breaking and nerve wrccking talk Of counting ccsh.
 The amount mentioned was yesterday transferred from the county treasury to the territorial treasurer. as the ter ritory's portion of the tax collections to d1 te. Earlier in the month Mr. Walk CT turned over to the territory 6,660 for interest on funding bends, making tc- laI or over S100,0OO that Maricopa has paid thus far for this years contribu- ton to the maintenance of the territor ial government. These figures are worth paying attention to for a pleas ing inference can be drawn, the $1G0,010 hcirS less than half the taxes already collected for the year, the total ccllec- tions mclking a fine prosperity ap- Uearanoe for the county.
 Fir~t, it should be noted that last :ear's tax rate was 21 cents higher than it was this year. yet at the lower rate MT. Welker has collected this year to date, $231, 1,915.62 against s226.977.E2 last year, an increase this year of $4, S3S.4C.
 Another interesting deduction is that the people have come up with a much larger proportion of their taxes than usual to date. Last year the total as- sessment was $273, S69.67, of which $226- s7722 was collected at this date, leaving $4GS9245 delinquent. This year the as sessment was smaller. being S26S,063.27. Deductfug this years collection to date, $231 ,Sl5G2, leaves delinquent $36, 747.65, which is $10,144.S0 less than the amount delinquent last year. These things all indicate the prosperity of the country and while money has been scarce for some time, it only proves that it was scarce because people were using it to a good purpose instead of locking It up in the cellar. It should not be fo-- gotten also that there has been a much greater investment of local capital in local enterprises this year than ever occurred before, hundreds of people in the valley having bought and party or wholly paid for real estate and other holdings
