COURTS To PASS
ON THE RAISE
Taxpayers to Ask forRe-
view Of State Boards
Action.
Higher Valuation Would Put
81, 100000 More in the
City Treasury.

A number Of large property owners
were in consultation yesterday with AS
SCISSOR Dodge for the purpose of taking
steps to have the arbitrary raise of the
assessed valuation by the State Board Of
Equalization set aside by the Federal
courts. The plan as agreed upon con-
templates the institution of mandamus
proceedings to review the action of the
board with the object of showing that
the raise was unwarranted and that the
assessed valuation as fixed by Assessor
Dodge should stand
AS ground for the action a parallel case
was cited In the State of Illinois, where
on application of the railroad the Fed
eral courts interviewed and reviewed the
assessment as made by the State Board
of Equalization which raised the assess
ment to a valuation of 100 cents upon the
stocks and bonds of the corporations
The Federal courts thereupon fixed the
assessment far in excess of what the
railroads had paid taxes upon in the past
but still at a lesser amount than the
Board of Equalization had raised it to.
The suit will be instituted at once by
some property owner yet to be decided
upon.
'The principle involved" said Assessor
Dodge, 'is that the constitution guaran-
tees that property cannot be confiscated
without due process of law. In other
words. the taking away of property I'M
der the guise of taxation is unconstitu-
tional"

LOST TOURISTS
FOUND ALIVE
Travelled Around Noun
tain ALI Night.
Experience of Mr.. Verkamp and
Miss Brown-Nearly Exhaust
ed When Found.

Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct. 20.-(Special
to Journal Miner Word reached here
late last night that Leo Verkamp and
Miss Mabel Brown, who became sepa-
rated from their companions ON Sun
day had turned up at a ranch on
Monday eighteen miles northwest of
town and on the opposite side Of the
San Francisco peaks from their start
ing point and about fifty miles out of
their way. In losing the road they
evidently became confused and follow
ed the mountains to the right instead
of the left. They spent the entire
night travelling and were nearly ex-
hausted from exposure and lack of wa
ter. 1t is feared the experience will
yet result seriously with Miss Brown,
who has recently recovered from a
sick spell. The main party of search
ers centered on the northeast side of
the mountain unaware that the miss
ing couple had been found, and it
was at late hour last night before a
messenger could reach them.

to Journal Miner. Miss Mabel Brown
and Leo. B. Verkamp, who lost their
way returning from the lava beds Sun
day night turned up at ranch sixteen
miles north west of town on Monday
afternoon fifty miles out of their way.
They spent the entire night travelling
using the San Francisco peaks as a
guide. They we're brought to town
late on Monday night considerably
the worse for their twenty two hours
ride. Miss Brown has just recently
recovered from serious illness and
not being used to riding it is feared
that the exposure will be serious
shock to her.

NEW
BRICK FACTORY
Receiving Finishing
Touches at Present.
Mammoth Steam Cylinder Has Ar
rived and Is in POsitiOn-Will
Start Wednesday.

The immense steam cylinder, in
which sand bricks are given the fin
ishing touches, has arrived at the
sand brick factory and has been an
cbored in position. 1t is an immense
affair, capable of holding 20, 900 bricks.
A track is laid in il TO admit of small
cars, each car holding 1000 bricks
and the cylinder being large enough
to hold twenty of these cars. These
cars are loaded at the machine just as
the bricks are pressed by the immense
machine, and as rapidly as they are
loaded they are pushed in place in
this big cylinder. At the conclusion
of the days work, the cylinder head is
screwed on and steam is turned into
the cylinder, passing through some
chemical combination which serves to
harden and solidify the bricks, and
turn them into stone. The steam is
kept at steady pressure of 100 pounds
to the square inch for from eight to
twelve hours, at the expiration of
which time they are finished product
ready for laying in the wall. The
capacity of the plant is limited only
by the capacity of the cylinder in
which they received their final treat
ment which as stated is 20, 600 per day.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the steam pressure in this cylinder be
maintained at a uniformly steady
pressure Of 40 pounds to the square
inch, or at least within a few pounds
of this and to show this the COM
pany has secured late invention call
ed steam clock. This is connected
with the cylinder and any morning
one can go to it and see the exact
pressure registered for every minute
of the period the pressure has been
turned on.
The plant is Just nov receiving its
finishing touches and will be all ready
to start up on Wednesday. MIR.
Huenekes. the inventor and patentee
of the process. agreed when here last
spring to return and superintend the
starting of the plant. The company
has wired him to come and he is ex-
pected the latter part of the week.
In the meantime, the machinery will
be started up and All experimental run
of few days will be made by the
prior to his arrival, unless |
he should put in an appearance sooner I
than expected.
The operation of this plant promises
to be quite important to this section,
if the promises in regard to it are
realized, as it is said that brick of su
perior quality to the .old fashioned
brick can be manufactured at a less
cost.

