directions. On the return trip the lady became sick on the train, and it was necessary for her to leave inc train at a Kansas station. She was without n great deal of money, and she was cared for at hospital in a charit' able manner. She made request to be allowed to continue her trip to Chi cago on her ticket This privilege con stitutcs a discrimination under the new law. and for that reason cannot be allowed. Heretofore the extenuating circumstances have been taken into consideration in cases of this kind, and the passenger allowed to proceed on the trip without further cost. In this ease, however, the lady will have to pay her fare from the Kansas town to Chicago.
 Passenger officials have not yet formed m absolute decision in regard to the latitude allowed them in regard to the issuance of transportation. and for that reason it has been decided to cut out the further issuance of trans portation for interstate trips after Aug. es. Time transportation already out standing is, in the opinion of the off cials, valid until January I. under the terms of the new law, and will not be molested unless given notice to take it up by the interstate commerce com. mission.
 Politicians and all others not inciud- cd in the interstate law as being cn. titled to use interstate passes will be cut oE from the use of such transportn. ton also on the 2sth of this month pending the final decision as to the construction to be placed upon the law in regard to the latitude to be allowed the railways in the issuance of sucf transportation between the 2sth of thi' month and the first of next January at which time there ia no question a' to tho meaning of the law.

VOTE IT DOWN." SAYS SENATOR
 TELLER.

A prominent Arizona citizen made n visit recently to Denver, especially for the purpose of seeing Senator Tell. CT, who has been a strong opponent to the plan of linking Arizona and New Mexico in joint statehood, says the Los Angeles Times. In a letter to a member of the Times stan, the Ariz- oman says:
 CT have recently been in Denver, and had two interviews with Senator Teller regarding statehood. He au' thorized me to say for him that I had his assurance that in case Ariz- ona voted down this proposition, no joint measure with New Mexico could ever pass Congress, and that even the house would never pass the measure again. He is sure that if the Okla. homa Indian Territory feature could have been eliminated from the bill t cOutu uOt nave oVVh p"roVu "s "'' <'"" that this part of the question is set tied, no matter what we may do, 1t has not the ghost of n chance in the flu. turc. He asserts that there is a grow ing sentiment against the idea of join. ture as an outrage and injustice that ought not to be attempted. He fur ther says that in his opinion both New Mexico and Arizona will be admitted singly during the next session of con Rress. He believes that if New Mex ico would vote it down as well as Ari zona, that New Mexico could be ad mitted next winter during the congress Senator Teller is one of the most care ful men in statements of this kind, and his judgment is not surpassed by m, man in the senate. He has been or the floor for nearly thirty years, ant Is n man of close observation, ant sound judgment. He has been oui staunch friend in all this struggle. H' gave me many points of objection iron the standpoint of justice as to popula tion and development in both Arizon; and New Mexico in favor of the claim of both to admission singly."

NEW RATE OF TAXATION IN THE
 VARIOUS COUNTIES.
(rrom Fridays Daily.)

The figures from all the counties, showing the county rates of taxation are now on file at the office of the ter. ritorial auditor and from them the following table has been compiled. li shows the tax rate in each county, in cIuding the territorial rate, for the year 1905, and for the year fS00, and also the amount Of reduction of the rate in each county. The reader will observe that this reduction is from five cents to $l.25 in the various coun ties, with the exception of Mohave, where the rate remains the same.
 A little calculation on these figures will enable the reader to demonstrate to his own satisfaction the following points: That the average rate levied on each slO0 of the assessed valuation of all the property in the territory this year is s2.77, against t3.27 levied on each $lOO worth of property last year or n general reduction of go cents on the $lOO, or reduced to per centsge, d decrease of l5.3 per cent. And this despite the fact that greater amount of money is being raised by taxatioa in the several counties than was raisei last year, owing to the increased pOpu' lation, and a general expansion in the volume of business in the territory or| in other words, growth.
 If the reader desires to learn tls county rates alone he should subtra,, from the first column of figures oje the territorial ratc for last year, and from the second column of figures ';s, the territorial rate for this year.

