After Taxes Due.

A demand has been made by the ter ritorial treasurer for the full amount of territorial taxes due from the United Verde Copper company on the assessment of 1902.
 In making their illegal compromise with this company for taxes due for 1902. and in taking about twO-thirds of the amount due, after the court de- ciding that the whole amount should be paid, the supervisors did not take the territorial authorities into their confidence, and the territory was not a party 10 the compromise.
 The county and territory are part ners in the tax business and the terri tory has now repudiated the action of its partner in this transaction, so that if the board should, by any legal tech nicality be made to stand. lavapai county will have to pungIe the full amount of the territory's quota of the SIS. GOO. The attorney general will join the district attorney and his assO- ciates in their efforts to recover the full amount of taxes, according to the decision ofthc cOurt.-Prescott Herald.

Another Railroad For Sonora.

General Louis F. Torres, who is now in the City of Mexico, has given out that Sonora is to have another rail road. He says: "The projected rail- road is to run from Douglas, Arizona, to Tobario a harbOr situated on the Pacific Coast of Mexico about fifty miles south of the mouth of the river. A new port will be created at this point, and it will be d good one, for the reason that ships can find fair haven of safety in the estuary Of To- bario, which is situated between an island of the same name and the coast of Sonora, and is well protected from storms and heavy seas. This railroad will open up marvelously rich min- ing country. The mining firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co. is behind the project, and there will not be much time lost in bringing it to com pletiOn.

Speculation Rampant.

For the size Of the community, it is doubtful if there is another section of the United States where speculation in mining stocks is so rampant, or where so much money is tied up in Mining 2 securities as in the copper country of Michigan, says the Detroit Journal. It is estimated by brokers and bankers in a position to know that more than $12, 600, 900 has been invested in Ari- zona and other western stocks by cop per country people within the last two or three years;- ars; +he money has been contributed b. all classes Of the population.
 Servant girls, laborers in the mines, ministers. professional men-people in every walk of life-hold shares and are waiting for the time when some Of the numerous companies engaged in developing mineral deposits or in searching for profitable veins, shall have been proved successes or failures. Many of them, no doubt, will be doomed to disappointment, for it is conceded that not all of the companies whose prospects have been so highly colored by the promoters will ''strike it rich," but, on the other hand, it is certain that the returns from the suc- cessful properties will more than make up for the entire sum invested.
 The great bulk of the money has been put into companies operating in the Warren district of Arizona. which indications already show will become one Of the greatest copper regions of the world. It is the rich showing that some of the properties have made that has stipulated speculation in the Ari- zona stocks. Company after company have been organized with Michigan money, and for twenty miles southeast Of Bisbee shaft after shaft is going down in the expectation of striking it rich. All these are being sunk on what is believed to he the mineral bearing formation, as marked by a range of small hills, but it is a great question how many of them will tap the ore deposits supposed 10 underlie the various groups of claims

MILLIONS IN
 COPPER MINES.
The Most Profitable Branch of Min
 ing; Also the Most Costly.

Horace J. Stevens, writing of the
 great cost Of opening and equipping a | modern copper mine says. in the Wes-
 tern Mining World: The Lake Superior mines are not the only copper proper ties that are spending money by the millions. In Peru the Cerro de Pasco company, backed by J. B. Haggin, per
 haps the most astute mining operator of the present day, has spent about S6,OOO,OOO, and must pour money into
 the mines and railroad connecting the
 COrdillera plateau with the Pacific sea
 coast, but the reward will be great. for
 the Cerro de Pasco district is another
 Butte, and Haggin's company owns
 the embryo Anaconda md Montana of
 the district. In Northern Mexico the
 Greene Consolidated has laid out over 5000, 600, and could Use a few million
 more to advantage. The great trou-
 ble with the Greene is the limited
 water supply, which can be remedied only by the expenditure Of tremendous sums. A the Inguaran, in Michoacan. Mexico, the Rothschilds have ex- pended fortunes-just how many mil lions nobody seems to know.
 The Calumet & Arizona has spent million or more in opening another Copper Queen at Bisbce, Arizona. The shannon company has put for tune into development and equipment in the Clifton district of Arizona. All the western states of the union there are scattered copper mines l. that have expended from Sl00,O GOO to 1. Sl 100000 each. There are two big | development mines in Queensland, | Australia, one of which has eXpc ndcd | colossal sums in the building of sev- aral hundred miles of railroad.
 Copper mining is an immensely profitable business, in the case of prop erties that unite large ore bodies with good equipment and careful manage nent, but, while it is the most prof ta- 'le branch Of mining, it is also the most costly. It takes money to make honey, and the truth of this old say ng has never been verified more fully ,f copper. -~,;ras

 in Gedney Channel.

