teaonfoOs INFORMATION

With the granting Of the motiot
 to quash the maudamus proceed
 ings on the mine taxation ltiga
 tion in the supreme court at Pho
 nix last week, some of the news
 papers opposed to the course ot
 the Territorial Board and Gov.
 ernor Kibbey have affected great
 glee, and with flaming headlines announced to their readers that
 Kibbey was knocked out" creat.
 ing the idea in the minds of many
 that the case is settled adversely
 to the Territorial Board and the
 executive, which is widely at var.
 lance with the fact, which is that
 the supreme court has not entered into trial Of the case at all; but
 has postponed consideration until
 November 17th, because the case aoas not properly bctore the court. The contention of District Attorney Ellingwood of Yavapai county, sus- tained by the court in granting his motion to quash the writ of mandamus, was that aD associate justice of the supreme court has not power to issue such a writ, but that the writ must proceed from the full bench of justices, the proceed
 ings were quashed, and a new writ immediately issued, in the proper procedure, returnable on the date named. Nothing has been decided and the power of the Territorial ] Board is no nearer judicial dei- milton than it was before last week. While TIE OASIS believes that in the end the Territorial Board will be overruled, 1t does not believe 1t right that any part of the public press should seek to convey the idea that 1t has been done. But when the supreme court comes  to an examination of the law, and gives 1t that careful consideration that is due, the judges may dis cover that the action of the Ter ritorial Board was legal, and the only course which that body could pursue in the matter except to permit continuation of evasion of just taxation by great mining cor porations. Should the court take that view the judges would sustain the board even though doubling the wisdom of its policy. The court will oonstrue the law as it finds it. fin order to reach the great mines for purposes of fair md equitable taxation the little ones must be taxed to death, the ,ourt will determine fairly and without favor, passing it to the people to elect a legislature which 1 will enact law that will be just md equitable to ala bullion tax

AMBROSE BIERcE has asserted that there were originally only twenty good stories and that all the others are but variations of the original twenty Recently there have been floating about so many different versions of that old story of the the just Athenian judge who decreed that Leunia should be paid by listening to the jingle of the money in Diogenes purse, that it would seem that Bierce presented truth.

GUIDE ACTS
 SUSPICIOUSLY
Mr. E. P. crindell Encounters Pspsgo indian Who Accompanied Missing Party of Explorers.

There are now indications that the exploring party headed by MT. Thomas Grindell may have been murdered by their guide in the desert country in Sonora. Mr. E. P. Grindell of Tucson, who is searching for his missing brother and his three companions was in Nogales yesterday. He had been 10 Altar, where. through the efforts of MT. Antonio Ramirez. presidente of the municipality, he succeeded in finding the Papago Indian guide who left that place with the party last June and later returned without them The guide told of leaving the party on the coast. He said they found the four hands, mentioned by the Mexican cowboy some weeks ago, before he left the party. He also told MT. Grinnell that the missing party intended to go to the EscalanIes ranch, about thirty-hve miles from the coast, where he left them. He said they had camped one night at a place where there was no water and had turned the horses loose. The horses scattered and two of the men, with himself, went to find them. The entire day was spent in hunting for the animals. He then left the party and returned 10 Caborca. He offered to take Mir. Grindell to the place where he left them, telling him the country was dry and sandy and they could find tracks that had been made six months before. Mr. GFindell agreed to take the trail with the Indian, but the night be- fore they were to depart, Mir. Arturo Furken Of Caborca accost- ed Mr. Grindell and told him the man he was to start out with was of fshady reputation and offered to accompany them. When the h. dian was told that Mir. Furken would be one of the party he de murred and did not want to 20. Later he agreed to go if he could take two of his brothers with him. He was told that his brothers could go along. Next morning there was no Indian guide to be found. He had secured fresh horse dur ing the night and fled the country. 1 His flight has caused Mir. Grindell ! to believe that the man let the horses of the missing party scatter and while the men were separated | hunting for them that the guide murdered them one at time. He | also believes that had he gone alone with the guide as he had in tended to, he would never return.
 Wednesday MT. Grindell was at Hermosillo and told his story to Governor Ysabel. The governor | said they would have to get that I guide and assured Mir. Grindell ! that he would get him.
 This morning Mir. Grindell left for Tucson, where he will remain few days while the Mexican auth l critics are seeking the guide. If they do not find the Papago he will go back to Sonora and employ ! men to assist him in the search.

Mr.. Wright, the author, in a brief but

for passing it at once, so that it might
get through the senate and become
operative in time for the state primary
next year The only object for the
measure, he said, was to enforce purity
in primary elections, which are now
the principal and the most important
elections now held in the state. The
bill was passed without dissenting