Fashions For Brides.

There was time when there were
but two materials that we're consider
ed suitable for the Wedding gown.
namely, silk and satin. But today the
bridal dress may be selected from a
variety of fabrics. If "a silk or satin
be chosen. il must be of the hand
soonest, but lace gown is even more
attractive, while one of chiffon or
Liberty gauZe is daintiest of all.
When the last are made in either the
tucked or shirred styles they are fas-
cinating and very little trimming is
required. Even the inexpensive India
silks. in the ivory tint, are used with
charming results. The sea'foam taffe-
tas. too, may be used, but would be
more attractive as a foundation for
the fine sheer woollens-veiling and
voile-tbat are so favored. The long,
unbroken lines of the princess mode
make it favorlte for heavy satin or
silk, and fortunately the design for
the front of the waist is not so severe
as formerly. Lace may be draped in
surplace folds or arranged in short
bolero form, and folds of the material
are sometimes used to soften the rath-
Ell severe lines. Perhaps the best
liked material is crepe de Chine; it
falls in such graceful lines and is sug-
gestive OF the most artistic possibili-
ties. The question of wells is an i'm
portant one, and many prefer the sim
pie. unadorned tulle wells to those of
costly lace; certainly the tulle veil is
the most becoming. White silk stock
ings and white satin, kid or lace slip
pers are worn with the white wedding
gown, and white suede gloves, prefer
ably with the mousquetaire wrist. are
the correct hand covering. From The
Delineator for November.

Its Tracks Are Oiled.

Oil tenders have been added to 492
locomotives on the S. p system, a
change which, it is claimed, has the
virtue of economy, as we'll as comfort
for the passengers riding behind such
locomotives, says the Tucson Star. 1t
is estimated that it takes los gallons
of crude oil to make one ton of coal.
Oil costs one cent gallon; coal over
a ton; hence the economy The
comfort is claimed because of the lack
of cinders from the oil. Farmers wei
come the oil burners because no Gin
ders come from the engines to set fire
to the grain fields or grass near the
railway.
In arizona over two hundred miles
of track are now oiled The original
expense Of this oiling has been about
sS5 mile, but the second year it is
claimed the expense will be half as
much. 1t is planned to oil all the
sandy and dusty tracks through Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico, and
also to oil the grounds about the sta
tions where there is so much travel as
to make disagreeable dust. This oil
ing of station grounds at various
points upon the coast line has proved
most satisfactory.

CANADIANS ARE

At Decision of Alaskan
Boundary Case.
Commissioners Refuse to Sign the
Findings of Commission and
Threaten to Resign.

London, Oct. 20 An engrossed copy
of the Alaskan award was signed at
2:10 p. ID. today. The Canadian com
missioners, Ailesworth and Jette, de-
clined to sign the award, but will
submit their contrary opinions to the
tribunal so as to go officially on rec
ord. While they declined to sign the
award they signed the maps agreed on
by the majority. The award relating
to the Portland canal gives the United
States two islands, commanding the
entrance to the channel and an ocean
Passage to Port Simpson. destroying
the strategic value of Wales on Peass
islands, which was given to Canada.
The mountain line adopted lies so far
from the coast, as to give the United
States substantially all the territory
in dispute. The Canadian commits
sioners said they would publicly with
draw from the commission. They
were bitter.

The ROpIng Contest.

