The good government league. which
is being organized in this city can be
OF great benefit To all concerned II II
Is rightly conducted. The a,owed OBJ.
ject OF the league is TO secure equal.
zBtion OF tax assessments. Everybody
should favor this and should do all in
their power TO bring about better as
sessments OF property. AT present the
rich corporations escape, while the
poor man. who owns only little home
pays more than his share of the bur
dens OF the government.
The only thing the league can do In
the way of lettering the assessment
returns is to appear before the county
and territorial boards of equalization,
and insist upon complete revision OF
the tax returns. The taxpayers make
their returns OF property to the as
SCISSOR. That official has no authority
TO raise or lower the valuations made,
and is In no wise responsible for the
low returns made by the taxpayers.
Teh only remedy is to bring the matter
before the county and territorial
boards OF equalization. This any citi-
zen can do, but what is everybody's
business IL generally neglected. Here
tofore, when the county board OF
equalization Is in session. a few citi-
xens complain about the high assess.

kicks are ever registered by the tax

to European budgets. Then the Unit
ed States Is vastly more liberal with
PENSIONS to its defenders than any
other nation has ever dared TO be.
But there are two items which occur
In all the budgets--interest on the
public debt and cost Of army and navy
These compare in gross amounts and
per capita. as follows:
United States. interest. 500. los, 900 ;

through the alley between the Deming
Mercantile company's store and the
drug store OF j, A. Kinnear 4 Co. ON
his way to light the Presbyterian
church. of which he is the janitor, and
without any warning the flend who
was coming from the opposite direc-
ton struck Juan over the left temple
with club or some other weapon.
Garcia was knocked senseless and laid
there for about three hours before re-
covering. He did not recognize the
party. nor does he know of any motive
that would induce anyone to make
such a murderous assault upon him.

ZINC INDUSTRY.

That the zinc industry OF the United
States is destined TO assume large pro.
portions admits OF little doubt. Since
1873, using the figures as compiled by
the United States geological survey as
b basis for computation. the total pro-
duction OF metallic zinc in the United
States will reach close to 1000 600
tons. These figures do not represent
the production Of zinc ore, but the zinc
in It's metallic state. In 1873, the mum.
Der OF tons OF metallic zinc produced
In this country reached an aggregate
of 7,343 tons. The output in 1902 Is es.
timatel at 1853. 900 tons. This increase
of production has been gradual.
though the tendency OF late years has
been to show a mach greater increase
Of production in proportion to the in
crease made between 1873 and 1897.
The zinc industry in the United
States virtually oates back only fifteen
years. Less than thirty years ago zlnc
ore was considered as so much waste
In Missouri, and piled up In large
dumps as worthless, for the reason
that no method had been invented
which would successfully smelt the
ore. Then for several years zinc sold
as low AZ 80 a ton. Thus the zinc bust
ness in this country has beer built up
within the past few years, and the
greatest increase OF consumption has
been witnessed during the last two
years. The United States has been
obtaining a gradual increase In the
production OF this metal, so that II is
nov estimated this country produces
sa least thirty per cent OF the entire
output OF the world.

PLENTY OF GOLD.

The antlcipations OF Mr. Roberts,

mint, that the worlds yearly produs-
tion OF gold will soon reach S40e 900.
900 are likely to be realized. Tho
new El Dorado In Central Australia

Arltunga shows that a great deposit
of gold has been found there and
that the veins will probably be per
manent. Assays made at Adelaide
show extraordinary richness. A claim
on which practically no development
work mas been done has been sold for
$3.50 600 One account says there are
''hills of gold" whicE only need quar-
rying. Arltunga Is 100 miles from
Adelaide and 400 miles OF the dis

ago explorers In the interior OF Aus.
tralia predicted immense gold finds
in the Central Australia deGert. which
is supposed TO have been the bed Of an
inland sea.
The discoveries OF gold in Siberia,
in great quantities, are confirmed as
also the new gold fields in Alaska,
There is bound to be gold enough for
all the needs OF the civilized world,
and the effect OF these early TWEEN

breakfast there Marshal Maddux took
him In charge and he was placed back

His condition seems somewhat i'm

The most interesting case was that
OF the Territory vs. Robert Love. At
torney A. A. Jones, who defended him,
has been receiving many compliments
upon his skillful handling of the case
and especially upon his great speech
to the jury, which Is considered one Of
the ablest ever delivered In the county
1t will be remembered that in 1901,
Love was awakened from his slumbers
on Halloween to find some young men
trundeling away one of his outhouses
He seized a shot gun and followed
them, shooting and killing Bert Par

ing was accidental. that Love had in
tended only to scare the boys. At the
last term there was hung" jury.
The territory was assisted by Capt. L..
c. Fort. In the cases against +. ID.
LenteE, charged with murder and
against Frank Caution, charged with
selling liquor to minors, there were
eleven very stubborn men on the jury
who insisted on the guilt OF the ac-
cused, and succeeded in defeating the
righteous intentions of one virtuous
| individual. William fitzer. the rail-
road man. who shot the city marshal
victed and sentenced to serve three
and one.haif years. Stewart and
Sweeney, young men who had been
granted judicial clemency before, were
found guilty of burglary and will do

wear convict garb for eighteen months
and George Carter for three years, for
breaking into a bonded car.
The Judge delivered a homily upon
the e.il practice of carrying fire arms.
Several men who were up on this
charge. thereupon thought It the wise
thing to plead guilty. They were fined
500 apiece and costs.
