Paris and declares that Thaw wanted her, Mrs. Holman, to sign an affidavit tp the effect that he, Thaw, hae never intended to make Evelyn his wife.
 '1t appears that Thaw became aware of the fact that White had been ap- pealed to by Mrs. Nesbit, now Mrs. Holman. and that Architect White knew of quarrels between Thaw and his present wife. also that Evelyn had told her stepfather that she was not married to Harry Thaw at the time they arrived from Europe and were driven out of the hotel Cumberland.
 That at that time had given state ment which was afte-ward corro- f,orated from Pittsburg that he and Evelyn had been married while in Europe, Thaw knew that White was the only person not of his family who knew that his statement was false and that Thaw did not marry his present wife until months later in Pittsburg,
 Just what disposition is to be made of these letters is not known at pres ent.
 Among papers left by White are also a number of letters written to MT. Holman, husban dof Mrs. Harry Thaw's mother. It would appear that he, too, knew all about relahoIts be- tween Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nes- bit In all these letters Mrs. Thaw is referred to as Florence" She was called thus before she went on the stage, and later on her friends came to call her Evelyn. But to Stanford White she was Florence"

CITY ID ASSESS ALL PATENTED
 CLAIMS
Order of Board Of Equalization Goes Forth, and Assessor
 Starts.


 All patented mining claims within the city limits will be placed upon the city assessment rolls. Occupants or ground under lease where such ground is included within the limits of pat ented mining claim in the city will also be called upon to pay taxes on the lots occupied b Y them as though the lots were personal property.
 This is the result of an order that has gone forth from the Board of Equalization of the City of Bisbee. the taxable list and inscribe it on the city rolls was the last official act of the Board of Equalization which con- cluded its labors on Friday evening.
 Pursuant to the order. City Assessor Patton yesterday started the work of adding 10 his rolls fo- the present year the property mentioned in the order.
 AS a result of this last action taken by the city, much property will be as- sessed that heretofore has been allow ed to pass unnoticed. This is the first year in the history of the City of Bis bee that such action has beeen taken. Patented mining claims have always been taxable, but owing to the prac- tice which has been in vogue in the city assessors office no return has been made heretofore.
 The Copper Queen Mining company owns much patented property within the city limits, principal of which is the Copper Jack claim, on which stands the general offices of the con- pany. The Barnaby building, at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Review Avenue is in part on this claim. This company also owns nearly all the ground lying along Railroad Avenue on what is commonly known as Chihua- hua Hill, To point near the junction of that thoroughfare with Dubacher Canyon. In addition to this, the Cop per Queen owns much property on which are many residences in the easterly section of the city on Naco Road.
 The Copper Queen store is also on patented ground and is within the city limits The residence of General Man. ager Walter Douglas stands on the ground included in patented mining clalm or the company and will be as sessed under the new order.
 Resides property of the Copper Queen company, there is much ground that will come under the new assess. ment. On North Chihuahua Hill, where the most congested resident section Of the city is located, nearly all Of the holdings are the property Of the Cochise Copper Mining company and the ground is patented. In so far as this ground is within the city lin. It's, assessments will be made. Much of this ground is held under lease from the company. Occupants will be called upon to pay the most of the taxes assessed against the property

MICHIGAN MEN WOULD DRILL
 AR|zONANS
Men in Iron and Copper Re- gions Confident Could De-
 feat Our DrillerS.

Evidently the drillers of the copper and iron regions of Michigan think they are the goods when it comes to drilling match The Daily Mining Journal, a Michigan paper published iu lshpeming. Michigan, has the following to say in regard to the work of the western drillers. particularly the Ari- zcna teams:
 Happening miners were interested in the result of the hand drilling con test in Douglas, Arizona, on the Fourth as reported in the Mining Journal the other day. For the past few years contests of this kind have been lead ing features of nearly every celebra- tion of any importance in the Arizona mining district In the opinion of the miners there the crack hammersmen of Arizona have no equals, but there arc old-time miners in this district who have money to wager that their superiors are to be found in either the iron or copper regions, particularly on this range, where the men are perhaps mere accustomed 10 handling the ham mer and drill than are the men of the copper country. Tks records of the Arizona men seem big. but in the opin- ion of some of the Ishpeming experts the Arizona men would nor make any such records if they were to drill in the rock used in contests here"
 Writing from Michigan, a friend of The Review gives some good dope" on the game up there and incidentally remarks that in his opinion either of Ihe two teams to drill at Lowell to- day could get away with the money Of the customers. He even goes so far as to say that he thinks Fred iockey could defeat any of their tbree-men teams. ..
 The Michigan men use different style in drilling than do the western drillers. Two men hammer straight away for ten minutes, a third man doing the churning. That will make no difference to the local drillers, however, who signify a willingness to take a fiier at the Michigan contingent.
 Regarding the match at Lowell to- day, both teams are ready and con- fident that they will win. Ross and Mcfver have kept everlastingly a. their training Bradshaw and Pickens #look in better condition than when sfhey tied the former team at Douglas zon the Fourth. Betting is even, with little money being staked con the re suit thus far.

