the Course of a Year.
The total of GA meteorites was
known up to 1903, of which there were
1872 irons and only IA stones in the
western hemisphere, and 299 stones
au, only ~ irons IN the eastern hemi
sphere. The records show only t1e
fall of $50 of these meteorites, dating
bacL so the fifteenth century. Prof.
Eerwerth of Vienna, despite this small
humher of known specimens, calcu.
Iates that 900 meteorites mast fall to
he earth each year, not counting
shooting stars that disappear in thu
atmosphere, and thai 50 of these 81
least should come under observation
Prof. Bcrwerth finds that meteori,cS
aave been chiefly recorded in civilized
centuries, but that in many instances
they are more numerous in thir set

The reports which have been iu cir culatioa for some time past relative to a new railroad for Grant county. aud mention Of which has been made from time to time in The Independent, give every prospect of being verified. 4 corps O. engineers are now making the final survey. and last week We're camped in the vicinity Of Apache Tejo. II is stated upon the best of authority tha: the ne@ line, which is a Santa Fe enterprise, will extend from Carlsbad to Benson, making a cut of which will shorten the distance to the Pacific coast several hundred miles and give the Santa Fe a shorter route than the Rock Island IL will enter C rant county Q the sOutheas tern cor her. crossing the Mimbres river iu the vicinity of Dwyer and extending westward through Whitewater, th, Burro mountains and the Gila valley 10 a point near Duncan on the Arizons line. The course through Gran county is nearly due eas; and west The route now selected is an excep- tionally advantageous one, avoiding steep grades and making the cost Of construction the minimum. It will be of immense advantage to Grant county, furnishing new eastern and western outlets, and will also provide railroad facilities for the Burro mountain min ing district and the fertile Mimbres and Gila river vallies. It is said that the work of construction will be be- gun at both the Carlsbad and Benson ends a. soon as the present survey is completed, which will be some time this spring.
 A mining deal has just been closed in this city during the past week, which is one of the largest for some time. The mining properties which have been purchased lie in the Burro mountain district and consist of a vast acreage in mining ground in that dis district, as well as some of the best copper properties in the southwest. The company which made the pur- chase has been incorporated as the Burro Mountain Copper company and is backed by Nathan F. Leopold and Alfred C. Schwab, of Chicago, both millionaires, and Theodore w. Carter, prominent mining man Of Silver City. The company has secured nearly all the copper properties in this district, which contains quite number of good mines and prospects, and has also lease on the Southwest ern Copper company's group Of mines, from which millions Of dollars worth of high grade copper ore has been taken out and was being taken out up to the time of the deal, at a handsome profit by Mr. Carter. on a lease.- Sentinel.

DELINQUENT TAXES.
Mode of Procedure Relative to Their
 Collection.

Just at the present time the provisions of the delinquent tax law are of special interest to many, and particularly those who are unfortunate enough to be represented on the de- iuqueut list. The law was approved March l9, 1903, and provides as follows:
 Section S0-Al. real estate upon which the taxes remain unpaid on the second Monday in December, annually shall be deemed delinquent and the tax collector shall proceed to enforce the lien of the territory thereon, a. required by this chapter.
 section SI Provides that the tax collector shall levy upon, seize and di-traiu personal property and sell the same for the tax due thereon.
 From Section 90: All taXes here after. after March lo 1903, becoming delinquent shall bear one per cent. in tercst per month from the time they become delinquent until paid, and shall also be subject 10 the same fees, and commission charged as in this chapter provided for taxes now delin- qHent. In computing interest under this section a fraction of month shall bc regarded as whole month.
 Section 93 Allows four per cent. Of the original lax for collection. The clerk Q. tue board of supervisors shall receive 9 cents per tract, city or town lot on such lots, etc., from 1888 to 1902 inclusive and on 1908 and subsequent years the sum of l5 cents per tract, city or town lot. This is the clerks fee for tran-cribing the assessment into the "back tax book
 sixty days after the second Monday in December, 1903, the tax collector shall commence suit to collect such tax, interest, costs and penalties in- cludinE - per cent of the tax added as costs for attorneys fees for bringing the suit on all delinquent property from the year lSo8 to and including the year 1908

4 JuStifiabIe Killing.

Last week Micheal O'Mara, the well known miner who lately sold his in forests in the "Old Soldier" mine to the Chicago and Patagonia Copper X Gold Mining company, was at Har- shaw settling some accounts he was owing in that place. When he re- tu ned Co the camp he was followed by three men who supposed that he car rici a large sum Of money with him and intended robbing the old man. They rode up to his camp shortly after he had arrived there and re- luc-t,d shelter for the night. He was ~a,p,cjou~ ot the men, feeling that their presenc, boded no good, but finally decided to allow them to sleep in a nearby cabin over night. Early tha next morning he was aroused by hearing foot steps outside Of his tent and securing his rifle went to see what was the matter. One Of the men was standing nearby with re- vo,cer iu his hands. This alarmed O'Maya who feared that the man meant 10 rob him and he endeaVored to persuade the man, Jose Peralta. to put his gun in his pocket. This Peralta refused to do and raised his gun as if to shoot. O'Mara now saw that he had Co shoot or be shot; SO he quickly took aim at the man and fired, the shot penetrating Peralta's neck, kill ing him instantly. O'Nlnra sent word Of the killing to the authorities and
 gave himself up. The other two men left the camp as soon as the shooting occurred but were later captured an arrested. At the coroner's inquest held Wednesday Mir. O'Mara was com pleteiy eNouerated for the shooting, it being conclusively proven that it was in self-de fense. The men were also turned loose. Mr. O'Mara has re- turned to the mine and work is pro
 grsssing the same as usual-Oasis.

Gov. BrOdie is for Prosperity at All
 Times.

There exists no doubt that Gov ernor Brodie meant just what he said when he stated that anybody who op- poses an instructed delegation is against President Roosevelt"
 He was approached by 9 reporter who called his attention to the inter- view quoted above, and asked him to give definite expression 10 his views. In reply the governor dictated the following:
 ''I hold that the republicans Of Ari- zOna must express the appreciation Of the people of this territory for the manner in which President Roosevelt has assisted them in every desire they have expressed since he became presi- dent Of the United States. He has listened to our wants as no president ever did, and considering only the gratitude we owe him as a people. l cannot understand why there should be opposition to pledging our strength to him.
 "I believe that we should stand com m;tted for him, for this will be the only opportunity that will come for Us to raise our voice in his behllf.
 The republicans Of Arizona are for Colonel Roosevelt, and the Tucson convention will afford them their only opportunity to say so.
 "There the party leaders will gather to express the will Of the republicans of the territory, and l look to see the resolutions adopted at that convention framed in such language that no one will mistake or misunderstand the sentiment Of the republicans of this territory.
 Colonel Roosevelt will be nominated before Arizona shall be reached in the call of states and terri tories, and We will not have an opportunity to ex- press our feelings there; our only op- portunity will be at the Tucson con- vention, and we will be justly charged with ingratitude 1T We so far forget our obligations to Colonel Roosevelt as to fail to express our thanks for his help in bringing about the construction of the Torto dam and lending his assist ance in many other matters.
 "Maricopa county, 1 feel certain, will not fail to insist upon an in- structed delegation for Colonel Roose- welt, for here the help given by him has been felt the most perhaps, al though the whole territory will re- ceive the benefits Of the Tonto dam.
 1t would be grave mist ike should the Arizona republicans fail U en- uorse Colonel Roosevelt, and I have too much confidence in them to give moments consideration 10 such a sug- cestion."