New York, June 1.-The Hamburg American line steamer Deutschland, which sailed to-day for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Hamburg, went aground in Gedney Channel, New York lower bay. Tugs have been sent to assist her off.
 The Deutschland grounded during a dense fog at 4:90 this afternoon, shortly after high tide. The next tide is at 3:39 a. m.
 The marine observer at Sandy Hook reports that he was unable to see the Deutschland when she passed out ow- ing to the dense weather. The weather has not been clear enough for observa- tion seaWard at any time to-day nor tonight.
 This was the principal sailing of the Deutschland of the year, and she car ried 75O first and second cabin passen- gers, many of them we'll known. Ev- cry berth was taken. It was the larg- est shipload of the season. She also carried several hundred steerage pas sengers, and in addition has in her strong room $4,00O,000 in gold.
 Among the passengers aboard the big steamer are Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, Felix Adler, Arture de Brigard, consul general of Colombia at New York; Count and Countess Del Gerhardesa, General Morton and daughters, Rafel Monteo, Colonel Nicholas Perez-Stable, secretary of the Cuban legation in Lon don; Edouard de Reszke, Mime.

STILL GAINING.
Philadelphia Textile Strikers Get Five More Mills

Philadelphia, June 4.-Five additional textile establishments conceded the fif- ty-five-hour work to their employees to- day, making more than sixty firms that have given the workers the shorter week since the movement was inaugu- rated. Two of the stablishments-one dyeing and finishing works and the other a spinning mill-agreed to pay their employees at the rate of sixty hours a week for fifty-five hours work. A curtain mill, ribbon mill and glazed thread mill were the other three to grant the strikers demands. Among the workers that quit to-day and join ed the strikers for the shorter week were a large number of tape weavers, who are the first in this branch of the textile industry to join in the struggle.
 The leaders in the strike claim that some manufacturers are violating the law by making children work under conditions that are prohibited by the law of the state. They hope that pub Iicity of the alleged violations will so rouse public sentiment that the manu- facturers will be forced to at least ar bitrate the differences existing between the workers and themselves.

fA Kansas City.
 Kansas City, June 4.-With the rapid fall Of the rivers business is resuming its normal conditions. The waterworks are pumping black water from the Kansas river, not fit to drink, and the danger from fire is over. The fire un- derwriters met to-day and issued a statement expressing satisfaction with the condition. Electric street car lines are in operation. The telephone and telegraph connection will be establish ed between the two Kansas cities to- morrow.
 At the stock yards 2,5OG hogs and 300 cattle were drowned. A force of men began to-day to remove the carcasses where they were lodged in the drift.
 In the wholesale and packing house districts of the west bottoms the scene is even more depressing than yesterday. The water is not so swift, but addition al buildings have fallen and the lower ing of the flood has exposed heaps of ruin. s''
 Reports that the Burlington bridge approaches are washed away are un- true. The bridge and trestIes are unin- jured, the embankment being washed out only in one place one hundred yards wide. Most of the missing peo- pie have been heard from, and it is thought the list of dead will not be over eight. ' @

DROWNED IN LAKE WHITNEY
EARL P. GIBBONS LOST AND
 CHARLES FISHER SAVED.

by Rocking the Boat-Fishor Boy Clung to Overturned Craft and Was
 Resoued-Gibbons' Body Not Yet
 Found.
 Earl P. Gibbons, the fifteen-year-old son of Dr. Gibbons, proprietor of the Gibbons house at 1S1 Meadow street. was drowned at Lake Whitney at 7:S0 o'clock last evening. and his twelve year-old companion, had very narrow escape from drowning. Mrs. Gibbons, mother os the drowned boy, is visiting in New York. and before she went she gave him some pocket money. Last ev- ening Earl went to his father and ask ed permission to go to the home of a schoolHate and play until 8:30. To this his father consented, but told him that he must be sure and return at that time. Instead of going to visit the boy he intended he got Charles Fisher of Washington avenue. another boy who. attended school with him. to go out canoeing on Lake Whitney. The two boys went to the lake and hired canoe OI NI-s IhCy bOll 5oL lltO the boat and the Gibbons boy padded out to the center of the lake directly in front of the boattouse. When the boat reached the center a cry was heard and the boat was seen to capsize, both occu- pants being thrown into the water. The boat tender Immediately jumped into a boat and rowed out to the rescue. When he got there the Gibbons boys compan- ion was found sitting on the bottom of the uDturned canoe but the Gibbons boy was nowhere in sight. A diligent search os many hours failed to reveal any signs of him, and at an early hour this morning searchers gave up the hunt Fastened in the bottom of the upturned canoe was found coat which the Gibbons boys family positively identify as belonging to Earl. A tel epkone message to Dr: Gibbons notified him os the catastrophe and he imme- diately tried to reach his wife in New York by telephone. This he had been unable to do uD to an early hour. this morning.
 It was stated that the boys became daring after they had been in the boat Ia while and rocked the frail boat so that 1t capsized.
