A PROPOSED CHANGE
Semi-AnnuaI Tax Collections Con-
 sidered a Wise Measure

The recommendation of the gov ernor as to a semi-annual tax is a very wise suggestion. There are a good many good reasons for such a law. When the taxes are paid all at once it congests our money and makes hard times for a season. Whereas if we had two tax paying seasons this congestion and hard times would not result. It is much easier to pay half a years tax than it is to pay whole years tax. By all means let us have this wise law enacted. It would be big feather in the cap of the twentythird to enact this law. It would be popu- lar with all classes.
 There should be no opposition to a measure so manifestly just and in the interest of good government. The delinquent tax list would be greatly reduced if we had such a law. A great many people would succeed in saving enough money if they had only half as much to save at a time as they do, who are today on our delinquent lists. It is big step in the right direction and should be taken by this legislature.
 Several years ago bill was passed making the payment of taxes payable semi annually. The bill was drawn so that 1t would ap- ply only to counties having cer tain population, which made it in- applicable to any county except Maricopa. It was introduced and passed by Hon. Aaron Goldberg when he was a member of the legis- lature. It was difficult matter to pass it at the time for the reason that tho minority was lined up against it. Even when it was passed in it's modified form so that it could not apply to any county except Maricopa, the governor vetoed it because he did not approve of the principle. But now that the gov ernor is in favor of it, it ought to be easily passed.-Gazette.

GOOD PRODUCERS
Remarkable History of Some of
 the Famous Mines

The Bonanza mine in eastern Oregon was offered for $500 in 1896 with no takers. It is now produc- ing $1 100000 a year.
 The Copper Queen was once bet against $50 on foot race. It is now paying millions every year.
 Comstock sold one-quarter inter- est in his mine for $6,OOO The mine produced afterward $60,OO0,- 900, and shares sold for $1 1875 each.
 United Verde sold for 50 cents a share and is now paying S,7O0 per cent dividends at that price. The mine went begging for $3O,O0O if teen years ago, until it was pur- chased by Senator Clark, who re- gently refused a $1OO,OOO,O00 offer for it by Belgian syndicate.
 Gold Coin stock sold at 1 cent per share and went begging. It is worth $5.50 per share and little to be had. It has paid 4,SOO per cent on first cost. One hundred dollars invested in 1896 is now worth $55,- GOO, and has paid $11, 100000 in dividends
 The Granite Mountain (Mon- tana) produced $13,OOO,OOO. the stock selling from 10 cents per share inside of two years, and paying 50 per cent in dividends each month
 The Witwatersrand, in South Africa, produced in the first year (1SS7) only $405, ,OO0, but in 1895 it had increased to $40,O00,OOO, while the output for the last ten years exceeds $25O,OOO,OOO. For 1898 it was $75,OOO,OOO, placing it in the lead among gold producing countries.
 The Comstoek lode of of Virginia City, Nevada, has produced in gold and silver the enormous sum of $32, 100000. Most of this ore yield ed but $S per ton in gold
 The Homestake in South Dakota, on $3 ore, has paid $3,333 in divi- dends every day it has run for the past ten years -Ex.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES
Interesting Items Purloined From
 Numerous Exchanges


