study of oceanographic problems and his cruises have on some occasions been extended almost to the coasts of Amer ica He delivered a lecture before the Royal Geographical society in London in which he told this incident:
 One afternoon. while tn the bay Of Biscay. he sank the trap in which he collected specimens of sea life lt went to the bottom in over I2. 900 feet of water. and as night approached he fAs- tened to the wire attached to 1t an cleo tric buoy and then stood of a mile or SO It did not happen to occur to him that he was right in the track of steam CTS plying between northern Europe and the Mediterranean. but he was re- minded of the fact later.
 As he and his 14 sailors were watch ing with a good deal of satisfsctiOn the swaying buoy with it's brilliant flu imitation s steamers lights came into view. IL was soon evident that the steamer was curious to know the mean ing of the illumination. for she altered her course and made for the light She knew that no fishing boats came out so far from land and so determined to solve the mystery. Up she came 10 within a quarter of a mile of the buoy. slowed up for 6 minute. and then start cd ahead. perhaps 8 little disgusted at the incident that had lured her several miles out of her oourse

 The swell was very heavy. and the prince feared collision as the three vessels approached the light like moths around a candle He therefore veered oil and the other vessels. after standing by for a few minutes. went on their way and probably never learned the cause of that nights illumination At sea

AS TO OFFICIAL SALARIES.

The trouble with our legislatures
 is that few men can afford to do the
 legislative work for ihe money paid.
 If Arizona Legislators had been paid
 Sl0 day ever since the territory
 was organized. the territory would
 have saved hundreds of thousan1s Of dollars by it."-Courier. We agree most heartily with the above. The pay of an Ariz ma legislator, S4 per day, is entirely too little. A man cannot live respectfully on the salary in Phenix and keep up other little incidental expenses from which he cannot escape.
 While on this subject of salaries. it may be remarked that the salary paid territorial officials generally, IS too small. The governors salary as 61el by law is $500, but it is cut down to S2,6OO by the appropria- tions made for its payment by con- gress each year. The law allows the territorial secret ary a salary of S26OO per year but congress only appro- pirates SlS0O for its payment. These officials have no redress. They are compelled to accept what is appro- prIated. IL is true in the case of the he is allowed fees in addi- tion to his salary, which helps out, but the governor has no other source of official revenue of any inn portance, and the salary of S26O0 IS inadequate for the position.
 Other federal officials ir the ter ritory are we'll paid, the officers of United States attorney, judges. collector of internal rev. enue, and collector of customs and postmasters of the larger towns, all being salaried positions ard the ranging from 5000 to $500 per year.
 In the matter of county officials, hey are today better paid, by far. | han any other class of citizens in | he territory in proportion to their | hours of service and responsibilities, with probably one or two excep- ions. The amount received by heriffs of first class counties would | make major-general in the army urn green with envy. District at orneys, treasurers and recorders. whose hours are from g a. m. to 8 D.
