Our contemporary makes a point
which is heartily endorsed by this pa
per, but it has no bearing whatever
on the question at issue. That is that
the assessment of mines should be
equalized by the territorial board of
equalization. Until this board does
its duty in the matter however it is
no reason why county assessors or
county boards of equalization in any
one county should not perform their
duty, because some one else has failed.
Again our contemporary says it was
matter of law and justice that ac-
tuated the board. Justice to whom?
The tax payers of this county? Ask
any of them il he can realize where
the delicate point of justice exists in
assessing his property up to almost
its market value and compelling him
to pay taxes at that value, and then
compare with it the assessment of the
United Verde at one third or one
half its value, and then even at this
low assessment lop off nearly one
fourth of the taxes so assessed. We
venture to say that not to exceed one
tax payer in twenty will be able to
realize the justice of such a case.
Law? Where did the board go for
their legal advice? Was it to the dis
trict attorney, or did H. J. Allen
act as their legal adviser? They did
not consult the legal adviser of the
county in the case, but he did ex-
press an opinion verbally to them OIL
the subject.
Did they heed his advice? If not
where did they get the law in the
case? Certainly not from the court
decision, as there was nothing in it tt
Justify their action. Then where il
the name of justice did they get theil
law from? And in the name of Law
where did they incubate their ideas O
Justice?
Again our contemporary makes ;
terrible plea for the honorable mo
tives of the board. Nothing has beer
Published to the contrary, though boil
apologists for the boards action hav'
come to its rescue on this point. VIII!
is this? Has it an appearance on tn
very face of it whereby dishonorabl
motives might be attached? In tn
absence of any being charged, tn
apologists of the board must realiZ
such condition, else why this per
sistent assertion and assistance tina
they were actuated solely by honor
able motives?

They May Confess.
figure.

While the two Mexicans in the
county Jail awaiting to be executed
next Friday at IL o'clock have main
tanned a sullsn indifference as to their
surroundings and approaching fate
they have at last begun to show signs
of weakening or at least one of them
has. The tall slim Mexican with the
scar on his face still attempts at least
to show indifference, and when he
was asked by the death watch if he
did not want to have the Catholic
priest call and talk with him he re-
piled with an oath that he wanted
nothing to do with him. His COM
panion, the short heavy set man, has
shown considerable uneasiness for the
past two or three days and acts like
he wanted to say something about the
awful deed, and the guards fully be-
lieve that before the execution he will
make a full confession. Ii i said that
when the guards compelled them to
take bath last night they showed
more signs of real suffering than at
any previous time since they have
been in Jail.
One of the parties VIII was recently
discharged from the county Jail told
an attorney in this city that during
the time he was in the Jail he over
heard conversations from which he
gathered the idea that the murderers
bad been hired to commit the awful
crime. Should a confession be made
something of that nature may crop
out, as one of the mysteries of the
tragedy has always been the object the
murderers had for committing the

Death of left Davis.

Cornelius, better known as JEFF
Davis, one of the old time settlers OF
Yavapai county, died at his home at
Wagner last Friday, July u, after a
very brief illness. Deceased was 20
years old, and had resided in this
county since in the early sixties. He
was a typical frontier character, big
hearted, jovial and of rough exterior,
but man universally liked. He
came to Arizona at time when it
was not the most pleasant place on
earth to live. as man starting on a
Journey of ii few miles never knew
what might befall him on account of
the Indians who lurked along almost
every trail ready to pick off "a travel
er. Many we're the thrilling exper-
fences he as we'll as others of the early
settlers had with the red men.
For several years past he has resided
at Wagner, living in a cabin alone.
He was at one time deputy postmaster
there. He was also justice of the
peace of that precinct and just the
day before he was taken sick, as eX-
officio coroner, he held an inquest
over tine remains of Jake Merchant
another old timer of that section.
He was native of Ohio and was
unmarried and had no relatives resid-
ing in this section. His funeral Oc
Cured on Saturday. burial being in
the Walnut Grove grave yard and it
was attended by all the residents of
that section among whom he was eX-
tremely popular and by whom he will
be greatly missed. X.

