Frank Mansfield Is Mining in the !
 Camp.

Frank Mansfield, of the former P eott firm of Manfeld & Nolan, is To, ed in Goldfeld, Nevada. Many of local friends were under the impress that he had taken up his perman home in California, but a letter eeived here yesterday by the secret of the Eagles lodge, announces that is in the new Nevada mining camp, expects to remain there.
 His only reference to the district

 "This is what told Sias to show why could not help him under the existing circumstances"
 The preliminary examination of Sias will be held tomorrow afternoon before Justice Talbot. He has as yet made no effort to secure the $1,000 bond which was fixed by the court upon his arraignment.

ARRESTED FOR
 PETTY LARCEI

An odd petty larceny case develop| yesterday when Harry Wheeler, MeCabe, a miner and member of Il Odd Fellows lodge, arrived in Pr9 colt, and strangely lost a pair of trd sers. He had the trousers in aud tion wrapped in a bundle, and in pocket of the pants was book cd taining papers of considerable value,
 While chatting with a friend at Il depot he laid down the package, al when he started to pick up Il bundle it was not to be found. SoT| light-fngered rascal had been ahead him, and he came up town somewh| worried at having lost the papers the package. An hour or more lat| while walking along Montezuma stre| he saw Mexican sitting in front of store wearing the identical trousers ndu lOsI.
 Leaving a friend to watch the md Wheeler reported the matter to t1 police, and the Mexican was placd under arrest. He accounts for his po session of Wheeler's trousers by e] plaining that he bought them from stranger for 50 cents. He declarI there were no papers in the pockets 1 the trousers when he bought them, an a careful search fails to show whd became of this most valuable portid of the bundle.
 The arrested Mexican was locked u pending a hearing of the case. I'll papers which Wheeler is anxious abou consist chiefly of location notices an lodge receipts; also receipts from tH miners union organization of which is member.

you, personally, but do feel sore over the treatment I got from you"
 "I know that I have done you wrong, Joe. You certainly treated me white. No man could have done better. When I went down to the train that morning had not the slight est intention of leaving town. But the impulse came to me and the first thing I knew I was on the freight. |"
 "Why didn't you write to mel" asked Roberts.
 "I intended to several times, but I was afraid to do so, not knowing how you might feel about the matter. Fin ally I made up my mind to write you letter on the day that my family arrived at Houston. On that day I was arrested"
 It was at the stage of the interview when Sias admitted that he had "done dirt," as he expressed it, to his employer, that he broke down. His voice choked and the words came out one at time. Only by the utmost effort was he able to suppress the tears that were ready to flow and give vent to the contrite feeling that shook his frame with evident emotion.
 The scene was a pathetic one, and Roberts was visibly affected as he shook hands at parting.
 MT. Roberts confirmed the above in- terview yesterday evening, and added, 'I have lost the money and that is all there is to it. A party came to me today and wanted me to square the matter by offering to make restitu- tion in behalf of Sias. I feel sorry for him, but the return of the money

D0INGS AT WALKER

WALKER, une 23-The s. J. As. had jolly good time in Walker last Tuesday afternoon. Two carriages conveyed merry crowd of girls to Walker, the party consisting of Mae Stukey, Myrtle Braly, Bessie Bruce, Maud Thomas, Marie Curtis, and Ka- therine Barnett, chaperoned by Mrs. c. c. Stukey.
 The weather was rather warm, and the road was long and rocky, but the trip was, nevertheless, delightful. They heralded Walker with their yell to the effect that the s. J. As. are out for fun.
 That night was the night of nights in Walker. Twenty-two young folks enjoyed a dance which was given es- pecially for them, and they danced un- til two o'clock the next morning, and are ready for another dance Friday night. These young ladies are being cordially entertained by Mrs. c. C.. Stukey, who is as young and charming as a girl of sixteen, and who always makes things pleasant for young peo- pie.
 They will return to their respective homes next Saturday, two returning to Prescott, one to Carrolton, and three will remain at Walker. The people at Walker wish the young crowd a most enjoyable vacation.

