COPPER QUEEN WILL. RE SUED
 FOR TAXES
Attorney General Clark Work ing Up the Evidence He Ex- poets to Use in the Copper Queen Back Tax Case.

TOMBSTONE, Sept 11.-Public Ex-
 aniner w.. c. Foster has been in the
 city during the past two days collect
 ing evidence, facts and figures in the
 matter of back taxes. in the case of
 the Copper Queen company, to be
 used by Attoney General Clark in the
 case which he expects to bring during
 the next few weeks against the Cop
 per Queen company for back taxes
 aEeged to be due since the year 1901.
 The attorney general stated while
 in this city. during the month of July
 last, that 1t was at the suggestion of
 the governor that the case is to be
 taken up again on the belief that the
 same points that governed the United
 Verde case from Yavapai county,
 that was tried in the Supreme Court, would apply to the Copper Queen case. The case occupied the attention of
 the various courts of the Territory from 1901 to 1904 and was the cause
 of much comment and speculation. The matter first started when the Beard of Supervisors, acting as a
 beard of equalization. in the year 1901 composed of G. B. Reay, Thos
 York and P. J. Delahanty. raised the assessment of the Copper Queen com papy some $2,464 .S95 over the amount
 of s553,514. as turned in by County
 Assessor Waiter Fife at that time. In August of that year the Copper Queen company through their attor- . ueys filed an injunction suit against he Board of Supervisors and the county treasurer from collecting or lowing On more taxes than the sum of s9l3 .64, which the company agreed 10 pay on the original assessment. After the papers were served on the defendants the matter came up in the district court and was tried and the
 injunction was made permanent. An | appeal was taken to the Supreme
 Court in 1902. and was pending there
 when the Board of Supervisors, com DC sed of MessTs. York. Pritchett and Bowen. affected 9 compromise with the Copper Queen company and ac- cepjed an additional payment of s566i.44 which, according to the arti-
 c1es of the agreement was to be full payment, satisfaction and acquitance of any and all sums of money due or to become due from said company in any way whatsoever for or on account of taxes levied and assessed against
 said company for the year 1901. Of

the compromise money received $500O of it was paid to Messrs. England, Mo Farland and Edwards, special counsel in the case for the county, and the county received the balance.
 In June, 1904, O. Gibson. who had been appointed as tax attorney, asked for writ of mandamus against M. D. Scribner, county treasurer, to compel him to place the back taxes against the Copper Queen company on the back tax book for the year 1901, and all subsequent years, which amounted to about s99,000, claiming that the Board of Supervisors had no right to compromise the same. The matter was argued in the courts at some length, and was finally dismissed by the court without prejudice. About the time this matter was ended here the United Verde case had been ap- pealed to the Supreme Court from Ya- vapai county and involved about the same questions.
 The amount of the taxes, costs, pen alties and interest are being figured up by the public examiner and when con- pleted will be turned over to Treasur- CT Gaines for placing on the back tax books. When this has been done the papers will then be fixed for bringing suit in the district court and which will be done in time so that the case will come up for trial during the Oc- tober term of the district court.
 The amount involved at this time is said to be lillte over s100,000 and the outcome of the case will be watch ed with interest.

YAQUI W0M AN BEATS HER
 HOSTESS
After Dropping in for a Sociable Chat, the Yaqui Turns
 Pugilist,

There were lively times on Chihua- hua Hill on Monday afternoon, and as
 result Mrs. Octavia Estrada appear
 ed before Judge Murphy yesterday af- fternoon. and displayed variety of contusions and bruises which had
 been administered very generously by
 several neighbors. The woman told
 a story of deep wrong done her. and
 the Justice issued warrants for the ar
 rest of Yaqui woman and Mexican
 woman
 When the officers went to the resi-
 dence of the two women, the Mexican
 Amazon had disappeared, but the
 Yaqui woman was taken before the
 Justice and ararigned on a charge of
 disturbing the peace. She pleaded
 not guilty, and proceeded to state that 1t was not her fault at all. but that the blame lay entirely with the complain ing witness.
 Silveria Lora and Sylvester Juarez were summoned as witnesses for the prosecution, and the Justice proceeded to examine the witnesses Silveria Lara testified that the com
 planning witness lived in one of her
 rooms. and that on Monday the Yaqui
 woman, who had been drinking. called on Mrs. Estrada. She said that she heard commotion. and running to
 the window. she saw the Yaqui woman and another Mexican woman hammer ing Mrs. Estrada. She said that she told them to desist. but they applied
 some very opprobrious terms to her. and kept up the fusiiade on Mrs. Es- trada's face She said that she went to a peighbor's house and stayed there until late in the evening. The next witness was Sylvester
 Juarcz, but his testimony was not ma terial.
 The appearance of Mrs. Estrada with two black eyes. badly lacerated jaw. and the marks of teeth on her
 arm was proof conclusive that she had been in row.
 After examining the defendant the Justice concluded that she was guilty as charged. and sentenced her to ten
 days in the county jail. also giving her
 piece of good advice on account of
 her past record.

Early in the war between the states,
before General Lee had demonstrated
his pre-eminence as the southern lead
er, he vas severely criticised on more
than n occasion by a certain General
Whiting. Whiting had stood at the
head of his class at West Point and
was considered not only by himself,
but by others, as a very bright and
capable man. One day President Da-
Wis, wishing al officer for some highly
important command. called upon Gen
eral Lee for advice.
"What do you think of Whiting?'
asked Davis.
Lee answered without hesitation,
commencing Whiting as one Of the
ablest men in the army. well qualified
In every way for even the most re-
sponsible position. One of the officers
present vas greatly surprised and at
the first opportunity drew Lee aside.
Don't you know what unkind things
Whiting has been saying about your
