KENT REVERSES JUDGE DAVIS
Territorial Supreme Court Sustains Board
 of Equalization of Cochise.

of Equalization of Cochise.
 The territorial supreme court has reversed the decision of the district court in the tax suit of Cochise county vs. the Copper Queen. Last year the board of equalization raised the Copper Queen Go. on it's mining property to about $4,5OO,- GOO. The case was taken into the district court, when a ruling was made against the county, the opin- ion being that the case was illegal on the ground that the valuation was out of proportion with mining property in other counties. and consequently Cochise county would pay a disproportionate amount of territorial taxes. In effect, the ruling of the supreme court sus- tains the board of equalization. This means that when a just value is placed on property by the board of equalization the taxes must be paid.

WHEN AND HOW TO INVEST.
W. L. George Imparts Timely Advice
 to Possible Stock Purchasers.

to Possible Stock Purchasers.
 It is often wondered in the minds of the general public what consti' tutes good investment. With the average man possessing from $2OC to $500, his first inquiries are What rate of dividend is this or that company paying; if it is a mining company paying per cent per month, it isn't enough, but ii one is selling stock of such an en- terprise from 5 cents to 10 cents on the dollar, perhaps they might buy few shares.
 And if you are a promoter and want to sell stock for figure any where near the par value, you will have to show dividends close to 100 per cent per annum or keep the stock close.
 Now, should anyone have from $2OO to $500 to invest in mining stock, don't get out and look for dividend-paying stock. This is the reason why: If stock is already paying a dividend of 1 per cent monthly, that is about all that can be expected of it. Such proposi ton would represent what some would be looking for, that have $2OO,OOO or $30O,OOO to invest; be- cause it would then find employ ment for funds that would return sufficient interest to provide a good income. But one cannot expect luxuries on the income from $2O0 or $500 alone. What one can do with such amount is this: First, hunt up a company that is just starting, and find out if the men behind it are of the right kind. If you find the men are of good repu- tations, and are experienced in that line of business, then jump in with your $500 and buy the stock at cheap figures, before dividends are ever thought of; and should you be lucky enough to buy stock for 10, Io1 short time you will notice that your stock is worth more than $500. If you have used even common sense in selecting your company, the stock should be at par when divi- dends become feature; and if you have bought your stock at 10, 20 or 25 cents per share, your little pile of $500 has grown into $2, 400 or 5000.
 Do not entertain the idea that there are no good investments to be made, for 1 know of number Of good propositions actually beg ging for financial support. Some of them at the present time are making no progress, simply be- cause the promoters have exausted their funds and cannot interest small capitalists, owing to the fact that they are not dividend-paying mines.
 The Treadwell sold for $4OO in 1881; it is now worth $10,OOO,OO0. It is big low-grade deposit of ore. Why it is worth that amount to- day is because it attracted the at tention of capitalists, increased the number of persons who were inter ested in it and gave rise to the nee essary capital for development. Then came the improvements and economies which are derived from i the knowledge of many persons of wide experience in that line. That is all that is needed to promote and perfect any proposition having even a small amount of merits at the outset.

A road has just been completed between Globe and Fort Apache, and in the future the business of that fort will pass through Ell Paso instead of by way of Holbrook The old road ran to Holbrook, distance of a little over a hundred miles, and over very rough coun- try. The new road is only about fifty miles. The passenger vehicles running over the road make the trip in about twelve hours.-Phe- nix Democrat.

