FLOW OF WATER IN LONESOME
 VALLEY.

G. w. Ford, owner of the Hidden Treasure mine, is in town today on bus mess, says the Prescott Herald. He reports the mining outlook for the Lonesome valley district very flourish ing In the Hidden Treasures mine a strong flow of water has been struck at a depth of 125 feet. The water comes in so fast it cannot be handled with buckets. A steam pump will have to be installed before developments can continue.
 MT. Ford informed the Herald editor that big body of excellent gold ore was exposed in the shaft of the Hid den Treasure before the water covered it. The ore carries free gold and seems very rich. An assay is now be- ing made. The ore body is from three to eight inches in width, with very rich streaks in it.

YAvAPAI SUPERVISORS
About to Get That County Into a Law
 Suit.

The board of supervisors of Yavapai county is about to get that county into another law suit, this time over the claim of Sheriff Rob erts for expenses and fees in the capture of the Goddard murder CTS. The claim of the sheriff amounts to about s220O. The board proposes to cut off from it about s1,000. Nearly all the purely expense items have been cut almost squarely ;n two.
 | That was the greatest and most sue cessful chase after murderers in this territory within recent years. It covered a period of four months only 1 but much Of that time the sheriff was on the road night and day. The identity of the slayers of Goddard and Cox was not known and the sheriff was called upon to investigate many clues. He made two trips to the Mexican border, the last time bringing the murderers back with him. He made one or two visits to Yuma and Sheriff Cook and his deputies secured this county at the instance of the Yavapai sEeriff. Bills for only actual expenses were put in but in the case of all the trips men toned the supervisors reduced them by just half
 He DOdTQ Ol SupeGNlSO'S IS SOluly democratic and it is believed by the friends of the republican sheriff that if he were democrat he would have no trouble about his bill.
 It will be remembered that at the time the trials of the murderers was pending an attempt was made to work sentiment in Prescott in their favor and it is said that that was done for the purpose of discrediting the sheriff and to bring him into political disre- pute-
 It is also said that the board of su- pervisors during the administration of an earlier sheriff who was democrat. and some of the present supervisors were members of that board, allowed the claim Of the sheriff amountinr to s2,SOO for going to Yuma and taking service upon an inmate of that in stitution who was wanted as q witness in a criminal case.

to the assessment value of railroad
and telephone property in the state !:
This morning Secretary Webb of
the railroad commission announced
that by the tenth of this month he
expected to have the assessments of
the railroad, telephone and telegraph
property in the hands of the differet
chancery clerks. Capt Webb has been
at work some ii on these assessment
rolls. The rolls show that there are
only five counties in the state which
have no property subject to assessment
by the commission. these counties be-
ing Neshoba and Calhoun. both inter-
ior counties with no telephone line
or railroad. Kinds county has more
railroad property within its boundary
limits than any other county in the
state, the valuation of its railroad
property being sl,tS3. l79. on which
the total tax to the state is 50, 499.
Washington follows next with prop
erty to the value of Sl,563. 2S3. on
which the state tax is So, 14S so.
Lauderdale is next with railroad prop
erty to the value of 81, 247.6 which
yields state tax of s7.4S5.82. Goa
homa il next with railroad property
to the value of 81 ,049 COZ and a state
tax of S., 297 60. The only other
county in the state having railroad
property to the value Of million
dollars or over is Warren, with 81,
OO3, 4s3, which yields a state tax of
sc, 020.S The smalless amount paid
in state taxes by the corporations in
any county in the state is Itawamba,
which has telephone line which is
taxble b. the commission and yields
revuene of "a cents to the state.
Secretary Webb has been so busy that
he has not had time to foot up. the
total valuation of all the railroad
property in the state and the amount
OF state tax that it yields, but will
do so some time in the near future.
This morning Secretary Webb
certified to the auditor t he amount of
privilege tax that the railroads of thu
state ars to pay this year, the amount
being sos, 5S3S1. The privilege tax
last year was $43, $751; Is. This in
crease is due TO the fact that the leg
islature at its last session passed a law
adding ten dollars mi TO those roads
which claimed an exemption from su-
pervision by the comm ission.

THE STATES MINERAL RESOUR-
CES

There has been much said of late
of the states resources from q timber
and agricultural standpoint bus very
little attention has been given her
mineral possessions.
The Clarion-Ledger being among
the first to come to the front along
this line says in recent issue that j:
1.-Two or three counties in the
northeastern part of the state are be-
ginning to attract attention because
of the discovery of deposits of miner
ais OF most every kind, and the organ
ization of strong company to devel-
op them Representatives of the TIA
wanda Coal and Oil Development
Company are showing samples Of coal,
iron, silver. copper and other miner
ais that have been taken from their
properties, and there does not seem to
be any, room for doubt that there is a
fortune in those everlasting old hills
for somebody. Parties from outside
the state recently purchased several
thousand acres of lands, and it is
stated that they backed by abun-
dant capital to develop them. Mis-
sissippians have never doubted that
the state is rich in mineral wealth,
but they have never had the means
of finding out for certain or Of push
ing what they did know.
I'm boring an artesian we'll in the
city of Jackson last week, the con-
tractor struck at depth of nearly one

great deal of time has been spent in
the search. "

and the Vicksburg American add their
evidence to what the Clarion Ledger
states and call attention to other
specimens of minerals found in differ
ent parts of the state. Mississippi
