RAILROAD TAXES
GET BIG RAISE
Arizona Board Of Equalization Takes
Radical Action-Fifty Per Cent
Increase.

Phoenix, Ariz., June S.-The Arizona
Board of Equalization at the end of
three days session yesterday made
series of radical raises in the valu.
alton of property Of the Southern Pa,
cifc Railroad for taxation, of the Pull
man Company, the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, and the railroads incorpo-
rated In this Territory.
This action followed hearings at
which representatives of the railroads
appeared but which failed to influence
the board in its determination to Sc.
cure fairer valuation of railroad prop.
erty in this Territory, valuation
which has been ridiculously low in the
past. A year ago the board made
raises in the assessed valuation of
mining property which resulted In a
test ease In the local courts in which
the action Of the board was sustained
and 1t is expected that the present
action of the board will result in liti.
cation. The Arizona railroads claim
exemptions of various kinds which
have in the past relieved them of a
large portion of taxation and their
assessment has been very low. The
action of the board is surprise, as il
was not believed the members would
vote to make any large increase In
railroad valuations. The members oi
the board are J. H. Page, member al
large; T. F. Wilson, of Tucson; Chas
F. Solomon, of Solomonville; F. H
Parker, of Phoenix; T. J. Coulter, OF
Flagstaff, and Charles Newman, Of
Tombstone.
Valuation Increased $15,000,000.
A partial report made today by the
board infers that it has raised rail
road valuations obout fifty per cent
The Southern Pacific was valued last
year at little less than $1,000 mile;
this year its valuation is placed at $11,
900 a mile. The total taxation of the
company in Arizona is raised 100000
over last years figures, and the Crane
Canon Railroad, which was not taxed
heretofore, is listed for taxation by
the board. Total taxable valuation or
property in the Territory approximatet
last year $50,0OO,OOO and this year 4
is estimated that the valuation will bt
increased by $15,000,000.

FATAL FALL
SIX MINERS KILLED IN SHAFT AT
 CARLYLE, ILL.
Reversal of Machinery Causes Chute
 of Cage Down Four Hundred Foot Shaft-Flve Miners
 Buried Under Debris.


 St Louis, Decl I2g.--one miner ls | known to have been killed, Ave others are believed to be dead and another was seriously injured by the droppin g of the cage early today in the shaft of the Breeze Trenton Coal Mining Company. about ten miles west of Carlyle, III. Carlyle is torty-eight l miles east of St. Louis. The accident occurred as the second cage full of day shift miners was descending into the mine. The cage containing six men had descended 300 feet down the 400 foot shaft when it struck monentarily and then went crashing to the bottom with noise similar to an explosion.
 The known dead:
 August FOppey.
 Buried under debris and believed to be dead.
 Walter schanner. Herman F'later Henry Mddeke; Herman Hoffman. Frank SarNe
 The injured:
 William Fritz leg broken and body bruised.
 William Fritz was at the bottom of the shaft working almost 2nder the descending cage when he heard the shout of the miners above him as the cage struck. As he looked up the cage dropped and he barely had time to spring to the side when the crash came and debris was piled about him. His leg was broken and he was badly bruised At the bottom of the cage shaft is another hole called a sump. and portion of the debris plunged on down into the stump, carrying five of the miners with 1t. The sixth August Foppey. jumped as the crash came and was cut squarely in two. The debris was so tightly wedged into the mouth of the stump that it VIII likely be some hours before 1t can be removed. No sounds or cries have been heard com Ing from under the debris
 The stump or stump hole in a mine Is A drain hole into which the water that collects In the levels is drained It was stated that the stump in this mine contained fifteen feet of water and no doubt Is entertained but that the five miners were drowned If they had escaped death in the crash.
 The engineer stated that the cag. had descended smoothly and he pre- stunned 1t had safely reached the bot tom. Suddenly the cable coil drum began revolving backward with ter rife velocity and he heard a crash. It is believed that the cage stuck in the shaft and the sudden relaxation m the taut cable caused the hoisting machinery to reverse and drop the cage or else the cage became dlsengaged from the cable and dropped.
 Those miners who were already in the shaft immediately began rescue work, and as soon as others could be lowered every effort was made to speedily remove the debris.
 Miner Henry palt escaped death by the fnersst chance. He was just about to step fuso the cage and descend with the othe8 when he hurriedly countad tA- ~"~rh~- aI~4ady In the cage. the