| Eartn naS passed agaln out O. the sere yellow leaf. Grasses carper the ground and the air is incensec with the breath of myriad of flow CTS. All nature is in gala dress, yet all things are full of the activ- ity that comes of regeneration.
 Thus the Easter day always Earth now is in sympathy with the gladness of men in the promise of the golden day. Easter answers affirmatively the piteous cry of af ficted Job: "If man die shall he live again?"
 The religion of the Christ is the only theology which holds out the assurance of immortality. Man has longed for it from the begin ming.
 It was the heart-whisper of this hope which sustained Eve when she looked upon the prostrate body of her murdered boy. The ancient Jew hoped for it, yet looked in vain for promise of it in the sacred books of his people. Plato brought all the reason of his mighty genius to his aid; yet he, least of all, was sat- isfed with the potent arguments he advanced to show that man is inn mortal.
 What the Koran teaches of resur rection from the dead is borrowed from the writings of the apostles. Confucius left a superb philosophy for the guidance of his people, but in all of it there is not one word touching a future life.
 Paul alone, expounder of the faith of the Christian, claimed to have climbed from the hill of faith to that of knowledge. He knew, he declared, that if the earthly house of his tabernacle were dis solved, he had building, house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. He alone of all men who have written, has given req sons, cogent, convincing, comfort ing, to prove the resurrection of man from the dead.
 But Paul finds his argument in the grave of one put to death for an alleged crime against society. He wended his way to the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, and. being in the spirit, he witnessed that first Easter day, when the angels told the women: "He is not here; He is risen."
 This is his argument-a risen Christ. "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and be- come the first fruits of them that slept"
 Strange, this, that one goes to a grave to find proof of mans resur- rection from the dead. Eternal silence dwells in the City of the Dead. Rachel goes thither in vain for voices to speak from the midst of the dead. Yet the Christian points to the tomb where the Christ was laid, and, pointing to the stone that was rolled away, says, with confidence: ''I know that my Re- deemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth"
 Three striking events stand out in the life of Christ-His birth, His death, His resurrection. At Christ mas one thinks of the Christ-child, the manager of the stable, the her aid song of the angels, the gifts and adoration of the magi. Good Fri day recalls the days of His tempta- tion in the wilderness, the agony in Gethsemane, the trial before Pilate, the weary journey along the Via Dolorosa, the wounds in His hands and feet. But all of His sufferings

AS TO FOREST
 RESERVE LAW
Another Decision as to Constitu- tionality of Grazing Rules
 on Forest Reserves.

The test case against Joseph
 Dent for sheep trespass on the Sal,
 Francisco mountain forest reserve,
 in which the district court found
 him guilty of trespass and imposed
 a fine, which decision was subse-
 quently reversed by the supreme
 court of the territory of Arizona,
 claiming the act of congress, under
 which the rules and regulations
 promulgated by the secretary of the
 interior, governing the forest re-
 serves, unconstitutional, was of
 much interest to stockmen.
 United States Attorney Freder- ick s. Nave is preparing motion asking for re-hearing on the case.
 In the circuit court of appeals for the ninth judicial district of California, case very much sim liar was passed upon, deciding the law under which injunction pro- ceedings were had to restrain sheep men from grazing their sheep on the reserve, was constitutional, and the fines of $1OO for disobeying the injunction of the circuit judge were affirme by the court of appeals. The main points of the decision are as follows:
 "The court upon the hearing, overruled the demurrer and grant ed an order for an injunction pen dente lite. This appeal is from the order of granting the injunction.
 The contention of the counsel for the appellants is CD that the rules hereinbefore referred to 'discrimi- nate against the owners of sheep;' (2) that the appellants had an inn piled license to pasture (their sheep) upon the public domain; (3) that the act of congress Gap proved June 4, 1S97) is an 'unau- thorized delegation of legislative to an administrative of- ficer'; (4) that mo irreparable in jury is shown, and (5) that there is misjoiner of defendants" And upon these several points they cite many authorities.
 It must be admitted that the leg islative authority of the United States is vested in congress, and that congress has no authority to delegate legislative power to the secretary of the interior, or to any administrative officer, the author ity to make laws; and if the act of congress approved June 4, 1897, (30 Stat. 35) is legally susceptible of the construction contended for by appellants, it would clearly be unconstitutional By that act the secretary of the interior was au- thorized to make such rules and regulations and esta blish such ser vice as will insure the objects of such reservations, namely: to regu- late their occupancy and use and to preserve the forests thereon from destruction". Does this lan- guage delegate any power to the secretary of the interior to make law, or does it simply confer upon the secretary an authority to adopt such rules and regulations. as to him may seem fit and proper; ia order to secure the objects for which the reservation was created; such acts to be exercised under and in pursuance of the law enacted by congress? Let us see. Congress cannot delegate it's power to make a law, but it can make law to delegate a power to an administra- tive officer to determine a fact or condition of affairs in regard tu which the law makes its own action depend.
