THE ERA is under obligations to
Hon - fford for a copy of
house bill No. Q, which Is an act 30 tax
the net proceeds of mines in Arizona.
The bill does not apply to mines hav-
ing u less output than $1,000 gross. The
bill also provides that all machinery,
hosting works, etc, upon said mines
shall not be assessed. The bill is not
favorably received by mining men gen.
orally, who consider that it is only the
by the agricultural element of the
legislature. The future of Arizona de-
ponds entirely upon the development
of her agricultural resources. Should
market-the best in the world-would
be gone and he would be compelled to
leave the country. The mining indus
try should be encouraged in every pos
sible way, even to the exemption of
taxation for period of years. a tax
as proposed in this bill will have a
tendency to drive capital from the
territory. which will be welcomed into
almost any mining state, and given au
opportunity to operate under more fav-
orable laws. The proposed bill would
not only prove a hardship on companies
now operating here, many of whom
have spent millions before paying divi-
dends, but it would put an everlasting
quietus upon all new and prospective
companies, and would be the means of
keeping millions o: dollars out of the
territory. The Improvements made by
all mining companies are subject to
taxation, as are also patented mines.
1t is claimed by the friends of the bill
The copper era., 1901-02-07

that large dividends are being paid By
some OF the mines, and that the great
bulk Of this money Is sent to eastern
shareholders, who practically escape
without taxation because their prop
erty is returned at a nominal value.
In some instances this may be correct,
but at the same time millions OF dol
lars are annually spent in the territory
by eastern people, from which they
may never receive returns. which is
left directly with the people Of the
territory. At any rate, no matter who
has the best OF the argument on this
question, Arizona cannot afford to pass
u law detrimental TO the mining inter
ests OF the territory. The bill should
be killed in the committee room, and
doubtless 1t will be.

THERE seems to be a misunderstand-
gestion recently made in the ERA, that
Clifton incorporate for school purposes.
The impression seems to prevail that
in order to incorporate for school pur-
corporate the town as city. This
was not the intent of the article. The
idea as suggested was to incorporate
the Clifton school district as an indie
pendent school district, as is done in
New Mexico, and in fact in every state
in the Union. If there is no law gov
erning such matters in this territory,
then Il bill should be prepared and
passed at once, allowing towns of GER
tain size to incorporate as Independent
school districts for school purposes by
a vote of the people, and providing
that such Independent districts have
the people, for the purpose of erecting
school houses in their respective pre-
cincts. Such precincts should have
the power to levy tax on the prop
erty within the precinct, and also to
collect all revenues from fines and
licenses which are now paid into the
treasury, and then pro rated among
the various school precincts of the
county. Under the present system
Clifton is paying the big bulk of the
school tax, from which she receives
but II very small per cent. in return.
Under the Independent district as pro-
posed by the ERA, she could issue bonds
for the erection of suitable school
house, and her income from fines and
licenses would maintain one of the best
schools in the territory. This is a mat
ter in which every one in town is inter-
ested, for without good schools the
more desirable class of people will not
locate here, while many now residing
here, who have children to educate,
will be compelled to move to other
towns with better school facilities.

AN EASTERN OUTLET.
Some Valuable Information Concern
ing Wagon Road to
New Mexico.
To the Editors of the Era.

To the Editors of the Era
/ noticed an editorial in the columns
of your paper some weeks ago in re-
gard to the old lumber road that was
constructed by ira Harper some years
ago from Clifton to Coal creek, near
the line of New-Mexico and Arizona,
and from there to Mule Springs, where
it would connecr~gith the road to Sill
yer City and the MogollOns, which is
a good road andA7Eirly well kept up.
The editorial originated from an iu-
terview with Mr. Wilson, sheepmau,
who resides in New Mexico. The
statements made by Mr.. Wilson are
correct in every respect. Clifton
would be benefited not little by
this road. This country is rich in cat
tie, sheep and goats, and also con-
tains many good farms. Clifton is
the nearest, and by far the best,
market, consequently when they have
stock to sell they drive it to Clifton,
put the money in their pockets and
hurry to Silver City to spend it for
supplies. They would rather do all of
their business in Clifton, as it would
save them a ~ tesaSilver, but there
is no waGoS~-eS 'rom Clifton TO
the county linl-.s a4e but twenty-four
miles. Ten miles or this distance
would follow the Clifton and Seldom
county road. After leaving the Sell
don road the first five miles would be
easily put in repair and at very small
cost. The next three miles would be
more expensive. and is the only part
OF the road not now passable. The
next six miles could be put in good
shape in a week by two men. That
leaves about five miles more in New
Mexico which could be put in shape
for a song. There are as many as
twenty big outfits in this section who
would spend their money in Clifton
instead eff Silver City if they could
only get there. In fact we all want
to trade in Clifton, because it is to our
interest to do so. The cost Of repair
ing this road would be very small in
comparison to the benefits to be de-
rived therefrom to Clifton. Now, gen.
tlemen, if it is not asking too much,
| would like you to bring this matter
up before the people once more, not
by publishing this letter, but by di-
gesting it and giving the Information
to the public.
There is an unlimited amohnt of dry
cedar along this road which could
be sold in Clifton for much less than
wood is now selling there.

