Plunked an Indian.

Ribs Henderson, a Cattleman living on Salt river left Globe Thursday afternoon on horseback. A few miles this side of Livingston he met band of Indians on horseback, who he claims were drunk and he had an altercation with them. He finally fired a shot into the bunch and rode home without stopping to note the effect of his marksmanship.
 At Livingston he reported to Deputy Sheriff Shornick his version of the affair, admitting that he had fired the shot. Shornick went to the scene and found a dead Indian, after which he arrested Henderson.
 It has been freely predicted by freighters and others who traverse this road frequently that a clash was bound to come sooner or later because of the number of drunken Indians seen lately with fire arms in that section. Many teamsters have armed themselves for self protection. Globe Belt.
 E. M. Doe, who has been looking up the question of taxation of the Grand Canyon railroad, has reached the conclusion that the road is sub- ject to taxation, and is of opinion that mandamus proceedings should be brought against the territorial board to compel them to enter this property on the tax roll.

CONGRESSMEN WILL TOUR
 THE TERRITORIES.
Statehood Question Will Be Made a Special Study By Another Party
 of Statesmen.

Arrangements have just been com pleted for a congressional party, oc- cupying two private cars, to leave Chicago on the 9th or 7th of October for a trip through New Mexico and Arizona. The object of the trip will be for a close observation of condi- tions in the two territories, with special reference to their admission as separate states.
 Arizona should derive immense benefit from the visit, for the whole arrangement is the outcome of eff forts which prominent Arizonians have been making for some time to induce a large party of congressman to visit the territory and learn the many reasons for Arizona's Opposi- tion to joint statehood,
 The personnel will include many of the most influential members of the national house of representa- tives. The itineray will be complet- ed within a few days, and will in- clude principal points in both terri tories. The party will be accom- panied from Chicago by President Murphy of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad, and will be met at some point in New Mexico by Presi- dent Randolph of the Southern Pa cific lines in Arizona, and these gen. tlemen, with other citizens of Ari- zona, will see that the visitors have an opportunity to see Arizona and it's people in- a thoroughly satisfactory manner.

Australian Mines.

Since gold was first found in Australia the amount which has been produced is said to exceed in value over s45O,OO0,OOO (2,1S9, 1925, ,OOO). In the early gold mining days the leases were registered in the warden's of flee in the fields, but now they have in most states to be registered at the principal town or seat of govern ment, where there is a mining de- partment. Those who desire to be- come leaseholders must peg off their ground in the first instance, and after d certain date application must be made to have the mine registered, when certain fees have to be paid for survey and rent in advance. Be fore the mine is finally registered a notice is posted, so that if anyone has any objections he can lodge them. After the specified time the application comes before the warden, who can grant or refuse the regis tration. If granted, the registration is published in the Government Ga zette and posted to every mining registrator throughout the state.
 The labor conditions in Australia are stringent for gold mining, as one man must be employed for every five acres, but for other minerals it is more liberal. These conditions must be complied with or the lease is for feited. In some states exemption is retrospective, in accordance with the work done and the amount of capi- tai which has been expended. The mines in Australia are all leasehold and subject to conditions fixed by the government of the different states.

Shot by an Indian.

The Silver City Independent of last week contained the following item, which has ring of old times: ''Tom L. Gibson came near losing his life in the Mogollons last week. He and others were prospecting in the hills when a shot from an opposite hill was fired at them by an unknown party. The shot grazed NIT. Gibson $ knee, causing a painful, but not serious wound. Though he is still quite ill from the injury, it will probably be well in few weeks. It is stated that there are a few Apaches in the hills of that section, and it is thought that one of them fired the shot. Had the shot been aimed a little higher no doubt MT. Gibson would have been killed"

The director of the mint has just given to the public his final stimate of the gold production of the United States tor the calendar year 1904 He places the amount at $90, ,723,O ,O00. which was gain of a little more than S7,O0O,OoO over 19J3. In reality this is not quite So much of an ex- pansion as would appear on the fact of the returns, for the Cripple Creek strike cut down the output in that field for 1903, reducing Colorado's production $6,OO0,OJO from 1902 The increase in the past few years has been comparatively slight. The country's output was S79,OJ0,O GOO for 1900, s7S,O0C,OoO for 1901, $S0, ,O0o,O00 for 1902, s73,OOO,O0o for 1903, and a little less than Ss1, ,O0), ,OOO for 1901.

As usual there is talk of manipula- tion of the copper market, but as the producers are now receiving more than 16 cents per pound, and as many of them have contracted their output for months in advance at that price, there would seem to be nothing in the report. The con- panies are taking advantage of the high prices, and will push their out puts as much as possible, which will have a tendency to keep the price of the red metal from going to such d point that q reaction may be looked for. It seems to be the consensus of opinion of those best informed that the present satisfactory price is due entirely to the demand.

The two countries being equally
attached to the principle of CONNER

those countries countenance and in
equality either in the imposition or
custom duties or through taxes or of

FRANCHISE TAX CASE.
Is Being Argued in the Supreme
Court of the United states.

Washington April 1S.-The argu-
ment in the New York franchise tax
case before the supreme court of the
United States was resumed when the
court convened today. William d.
Guthrie continued his presentation of
the corporation side of the question.
He contended that the law is in con-
travention of the constitution of the
United States in that it inpairs Obli-
cation of the contracts under which
they acquire and own their fran
chises and operates to deny them due
process of law as guaranteed by the
federal constitution.
The subject" he said. is Of general
interest in all the states. 1t is of
great concern and interest to many
state governments and to numerous
corporations similarly situated that
this court shall indicate whether ex-
listing contracts granting such fran
chises are protected against impair
ment by this new form of subsequent
legislation and whether such legisla-
ton must tax all owners OF franchises
engaged in substantially the same
business and under substantially the
same conditions with equality so far
as practicable.
