As warrants to the amount Of over
$4,000 were issued on the county cur
rent fund during the past year and the
reduced tax levy for this year, upon
the 1902 assessment, will yield only a
little over $1,000 for that fund. the
probability is that the new board of
commissioners will be confronted by a
deficiency rather than surplus before
the close Of the year. Since the enact
ment of the revenue law now in force,
taxes long delinquent have been paid
and receipts from this source have
made it possible for several years to fix
lower levies than would otherwise have
been practicable.

Initiating the Music of a Cascade.

Certain tribes on the Amazon have
been fascinated by the music of the
waterfall. Musical instruments were
found in use among them consisting of
a complicated mechanism by which
water was poured from one bowl into
another, in imitation of the cascade.
and then returned by the receiving
bowl into the vessel which had poured
it, SO that by repetition of this mech
anism constant murmur of cascade
could be kept up so long as the audi
ence desired or the player was able to
perform it.

If money is to be the controlling ele-
ment in deciding political preferment
in this state, what chance will there be
for the honest, ambitious and talented
man of modest means? In the future
will it be proper to ask him who seeks
high office, Is he capable, efficient and
worthy of public reward, based on past
and distinguished service; or, will it be
proper 10 ask only, Is he rich aud has
he the means and the desire to spend
money lavishly in order to secure
Office? We are approaching the part
ing of the way. Which road shall we
take?-Olympia Recorder.

OPPOSITION TO MERGER
Talk in Boston of an injunction Againct
Old Dominion-United Globe Deal.

The Globe Silver Belt. the most en-
terprising weekly in Arizona, prints a
special dispatch from Boston which
gives the following particulars of the
opposition to the Old Dominion Unit
ed Globe consolidation:
The faction among the Old Domin-
ion stockholders who are opposed to
the plan CT consolidation with the
United Globe mines, are threatening
to bring legal proceedings to enjoin
the Old Dominion directors from con-
summarizing the merger which would
place Phelps, Dodge & CO. in control.
While a majority Of old Dominion
stock has been deposited with the Ma
tional Shawmut bank, as per agree
ment, yet several large blocks Of the
stock have not as yet been so depos-
tied and Mr.. Fitzgerald asserts posi-
lively that they viii not be delivered.
However, the hundred thousand or
more shares deposited are sufficient to
ratify the agreement between the two
companies, and ii would appear that
all, that the Fitzgerald faction could
hope to accomplish by injunction pro-
Ceedings would be to delay the con-
summation Of the agreement, and by
obstructive tactics, perhaps, annoy
the Phelps Dodge people and provoke
them to withdraw their Offer
The opponents of the consolidation
assert that the Phelps Dodge people
by paying 100000 will, in the event of
the agreement being ratified. secure
a half interest in the Old Dominion
an equal share in a property said TO be
abundantly supplied with nine-per-
cent. copper ore and having $17lOO0
worth Of supplies on hand.
The Fitzgerald faction practically
ignores the property of the United
Globe Mines in the transaction. alleg-
ing that it has only a nominal value.
and is not to be considered as at all
approaching the worth Of the Old Do
minion property.
The contention over Old Dominion,
which is being exploited by the Boston
newspapers, is having a depressing eff

stock having declined yesterday to

Recent references made in the

Reference made by the Standard to
the statement Of President Murphy of
the s F. P & p, while CT his recent
visit here, about the purpose of the
interests he represents to ascertain the
location of the main body of coal above
the MCrenci-Clifton country before
building important lines proposed, has
likewise brought coal prospectors to
the front. An expedition booked for
up the Blue is now getting in readi-
ness. Large bodies Of coal have long
been known to exist in that country.
In both the matter ~ oil and coal,
the Standard is convinced there is
abundant ground for confident pros
pecting in this section. Less than ten
miles from Mcrenci excellent oil for
nation exists. At Frisco station. the
presence of oil on the water has long
given encouragement to the belief that
somewhere higher up the source of this

which consumed the entire morning.
After dinner an inspection was made
Of the surface improvements and the
property in general. All members Of
the party expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the property and
its prospects and We're especially ccm-
plimentary to the management under
up. The party then proceeded on to
an inspection of some Of the A. G.
property. The Standard tramway will
be in operation by December LIST, when
the expensive method of packing by
burros will be done away with which
will also enable the company to ship a
much larger tonnage than heretofore.
During September and October the
company sent down in addition to reg
ular shipments, two shipments OF SIX
cars Of almost pure matte. which ran
nearly fifty per cent. copper. During
the coming month the company pro-
poses erecting large store at its sta
ton on the Colorado railway. The
new town and station will be called
Standard. Development work will now
be more actively pushed, and new
ground opened up, so as to supply ad-
ditional tonnage which can now b.
easily handled by the new tramway.-
