A COURT IN CONTEMPT.

The supreme court of Missouri is
evidently in contempt, just now, OF
the people of that state. James Shep-
ard, editor of the Warrensburg Sen
tinel, of that state, took occasion to
criticise a decision rendered by that
court and was fined $500 for contempt.
Just as soon as the citizens of the
town learned that he had been fined
some of the leading men there tele-
graphed him to draw on them for the
amount. On his return home the same
men formed into a committee and
heading a big crowd of citizens, met
Shepard at the depot as he came in
from the state capital, cheered him
to the echo and escorted him to his
home.
Col. Charles II. Zoll, a member of
Governor Dockery's staff, in Sedalia,
Missouri, circulated a petition and in
short time had raised sufficient
money to pay the fine and costs i'm
posed upon John j. Condiff, editor of
the Sedalia Capital, by the supreme
court for criticism of the courts de-
cision.
From these actions it would seem
that the people of Missouri have
greater contempt for their supreme
court than they have for the editors
who criticise it.

President Mitchell remarked in a
recent speech delivered in Pennsyl-
vania that unionIsm did not mean So
cialism. If he thought it did he
would denounce unionism; that he
was an American, and socialism was
un-American. He also stated there
were mine owners who thought they
owned the men that worked for them,
and that there were men who worked
in mines who thought they owned the
mines Both were wrong. If there
were more men advocating uDionism
that held the same view it would be
better for all concerned. Public SEN
timent will be with labor organiZa-
tions when they are right-but not
otherwise. Elk.

HIGH HANDED PROCEEDINGS.

The announcement made exclusively
in the Journal Miner last evening, of
the action of the board of supervisors
in going behind and overriding a de-
cision of the court, and presenting
the United Verde Copper company
with SD, 600 of the county's money
came as a complete surprise to the
community The statement could
scarcely be believed by our citizens
and only one man has thus far been
found to endorse the action of the
board. He is not a tax payer so it
does not affect him.
The high handed action of the board
was surprising from the fact that it
had refused to lower the assessment
year ago, had taken it to the courts
and had won its suit, and in the al
sence from town of the district at
torney, star chamber session of the
board is held, and the action of the
court is upset, and financial bari
kari is committed on the tax payers
of the county.
If the board of supervisors have the
authority vested in them to perpetrate
such an outrageous indignity on the
Interests of the county. they are pos
sessed of as great powers as that as
sumed by the late king of Ser0ia, and
the office of assessor should be abol-
ished and let the autocrats of the
) board have full and undisputed sway
in financial matters.
Ii, under the law. it is found that
Yavapai county is not little absolute
monarchy, governed by trio of auto
Gratis steps should at once be taken to
undo their high handed proceedings
even to the bringing of suits to re
cover from them and their bondsmen,
the SD, 600 which has been so gener-
ously donated to the wealthiest cor
poration in the territory.
If the authroity of three men. elect
ed to represent the entire county is
absolute, and their ipse dixit Is to
take the place of judgments of the
courts. then truly are the people of
this county in deplorable condition
so far as their business interests are
concerned, and particularly so when
they yield to the domination of the
hireling of wealthy corporation "a
they have done in this instance A.
a business paralyZer and as bar to
progress there is nothing to compare
with high taxes, and with an increas-
ing tax roll, from the listing of small
tax payers, this county lhas been hav-
ing an increase of its tax rate Not
being able to deplete the treasury
rapidly enough by building rock mon
strosities in the plaza, as well as other
extravagant expenditures against
which protests are unavailing. the
board caps the climax by looping off
this 81, 900 slice from last years
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1903-07-29

The more the action of the board of
supervisors is considered, in effecting
a settlement with the United Verde
Copper company, the more outrageous
it seems, is the universally expressed
opinion of our citizens. The manner
in which the action was taken is as
reprehensible as the action itself Ii
was essentially a dark lantern pro-
ceeding, accomplished clandestinely
and under cover of secrecy and decep-
tion. In fact, it could not have been
done any other way. From first to
last, it has never been intimated to
the district attorney who is supposed
to be the legal advisor of the board
10y any member of the board that such
action or any action of that nature
was contemplated. The taxpayers and
the general public were similarly ig-
nored. 1t was in the face of the fact
that the United Verde had been worst
ed in its appeal TO the court. and that
the county had the advantage from
any standpoint. That their action.
at least so far as it concerns the taxes
of 1922, was utterly void and illegal,
and without a semblance of authority
or right, whatever else may be said
regarding it, seems to be the gen.
eral opinion of citizens, as we'll as
of attorneYs.

THE ORC GRANDE
EXPLORATION
And DEVELOPMENT Co.
= Make Big Strike.
Property Under Bond by Them
Near WiCkenburg Has Seven
Foot Ledge.