 With a few minor changes fig ures in the new card are about the game as those given out by The Adver- tiser a few days ago. The most radi- cal changes are in trains No. 37 and No. 38. which will be the two finest trains operated in the South, running solid from Jersey City to New Orleans and vice versa. Train No. 3I VIII ar rive in Montgomery at 11:55 D. m. in- stead 0f s:20 p. m. From Jersey City to Atlanta and Montgomery ths tra!n will consist of seven cars, mail car.

Al t2sO1 a. m. this handsome llmite1 train will leave Montgomery for Mo bile and New Orleans with the addi ton of the Pensacola sleeper to oma- ton making eight cars out of ere. It will reach Flomaton at 3:20 a. m.. Mo bile at 5:20 a. m and New Orleans al s:45 a. m, making the run from Mont gcmery to Mobile in five hHI.S and twenty ulluulGb anu AEOFu u'iES AO sNO" Orleans in nine hours and forty-fre minutes. This train virtua ly takes the place of train NJ. 97-the New York and New Orleans fast mai,-which will be discontinued by the Southern. Wes- eern and Louisville and Nashville after January 5, 1907. Train No. 97 on y c ,r- gied a couple of postal cars and one day coach. while the new No. 37 w.ll be a palatial train with the same eau D. ment carried by the Twentieth Centu Limited, only passengers having Pull man tickets being allowed on it.
 At present the Louisville and Nash vile operates train No. 96 from New Orleans to Montgomery to bring back the equipment carried south by No. 97, ant also to take the local work off of train No. 2. When the new schedu es take effect this train will be d scnntin- ued as well as No. 97 and to take its place a companion solid vestihuled train to No. S7 will run between New Orleans and Jersey C'ty with the same equipment that No. 97 will have.

 He was called upon today to identify the signatures to a number of letters which passed between the McAndrews and Fobes Company and the J. s.

YounEl cne Of the defendants to the McAndrews and Forbes Company. The independent pen- pie MT Young wrote, were nervous over the situation and felt that there was some underst ending between the two corporations. His company, Mir Young continued had had rather hard time. explaining the situation ana it had placed them fin an unenviab!e position with the trade
 Mir. Young then described at great length a conversation he mad the day before of F J. Leyino. of Philadel- phia, and the latter's brother. 4. [ Levino, both interested in the licoricH
 
 point blank, the writer stated, if there was to be some understanding he- tween the Mo Andrews and Forbes Com pany and the J S. Young Company and the writer admitted that indirect ly he had told him such was the case

 He told the two men, he wrote that the trust had a supply sufficient to last it for several years. These state ments according to the letter, acted to shake the confidence of the Levines in the value of their Turkish conees sion.

Heavy Pansenecr TrnffIc.

Yesterday was the heaviest day that the holiday passenger traffic has de- veloped so far with the railroads and all day the employees at the union sta- tion had the hardest kind of work
 The Birmingham accommodation train came in two sections yesterday morn ing. every car on both trains packed to the limit, leaving in the afternoon in two heavily packed sections The Cen. tral of Georgia train also came in two sections yesterday morning with tro- mendous crowds on both trains. Every one of the other suburban trains that came into the car shed had from one to three extra coaches on 1t, and 1t would be difficult to estimate the number of people that swarmed through the gates during the day.
 The money left with the Montgomery merchants was indicated by the enor- nous number of na ckages in the af- ternoon. The parcel room at the sta tion was swamped early in the after noon and Dave Heilpern had gangs of boys watching bundles that were piled inside the lunch room and as far as the dining room.
 It was great dny for the Montgom- cry merchants but a sigh of thankful ness went up from every station of ficial when the last of the suburban trains started out of the shed.
