valuation made by the Territorial boafd
 As tbe United States mining laws give ihe prospector Che right to locate a mining claim and hold if by doing a certain amount of work each year. the right of the territory or county to deprive him of that claim by selling it for taxes, in case he should ignore the assessment, would certainly be questioned.
 County Treasurer Con O'Keefe, official tax collector, stated to TIE OASIS reporter yesterday morning that he will ignore the order.

SUES FOR LARGE SUM.
Worlds Fair Mining Company Brings
 Suit for SiSs, GOO.


 Suit for Siss, 900.
 Suit for $1S5 ,000 was commenced in the district court for Santa Cruz county Wednesday by the Worlds Fair Mining Company against Frank Powers and Josephine Pow CTS. The company asks $35,000 for improvements made upon the Worlds Fair group of claims and S150,0O0 for alleged breach of con tract.
 The complaint alleges that on Sept. f, 1904, the defendants en- tered into a contract with Ray Ferguson under which they agreed to sell the mine to the latter, and by which agreement he was em- powered to take possession of the mine, put in machinery and mine and ship ore, Ferguson to have $12 per ton and all shipping and smelt- ing charges.
 Plalntlff claims to have bought on May 20, 1904. Ferguson's rights and privileges under the contract mentioned. In June 1904 plaintiff claims to have had more than $7,000 in the First National bank of Nogales, that plaintiff was work ing and developing the mine and had improvements worth about $35000 on the property
 On June II, 1904, the complaint alleges, the defendants, with i'm tent to break the contract and de- prive the plaintiff of the privileges thereof, caused garnishments and attachments to be levied upon money, ores and all others assets for alleged indebtedness of $15, 500, claiming an indebtedness of $6,61T to the London Glasgow Develop ment Company and $8,000 to de- fendants, and at the same time prevented the plaintiff by injunc- ton from shipping any of the ore mined.
 Dr. Ray Ferguson, who held the original contract, is general man ager of the Worlds Fair Mining Company.

 PHGNIx, Ariz., Aug. p, 1905. DEAR SIR:
 The Territorial Board of Equali- zation at its meeting of August 21, 1905, directed me, as chairman of said Board to direct the Tax Col lectors in all of the counties of Arizona to add unpatented mines to the assessment roll and levy and collect taxes thereon as pro- vided in Paragraph 1896, Revised Statutes of Arizona 1901: I there fore direct you as tax collector to levy and collect taxes on any un- patented mines there may be in your county.
 Very truly yours

 WESLEY A. HILL,
To the Tax Collector, Nogales
 Santa Cruz county, Arizona.

 To the Tax Collector, Nogales, Santa Cruz county, Arizona.
 As the majority of unpatented claims are mere prospects, some with not even windlass in the way of improvements, the personal property taxes thereon will amount to but a few cents,
 The letter, however, orders that the unpatented mines be added to the assessment roll and collections made as provided in Paragraph 1896 Revised Statutes. The Para grapn referred to provides that the tax collector, should he ascer- tain that any property has been omitted from the tax roll, shall add it to the roll and make collec- tions as if such property had been placed upon the tax roll by the regular assessor.
 The letter does not simply order that the improvements on un- patented mines be added to the roll, but that the unpatented mines be added and assessed.
 If the order is obeyed and an effort made to collect taxes on the unpatented mine as a mine, giving the property an assessed valuation as mine, aside from the little inn provements thereon which might be taxed as personal property, it will be more certain 10 occasion a legal fight even than will the effort to force the collection of taxes on patented mines at the increased