 Arizona needs bullion tax. Will the twenty-third give it to her?- Gazette.
 The application to release Dr. Johnson, charged with murder as a result of his treatment of patients at the county hospital, on his own recognizance, has been denied by Judge Doan, and the bond of $3,- GOO ordered continued Bisbee Miner.
 Judge James H. Wright, an old resident of Yavapai county, died in Prescott Tuesday of last week. He was appointed chief justice of Ari- zona by President Cleveland in 1887, and served four years. He was 66 years of age at the time of his death.
 Sol Luna. one of the big sheep owners of northern Arizona, made shipment of fiftyfve carloads of mutton from Navajo last week to market. These sheep had been grazing in Navajo county for some time past and were in fine condi- tion.-Stockman.
 Some country merchants make a terrible howl about people patro- nising mail order houses. Yet these same fellows often send to city prin- ters for work which their home prin- ting office can furnish as cheap and good, and they feel that they have done nothing wrong. The mer- chants that howl about the mail order business should never turn down a home institution. It doesn't look just right.
 As a result of his thrice winning the bank roll of the roulette wheel ;n the Palace saloon at McCabe, Arizona, and winning 5000 Jan. 19, Hank Bevering will have his right arm amputated at the shoul- der. Bevering had his right ht-aaffna -aaffna shattered by a bullet from a re- volver in the hands of Jas. Rybon, Thursday morning about 4 o'clock. Rybon is proprietor of the Palace, and they quarreled over the game. Rybon has been arrested and placed under $500 bonds.
 The wonderful success of the Tombstone Consolidated Mining company in rehabiltating in so short a time the famous old mines of Tombstone can be appreciated when it is stated that the company is handling 3,200,O0O gallons of water every 24 hours, and now as a result of it's success, has drifting started on the 800 foot level which is 200 feet below the original water level. It is expected that large quantities of ore will be encountered before this drifting extends very far.
 A fact not generally known to the citizens of this territory is that the law governing the management of the Benson Industrial school provides that the counties from where the boys are sent are re- quired to pay one-half of the ex- pense of their keeping and care. Bills rendered to Yavapai county for such service have been at the rate of 623 cents per day, which would indicate that the total cost of running the institution is at the rate ot $l.25 per day per boy Prescott Journal-Miner.
 Complaint is being made that there is a good deal of counterfeit money in circulation in Phoenix It is in the denominations of dol lars, halves and quarters of silver. Some of it is very good, but much of it is not.

Kansas City, Aug. al. r. Elliott,
night clerk at the st. George hotel, has
disappeared and evidently took with
him $s5 belonging to Roy Snow, of
Lebanon, Kan, and $50 belonging to
o. K. Compton, of Everton, Mo. Both
are stockmen and had deposited the

proprietor of the hotel, he nearly al
ways registered under another name

MILLS ARE PUSHED.
To Fill Orders for Rails and Building
Material.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 24-The Iron
Trade Review says:
Although the volume of new business
entered during the past week has not
been as large as in some previous weeks,
conditions continue sound and mills are
taxed to their utmost capacity, espec-
tally on building materials and rails.
The most interesting development of
the pig iron market was the holding of
informal conferences by representatives
of the Bessemer association with United
States steel corporation officials con-
corning the purchase of Bessemer iron
for September delivery. The corpora
ton is now using its surplus iron at
the rate of 10000 tons per day and Off
Gals agree that it will soon be neces-
sary to make purchase. 1t is under
stood that there is slight difference of
opinion on the part of corporation Off
Gals and makers of Bessemer as to the
price which should be paid, but it is not
thought that there will be any serious
difficulty in reaching an agreement
and it is probable that the purchase Of
about 10000 tons will be announced be-
fore the first of September. The mar
ket for BeSsemer and Basic is showing
greater strength which sellers believe
will be maintained even if the corpora
ton does not make the expected pur-
chase. Basic is especially strong as in

ton to the orders placed last week for
a large car ferry and two large steel

LOAN MEN IN COURTS.
Kansas Justice Doing Good Business
in Garnishees.

