abe. If bullion tax bill is passed at all it will create law levying on the gross output of ores or bullion. or both, irrespective of corporation prof it's and the costs of ore treatment, which are widely at variance in the different mineral regions. The argu- ment is that taxes efecting other bus mess interests are not based upon profits, but upon actual values.
 The administration takes the view that the present legislature has been ever ready to swell the proportions of the Roemer omnibus appropriation bill, without providing revenues for the territory. The appropriations called, for the most part, are essential and some of them are imperative But the governor intimates that if may be bad policy to sign the omnibus appro- priation bill and minor appropriat tion bills without providing additional revenue sources for the territory. This condition undoubtedly is exerting it's influence toward the passage of the bullion tax and Cowan bills. It is remembered that in the closing days of the session there will be a scramble for the passage of appropriation bills and a great many members of the leg islature are seeking some kind of an appropriation. The chief executive will not be compelled to sign or veto an appropriation bill in it's entirety, but it is left to his administration to veto items that may be objectionable from his viewpoint. Doubt 'ess every ap- propriation bill will be signed by the governor if either the bullion tax or the Cowan bill is passed but in the failure to pass one of these revenue providing measures, some of the ap- propriation bi-ls may be placed under the ban by the administration.

 Victor Artl, while in Ihe city re- gently in conversation wilh a Prospec- tor reporter, said that never in the history of the county had there been so much going on in the mining in dustry in the northern end of ths coun- Sy than at the present time.
 Mir. Art has been for some months in the employ of the Buckeye Mining company, who are working near the old Ft. Bowie reserv ation MT. Artl says the company are developing more power and are extending the tramway about a half cnile nearer to the mines to facilitate the cheaper handling of ores. He was near the scene of the recent fatal accident of the explosion of a dynamite ih which Wm. Steel and Pat ODonneIl lost their lives.
 He informs us that the exp 'osion was not the result of carelessness. as Steel and O'DonneI were old and eX- perienced miners. and were following g out one of the old established rules for thaving out frozen dynamite A brother of Wln. Steel arrived from Kansas City last week and took the remains back 10 Kansas. where they were buried. Gravene and Madison are both recovering and vii soon be able to be out.
 MT. Artl is interested with Chirs Grauer in group of claims at Dos Cabezas, on which they hBve done over 600 feet of development work. They have made several shipments of ore which run as high as $50 per ton in silver and lead Fl Paso parties have recently visited this property with a view of taking a bond on them.

THE WHITE GOLD MINE.
Assay Values Increasing-The District
 Is FulI-of Prospertors
(Phoenix Republican,


 Leonard White who came down from Wickenburg yesterday morning re ports unusual activity in the Black Rock mining district, in which the White God Mining compauy's property is situated He says there are proba- bly fifty prospectors at work in that section, more in fact than at any pre- vious time within it's recollection. He was told on Saturday that sensation al strike had been made by some one in that neighborhood. but he could not learn who the lucky prospector was, nor just where the new find is located. He also says he was told a deal is on for the bonding of the Ma honey properties, just east of the White company's ground and across Slim Jim Gulch. The figures are not given out, if indeed the deal has been made yet
 Speaking of the White mine he grows more enthusiastic as the days go by. The lower tunnel is now 250 feet and the ore body developed is fully five feet wide. Some distance back an upraise was run to connect with the upper tunnel giving good air in both workings Two shifts are en- ployed on the lower tunnel The upper tunnel has not been worked for a few weeks, but a shift will be started there shortly. The company thus far has <kl the men that could be hand ed to advantage. What the company most needs is mill and Messrs. W Walk CT and A J. Edwards are now in the east on the mission of securing funds for mill construction. Asked regarding the values, Mir White says the assays are getting a little better all the time. The method of work is to run the 'tun nel along under the vein and at the end of every ten feet drill through the vein. sampling the contents of the hole in order to get an average of The whole vein. The last assays made returned s2s.s5 in gold and s35O fr- silver. The preceding assay was s2a in gold and ten ounces of silver
 The Dos Cabezas Gold Mines com pany intends to have its plant in the Dos Cabezas mountains in operation in about four weeks. Delay has been caused by the non-arrival of machinery and the work has not been completed as soon as anticipated.
 At least fifty mineral locations have been made within the last week near Douglas. Several parties have found quartz at the foot of Niger Head and it gave assay of SIS in gold, A per cent copper and g per cent lead. De velopment work will begin on some of the claims at once and locators have good hopes of finding mines very close to the city.