Plant For Sand Brick.

Machinery for the Sand Brick com
pany's plant has commenced to arrive
and the work of stalking off location
was commenced yesterday. The site
selected for its location is at the old
race track grounds, owned by X. n.
Fredericks, about two miles west
CT town. The building will be
6Ox14O feet, and the plant and build
ing, completed, ready for operation
will cost between $50, 600 and S35, 600.
The sand on the above place is said
to be peculiarly we'll adapted to the
making of fine quality of brick by
this process. 1t is the intention of
the company to rush work ON the con-
struction of its building and in in
stalling its machinery in order if pos
sible TO be able to furnish brick for
the new buildings at Whipple. 1t is
stated that the constructing quarter
master has passed favorably upon
these bricks. The plant will have
capacity of from 1900 to 10000
bricks per day, and the manufacture
of them is ON an entirely different
plan from the old one of making
bricks Under the old plan from the
time that molding kiln of bricks is
commenced to the time of the COM
pletion of their burning and cooling
ready for use, requires several weeks.
By this plan the bricks are nodded,
and pressed one day and in the even
ing are placed in a water tight cyl
inder, under heavy steam pressure,
and on the following morning are
taken out finished product, ready
for the builder. Or in other words
each day sees complete and finished
product up to the full capacity of the
plant. The expense, as compared with
the present plan of making bricks is
said to be considerably less, but as the
bricks are said to be greatly superior
to the burned brick the probability is
that they will not be sold at less

UNFORTUNATE AP0L0GISTS.

In their frantic efforts to find some
excuse for the recent transaction of
the board of supervisors for making
that sl4, 900. Dist of July present, to
the United Verde Copper company,
our two Prescott contemporaries have
filed two additional charges against
the board, one of which was already
known pretty generally to the public,
but the other of which was known to
but few people. One of the super
yisors apologists says:
''The settlement and compromise
with the Perrin Land and Cattle COM
pany was identically the same kind
of a case. The assessment was higher
than MIR. Perrin thought was just and
he refused to pay. He did not put
up the taxes demanded by the county
before entering complaint. The sup
ervisors took up the matter with Per
rim and lowered his taxes. "
Is this another care of two wrongs
making a right. Having made an
unjust settlement las being identical
with the United Verde it was neces-
sarily unjust) in one case without
any protest having been made, they
we're at perfect liberty to do so again.
This is apparently the logic of the
above paper. The Perrin compro
mise. being a smaller affair, was prob
ably made as sort of feeler towards
the greater transaction and finding NJ
protest they evidently thought it safe
to 90 ahead with s14, 900 one. 1t wal
probably unintentional on the part o
the paper to prefer this charge, but i
only adds cumulative evidence to thu
fact that the business interests of thu
county are not being looked afte
properly by the board of supervisors.
The additional charge made by on
morning contemporary against tn
board, is as follows:
"For some years, democratic
board of supervisors has given Tn
county hospital contracts, concede'
to be the best contract the county ha
to give out. to a republican, who LA
been by no means the lowest bidde
for that contract. -
The Journal Miner mentioned fey
days since that there we're numerou
other things which the board of super
visors had done, which we're not i
line with good business judgment
and it has remained for one of thei
apologists to bring out one of them
If their defense is kept up by thes
two papers they will probably brin
out numerous acts which do not sho'
up good business Judgment. Wei
may the board exclaim, "good Lord
deliver us from our fool friends"

Ewing Case on Trial.

One of the most important cases
that has come up in the U. 5. court
this term was the case of the L. S. vs..
H. P. Ewing, which was begun this
morning. Mr. Ewing is the agent for
the Wallapai Indians at blackberry,
and the charge against him is that he
rendered false reports and accounts to
the United States government, the
amounts aggregating into the thous-
ands of dollars. Mr.. Ewing is being
represented in the case by Hon. Rob
ert f. Morrison and when the eXami-
nation of jurors was begun this morn
ing it was evident that hard struggle
was on and the case has proven to be
one of special interest during the day.