In IT'S arguments against county di-

slider the interests of the people in and
around Solomonville. It does not pre-
terd to deny that the people of the
eastern portion Of the county are put
to great Inconvenience and expense in
order to reach their present county
seat, yet it il not willing to afford them
any relief. This is certainly most I'M

Last Tuesday A. r. johnson, who for
two years has been ia the employ oil
L. r. Kerr, 20 miles east of here, while
riding on the range discovered that
some cattle had been driven to the
mountains to the east, following which
soon brought Mr.. johnson onto party
Of Mexicans composed of two men, a
woman and six-months-old child.
The men had just finished packing the
carcass OF 'heifer they had killed onto
a burro. When questioned by Mr..
Johnson one of the Mexicans, Andreas
Rios, shot at johnson with wiuches-
ter, whereupon Mr.. johnson pulled his
six-shooter and opened fire on Rios,
wounding him SO badly that he died
within short time afterward. In the
meantime the other Mexican. Tiburcio
Talafera, grabbed the gun from the
hands of his wounded comrade and also
took a shot at johnson without effect.
Johnson returned the fire, wounding
Talafera in the arm, thus disabling
him. At this part of the act the woman
took hand. Securing the rifle, she
too, would have taken shot at John
son, had he not leaped from his horse
and, after a hard tussle, disarmed her.
When johnson had time to take an
inventory of conditions he found them
as follows: One Mexican dying, one
wounded, but who thought he was
dying, one woman as mad as hornet,
with a sore heel that had been bruised
by a CHANGING bullet, and baby max
ing more music than brass band. Mr..
johnson made his fallen foes as COM
Portable as possible and rode to the
ranch to report.
Mr.. Kerr at once telegraphed to
Deming for a doctor and an officer,
both of whom went down and proceed
ed to the scene. Rios died in about
half an hour after they arrived and the
officer took the wounded man and the
woman as prisoners to Jail at Las
Cruces.

MORENCI ITEMS.
Particulars Of the Suicide Of Louis
Himmelreich.
From our regular correspondent.

7 ? rom our correspondent
/ Louis Himmelreich, a native of Ger
many, - years of age. committed sui
eide at the Detroit Copper company's
pumping plant, on the San Francisco
river, Saturday night by firing shot
/ from 45-calibre Colts revolver
/ through the roof of his mouth. He
/ died instantly. Deceased was for six
years in the employ OF the D. c. NJ. Co.
as mechanic, and for the past six
months has had charge Of the pumping
/ plant He has frequently exhibited a
very violent temper and from the evil
dence collected by the coroner's jury il
shot himself On November 9th, less
than three months ago. he married an
estimable young lady, to whom he had
/ long been engaged, and who came here
direct from Germany, when he notified
her that all arrangements were made
for the marriage. The widow was pros
trated by the suddenness of the tragedy,
but said it was not entirely unexpected,
as deceased grew insanely furious when
angered, even il the cause Of his anger
was trivial one, and when in such
moods he always threatened to kill
himself.
This was his third attempt at suicide,
the first two attempts having occurred
about month ago, on each of which
occasion his wife succeeded in disarm-
ing him before he could succeed in his
attempt The last time, however, he
arose from bed and obtained his re-
volver before his wife awoke. He then
stepped into an adjoining room and
called to his wife that he would kill
himself. She sprang from bed and
attempted to disarm him, but the shot
was fired before she could reach him.
Her screams and the shot aroused
the neighbors, but he was beyond assis-
lance. Justice OF the Peace w. II.
Settle officiated as coroner and Sunday
morning impaneled a jury. Following
is the report of the jury:
We. the coroner's jury, impaneled to
investigate the cause of death inflicted
upon Louis Himmelreich, a native of
Sachsen, Germany, aged ~ years, find:
That said Louis Himmelreich met his
death at the d. G. NJ. Co.'s pumping
plant on the san Francisco river, about
p. IN. February 2nd, 1901, by shot
from a 45-calibre Colts revolver, the
ball entering the roof of his mouth and
passing through the brain. The shot
was fired by his own hand with intent
to commit suicide. We also find from
the evidence that said Louis Himmel-
reich was temporarily insane when
committing the deed.

meal -. energy in the uo -elopment
Of the mineral resources OF this section
want relief from the expense OF visit
ing a county seat so far distant. If, as
the Bulletin states, the wealth of the
country will eventually be confined to
the valley, then why should the people
of the valley object to allowing the
mining section to set up housekeeping
for themselves? They are willing to
take their full share of the indie bted-
ness Of the county, and should they in
the centuries yet to come work out
their mines, it should not occasion any
uneasines5 among the people Of the
valley. The possibility of exhausting
the mines of this section is not an issue
before the people, and in fact there is
no more likelihood of its occurring
than that the valley will be flooded by
lava from a volcano. The editor of the
Bulletin must indeed be hard put for
an argument even to suggest such a
very remote possibility.
