in which will be q ratification of the Constitution of the United States. Then that state constitu- ton will go to the people of the proposed state for ratification or rejection. If they ratify the ma chinery of state government pro- vided in the new instrument will become operative at the time and in the manner that will be provid- ed in the schedule of the new organic law, and the two territorial governments will cease to exist. Then the compact between soyer- eign statesv will be complete. If they reject the proposed instru- ment the whole movement will fall to the ground and the two terri tories will continue as though the Hamilton bill had been never fram- ed and enacted.
 Now why are the Gazette and those 1t represents so fearful of putting the issue to a test in perfectly legal, just and logical way as above outlined? Do they fear that in the end the people will vote to adopt state constitu- tion? TIE OASIS maintains that if they come to the test of 8 vote at 2 constitutional election the people of Arizona would adopt an organic act to create state, with the counties of New Mexico an- nexed. By their bitter hostility to enactment of the Hamilton bill the Gazette and it's adherents show that they fear that very result. Otherwise they would welcome the Hamilton bill, and vote down the constitution proposed state.

MINE TAXATION.

Last week THE OASIS presented the fact that there was trouble in the Territorial Board of Equaliza- tion, that Mir. Donau had resigned, Gen. Thos. F. Wilson was appoint ed in his stead; and there was giv- en short statement of the issues causing the break. That was the situation so far as known when THE OASIS went to press.
 Later information is to the effect that General Wilson qualified, took his seat in the board, and the resolution raising assessments on iii Il patented mines was passed. Fol lowing is the

"NoT SOVEREIGN STATES. <"

The Arizona Gazette attempts to traverse the argument presented some weeks ago by TIE OASIS that the proposition to annex New Mexico to Arizona to create a state is compromise proposed by the states in lieu of the urgent applica. ton of the two territories for single statehood, similar to those com promises extended and accepted among the original states in fram- ing and adoption of the Constitu- tion.
 The Gazette asserts that the
The oasis., 1905-08-26

compromises of the Constitution were "compacts between sovereign states" and that as Arizona and New Mexico are not sovereign states they are powerless to enter into such compacts.
 In that case what becomes of the contention of the Gazette, ad- vanced some months ago, that that clause in the Organic Act of Arizona that the territory shall not be abolished until 1t is ad- mitted to statehood, was compact between Congress and the people of Arizona under which they are entitled to admission without en- largement of the boundaries of the territory? If If tthlae tthlae people Of AAri- zona are now incompetent to enter into compact with the other states, surely they were powerless to do so when the Organic Act pass ed Congress and they had not yet become a body polite. Moreover under the Constitution Congress was powerless to enter into such compact with a territory, because the Constitution explicitly provides that one Congress cannot bind it's successors. If the Organic Act was compact between Congress and the people of Arizona that act was unconstitutional and void.
 Now as to the incompetency of Arizona and New Mexico to enter jointly into compact with the other states, as claimed by the Gazette, because they are not SOW ereign states: The enabling act (the Hamilton bill) when it passes Congress and receives executive sanction, will make of those two territories sovereign state for the purpose of deciding whether it's people desire to enter into the pro- posed compact. The various coun- ties will send delegates to a con- stitutional convention. That con- vention will frame state consti- tuition, one of the very first clauses

Of all the mines in the above list there is not one that is a pro- ducer. Many are prospects that can be bought at their assessed valuation or less. Some of them are in course of development, and at some future time may become producers. To put upon them swingeing assessments at this time will take in the way of taxation money that should be devoted to their development.
 The Belmont mine, in the above list, is fair illustration of the point upon which THE OASIS rests it's opposition to the Territorial Board. It Is mere prospect, with a one hundred foot shaft, showing good ore. At some time in the past ore may have been shipped, but that was long ago. It Is not now producing Several years ago it was bonded to sell at $60,O00, but the deal was not closed. At that time the county board raised the assess ment to S40,000; but reduced it to S20,000 the succeeding year. Upon that valuation the owners have paid taxes since that time. By the action of the Territorial Board the assessment is raised to $100,000- eighty per cent. more than the value at which the owners were willing to sell, but which price a prospective purchaser refused to pay. That showing alone, it is likely, would overturn the raise made by the Territorial Board, in any court.
 THE OASIS is at loss to under stand the motives of the Territorial Board in the sweeping raise of all patented mines upon the plea of making the great tax shirking mining companies pay their just dues. There is only one way to account for it, and that is that the raise is made with an idea that the people may be aroused to election of legislature which will enact reasonable bullion tax law-the only just way of taxing mines which has been heretofore prevented by the great producing corporations. Heretofore the small mine owners have been indifferent. Now, they may "sit up and take notice.p

While applauding the action of the board in raising assessments of the patented mines owned by the great producing corporations, TIE OAsIs is disposed to believe an in- justice has been wrought upon the producing patented mines. That is surely the case So far as are concerned such mines in Santa Cruz county, as an examination will show. Following is a list of

New Watch a Wonder.

NJ. Leroy, the well-known watch
maker of Paris, has just completed,
after seven years work, what is consid-
cred the most complicated watch in the
world, says Paris dispatch. 1t is gold
and only little larger than the ordin-
airy timepiece, but is made up of 975
parts, with twenty-four mechanical
movements.
Besides marking the hours and sec
onds, it indicates the days, months aud
years making automatically the
necessary change in leap years., the
lunar phases, the seasons, the solstices
and equinoxes, the time of 125 cities
of the world and the hours of the rising
and the setting of the sun.
1t also contains strike arrangement,
a thermometer. hydrometer, barom-
eter, an atlmeter, compass and all
the features of a repeating chronometer,
and can be regulated without opening
it.
In the inner case are the celestial
maps of the two hemispheres moving
at the rate of 256 seconds day, III
which even stars of the fourth magni-
tude, represented by $50 golden dots,
can be located in their exact positions
in the sky. The watch is valued at $4,000
and will be added to the Louvre collec-
ton.

Literary News and Notes.

The Atlantic Monthly, which in the
last six years has contained SO many
contributions to our knowledge of the
Philippine Islands, presents in the
March number an especially able paper
by James A. Leroy upon Our Spanish
Inheritance in the Philippines. Mr.. Lee
Roy, who was for two years Secretary
of the Philippine Commission, has
made a special study of the history of
Spanish rule in the Islands. He thus
brings into the discussion some interest
ing new points of view. AS he shows
conclusively, our problem in the Philip
pines is quite other than that which
European nations have found in other
parts of the Far East.
Newton Newkirk, the author of
'Stealthy Steve" the clever book
satirizing detective fiction of the
present day, is the successor of the late
Charles H. Hoyt as the official humorist
of the Boston Post That was the job
''held down. by the lamented Hoyt be-
fore he began to shine as an author of
plays, and Mr.. Newkirk seems destined
to follow in his footsteps. He is exc
cutting several orders for farcical plays.
The Second Corps of Cadets, who are
celebrated for their annual theatricals
in Boston, have secured Mr.. Newkirk's
consent to use his famous detective
Stealthy Steve, as leading character
in their musical comedy production
this month.
The New England Magazine for March
contains number of very striking feat
ures. Perhaps the most important is
an article on "Christian Science Church
Architecture" by Alfred Farlow. The
pictures of noble and beautiful church
edifices with which it is SO lavishly IL
Illustrated will prove a revelation to
many people who are ignorant of the
astonishing growth that has been at
tanned by Christian Science. Among
other illustrated features of great in
terest are "Pastimes of the Canadian
People," by G. Waldo Browne, and
''Salem of To-Day" by Mary H.
Northend, the latter being sequel to
the article, Historic Salem,' published
in the January number.
