 The Empire Land and Cattle Com pany, of Pima county, has filed an al fidavit for the appropriation ot water in this county.

 Clerk Howe, of the Board Of Super visors, has received requests from the Territorial Board of Equalization for certified copies of the assessments o1 number of the large mining compa- nies as turned in for this year by | County Assessor B. J. O'Reilly. The general impression is that the Board | is going to take some action on them' as they are the only assessments ask ed for outside of the regular yearly ab- stract that is made out. It IS thought l by some that the Territorial Board will act upon the decision rendered py l the Supreme Court in the recent mlh- ing tax cases, giving them the power | to act upon the mining properties as class and raise them. The outcome of the matter will be watched with in terest owing to the fact that the ac- tion of the Board last year caused such comment and trouble.
