WILL RUSH WORK ON NORTH
 VERDE PROPERTY.
(From Fridays DailY.l

James Movies, of the North Verde Copper company, was in Prescott yes- terday, and placed an order with Brown Brothers for a 70-horse power boiler and a 40-horse power steam hoist. which as soon as possible is to be in stalled on the property in which he is interested.
 This group of claims lies adjoining the United Verde to the north, and has been exploited to an extent to jus tify the general belief that it will prove of great value. Several months ago eastern stockholders of the company visited the property, and at that time it was made public that the intention of the company was to add to the equipment and push further develop ment work.
 A tunnel measuring 23O feet in length, with a 43 foot winze, and a shaft about S5 feet in depth indicates what work has already been done on this group. Six full claims make up the company's holdings, and barring some unforeseen delay or accident, the property will be heard from as a va luable mine before many months have passed.
 Superintendent Movies is one of the well known practical men of the Je- rome district, and it is stated will give his entire attention in the future to the development of the North Verde property. He announces that all pre- parations have been completed for providing the funds needed to push this work, and that there will be no delay in resuming opera tiOns.

EQUALIZERS MAKE SATISFAC-
 TORY PROGRESS.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Yesterdays session of the board of equalization was uneventful in so far as visiting taxpayers were concerned, but steady grind over the list of those cited kept the members busy from the early morning until adjournment at o'clock. Several local merchants and representatives of companies at tended the session to settle their re- speetive increases, and each cited as- sessment was carefully adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned.
 One company doing business in town was raised s15,OOO, adding $500 to the tax fund, and various smaller owners made appearance. In no case was there the least friction, and such increases as were decided upon were apparently satisfactory to those who had been cited
 A pile of letters, chiefly from cattle men, who explained they could not spare time to appear in person were presented to the board by Clerk Robin son, and the tax assessments referred to were carefully gone over and set tied. The clerk of the board will notify these taxpayers of the final ae- tion of the board of equalization.
 In a few instances attorneys ap- peared for their clients, who had mo- tiied them to attend to this business, and throughout the day excellent pro- gress was made in clearing up the roll.
 Unless something comes up to inter fere with the attendance of those who are to appear in the interest of the United Verde Copper Company, this feature of the tax assessment for the year will be heard at today's meeting. Will L. Clark is expect ed to be present, also the attorneys for the company.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR.
'Hassayampa Day'' Will Bring To-
 gether the Pioneers.

Premium lists have been prepared and the superintendents appointed for sev- eral of the departments and the other lists will be completed soon. The pre- paratiOn of a catalogue that will cover all the different lines and give the ne- eossary detailed information requires quite lot of work especially as there is not preceding one for reference. How ever, when it is printed it will be a good advertisement medium, and par ties wishing space would do well to have space reserved for them.
 The speed department is in charge of W. N. Tiffany, who is also secretary of the Fair Association, and all inquiries as to the races should be addressed to him. There will be three harness and one running race each afternoon dur ing the fair, and the association will have matinees all during the season.
 The poultry and pigeon department will doubtless be one of the most com plete exhibits, and c. B. Wood, Phoenix, has been made the superintendent of this department. The premium list has been made out and covers all the standard breeds of fowls and pigeons. A list will be mailed to anyone who de- sires to make an entry, and will make a request for the list
 Hassayampa Day" will bring to- gether all of the old residents, and it ought to be worth while to see them. To make it interesting for them, the management have set aside one day for their entertainment, and several pre- miums will be offered, such as one for the married couple who have been in the territory longest, the couple who married first in the territory, and have resided here ever since, the oldest na- '. tive son and daughter, the oldest mar ried couple.
 Watson Piekrell of Tempe has been appointed superintendent of the cattle department and as he has had much ex- perienee in the show cattle business, can conduct this department as it should be. The premium list in this department has been completed, and will be mailed upon application.

WANT COUNTY DONATION.
o'Neil Monument Commission in Con
 ference with Supervisors.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Messrs. Robert E. Morrison, Morris Goldwater, NJ. J. Hickey and E. w.. Wells, members of the Buckley O'Neil Monument Commission, late yesterday afternoon waited upon the three mem- bers of the board of supervisors to re- quest county donation toward the mon ument fund. Informally they laid their position before the board, point ing out the importance of Yavapai county making a substantial donation to the fund. The matter of a site on the Plaza having already been agreed upon, the visitors devoted their time to urging their claims for assistance from the county if it can be found pos sible to provide a reasonable donation.
 After hearing all that was said, the board agreed to postpone action on this matter until tomorrow, when the commission will present a set of re- solutions embodying their request and their reasons for urging it.
 Today being Labor Day and legal holiday in Arizona, the supervisors will not go into session. The mem- bers will meet as board of equaliza- tion tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, when the balance of the work yet un- finished will be taken up. Barring delay in the appearance of one or two belated taxpayers who have been cited to ap- pear, the tax roll is nearly all checked and completed so far as the board has to do.

THE SPRAGUE ESTATE.
The Part a Prescott Man Has In It.

If satisfactory settlement is made in the estate of William Sprague, who died the owner of valuable property in Marietta, Ohio, c. T. Truex of Prescott, will receive between S10,00O and $12,000 as his share of the estate.
 There are numerous heirs among which the estate, which is said to be valued at $5,OOO,OO0, must be divided, and attorneys are now at work on the matter in an endeavor to reach a settlement. William Sprague owned property in Marietta when t hat place was little more than a village His property happened to be in the heart of the city, and was rented by the gov ernment under a ninety-nine year lease. This lease ran out about ten or twelve years ago, but the property has been occupied just the same. For some time no effort was made to set tie the estate, but now well known attorneys have taken the matter up and have communicated with the diff ferent heirs of the late MT. Sprague that they are confident that they can effect a settlement.

honorable notice. Sinclair once more took the play, offering to second the motion made by Sattes, and Smith laughed at him, asking.when he had heard of a chairman being competent to act in this capacity. Sinclair then offered Smith the temporary chair manship, but the willy statesman po- litely declined the honor. A moment later Supervisor Smith said:
 "For the purpose of getting this deal on record, I wish to second the vote of Member Sattes, but this IS my purpose solely"
 Then another halt of few minutes kept all waiting. Finally after Smith had requested that the vote be boiled by the clerk, the roll was called. Sattes and Sinclair voted "aye" (meaning to leave the assessment as it was turned in); Smith voted "nay," :" declaring he had been elected for four years, and might be heard from some other time. An awkward silence fol lowed the announcement of the vote. Attorney Pattee was first to say any thing. and his remark was in effect that he had been advised of how the vote would go several days ago, so was not at all surprised.
 Supervisor Smith took turn i'm mediately after by asking Sattes why the United Verde had been cited, and why he voted to raise everyone but the United Verde and one or two other assessments. This practically ended the United Verde session, Smith de- claring himself as trying to do business with a man like his honorable colleague Mir. Sattes, and comparing it to trying to settle county matters with lot of schoolboys.
 In a few words, the entire session was practically devoted to talk that ended in no good to the county, the assessment of the United Verde re- maining just as Assessor Sullivan turn ed it in on the roll.
