$4,732.3O IN
 INCORPORATION

Hon. Wesley Hill, auditor of Ari- zona, informs the Phoenix Gazette that the receipts of the auditors office for the month of May from the filing of articles of incorpora- tion amounted to $4,732. 30. This is the largest sum collected any month since the "Cowan bill" went into effect over two years ago. The pext largest was during March, 1905, when $4, ,5O9 came in. In the month of April $4,O1455 was col lected.
 At the present time the Cowan bill is bringing into the treasury of Arizona over fifty thousand dollars year and has been the means of putting the affairs of the territory on cash basis.
 It will be remembered that the bill was introduced in the Twenty second legislature by Hon. L. o. Cowan of Pima county, following a recommendation made by Gov. Brodie in his message to the legis- lature, and that it became law despite the active opposition of 1. 1 T. Stoddard. at that time secretary of the territory.
 If Mir. Stoddard had succeeded in defea ting the bill the territory would have lost hundred thou sand dollars or more which has come into the treasury in fees since the passage of the bill, and instead MT. Stoddard would have received the money But the earnest sup port given the measure by Gov. Brodie and the people of Arizona generally regardless of politics, chief among whom was Hon. R. E. Morrison of Prescott, overwhelmed the opposition and the bill was tri- umphantly passed.
 Hon. w. F. Nichols and Hon. l. NJ. Christy, during their terms as auditor, ably handled the corpora tion business to the benefit of the treasury, and from the amount of ices that came in during the month of May the present auditor has shown that he is fully capable of sustaining the high reputation made by his predecessors in office.

MINE PHOTOGRAPHY
To Exhibit Three Thousand Views
 of Arizona Mines

One of the most extensive, com prehensive and valuable advertis- ing enterprises that has ever been attempted for the mining in dustry in general of Arizona has been arranged for recently by W.. H. Humphries, of the Humphries Photo company, and the committee on entertainment of the American Mining association, which holds it's annual session this year in Ell Paso.
 The enterprise consists in the gathering of 5000 new views of min ing operations, mining country and reduction plants in the territory, a task upon which MT. Humphries is engaged. It is the purpose to have the exhibit complete and wide in in it's scope. Every portion of the territory offering interest to mining men will be covered and given rep resentation in keeping with it's inn portance. From Warren district and Douglas there will be many views.
 The exhibit has already been given a prominent place on the program for the sessions of the na- tional association of mining men, and is looked forward to by the committee on entertainment to pro- vide one of the most interesting features it will be able to offer.
 Aside from the exhibit of the views in group it has been arranged that several hundred shall be made for stereopticon use and be thus presented at sessions of the associa- ton in connection with verbal de- scription of the work of the country and the plants presented. The wide acquaintance of MT. Humphries with the territory and it's resources, together with the excellence his work carries, assures that valua- ble collection of views will be se- cured. Following the meeting of the association at Fl Paso the views will go to the permanent headquar ters at Denver to be a fixed place of exhibit.-Bisbee Review.