JAMES SEAS BREAKS
 DOWN AND C0NFESSES

Acknowledging that he had done wrong, and moved by remorse over his misdeeds. Jim Sias yesterday broke down and could not suppress his emo- tion as he confesed his perfdy to his former employer, ex-Sheriff Joseph I. Roberts in his cell at the county jail.
 Roberts went to the jail at the re- quest of Sias, and after a formal greeting, the prisoner said: "Joe, I want you to help me out of this trou- ble."
 "I can't do it," was the reply.
 "But you can," persisted Sias.
 "It is beyond my power now, Jim; the matter is in the hands of the dis triet attorney"
 Then Sias intimated that he would make good the amount that Roberts claims was missing, and added "How much is it7"
 Roberts replied: "You know, Jim, better than do."
 Well, I don't know exactly," mus ed Sias, ''but figured it up in my mind as left town, and calculated it was about $1,3OO."
 The prisoner again pleaded with the ex-sheriff for his assistance in ex- trieating him from his unfortunate pre- dieament, and again he was told by Roberts that it was out of his power now to help him.
 "I think you feel pretty harsh to- wards me, JOe," entreated the &C., eused man.

\
 The S supervisors have a hard nut to crack, and it will probably give them some considerable trouble and deep thought before the matter is settled.
 A letter has been received by the board within the past two days from Wesley A. H,Il, territorial auditor and chairman O. the territorial board of equalization. calling attention to the facts that the mining properties throughout the territory are assessed disproportionately low to other pro- perty, and that the number of cattle returned by the assessors of the various counties seems abnormally small.
 This letter has been also sent to other boards of supervisors, and is mo- thing more nor less than an official threat, courteously expressed, that if the supervisors do not raise the rating as returned by the assessor, that the territorial board will, ill pursuance of the authority vested in it, arbitrarily make a horizontal increase of the as- sessment roll of the county.
 Herewith is the language used in delivering the ultimatum of the ter ritorial board:
 "I was instructed by the territorial board of equalization at the meeting of June to request of each of the county board of supervisors in the ter ritory to furnish this board not later than August l, 1905, with a certified copy of the assessment rolls of their respective counties for the year 1905. The authority for making this request is found in paragraph SS77, chapter 3, title 2, of the revised statutes of 1901.
 ''I was also instructed by the board to call your attention to the fact that the mining properties through out the territory of Arizona have been assessed at lower figure, which, when compared with the valuations placed upon other classes of property, seems disproportionately low. It will ex- pedite matters both for your board and for ours, if you will carefully look into the matter of the assessment of the mines in your county.
 "I also wish to call your attention to the number of cattle returned by your county. When it is apparent, as in many cases it is, that the owner makes returns of much less cattle or sheep than he has, the matter should be by your board or by the assessor called to the attention of the proper authorities.
 "The escape of property from taxa tion by false returns or by any un- fairly low comparative valuation, un- justly and directly increases the burd- en upon others. It is to the interest of every taxpayer in your county that each person should be assessed upon his true and actual holdings.
 "Hoping that you will take an in- terest in this matter and place your valuations with just uniformity in all cases so that the burden of taxa tion may be equally borne, and that we will be favored with a copy of your report by August l, I beg to re- main, very truly yours,
 "Wesley A. Hill, Chairman" |"

