 TAXES.
(FrUn Fridsy's Daiiy)

TOMBSONE. Public Examiner W. c. Foster has l~cn in the city dur. ing The past two days, collecting cvi- dencc. fncts and hgures in the matter of bnck taxes. in the ease of the Cop per Queen company, to be u~sl by AHr"rncy Gencrai Clark in the cnsc which hc expects to bring during the next few weeks against the Copper Quecn company for tack taxes alleged tr bc due since t'S year 1901.
 The attorney general stated, while in this eity, during the month of July lhst, tluu il WAS at the suggest ion of tbc governor thnt the case is to be tahcp up again 'su the belief thnt the ssme poiuts thm governed the rnit~l Verde cnSe from Yavapai county. that wns tried lw the Suprcm. Court, vo',ll apply to the Copper Queen case.
 The case occupied the attention of the various courts of the territory from lDO1 to 1904 and was the cause of much comment and speculation. The matter 6r~t starred when the Board of Supervisors, netting as board of equalization, in tNc year 1901. com. po~~si of q. B. Rcny, Thos. York and r. !. Delchnnty, rsised the assessment of the Copper Queen company some $2, ,i6l ,s95 ever the amount of s553,5it. ns turned in by County Assessor Walter Fife. at that time. In August of that year. the Copper Queen com pnny, through their attorneys. filed mn injunction suit agains, the Board of Supervisors and the county treasurer from collecting or Ievying on more taxes than the sum of sS,i32.6s. which the company agreed io pay on the orig. inaI 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 Sup ervisors, composed of Messrs. York.

 "Gradiug and excavation work for the new mill Co be erected on the Gold Leaf and Snowshoc groups of mines. m the Cherry Creek district, is now finished, the machinery for the mill has been purchased in the east an Is now cn route to the camp. and made the purchase of all the lumber ncces. sary for the frame work of the plant and the buildings to bc erected. in this city today,' said l.. x. wombachcr. who is interested with D. F. Parks in these promising properties.
 "Thc power in the mills.'' he s.,u. twill bc furnished by A Pclton water wheel. which will bc constructed with specially made buckets intended to in. crease the power of the wheel. nnd the mill purchased is of the Lloyd pat. cnt grinding stamp pattern, which by actual test has been proven to be well adapted io the economic treatment of the class of ores in our mines.v
 "Thcrc is enough ore already block cd ont in the mines to keep tho plant on steady run, day and night. for year. and as soon as ii is installed, force of miners will he put to work on the properties ana the mining and development of the ground continued io a business like way
 Further conversation with Mir. wom. bachcr developed the fact that there was an excellent ore showing in his mines. Al inc bottom of q 4j.foot shaft on the Gold Leaf mine. the pay. streak covers its entire width. Work was discontinued here on account of tho large amount of water encountered and it is the intention Co install q hoist and pump there as soon ns the building of tho mill is completed and the. work of sinking the shaft to n greater depth resumed.
 On the Snowshoc n vertical shaft 1jO feet deep taps the ledge. which dips at an angle of about 60 degrees to the west, al n depth of about 25O feet from its apex. \ drift run along the vein south from the bottom of this shaft exposes a body of ore three and chalf feet in thickness. which is free milling and of good grade.
 The Gold Leaf group includes five claims, while the Snowshoc minc is covered ny two locations, the ledgcs in both showing continuous and strong throughout the locations being opened by a number of shallow shafts and tun. ncls. in which The ore appears to be of uniform grnslc.
 The camp is situated about lj miles east of Dewey, the nearest railroad station on ,hc Bradshaw Mountain rail. road, from wwbich all frcigh' and sup. plies arc hauled by wagon.

MINERAL BELT WITH A FUTURE
(From Fridays Daily)

During his visit here three years ago. heard Prof. Linderman say that b't of country about two miles "ide and one mile east of the Senator mine, passing through Mount Union, would eventually prove, with develop. mcnt, to be among the richest in Ari. @ona' and tho new strike made there during the past few months more than confirms the opinion then rendered by the noted geological expert" said F.. F. Breed, last evening, to n Journal. miner man.
 "Thc Mount Union country" he said, "is fast attracting the attention Of mining men to i,s resources. The phenomenal strikes made in the Storm Cloud, Senator and Mount Union prop. critics have proven the fact that the values in the ores increase with depth as well as the size of the ore bodies. and negotiations are now pending. as the result of il which is almost certain that all of inc principal properties on the west side of Mount Union will change hands within . very short time.
 John McKinnon recently struck some high grade gold ore in his Bruce claim. Associated with the gold valucs in the ore there is whitish metal. which is mallablc and no, susceptible to the action of nitric acid. This new metal IS quite q curiosity to ihc mining men and prospcctors of the district. the majority of whom believe thnt it is platinum. Mir. McKinnon is now get. ling samples of inc new find ready to be expressed to Denver specialists to determine the identity of the new metal.
 "l was rewarded, a few days ago. by making a strike of what may turn into n valuable body of ore. At n depth of a few feet in the vein I m. covered small streak of high grade silver ore, which wrlcncd out to four Inches in about six feet. and which as. says over 300 ounces to the ton. The ledge upon which 1 made this ind is located about 900 feet east of the cast line of Inc old Jeff Davis ranch, ssso- ciatcd with great dyke which cuts through inc section in northcfly and souiherly direction.

