Minutes of the Meeting of the
 Fourth of July Committee.

Meeting was called to order by the chairman. Minutes Of the previous meeting were read and approved with the following correction: Motion-Mr. Thomas-that Henry Hill be appointed committee of one to raise the flag on fourth of July.
 MT. Chesterfield from Longfellow re- ported that he had talked with major ity Of Americans who contributed to county division fund at that place, and all were perfectly willing that it should be used for fourth of July celebration.
 Motion by Mir. Thomas that report Of MT. Chesterfield be accepted and Mr. E. NJ. Williams be requested to turn over money collected at Long, fellow to finance committee. Carried.
 Discussion as to whether or not mon ey collected for county division should be used for 4th of July celebration, by MT. E. NJ. Williams, Mir. Chesterfield and Mr. Munro. Mr. Williams stated that this money had been collected for a specific purpose and that purpose had not carried. He said this money had been turned over to him, and he would not use it for any other purpose with out the concent Of every person who had contributed.
 Mir. Chesterfield said that a great many Of the people who had subscribed to the Longfellow list, had left that place, and that every person he had spoken to about it, was willing for the money to be used for the celebration. Said he had not yet spoken to many of the Mexicans who subscribed. but felt sure they would not object to it being used.
 Mir. Munro thought the proper move would be to insert a notice in the next two issues of THE COPPER ERA giving a stated time for persons who did not want their money used for the celebra- tion to withdraw same. Mr. Williams thought it a good suggestio
 Motion-Mr. Munro-that all money collected for county division be apprO- priated for 4th of July celebration, with the understanding that any one who subscribed, wishing their pro rata refunded, could get same by applying to MT.

OIL EXCITEMENT.
Tucson Capital is Trying to Secure
 Gusher.
Tucson Citizen.

Tucson Citizen
 The excitement which is created whenever a spot is found 0hich is fa- vorable for oil shows that Arizonians firmly believe that the territory is To- cuted upon the oil belt and discovery is bound to be made as soon as active development work is done.
 Tn the Davidson caynou large num- Der of claims have been located and Tucson capital will make an effort to secure a gusher there which will start a rush for that locality.
 In Tucson almost every man has oil rock in his possession and owns a claim or is interested in one.
 The belief is accepted by all that oil is going to be found in Arizona, and a boom may be precipitated at any mo- ment.
 Tucson is the center of this new ex- citement and there is sort of nervous tension which will not require much to set it of into a live, roaring, tear ing boom.
 In the Rineon mountains there are promising prospects for oil and 1t is reported that oil is found in the float upon the surface.
 At Texas Hill there are excellent prospects of stcuring oil, and perhaps no place h,- cg17ed greater attention than this. Sveral California parties have becfr terested iu the district and are fg wells which they are confident soon be flowing a wealth of oil. E~~I

THE board Of supervisors of Maricopa county deserve the congratulations Of the people Of the territory. An effort was being made 10 have the county ap- propriatc a large sum of money for a special writc-up in q California paper, but the board wisely sat upon the scheme. As general thing write-ups of this class arc prepared by men who know nothing Of the resources of the country, and care less. They fill so many columns of space, get their cash, and that is the last of them. If money Is tO be spent in advertising the re- sources of the country, it should be placed with the newspapers that are always advertising it free.

In the case of J. D. Thomas yS. Jas. McCarty, tried in the district court last week, the court gave judgment for defendant. This suit was to recov- CT an interest in the Bryan group of mines at Riverside, upon the ground that a grub stake co-partnership ex- isted between the plaintiff and defend ant at the time the latter located the Bryan mines.
 The decision is important in that it settles the question as to how and when a grub stake co-partnership ter inmates, in this territory at least. To state it briefly, the court held that a grub stake co-partnership ends the furnish the grub ceases to furnish sup plies and provisions, and that the re- tention of tools by the prospector, be- longing to the party who has ceased to furnish the provisions and supplies in accordance with the original agree ment, does not continue the co-part- nership. The court also held that an action for the recovery of the value of the tools so retained must be brought within the statutory tine, the same as any other uncovered debt, or be barred by the statutes of limitation.
 Heretofore there has been a sort of general idea that a person furnishing prospector any article used by him in prospecting would be entitled to an interest in any claim discovered or To- cated by such prospector while using such article.--A rizona Blade.