GOVERNOR ERODE
 STANDING FIRM
STILL INSISTING THAT THE REC OMMENDATIONS OF HTS MESSAGE BE CARRIED
 OUT.
The Most Important Bills at Present are Revenue Producing Measures Governor Opposes Increased
 Appropriations Without
 Increased Revenues

PIUeniX March 8 -Two-thirds of the time allotted the Twent-second leg is'ative assembly for deIIberation has passed up to the governor and signed. There are a great many half-formed laws, for scores and scores of bills have been introduced into the house and the council committees are con- gested with house bills. About one bill per week has not kept the govern or very busy in affixins his signature to the tangible acts of the legislature. but the chief executive has been more than busy in frankly stating to various legis ators that he was sincere in the recommendations of his message.
 Some Of the lawmakers have made a great many journeys to the govern or's office to determine whether it could be possible that the governor. sitting in his executive chambers. would be just as positive in talking about his recommendations as he was when he read his message before the assembled lawmakers. They have been forced to accept the governors attitude as absolutely sincere for the chief executive has made it absolutely clear that while platforms may be formed to catch votes. 8 governors message may not be formed for the same purpose.
 Governor Brodie's attitude on the various public questions is unchange- able for two reasons. In the first place. Colonel Brodie's honesty of purpose is seldom doubted Tn the second place, the colonel came to this terri tory with an admonition from Presi- dent Roosevelt to make the people of Arizona good governor. He has no political aspirations, although he may have some military ambitions The admonition of the President is his law by choice. and in point of duty. and in pursuit of those principles which gov erned the formation of his message he has enlisted the personal friend ship of nearly every democrat in the legislature and the cordial support of the legislative members of his own party.
 The most important bills at present aye revenue producing measures. Among these are the bullion tax bill and the Cowan bill A bullion tax bill introduced some time ago in the house. does not meet with much favor and unless a substitute is introduced in the house, republicans in the coun- cil will take a hand. The bill pro vides for tax on the net profits of mining corporations. The enforce ment of such law would. be fraught with much difficulty and would create a publicity in the private affairs of corporations that seems to be undesir-

 Before Making an Appoint
 ment-Talk of Dark Horse.

The delegation which went to Montgom- cry yesterday to present the name of the Hon. Charles W. Ferguson to Governor Jelks for appointment to the judgeship made vacant by the promotion of Judge senu, returned last night, feeling conn- dent that the nomination would go to MT. Ferguson. They say however, that no appointment will be made for several days. as the governor intends to await the presentation of Captain Wards peti- tion
 The delegation was composed of the fol- lowing attorneys and laymen: James Weatherly, chairman and spokesman; Ma than L. Miller, John P. Tillman, Lee c. Bradley, II. P TIehin, R. IT. Thatch, Hugh Morrow, John c. Pugh, Jones G. Moore and N. w. Scott.
 A telegraphie indorsement of MT. Fergu- son's candidacy signed by large num- Der of the members of the bar, was sent to the governor yesterday.
 As to Captain Ward.
 It cannot be learned positively when the presentation of Captain Wards claims on the appointment will be made. but it is generally believed that it will come before the governor early next week. It is known that the petition Is a very strong one, and has been signed by some of the most prominent members of the bar as well as some of the most infiuen- tial business men of Birmingham. Who will present the petition and act as spokesman has not yet been given out.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday a prominent attorney said: Should the governor make the appointment within the next forty-eight hours believe that it would easily be Ferguson. but think that if the matter drags. and each side shows strong factional feeling In the two-sided fight, dark horse may de- velop.
 That is what he did in the matter of the railroad commissioner"
 The Dark Horse.
 The dark horse" has been most often mentioned as John B. Wealley, but when asked about 1t MT. Weakiey said that he was not a candidate, nor did he in- tend to make any application. When asked whether or not he would assume his way he answered by saying that he was in no sense candidate.
 The developments of the next few days will be watched with great interest, es- pecially by members of the bar.