 Meanwhile. however. the South is apt to get touch of torrid weather, the ceasing of rains in the Southwest and in the Mississippi Valley being followed by a steady rise in tempera- ture. the average of which for the New Orleans district figured S6 today for the districts of Mobile and Vicksburg, 90, and for the district of Galveston 92, the mercury at points In Louisiana hav- ing worked. up to above 100, Alexan- dria reporting 1d5 degrees.

 New Orleans. Aug. 23.-In anticipa- ton of further decline in the market renewed selling on the part of shorts in Liverpool resulted in "a loss there of about 9 points, values aE one time yesterday. The reason assigned for this movement was related in cables claiming crop accounts af damage by insects in Texas to have been very much exaggerated,- also to the want of a sy,0t demand, sales of latter only amounting to 5,G0O at decline of 10 points middling 5.34.
 Sentiment 1T. American being bearish, probably more so than in England, the expression of feeling was manifested in an opening that was about $1 per bale lower than yesterday, October sell at close of last evening Weather con ditions were, on the whole, favorable, for while further rains were noted in the South Atlantic States, the central and western portions of cotton region were favored with fair weather There was no incentive offered lrngs to sup port market which was practically at She mercy of shorts. who, no doubt. have confidence in tn air position and a bearish September bureau report also perhaps in a record breaking census report on amount Of new cotton ginned ports of The New York Journal of Commerce which are usually issued in piecemeal fashion, and generally dwell upon the progress of the crop in the Atlantic States. and which are usually published about one week in advance of Government report, are expected to be bearish owing to private advices reporting improvement for that sec tion of the belt during the past month as a result a more favorable weather

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, Aug 23-A reported loss of 20 per. cent. in the wheat crop of Russia caused sharp advance in the price of wheat to- day on the local exchange. At the close wheat for September delivery was up ssc. caliy unchanged. Provisions were 2Mc to 10c lower.
 The rally in the, wheat market came about the middle of the session Prior to that time sentiment had inclined to the bear side of the market because of easier cables and an increase in the receipts of point being 25 cars The message from Russia declared that the crop had suffer heavy rains in the southern part of the country It was also intimated that an
 official ukase will probably be issued pro-
 from Russia The report although gene rally discredited, caused a lively demand

 Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 210 cars. against 46S cars last week and 176 cars one year ago. Rains in Nebraska weakened the prices Of corn early in the session but later sentiment became bullish chiefly because of the ad- vance in wheat. Local longs were mod crate sellers early in the day, while com mission houses were the chief buyers The late upturn was aided to some extent by light country acceptanees and the continued small stocks of contract corn. The market closed strong with prices at the highest point of the day. September opened A | a %c lower at 47Mc to 4sc. sold off to 4T%c and then advance to 4S% @4S%c..

By Private Wire to Loveman 6 Co.,, Sc
 Commerce Street.
 New Orleans, La, Aug. 23.--Liverpool was very disappointing this morning. Futures closed there at decline of 8 to points on all positions. Spots were in small business at easier prices. Sales amounted to 5000 bales. Mfd- ding American lost 10 points at 5.34. The weakness at Liverpool caused a break In our market at the opening of 19 to 21 points.
 The selling principally came from some Of the local operators who in anticipation of higher market had bought cotton. Trading was rather limited and the feature of the trading during the session today was the cov- ering by shorts on this decline which kept the market rather steady up to the midday call But as the day pro- gressed the market showed no tend ency to react due mostly to more fa- vorable conditions coming in and the lack of spot demand. The weather map, indicates very little rain over the cotton belt, with temperatures rather high. While we have been fa- voring reaction, we now begin to think that the buying today was cov- 'ering by satisfied shorts and we think that the best policy is to pursue con- servative tack for the present.
 Yours truly,
 Ioveman & Go.