 SENII3RS Tillman and McLauren of South Carolina have resigned and have asked the governor to call a special election in order that the ques- tions over which they differ may be submitted to the people. Tillman is a typical democrat of the populistic brand, while McLauren is really a straight out republican, who is trying to re-organize the democratic party on now lines. It is so very seldom that a senator resigns that the affair has at tractcd unusual interest throughout the country. w. J. Bryan has given out the following statement:
 IL is an honorable course for the Sem ators to pursue and beneficial to the State. At present South Carolina vir- tually has no voice in the settlement of public questions, as the voice Of one Senator kills the vote of the other. Senator Tillman has just been re-elect- cd, and thus risks tho loss of longer term, but Senator McLaurcn really sacrifices more because he has less chance to win in the primary"
 Mir. Bryan stated that it was hardly necessary to add that he hoped and ex- pected to see Senator Tillman win sweeping victory. Because he repre- sents the man, while Senator McLauren represents the dollar. The vote will show whether the plutocratic idea is making any headway in the South"
 Latcr:-Senater McLaurin has with drawn his resignation.

This would give the Gila and Salt River Valleys a new outlet to the markets of the east and would at the same time tap some of tho best mining camps in the terri tory, and would be the means of open ing up several new districts. In their efforts for cheaper and more direct transportation, they will receive the cooperation of all the people along the

NOW TO BE TAXED.
Senator Clark Up Against a Differ
 ent Set of Ruling Powers.
snecinI tnt the Heralf-

Special tO he Herald.
 Phoenix. Ariz.. May 29.-For the first time since be acquired his immense mine holdings in Arizona. Senator ". A. Clark, of Montana, is to be com pelled to pay heavy taxes. It has just been decided in Yavapai county, to assess the United Verde mine. Clark's great property, s6, 900, 600, making an annual tax Of :240. .OOO on the mine.
 Heretofore the Verde has been assessed at s60O, 900 and paid s24, GOO in taxes. The action in putting the in creased assessment on Clark is a re- suit Of the last territorial legislature.
 Until the late session of that body, Senator Clark held strong control over the lawmaking organization. At each session heavy bullion tax, aimed at Clark's mine, has been defeated, and in half hundred tilts, the agents Of the owner of the Verde have always won.
 At the recent session a bill was iu- troduced intended to split Yavapai county, and put the United Verde mine with its town Of Jerome, in county by itself. All of Senator Clark's strength was given the measure, out it was beaten.
 Now the power in control, in the county, is retaliating upon the senator from Montana. The value of the Verde, doubtless the richest mine in the world, has been estimated on a scale ranging from 50,OO0, 900 to s150,- 0OO, 900, and in the recent formation of the Amalgamated Copper company, the Clark mine was listed at s75, ,000, 900.

IT IS now definitely settled that work will be commenced at once on the Deming end of the Phelps-Dodge road which is being pushed from Bisbee east. In fact work has already been commenced. The grade of the old road from Deming into Mexico will be used by the Phelps-Dodge people. It is now serious question whether the road will ever be extended directly into Fl Paso, as it is understood that a track age arrangement has been made with the Santa Fe whereby the train from Bisbee will reach Fl Paso over the Santa Fe track, via Rincon. This will be longer route, but it will ans wer every purpose and will save con- siderable investment. Deming is in high feather over her good luck. She will now make one of the best towns in the territory.

ONE cannot pick up an Arizona news paper these days without being inn pressed with the wonderful amount of development now going on in all parts of the territory. Many new railroads arc being built, and others proposed. New canals arc being constructed all over the territory and old ones are be- ing enlarged and extended. New strikes arsa being made in every dis .--ict In the territory. New mining companies are being formed by the hundreds and old ones are enlarging ard improving their plants. New mon- oy is coming into Arizona by the mill lions and is being invested in various enterprises. All of the towns are growing into cities, and new ones are springing up as by magic. Mining stocks almost without single excep- tion, are advancing steadily in price, and some few have doubled many times within q few months. Arizona is ex- pericncing an era of most remarkable development. It Is not boom because the output Of the territory is increas- ing much faster than its population. New railroads mean new camps, new mines and cheaper transportation for ores and mining supplies and cores pondingly increased demand for agri- cultural products. Arizona is today unquestionably the most prosperous section of the United States. Its wealth will double in five years and its population in ten. There is not an idle man in the territory, except from choice.

THERE is much comment In the the recent supreme court decision in the Puerto Rican case. Some claim that under the decision the constitution follows the flag, while others claim that it does not. The decision is sum- marized as follows:
 1. The Constitution does { and does not) follow the flag.
 2. The United States can have no subject colonies.
 3. Porto Rico and the Philippines are now war territory, and are not yet an integral part of the republic.
 f. They must be governed as war territory until Congress acts.
 3. Congress has the power to with draw the flag and relinquish possession of them.
 6. Congress alone can incorporate new territory into the United States.
 :. The Paris treaty did not incor- porate the new islands into the United States.
 s. The Constitution applies to all territorial possessions of the United States unless Congress wills otherwise.
 Q. The President has no power out side of or beyond the Constitution.
 10. The President can use no dis erection" beyond the limits of the Con- stitution.
 II. The tax on Porto Rican prod ucts is legal.
 A strange thing about it is that the decision is satisfactory to the republi- cans, while the democrats view it with great alarm.