RAILROADS SHUT DOWN TI0HT
 ON ALL PASSES.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Yesterday was the last day on which any person could ride on a pass. A number of influential men in Prescott who have been accustomed tO railroad courtesies for many years, received courteous notice about ten days ago to turn in their railroad passes. This is nll on account of the new interstate commerce law, and it is believed that the railroads are secretly elated that the bill abolishes the issuance of passes. A fine of 5000 and Imprisonment for term of two years may he impos- ed as the penalty of a violation of the interstate law. Railway officials have no intention of courting n chance to have the penalty imposed.
 An instance of the manner in which the new laws works came up n few days ago. A lady bought round trip excursion ticket from Fl Paso and re. turn for one fare plus two dollars. The tickets were sold to all purchasers with the understanding that they were good only for a continuous passage in both

FLAMMER MINES SHOWING UP
 WE'LL.
(From Thursday's s Daily)


 NJ. J. Enright, foreman of the Flam. mer group of mines in the Big Bug dis trict, spent yesterday in tho city.
 Speaking of the Hammer mines to n Journal Miner man, he said "There is no question in my mind but that an. other good producer will be added to the many now in operation in the Me. Cube section, as soon as the Hammer mines are further developed. While the work now done has only reached n depth of 100 feet on the vein, the ex- istence of rich and extensive ore bodies has already been established beyond any question, and the prospect for n large mine is as good as any in the i'm. mediate district for the amount of money that has been expended on the ground"
 "The vein is tapped by crosscut tunnel 100 feet in length. and from this drift has been run along the ledge a distance of 200 feet, exposing n pay. streak of q thickness varying from one to three feet, which samples on the average over $40 to the ton in gold and silver values, with small per centagc of copper. In addition to this the ledge has been prospected along the surface for the length of three claims by a number of shallow shafts, which shows the ore to be con tinuous for the entire distance"
 The Hammer group. consisting of four locations, is situate about one mil, north of the McCabe and Gladston, mines and about the same distance east of the Little Jessie. It is in th, immediate vicinity of the Triangl, mine. which is showing we'll as its de vclopment progresses and is hut l, short distance from the Silver Bel mine, which was one of the best xilvel producers in the county many year ago before the price of the white me tai fell below &l an ounce.
 Good wagon roads connect the cam, with MeCabe and the Humboldt smelt ing plant, which is but two and n hal miles distant, where all the ores of tn, district find a market.

 "Thousands of mechanics and lab orers can find employment there for the next two years and at tip top wapcs.v he said. "Thc railroads are offering very low rates of transportation from the east, but despite the fact that the fare was recently reduced 10 s35 from Chicago and s30 from Missouri river points, there is still a great demand for laborcrs and mechan' ics of all trades. Bricklayers get v a day. and carpenters from ~ to VI; cement workers are scarce ot $J, and hod carriers cannot be had at &4: plum bers are in demand at $6, while com. mon lnborers are offered from &2 to A2.50.

 "The santa Fc will move it's head quarters into the Monadnock building about the first of September. The company had just completed the fitting of it's offices in this building when the earthquake came, and the offices were pronounced by all to be the finest in the United States.

It was, how ever wrecked on the inside by dy namite. but this did not knock down the walls, and the work of repairing i' was at once started when the Rrs which followed the earthquake burned out"
 "The new Santa Fe terminals al China Basin, which were filled in by the company at great expense, ar' completed, and a large number of ware
 houses and manufacturing establish

INTERSTATE LAW Is OCCASION
 OF COMPLAINT.

 The strict enforcement of the Inter state Commerce law, which went into effect yesterday, is going to work hardship on many innocent people un. less the Interstate Commerce com mission can and does give the railway companies certain latitude that the bin prohibits. In n new country like this, sparsely settled, it is absolutely necessary that the railway companies be permitted to cooperate literally with individuals and communities in making available the vast undevclopcd resources of the territory. Mir. Murphy, president of the Santa Fe, Prescott, < Phoenix Railway company, yesterday wired the Interstate Commerce com. mission as follows:
 Chairman, Interstate Commerce
 Commission, Washington, D. c.
 As I interpret interstate commerce act, effective yesterday, railroads this territory deprived of privilege of mak. ing special or excursion rates except on notice as required, even though same thrown open to public. We were obliged to refuse one fare rouRd trip re. qucstcd by 100 miners desirous of at. tending funeral in Prescott today Thy are complaining bitterly. Can not some immediate action be taken by commission that will allow railroad company to cooperate with patrons for mutual benefit when same can be done without discrimination as to in dividuals or communitiesf
