Beating the Wheel.

A couple of sports last week man. aged to ''do' the roulette wheel in Bias Sirianni's place for SPA by a rather ingenious cOntrivance. They first put a small hole through the side of the frame large enough to admit a pin or a small wire. They then bet their money on numbers covering One-half of the wheel. When the turn was made and the side of the wheel came around on which the bets were placed the wire was inserted through the hole in the rim of the frame. When the ball struck the wire it was compelled to jump out of the groove, and was almost sure to lodge in some of the numbers covered by the bets. Only a few rolls were made until Bias discovered that something was wrong, and he grabbed the operators hand sitting close to the wheel, who was manipu- lating the wire. This stopped the crooked work. No arrests were made, and the parties have since left town, carrying with them nice roll as the result of their daring and inUenuitV

THE ASSESSOR TURNED DOWN.
The Board of County Supervisors Did Not SuStian the Assessor on
 Biz Raises,

The announcement was made in the ERA some weeks ago of wholesale raises of the mining companies by Assessor Birdno, which has since been the theme of much comment throughout the county. The asses sor was strongly backed b y many people down the valley, while the concensus of opinion in this section has been that the board of supervis- ors should not sustain the raises as made by the assessor. The matter was disposed of by the board of county supervisors sitting in session last week as board of equalization, George Olney voting to sustain the assessor and Bay M. Shannon and Frank Billingsley voting to reduce the returns to what they were last year. The ERA is informed by peo- pie recently from the county seat that the assessor will appeal from the supervisors court to the terri torial board of equalization, hence the matter cannot as yet be consid- cred settled. The board of super visors evidently took the position that it would be unjust to assess the companies of Graham county higher in proportion to the returns of other big companies of the territory. The United Verde company of Jerome, which owns and operates the biggest and richest copper mine in the world, returned its entire property at S8O0,- 00), hence it would be manifestly un- fair to assess companies in this sec tion, with property of less value, at two and three times that amount.

DURING the past two years two United States senators and one con gressman have been convicted of using their official positions to fur ther their private ends. It is de- plorable state of affairs that men who have been so highly honored will stoop to such despicable methods of making money. The greed for gain among our public men causes many of them to lose all self respect. The conviction of men of such promi- hence as Senators Mitchell and Bur- ton ought to have good effect upon others

IT REMAINED for Walter Scott, a cowboy-miner of Nevada, to set a record breaking pace in railroading. For the mere fun of the thing, and in order to separate himself from his money as rapidly as possible, Scott chartered a special from Los Angeles to Chicago over the Santa Fe. The train made the run of 2265 miles in -fforty-four hours and fifty-four min utes. This beat all previous records by nearly eight hours. The average for the entire run was 51.01 miles, which included all stops. And after all it was not such foolish way to spend money. Scott has demon strated what can be done under the most favorable circumstances.

THE Salton sea on the Colorado des- ert, caused by an overflow from the Colorado river,i is now reaching alarm ing proportions. The works of the Sal ton plant have been almost destroy ed by waves on the sea, and the road bed of the Southern Pacific is also threatened. The railroad is now em- ploying hundreds of laborers who are engaged in piling sacks of sand along the track to protect it from the in flowing waters. The situation is be- coming quite serious. It is said that the lake now covers two hundred square miles of country, and is daily expanding.

THE federal grand jury sitting at Prescott found several indictments against Mormons of Apache county for polygamy. It is also stated by the dispatches that bitter feeling exists between the Mormons and the Gentiles of Apache county.