The cowboy tournament of the
twenty third annual New Mexico fair
closed last evening. More expert COW
and horse men were entered in this
tournament than at any previous fair.
but the exhibitions were the poorest
yet. In the ropiDg contests the times
which took the monies, were a dis
grace to the profession and the cow
men assembled. Clay McGonigIe
Of Roswell, won the first money, $500,
with SO - seconds, ten seconds more
time than he made at Tucson in the
year 1900. There is little doubt but
that McGonigle is the champion roper
Of the world, but his winning the
tournament this year is due to his
drawing the easiest steer in the bunch.
1t was the smallest steer in the pen
and was an easy runner. McGonigle
made the winning time after running
his steer around turn, but his throw
and tie was an exhibition of skill.
The champion said yesterday to The
Citizen reporter that he never but
once saw steers as large, strong and
fast as those used in the just closed
tournament, and that he was much
surprised when it came to pass that
bis time was not beaten.
j. G. Carroll of Roswell. took sec
ond place and money. Carroll roped
and tied his steer in 46 IL seconds.
Kelly Phillips was third with so sec
onds, and l.. NJ. Barksdale fourth with

VISIT FROM TWO
EX-SECRETAR|ES
WhoAre Both Delighted
With Arizona.
After Short Stay In Prescott Gen
Alger and Party Leave For
California.

F. NJ. Murphy and party arrived in
Prescott by special train, in two pri-
vate cars last evening. One of the
cars was the Michigan belonging to
the Development Company of America
and the other was Mr. Murphy's pri-
vate car. The gentlemen composing
the party are Ex-Secretary of War
Russell A. Alger, Secretary of the
Interior, Cornelius n. Bliss, Russell
A. Alger, jr., Temple E. Dorr, of Sag
NAV, Michigan. Henry Wick of
Youngstown, Ohio. and H. W. Stand
ard and Col. H. q. Hopkins, of
Detroit, Michigan
The party stopped en- route yester-
day at the Congress mine. While
General Alger is no stranger to Ari-
iona, having interests here and hav-
ing visited the territory before it was
Mr.. Bliss first visit, though as secre-
tary OF the interior he became thor
oughly familiar with conditions here.
Notwithstanding this familiarity the
trip had been the means of furnishing
with much information in detail that
can not be obtained in any other way
information interesting and surpris-
ing at the same time.
General Alger and Mr.. Bliss came
to Phenix day ahead of the others
of the party and the time was spent in
driving over the valley. Incidentally
of course this also gave them an op-
portunity to witness the reception
rendered by the people there to the
Hearst party.
Their sojourn IN Prescott was quite
brief as they left today en- route to
California where they will visit for
some time. During their Visit here
they were driven around town by Mr..
Murphy.

formation concerning the territoy and
its resources.
In conversation today Mr. Murphy |
told the Journal Miner editor that I
everything in the mining line in the
southern part of Arizona is extremely
active. Work is progressing very sat
isfactorily in the Tombstone mines
and they are now working below water |
level there. While these properties .
we're opened up as silver mines, and |
obtained their great reputation as
such Mr.. Murphy says that from half |
to two thirds Of the ore values where
they are working now are in gold. He
has great faith in the future of the |
properties and that they will amply |
justify the heavy expenditures which 1
have been required to reopen them.

Something to Figure On.
This is the problem {:

This is the problem:
Mary is "a years old; Mary is twice
as old as Ann was when Mary was as
old as Ann is nov. How old is Ann?
The puzzle has come, been seen and
has conquered at Harvard University.
1t is mightier at tackle than football
1t has caught New England in its
compelling grasp. Out of the figuring
that it has worked in the east the
slate and pencil industries are ex-
pecting boom to Danish all thoughts
of winter of discomfort.
In its simplicity is the aIluriDg
strength of this problem. The state
ment of terms involves perfect frank
ness and no useless multiplication of
words. "Mary is 81 years old, and
so forth. Adorable Mary! But be-
hold at the finish the leading ques-
ton: Chow old is Ann!''

MINING INTELLIGENCE

The Pacific Coast Miner, in its last
issue contains the following compli-
mentary mention of Prescott mining
company. Under the caption, "A Min
ing Company to be Emulated," it
says: The Corona Consolidated Gold
and Copper Mining company, of Pres
colt, Ariz., is unique in at least one
respect. Contrary to the usual prac-
tice of the mining companies at the
present time particularly those of re-
cent incorporation, this company has
issued circulars giving frankly and
fully a status of the property, the
amount of money in the treasury, and
the AMOUNT of shares held, as we'll as
details Of development work. This
frankness is TO be commended and
the company would seem to be an
honestly conducted concern. We ad-
wise many of the mining companies
who, perhaps, are negligent through
ignorance Of the methods employed
by legitimate concerns in disseminat-
ing this class of information. to ap-
ply to this company, whose president
is A. j. Head and whose secretary is
W. S. Goldsworthy,a at Prescott, Ariz.,

indorse the mine, but merely state our

nation of the company's financial