The editor of the Wickenburg News
Herald visited the property recently
bonded from Sam Powell, by the Orc
Grande Exploration and Development
company, and which is being operated
under the superintendency of G. H.
Akers and has the following to say
of it:
The property is located on the
Hassayampa river, just across from
the White Gold Mining company's
property. The Orc Grande Explora-
ton and Development company re-
Gently bonded this property from Sam
Powell, and put a force of men to
work to develop it. They have driven
tunnel ninety feet from the river
and have cut one of the biggest quartz
lodges that it is common to see, the
ledge being seven and one half feet in
perpendicular depth, but as the ledge
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1903-07-29

is on a slant of about As degrees, the
tunnel runs through ledge matter
farther than that. A ledge of this
size might not mean so much if it
carried no value. IA fair sample taken
from all parts of the ledge and aver
aged up, gave an assay value of nearly
s. per ton in gold. Other assays
have shown bigger values, and there is
no doubt but that when water level is
reached there will be big increase in
the values.
The company has let contract to
E. r. Hall, prominent young min
ing contractor of the district, to sink
a Wine on the ledge down to water
level. A good force will be put on
and the work rushed as rapidly as pos
sible. Local mining men are all Of
the same opinion, that this will GER
tainly prove to be one of the biggest
mines in these parts.
Besides gold the ore from this strike
carries silver, lead, copper and iron
in small quantities. This quartz is
of honey comb nature and is ex-
tremely easy to work. There is an
abundance of water at the mine and
all the conditions for economical
mining and milling are present. Ma
ture seems to have exerted herself in
this particular instance to fix every
thing about right.
Local opinion is not all there is to
base the fact that this is good min
ing property on, but all the mining
men who have visited that locality say
that there is certainly a favorable
locality for some big mines. We con
graduate the companies operating in
that vicinity upon their wise judg
ment and good fortune. We confident.
ly expect to hear good news from
these "diggings" in the near future.

UNSKILLFUl EVASION.

One of the most laborious efforts to
say nothing, appeared in the "hurl-
ed last evening. 1t took about three
quarters of a column of space to ac-
complish the feat. Real type was used
whereas a blank. covering the same
amount of space would have been
much more emphatic, intelligent and
convincing. The subject under evas-
ion was the so called compromise of
the United Verde company's taxes by
the board of supervisors. The writer
of the article never got within hailing
distance of the subject he was evad-
ing, except once and that was in the
following sentence: 1.-The Journal
Miner came out with a great sensa-
tional article on the subject. - The
fearless 20 and eloquent % exponent
of right and justice % expressed more
truth in that sentence than he has ut
tered in any six months of his life.
While the article was confined to a
plain statement of facts it did create
a sensation and no mistake, in the
community as people we're not expect
ing and were not prepared to receive
the information it contained.
One excuse given for devoting over
half column in dancing around the
subject at a respectful distance was
that District Attorney Els. Clark was
out of town. This was a mere subter-
fuge, as it is not true. Mr.. Clark was
out of town when that famous cOmpro-
mise was entered into. advantage hav.
ing been apparently taken of his alb
sence to push it through but he was
not out of town at any period since
the hurled learned of it through
the Journal Miner.
The following are few of the liter
airy gems of nothingness which the ar
ticle contained:
"We have been looking into the
matter, but CLEANED no Information.
"By settling with the United Verde
litigation is avoided and the treasury
is filled with coin.
Eve do not believe in pursuing {
policy that would tend to throttle the
mining industry"
"As soon as we can learn the
grounds upon which the compromise
was made, we will give the facts to the
people,"
"Wbile some may think differently
the county would have had suit OIL
its hands had not the compromise
been made"
As this question originated a veal
ago if will be safe to say that if the
hurled pursues its energetic efforts
of looking into the natter that
within the next five or six years il
vii be able to ''glean some lnforma
ton" During that period it should
be able to 'glean some information
that the litigation which it affects tc
dread, has already come off, and that
the county won its suit, and no appeal
or notice of appeal has been taken. Il
probably will not learn. from an in.
nate desire not TO do so, that a fail
taxation of mining property will
never throttle the mining industry.

teams.
Fred Lemerise, son Of Mr. and Mrs
John Lemerise, was drowned Monday
while at work at Shelburne Farms.
He was driving a double team and
while backing to the dock for coal ac-
cidentally went too far and the wagon
and horses went into the lake, carry
ing him With them. Two other team
sters we're on the dock, but they we're
powerless to aid Lemerise, and he, to-
gether with the horses, was drowned.
The water is about Is feet deep at that
point and the body was soon recovered
and taken to his home in Shelburne.
