a pathetic feature Of the case is that
although General Lee was blessed with
a family consisting OF a wife and five
children, not one of them was with him
at the time of his death.
General Lees attack is attributed
largely to his activity in behalf of the
naval review which is to be held in the
vicinity of Jamestown Va His heart
and soul have been in the work and
he labored zealously to make it a sue
cess.
Arrangements for General Lees fun
eTal together with the selection of the
place of interment of the remains, will
not be made until after the arrival in
Washington of Mrs. Lee who is now on
her way to Washington from Fort
Oglethorpe.
A widow and five children survive
General Lee. Two of the boys are army
officers and two of the girls are wives
Of army officers, while the remaining
child is young women still in her
teens.
Sketch of the Man.
Fitzhugh Lee represented the third
generation of that famous Virginia
family of the American republic. Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lees grandfather was
the famous General Henry Lee noted
in the annals of our Revolutionary war
as Light Horse Harry"
Fitzhugh Lee was born November 1S,
1885. He entered West Point from
which he graduated in 1854, receiving a
commission as second lieutenant in the
United States army.
After a year spent in drilling recruits
at Carlisle barracks, Pennsylvania.
Lieutenant Lee was assigned to active
duty in the campaigns in the FAR west
against the Indians.
Lieutenant Fitzhugh Lee with his
father, uncle, brother and cousin left
the service of the Union to fight against
it under the flag of their state.
Lee was made a brigadier general,
and about a year later he became a
major general He was a conspicuous
figure in the battle of Winchester, on
which occasion three horses were shot
under him and he was severely wound
eG. After several months spent in the
hospital he returned to the field, and in
March, 1865, he was placed in command
of the entire cavalry corps of the army
of Northern Virginia.
At the close Of the war General F'ftz-
hugh Lee engaged in farming on his
estate in Stafford county, Va. General
Lee was elected governor of Virginia in
1885. After he had served his term as
governor his friends undertook to Sc
cure his election as United States sena-
tor, but existing political combinations
were too powerful to be overcome.
General Lee was appointed consul
general to Havana by President Nc
Kinley and served with great credit
during the stirring days that preceded
the Spanish-American war. He was
commissioned brigadier general in the
army during that war and afterward
was retired with the rank of major
general

ABOUT AN OIL LEASE.
Quarrel Because Wells Are Not Oper-
ated Before Supreme Court.

Senator w. S. Fitzpatrick is one of
the attorneys in a piece of oil litiga-
ton fled today in the supreme court.
The case comes up from Chautauqua
county, and is brought by S. S. Hatch
and F. c. Hatch for the purpos of set
ting aside and declaring invalid an
oil lease on a certain tract, which is
held by one William Geiser.
The plaintiffs assert that Geiser has
drilled some oil wells and will not
operate them in such a manner that
they can get any profit out of it. They
want the lease knocked out because
it constitutes a cloud on the title.
Fitzpatrick was the attorney for Geiser
and won his case

GREAT ARE THE EouALIZEno.

The Territorial Board of Equaliza- tion has finally experienced a change of heart toward the mining companies and agreed to leave the assessments of the improvements on the mining -elaims stand at the figures returned by the respective assessors. At the time of presenting the resolution in creasing the valuations on mining properties it was proposed to increase the assessments or improvements 100 per cent.-Prospector
 Of course the Prcspector means that Kibbey experienced a change of heart, as the members of the Territorial lBoasa of Equalization had about as much to do with fixing the valuations on assessments as the man in the moon, so far as being allowed to fol low any opinion of their own i' con cernei. So, the -OO per cent raise OF the improvements of mining compa. nies was taken of, while the double dyed outrage of raising the non-pro- ducing mining claims of Cochise county. owned by poor people all over the country. who cannot gay such an outrageous tax was allowed to remain

PIMA COUNTY AND SANTA FE.

The Santa Fe New Mexican, in re- cent issue. contains the following editorial comparing conditions in Pima county. Arizona, and Santa Fe county, New Mexico:
 Pima county. Arizona, is in very much the same boat as Santa Fe county, as far as indebtedness is con cerned. It, too. issued railroad aid bonds, and in addition to these has bonded indebtedness of $243, 600. Yet it is prosperous. It has only one rail road. the Southern Pacific, which cuts across the northeastern corner of the county, Santa Fe county having con siderably more railroad mileage. Pima county has not as great an agricultural area as Santa Fe county and it's min. ing wealth is about the same as that of this county. Pima county has but one river of consequence. the Santa Cruz. and it exhausts itself after giv- ing Tucson it's water supply. Pima county has only one town, Tucson which, like Santa Fe, is very ancient, and up to 8 few years ago was exceed ingly slow. It has a large Spanish aDCdEA15 AL Ado ceedingly hot climate and very few of the natural advantages that have been accorded Santa Fe by a beneicent Providence. Outside of Tucson, Pima county has only ten postofhces, not one as large as Santa Cruz or Cerrillos Tor even Golden in Santa Fe county. Santa Fe county has fourteen post offices outside of Santa Fe, most of them large and prosperous settlements. And yet, Pima county is doing well. Its assessment this year amounts to almost $5,000. .000, while that of Santa Fe is only one-third of that Pima county is not despairing on account of Its indebtedness. because with an as sessment of $5.000,O00 an indebtedness of $1 ,000, 900 at a low rate of interest Is not disc0uraging. Of course, the Pima assessor has assessed property at about 80 cents on the dollar. while the average in Santa Fe will hardly exceed one-third of that For that req son real estate vaiues in Pima are high and are low in Santa Fe; the rate of taxation in Pima county Is moderate

DoDeING THE QUESTION.


 The rnoenix Enterprise refuses to discuss the action of the Territorial Board of Equalization from the stand point of the existing facts. and dodges he issue raised by this paper by long tirade on the Copper Queen. The tepational-American has not said anything about the Copper Queer's as sessment. If the Copper Queen was the only one injured by the raid made upon the mining industry of the Ter ritory by the arrogant and autocratic Governor. perhaps that company could survive the injury done. This paper called attention to the fact that the
 on-producing mines of Cochise county had been raised in their assessments 1900 per cent, and asked why was there any mere reason for raising the assessment of non-producing mines than for raising the assessment of the uncultivated lands of the Territory.
 To this inquiry the Enterprise only replies that the Copper Queen and other producing mining companies in the Territory have not been paying a. the tax they should. which this paper has not controverted. But the Enter 5rise. notwithstanding its "trooly .oyal'' attitude toward the Czar Gov srnor, does not attempt to give req son for the putting ou of an additional valuation of nearly sS,O,v,OvO on the aon-producing mines of Cochise county, n which the Copper Queen has no more interest than the editor of the Enterprise.
 The fact is that the Enterprise and other papers in the Territory have largely been the cause for q great and lasting injury which has been placed upon the mining industry of the Terri tory in this equalization business. We believe that the Enterprise and some of the other papers encouraged the Governor in the belief that no one but the Copper Queen owned any mines in Cochi5e county. whereas this com pany only owns about one hundred oi the nearly seven hundred patented mines in the county. The Copper Queens raise amounted to less than { million dollars, but the non-producins mines owned by the people all ovei lCoehise county was stood up for ; raise amounting to nearly three mill ions of dollars.
 | Will the Enterprise justify this ac
 ton, without lodging the question?

According to the figures given out by the Territorial Board qualiza- ton, tEe uncuit;vated lands in Arizona are assessed for about s1 per acre, but in Coehise county the non-producine mining claims are assessed at s2f0 per acre.