Kansas City, Aug. PAD. D. Drake,
one of the 10 per cent a month money
lenders, driven out of business in this
city, is filing garnishee proceedings in
township justice courts in Wyandotte
county, Kan. In one of these little
courts, outside the city. quite an extern
sive business in attaching wages of en-
ployes of railroads is being developed.
This fact was the indirect cause of a
fight last Thursday between ]. S. Glib
son, county attorney of Wyandotte
county and attorney for the Missouri
Pacific railroad. and E. M. Stockton,
justice of the peace of Quindaro town
ship.
C. F. Hutchings, general attorney for
the Kansas City Western Railway COM
pany, formerly the Leavenworth line,
was served yesterday with a garnishee
summons from Justice Stockton's court,
stating that D. D. Drake had made an
affidavit that J. M. Sessions, an inspec-
tor for the railroad company, was IN
debted to him to the extent of $47.65,
and attaching money held by the COM
pany for Sessions to that amount.
This is only one of many such pro-
ceedings which have been brought
against employees of the Leavenworth
line" said Mr.. Hutchings. Some one
has a claim against an employe and as
signs it to Drake. 1 had a case a short
time ago of a man who was being
bounded to death by one OF these men.
This man had family to support and
had been working for the company only
a short time when a garnishee summons
was served. There is a rule among rail-
roads that when an employer has been
garnisheed twice he is discharged. This
fact is used by the money lenders as a
club over their victims. This man APP
pealed to me and said that he had paid
the lender much more than was due. I
notified the 10 per cent month man
that he would have to let up on the en-
ploye or get it in the neck"
In the last few months ]. S. Gibson, as
attorney for the Missouri Pacific, has
been served with about 80 garniShee
summons from Justice Stockton's court,
directed against employees of the rail-
road company. The affidayits were made
by &C. p Rea,'' to whom the claims
were assigned. 1t is said that many of
these suits were settled by the en-
ployes concerned, who, being unable to
personally defend themselves and keep
at work were willing to pay the costs.
T. S. Gibson, as county attorney. last
week threatened to bring criminal pro-
ceedings against Justice Stockton as a
result of an attachment upon house
hold goods for a SO judgment rendered
against a farmer living west of Kansas
City. Kan. This case had no connection
with the Missouri Pacific garnishee pro-
ceedings but the feeling between the
attorney and the justice resulted in a
fight in which Mr.. Gibson was bruised
about the face

TRUST IS ACCUSED.
Two Brooklyn Theaters Are Prevented
From Opening.

New York Aug. 24.-Policemen, under
instructions from Health Commissioners
Darlington prevented the opening of
two Brooklyn theaters just when their
patrons We're awaiting admission. AS
result. there was much excitement.
The police had difficulty in dispensing
the crowds.
The playhouses were Payton's Lee
Avenue theater and the Unique on
Grand street. Payton was permitted to
give a performance in the evening, but
the Unique was kept closed under
guard.
More than 1000 persons, mainly wo-
men and children, were at Payton's in
the afternoon awaiting the opening of
the doors for the first performance of
the season, when Capt. Halihan and
policemen appeared. The captain in
formed Mr.. Payton that he could not
open until the health departments in
spector had certified that ali the altera-
tons demanded had been properly
made.
The failure to place a skylight in po-
sition over the stage was the direct
cause of this action.
Not understanding the reason for
the appearance of the police, many
women and children became excited,
and it looked for a while as though
somebody might be hurt
Accused the Trust.
Corse Payton became excited, too.
He said Commissioner Darlington had
given him until today to complete the
work He spoke his mind freely and
not in an undertone. He addressed his
patrons with feeling, and invited the
captain to arrest him.
The actor manager attributed the
police action to the fact that he had
Joined the nti-Syndicate forces, and
said the theatrical trust was hitting
at him through Tammany Hall. Later
he Gained down, but promised the
people that he would open his house
in the evening.
About p. m. the health inspector
arrived, went through the theater and
decided that it was all right.
Last night the street in the vicinity
of the playhouse was crowded with
spectators who had gathered in antici-
patton of more trouble. There was
none. however. Mr.. Payton, serene
and smiling, watched the people file
into the auditorium and saw the cur
tain go up without a hitch.
Yes, we had some excitement here this
afternoon" he said to a World reporter,
but everything is all right now. The in
spector did not know that we wanted to
give a matinee and didn't get around until

in, but being new, were stiff and the cur

There was a big crowd waiting near the
doors, but policemen were stationed at the
entrance and no one was allowed to enter.
