Last Sunday evening at an early
hour, John Fitzpatrick shot and almost
instantly killed James Stevenson, in
front of Ed. Talbert's saloon, at Gold

weeks ago, Stevenson, who was fore
man at the Gold Road mine, having
discharged Fitzpatrick and driven him
from the mine with big wrench. Last
Friday morning the two men met in
front Of the postofiice and Fitzpatrick
struck Stevenson in the face KNOCKING
him down. A rough and tumble fight
ensued. in which Stevenson was lady

Bids have been called for the con
struction of forty miles of the G.V.G. e.
n. from Thatcher To San Carlos. This
has been necessitated by the serious
washouts on this part of the line during
the last year and the new line will lie
a quarter of mile further up in the
hills and well out of the way of any
serious floods. The approximate cost
will be- in the neighboorhood of five
hundred thousand dollars, the best of
everything being required. A seventy
five pound rail will be used. The bids
will be opened sometime after the
middle of the month and work will
probably commence the latter part of
this or the first of next. Besides this

IN COCONINO COUNTY
THEY HAVE KICK COMING

Regarding the Kibbey tax exemp-
ton Of refrigerator and oil cars, the
Coc0nino Sun, a republican paper, says:
The action was taken without con-
sulting the board of this county, and
as there is a great transcontinental
railroad through this county and trains
passing daily over it containing num-
bers of cars of the lines mentioned, it
seems that the territorial board OF
equalization was hypnotized by the rep
resentatives of these car companies.
Z. NJ. Doe, who has been looking ut
the question of the taxation of the
Grand Canyon railroad, has reached
the conclusion that the road is sub
jet to taxation, and is of opinion that
mandamus proceedings should be
brought against the territorial board of
equalization to cause them to enter
this property on the tax roll.
Suit has been brought in the district
trct court of Coconino county by
Yayapai county against Coconino coun-
" for the sum of So, 596. &c, the amount

JUDGE PINNEY TALKS
AGAINST THE JOINTURE
Tells the Buffalo IN. ~ News Why the
People of Arizona Object to
the Imposition

the Imposition
From the Buffalo Evening News of
August 20, the following interview is
quoted:
I'D. H. Pinney, former Associate
Justice of Arizona, is visiting old
friends in Buffalo. Justice Pinney is
an old western New Yorker, who
moved years ago to Joliet, ILL.,, and
was appointed associate justice for the
Territory of Arizona by the late Presi-
dent Arthur. He was sent to Wash
ngton by the Territorial Bar Associa-
ton of Arizona last winter to fight the
bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico
into the Union as one state. In an in
terview today he cited many objections
to the proposition.
''The people of Arizona, irrespective
of political party, are unit against
union with New Mexico" said Justice
Pinney, ''and as | understand the stu
alton, only a small part of the people
of New Mexico are in favor of it. The
people of Arizona prefer to have the
territory remain as it is for all time
rather then to be joined to New Mex
leo
Under President Lincoln's admins
tration, because the territory was too
large for the people to transact the ter
ritorial business, Arizona was sepa-
rated from New Mexico. Since that
time Arizona and New Mexico have
gone on building up and improving in
their own way, but not precisely along
the same lines. Arizona today is in
splendid condition and its prospects for
the future never looked so bright as
now. Its territorial capitol and its ed
ucational buildings have been estab-
lished at great expense to the people.
Its business enterprises and its meth
DDS of doing business are unlike and
distinct from the methods that prevail
in New Mexico. There is nothing in
common between the people of the two
territories. The people of New Mex
leo are as alien to the people of Ari-
iona as the inhabitants of the Ghetto
are to the residents Of Fifth avenue in
New York.
Where did the bill to unite the ter
ritories originated" was asked.
THE Lord only knows" answered
Justice Pinney. 1T provides that the
capital of the joint state shall be at
Santa Fe, New Mexico, thus doing
away with Phoenix, the capital of Ari-
iona, forever. If such a bill should be
passed, state would be thus estab-
lished which would be larger than New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and all
of the New England states put to-
gether The distance from the pres
ent capital of Arizona to the proposed
capital of the state would be 500 miles,
and it would require two days to go
and two days to come from it. If this
can be called a government of and by
the people, then the people of Arizona
DON: know what the phrase means,
and as one man they propose to fight
such an enforced and unholy union"

should place lawful changes made by
the territorial board of equalization up
on the county tax roll, there is no man
datory provisions commanding the
board to do so and in this case, as our
county must be unavoidably be drawn
into litigation whatever action you
take, | would advise you to refuse
to place said raises on the county tax
roll. Oasis.

the loss OF elasticity in the structure
of the muscle. This elasticity was not
always present, but was lost by over
exertion and loss OF heat. The thing
to be done then Is to replace this lack
ing function. II is very easily accom-
'plished. Heat should tie applied to the
afflicted muscles by means Of a heavy
flannel cloth, wrung out of water
slightly above blood heat, being placed
Immediately over the afflicted portion.
AS soon as this gentle heat is thor
oughly felt, remove the hot clothes
and rub well with hot oil-oIive oil is
best. This rubbing should not be Sc
we're, but thorough. The heat which
has been infused into the muscles
should not be severe, but thorough.
The heat which has been infused into
the muscles should be retained by
means of the hot oil and a good piece
of new flannel. If a person is liable to
have this trouble he should wear a
broad belt Of new flannel during the
early fall and winter months, and use
care not to overtax his strength in any
way. This double precautfon will usu-
ally prevent a recurrence of the trou-
bic.

Will Aid in Handlinq Ore..

The United States Steel company
is spending $5,O00,O00 for additional
facilities for handling ore this year.
Part of the money may be consid-
cred in the line of replacing and
undermining present equipment,
but the major portion of it is for
new equipment.
Duluth and the iron ranges of St.
Louis county will feel in a very d.
rect and material way a great part
of this expenditure. The bulk of
the money will be spent for new ore
railroad and mining equipment,
new ore dock construction and new
ships. The ore docks at Two Har-
bors and Duluth are being improv.
ed, and one of the new ships is be-
ing built at Superior. A new coal
dock is to be built at Two Harbors,
and new machine shops have just
been completed there.
Large sums are thus placed in
circulation so quietly and constant
ly that they excite little comment.
but the benefits to the communities
affected are understood by the la
b0rer and the merchants. The Unit
ed States Steel corporation spends
$5,OOO,OOO for additional facilities for
handling ore and the public has be.
come so accustomed to big things
that this enormous sum does not
impress them any more than the
spending of $4,000 by some of the
smaller ore companies of ten years
ago.
It is said that the United States
Steel corporation expects to. ship
100000 tons of iron ore this. year.
That will be several million tons
/ more than it has ever required in
one year before, and is significant
of the strong assurances that exist
in iron and steel circles for the
present year and 1906.-News Tri-
bune.

that "the people of the ranges

have done so four years ago-but
they didn't. No explanations are
necessary, however.

putting him up against cold-deck

oldest paper on the range, being
started at Mt. Iron the winter fol-
lowing the establishment of The
Enterprise at this point by the pres
ent editor. Since passing into the
hands of Editor Atkinson in 1899 it
has become recognized as among
the leaders of Mesaba journalism,
fearless and independent, but ever
working for the betterment of the
city of it's adoption and the fnan-
cial advancement of the man at it's
helm. And here's hoping it may
stay with 'em and continue to bring
results in its chosen field.