DELIVERY WAGON RUNS DOWN PEDESTRIAN
 INSTREET
William Baxter, Victim of Alp Ieged CareIessness ofS
 Driver, is Miner.
: <-tTT s~ .

Last evening about quarter after seven, Henshaw's market wagon came whirling around the Bank of Bis bee corner and narrowly missed hit ting two young ladies who were in front of the Copper Queen store. The young ladies were fortunate enough to get out of the way, but William Bax- ter did not see the wagon coming, and before he could move he was knocked down. The shaft of the wagon hit him and knocked him to the ground in sucA a way that his head came directly un- der one of the wheels of the wagon. In falling Baxter evidently did It's best to protect himself, and tried to throw his body from under the wagon. He got his body from under, but the wheel grazed the slde sf his face, inflicting a deep but not serious wound over the left eye. Some bystanders immedi- ately picked up the stricken man and carried him across the street to the Copper Queen Orspensary. On exami- nation il was found that his shoulder had been badly bruised where the shaft hit him, but as far ss could be ascertained. no bones were broken. His hands and arms were very badly scraped, the skin being torn from the greater part of the forearm. After having his wounds dressed Baxter was able to walk home.
 Baxter is miner, and at the pres ent time is working at the L. s. & P. shaft of the Superior & Pittsburg property. He will probably be inca pacitated for work during the next few days.
 Those who witnessed the accident were of the opinion that the driver of the wagon was exceeding the speed or dinance.

WALTER DOUGLAS HAS
 RECEIVED PROMOTION
c. 0. Official Made Second Vice-President of the E.
 P. & s. w.

The news of the promotion of Gen eral Manager Walter Douglas of the Copper Queen Mining Co, of New York and Bisbee, which reached here this week, is received with gratifica- ton and natural pride on the part of the many friends of the popular and efficient manager of the Phelps Dodge interests in this section
 The circulars, issued from the of fee of the president of the railroad, in New York, reached Bisbee but few days since. They tell of the crea- tion of a new office in the manage ment of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad, that of second vice-president, and the choice of Walter Douglas on the part of the directors to fill the new office.
 Walter Douglas, general manager of the Copper Queen Consolidated Min. ing Co.. and managing director of the Fl Paso & Southwestern, has been identified with the management of the Phelps-Dodge interests in Arizona for the past six years. Prior to that time Mir. Douglas had spent several years in the employ of the company. working up from the bottom rung of the lad der to the exalted position he now holds as representative of the presi- dent in theN West"
 His popularity among the mining nen of the territory and the rank and file of Bisbee's population is no less than his marked ability as a manager of vast mining and railroad interests.
 Mir. DougTas has been identified with the upbuilding of Bisbee since the time when he first came here, fresh from his studies in school, and his liberali- ty in all matters of public interest have been marked by a willingness to lend his aid in all matters that per tain to the public veal
 Mir. Douglas duties will be little changed by the new honor accorded him by the Phelps-Dodge Co.,, as he has been in close touch with every de- tail of their affairs in the west for sev- eral years.

The plans for this fence around the
game preserve were prepared by
some clerk who had never visited
the preserve and knew absolutely
nothing about its topography or the
conditions. The plans and speciflca-
uons call for fifteen miles OF wire
fence, seven feet and four inches high
with post sixteen feet apart. There
are to be twenty-five horizontal wires
and sixteen perpendicular wires to
the rod. The posts are to be cut,
peeled, piled up four months and then
creosoted. In order to construct this
fence it will require 10000 pounds
Of wire.
Nine miles of this fence must be
built through granite rock that would
require the use of dynamite to dip
the post holes and remove boulders.'
Col E. F. Mitchell who has been
figuring upon bidding upon the con-
struction OF the fence, says that It
can't be build under the present
