 The tax payers of Cochise county are not going to rest under the com promise of the Copper Queen taxes, as made by the board of supervisors some weeks ago, and the grand jury, having investigated the matter, this week authorized O. Gibson, of Will COX, prominent attorney, to apply to the attorney general for authority to sue the corporation in the name of the territory for payment of back taxes. The back taxes to be sued for amount to more than $50, GOO, and are the balance due upon the assessment of 1901, after payment by the Copper Queen company, of more than s2S, GOO under the compromise made recently, after the supreme court had oyer turned the unfortunate ruling of the district court in 1901, whereby the tax shirking corporation escaped with the payment of only 5000 when the county demanded s90,OOO, which would have been little enough

Manager Seiboth, of the Superior mine, with his boss carpenter, Dayton
 w. Ennis, are here directing the
 work of erecting large warehouse and office building for the company al the Florence depot, says the Blade. We learn from MI. Seiboth that tie car load of ore shipped last week to the Val Verde shelter brought 8, ,00O gross. The copper content amounte to B per cent. and the remaining value was represented by gold and silver. Another carload from the same stope will be shipped this week.
 There is enough of this rich ore
 blocked out in the Superior to furnish a carload per day for year to come if Manager Seiboth could find teams enough to haul it to the Florence depot. The value uf this ore can be better appreciated when we state that
 the carload ahove mentioned was not assorted ore. It is representative of the entire ore body blocked out. But one other rich ore body found in the United States excels this one in eX- tent and value and that was the one that made the Independence mine at Cripple Creek, Colorado, famous the world over. The total cost of mining and delivering onto the wagons of the carload of ore above mentioned was S1. 70 per ton. This fact attests the skill and ability of Mir. Seiboth as mine manager. If a property with that class of ore and that character of mine management does not become a good dividend payer nothing in the way of dividends can be expected from other properties in this matchless mining field. It is now certain that the Superior mine will exceed in output of bullion that of the old and famous Silver King, distant about three miles from the Superior The old property yielded about sixteen million, and under the most adverse conditions paid g, 300, 900 in divi- dends. That was twenty years ago when we had no railroad transporta- tion and when the cost of mining

 Prospecting for mines by boat will be sn innovation from the old time way of following a burro laden with grub tools, etc., but that is what a couple of young men at Kingmsn propose to do and which is told of by the Mohave Miner as follows: "Lew Blakely has jus. com pleted boat for the purpose of navigating the Colo rado river on prospecting trip through Black Canyon. He will be accompanied by Will Cook, one of the best prospectors in the county. The gentlemen know a number of places along the river that look good to them, which cannot be reached except by water, and they will put in several months making careful examination of the ground.

 The Boston correspondent of the Michigan Mining Gazette in speak ing of the copper on hand and the price being paid for it says that the report recently sent to the lake-a re- port which has also gained widespread circulation--to the effect that the Caulmet & Hecia people are carrying a surplus stock of copper estimated at from 9, eco, coo to 20,0OO, eco pounds, was wholly unwarranted. The Calumet people are, as a matter of fact, we'll sold up and a moderate de- mand for copper is still in evidence. but it is not what it has been in the recent past. Prices obtained for cop per generally are, he and other authorities as we'll, assert, shade under pnblin quotations and the metal market as a whole is not as strong as these quotations would seem to indicate. As against this opinion, representatives of other lake produc- ing companies assert that they are finding very good market for their copper at current quotations and in several cases they are receiving almost daily hurry up orders for deliveries It is between these two opinions that the real position ot the metal market 1 can probably be arrived at.

 The mining business is the only business in which you can engage without confronting competition. It is the only business in which you will always find a steady demand for your product at cash prices as soon as the product is ready for the market. It is the only business in which you do not have to pander to the public to command patronage. It is the only business that will enable you to amass a great fortune without drawing it from the pockets of others. In this business you simply thrust your hands into the pockets of nature and draw forth her wealth. We refer, of course, to legitimate mining, not to stock dealing schemes based on wild cat mines.
