METEOR SEARCH
IS AGAIN ACTIVE
STANDARD IRON co. AFTER
PRIZE IN ARIZONA
Statement Made That Fine Particles
of Diamonds Have Been Found.
Gold Bricks at
Douglas

An enormous body of meteoric iron
and nickel is the prize sought for by
the Standard Iron company, operating
in Coconino county, about seven miles
from Canyon Diablo station on the
Santa Fe.
This company is boring into Crater
mountain, low, flat hill, with an i'm
mense crater-like cavity in its sum-
init, on the theory that this hill was
thrown up by the impact of a gigantic
meteor, which will be found imbedded
below the depression that it made.
Many indications bear out this
theory. The crater is fringed with a
fine sand, white as snow, apparently
rock crushed into dust by the terrific
impact of the falling body, and the sur
rounding country is strewn with mete-
oric fragments.
The Indians of this vicinity have
legendary records of the fall of an
enormous body of fire. and their pic
ture writings show that a large me-
teor was seen and noted by their tribe
some time in the past.
1t has been frequently asserted that
fine particles of diamonds have beer

100000 in Gold
Eighteen bricks of bullion from th
Lampasas mine consigned to the Cit!
of Mexico passed through Douglas
Ariz., the other day. 1t was shipped
under bond from Nogales. The bricks
averaged about 100 pounds each in
weight and carry gold and silver
metal, gold predominating, the bricks
being worth about $4,000 each, which
would give the total consignment a
value of about 100000.
| The bullion lay for an hour or more
on the trucks at the depot awaiting the
arrival of the east-bound train to take
it to Ell Paso. If there were any guards
they made no display and showed nc
guns.
The bullion was stamped in the name
of M. A. Lopez, owner of the Lam
pasas mine.

POLICE MISTAKE
NEGRO PRISONER

A. NJ Russell negro, was arrested
Saturday night by Detectives Craig
and Mcnamara on South Main street
for acting in a suspicious manner, and
when searched at the police station two
large revolvers were found in his pock-
cts. A charge of carrying concealed
weapons was lodged against him and
he will be taken to court to answer to
1t this morning.
When taken to the station and his
name was learned 1t was first thought
Russell was the same negro who tried
to shoot Police Justice Austin at his
residence four years ago. The names
are the same and both men are negroes,
but on looking up the description of
the Russell who tried to kill Austin it
was learned he was a tall, heavy set
negro. while the Russell arrested Sat
urday night Is an understood man.
The Russell who tried to kill Aus
tin did so in spirit of revenge for a
supposed wrong He had been arrested
several times on different charges and
was looked upon as bad man by the
police.
He was ct last arrested for vagrancy
and suspicious conduct and was sem
fenced to three months. When his term
expired he left prison with the avowed
intention of killing Austin. A few
nights later he called at the judges
home and rang the bell. Mr.. Austin
went to the door himself and was there
met by the negro, who fired at him
three times but without hitting him.
Russell then ran and has not, so far as
known, been captured since. He was
said to be In Oakland some time ago. A
warrant for his arrest is still out, and
II he ever returns to Los Angeles he
will be arrested at once.

FAMOUS NEVADA TOWN Isl
THREE YEARS OLD
San Francisco Financiers and 8usi-
ness Men Visit Nevada Camps.
Machinery Supplies from
Los Angeles

Goldfeld, the wonder gold camp of
Nevada, was plated as a town site in
November, 1903, just three years
ago. The first lots sold for $40 to $35
each. The town consisted of about 20
tents.
Today, Goldfield, town and camp, has
a population of about $4,000 people and
is growing with astonishing strides.
The built-up portion spreads over 1000
acres, and extends one and three
quarters miles from north to south,
and about a mile from east to west.
Residence lots sell from 5000 to $500,
the former price being for inside lots
on the outskirts of town. Corner lots
half mile from the business streets
sell for 81 900. Business lots sell from
$4,000 to $4,000 Ground in the business
section rents from $40 to $3.50 per
front foot. by the month.
Goldfield today is experiencing great
activity in the way of building. No
city in the west is putting up as many
substantial and ornate business blocks
and residences as Goldfield; and it ap-
pears as if the town of today, with its
$4,000 to $1,000 people, would, in an
other year, be a city of from $4,000 to
30,0 900 population.

ON CITY
EQUALIZER

The clash between the city and
county members of the board OF
equalization yesterday is one
which is not generally understood
by the public because never before
has the exact point been laid.
The county members, If they
want to force the matter, are TAX
ing a perfectly legal position in
telling the city members to keep
hands off country property.
1t seems that up to 1893 the city
of Spokane had it's own assessor,
tax collection machinery and equa-
lizers. In that year the matter
was given over to the county au-
thorities, and the city has since
been paying the county $1,000 a
year for doing this work. Thus 1t
comes about that the committee
of the city council in attendance
on the board Of equalization IS
merely expected to attend to city
taxation.
The county members, as county
commissioners and county officers,
have work to do for the whole
county, of which the city is a
part. 1t is apparent that the coun-
try members may take cognizance
of taxation matters pertaining to
the city, while the jurisdiction of
the city members does not cross
the city limits.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
county commissioners connot com
promise state taxes without ex-
ceeding their authority. Tt is equ-
ally established that in some years
the commissioners have compro-
missed taxes in which the city of
| Spokane was interested. This
seems like an inequality in the tax
relations between the city and the
| county, and the question of it's jus,
tice has been raised by Former
| Corporation Counsel Dudley in the
matter Of the assessment of w. H.
Cowles, litigation over which is
now in the courts.