COUNTY ASSESSMENTS
 IN DANGER OF A RAISE

 1 Assessor Sullivan was out of town and Deputy Assessors Raible and Far ley when shown a copy of the letter, stated that if the valuations in other counties were on the same level as those. in this county, there would be no occasion for the territorial board to consider an arbitrary raise.
 In regard to mining properties, they cited the fact that the Copper Queen in Cochise county is assessed at $550,- 900, while the United Verde assess ment is $s95,OOO, and including its pa- tented claims it pays taxes on about a million dollars. Yet the Copper Queen employs over 5000 men, and the value of it's output is about two and a half times as large. On this comparison, the deputies pointed out, the big Bisbee mine ought to be assessed at about $3,OOO,OOO.
 It is true, they said, that there is an inequality in the valuations placed upon patented claims. In this coun- ty each one is assessed at s75O, in Co chise county it is $500, while in Gra- ham county they are rated at $1,OOO The assessors of the territory ought to get together, and agree upon a uni form valuation upon this class of prop erty. There are more patented claims in Yavapai county, they said, than in all the other counties combined. This fact is shown in the governors annual report.
 Referring to the complaint of the chairman of the territorial board of equalization regarding cattle, Messrs. Farley and Raible explained that ow- ing to the fact that the assessor was given assistance this year by the SUD- ervisors, the work was more thorough ly done, and as consequence there are 10000 more sheep and 5000 more goats placed on the assessment roll than last year. It was pointed out that in Marieopa county all cattle are as- sessed at $10 a head, although prac- tically nine-tenths of that number are blooded stock, bull yearling, for in- stance, bringing s7O. This marked discrepancy is certainly a subject wor- thy of investigation by the territorial board.
 In spite of the fact that SI00.OOO was lost to the assessment roll this year by the closing down of mines, yet the total roll is larger by $3OO,OOO, the deputies say, and the gross increase is, therefore, s4OO,OOO.
 Correcting an error made by an even- ing paper, which claimed that the San ta Fe main line was assessed at only $49, 9,911.46, for it's main line, the depu- ties opened the books which show that the 6O.55s miles of the system in this county are assessed for $264, ,941.25; it's lots and cottages at Ash Fork at $2,125, and its 21O,6s9 acres of land at $46,5O3.46, making a total assess ment on the railroad of s314,s52.71.
 Altogether there is likely to be an interesting seance when the supervis- ors meet, and the Assessor will be on hand to defend himself. The main question, however, is to satisfy the territorial board so as to prevent an arbitrary increase of the assessment roll of the entire county.

The above is the decision and out come of celebrated case that indirectly led to the closing of all gambling in Tucson, and has been the general topic for comment among the sporting fraternity of the terri tory during the past year. Briefly re- peated the suit arose over the sale of mass of jewelry to the plaintiff, in cluding some few good diamonds and lot of "fake" goods for $12,5OO in cash by a man named Harcourt. When Steinfelt learned of his having bitten on a crooked deal, he succeed ed in having Hareourt indicted and extradited from California. The trial led Steinfelt to believe that Bartlett was a partner in the deal with liar court, and when the action against Hareourt was ended he secured judg- ment, taking the "fake" goods to cover same, as better than nothing. His wife then bought in the goods at sher- ifs sale for s2,5OO.
 Immediately after settling the mat ter to this extent the plaintiff brought action against Bartlett for damages to recover what he had paid out for the jewelry, less what it was actually worth, and yesterday secured judg- ment in the sum of $s,OOO.
 The peculiarity of such a deal affect ing gambling, and in the end forcing it to close, is what made the matter of especial interest. When the deal was first made public and the plaintiff had begun action in the courts, a city cam aign was on, and a few far-seeing politicians knowing the standing of Bartlett in the community, made this matter a local political issue, and through good management and clever manipulation of votes, succecGed in winning out at the polls. They kept their pledges and closed gambling as they had promised they would, and the judgment yesterday given against Bartlett is the final chapter to a de- cidedly interesting story.
 The feeling created in this fight throughout Tucson and the money spent to contest the affair one way and another will never likely become generally known. The loss to saloon and gambling men alone has been en- ormous, and Bartlett himself has been a heavy loser from several directions It is claimed by those who are opposed to Bartlett that this case will in the end give him a chance to make a fresh start in life without dollar, but peo- pie who best know him allege that this statement is overdrawn.
 What may yet come of this legal fight is problem, but it is known that Bartlett will not quit as long as he has a dollar to fight with and a way to keep on going.
