Our Bond Issues.

There has been considerable specu-
lation concerning the bonds issued by
Graham county and what disposition
was made of the money, the prevail
ing opinion being that the court
house was responsible for the indebt-
edness. AS a matter of fact the
county did not pay an excessive price
for the improvements and they are
responsible for but small proper
tion of the debt.
The court house, as constructed in
1882, cost $4,000, the fence $500 and
the square was donated. The ex-
pense was charged to the general
fund.
For a number of years the claims
allowed by the boards of supervisors
were far in excess of the revenues of
the county, and the bond issues of
1889 and 1892 we're for the purpose of
redeeming the outstanding interests
bearing warrants. At the latter
date these warrants aggregated
nearly S15O,OOO.
The reason for this big deficiency
was the excessive prices paid for the
public service. As illustratigg this
it may be noted that in 1884 the
county paid these items:
sheriffs Office fees and mileage Sl9.647 5!
District attorney, fees and salary 5,224 4!
Advertising and other printing 6,O55 Al
In 1906 these items were respect
lively, 81, 367.7O, s2,655.2O and 81, 288.95
a saving on three items alone OF
nearly 10000.
The county is now paying the bonds
at the rate of $1,000 a year. The
following is a statement of the bond;
issued:

One of the biggest mining deals
that has been consummated in Tomb
stone for a long time was closed last
week with Minnesota people through
Pickett & Bowman, of Tombstone,
for copper property in the state of
Sonora. The property is said to have
one of the biggest surface showings
in the state of Sonora, near Hermo-
sillo, and was exported about amonth
ago by Mr.. Loranger, a mining expert
of Duluth, and upon his report the
property was bonded for 100000.
Mr.. Loranger is mining man of
more than thirty years experience,
and so conservative that, when he
examines property no other expert
is sent to review his work. 1t is eX-
pected by those who know the prop
erty that it will develop into one of
the biggest copper mines in the state
of Sonora. The Minnesota people
left Tombstone for Sonora to begin
work on the property, accompanied

Thinks iighIy Of Bisbee's Mines.

Professor E. P. McCarty, member
of the faculty of the University of
Minnesota, who has been travelling
through the western states during
the past few weeks, arrived in Bis
bee last week and was shown through
the mines of the Calumet & Arizona
company by several members of the
engineering corps who were formerly
pupils of his.
Since leaving the middle western
states Professor McCarty visited the
various mining districts Of Utah,
parts of Colorado and several prop
critics in California. Never having
visited the Warren district before,
and being well acquainted with its
history, he decided to take advantage
of the opportunity to visit the mines
of this section.
When seen at the Copper Queen
Hotel by a Review reporter and asked
for an expression of his opinion in re-
gard to the districts he has visited,
Professor McCarty said
GOT course as far as the amount of
development work which has been
accomplished, and volume of wealth
produced and in sight, the Warren
district is very much greater than
any of the other sections which I
have visited. Although L haYe only
had slight opportunity so far to
Judge tor myself the great wealth of
the mines in this section, having
made a hurried trip through the
Calumet & Arizona properties, yet
EEL that there is not the slightest
exaggeration in stating that the
mineral deposits here are among the
greatest so far discovered.
"The formation in the Warren dis
tricL can scarcely be said to resem-
BILE that of any other locality which
have visited on my present trip, the
immense blanket deposits of this dis.
trict being absent from the others.
1.-THE closest resemblance to the
formation surrounding Bisbee which
have seen was in Utah, but ever
that resemblance was only slight
However the districts of Bingham
Eureka and others of Utah are prac
tically undeyeloped as yet, and may
in the future approach the standard
achieved in Bisbee.''
Professor McCarty visited the
Copper Queen company, and left fol
the east, not having the time to visi
the Globe district, which he expresseC
himself as being very DESTROYS o
seeing.

With the production of the mines
of the United States, Mexico and
Canada l7,0O0,OOO pounds less than
the production of the first five
months of 1906, it is very evident
that the 1907 output of this country
will not show an increase over last.
This fact should play an important
part in maintaining copper prices in
the face of continued unprecedent-
ed consumption of the metal.
Butte production in May fell of
nearly 100000 pounds, and Arizona
production decreased several million
pounds, while the Lake showed a
small increase.
Canada production was materially
reduced by strikes, but Utah showed
an increase principally by reason OF
the increased output of the Boston
Consolidated and the Cactus. The
Garfield smelter of the American
Smelling ard Refining company is
now treating 1000 tons of ore per
day, which is largely new copper pro-
duction compared with a year ago.

particularly in the districts named;
to establish general mercantile stores
provided that intoxicant liquors are
not sold; to build one or more rail-
roads for transportation of ores to
the plants; to build telegraph and
telephone lines needed; to build
hydraulic plants for the development
of power and for the transmission of
power, using the water of the Rio
1 Aros and other rivers or streams de-
sired; TO open wagon roads as found
necessary in developing the industries
mentioned.
The capital to be invested in these
enterprises is to be exempt from
state and municipal taxes for d
period of twenty years; during the

vANDALS NOT APPREHENDED.
Damage at Henry School Building
Greater Than First Reported.

The damage done at the Henry public
school building yesterday morning by
vandals, as stated in The Star, was much
greater than the school authorities and the
police thought when they visited the build
ing yesterday. 1t was found that so much
water had been turned on that the cell
ings in several of the rooms fell later in
the day. The building was In such condi-
ton that it was impossible to hold ses-
sion of the school yeste. lay or today but
Supervising Principal Patterson stated this
morning that the sessions will be resumed
Monday morning.
Plasterers were at work in the building
yesterday and today, and 1t Is thought tho
new plaster will be sufficiently dry by
Monday morning to make it safe for the
children and teachers to occupy the rooms
In the meanwhile the children and teach
ers are having a holiday 1t is possible
that the depreciation was committed by
one of the pupils to force the temporary
closing of the building. although the police
have an idea that it done by some
boy who wanted to get even for some
fancied wrong.
Precinct Detective Fortney of the sec
ond precinct and the policemen who do
duty about the vicinity of the school are
working on the case. 1t was stated at the
police station today that the identity of
the yandal had not yet been fully estab-
lished and that arrest had been made

WANT ORDER RESCINDED.
Fraternal Order Of Eagles Asks I'M
munity From Fire Escape Law.

r. F. Downing. attorney for the Fraternal
order of Eagles, accompanied by several
members of the order, appeared before the
commissioners at public hearing this
morning relative to the application of the
new fire escape law to their building at the
corner of 9th and z streets northwest In
view of the fact that this building is more
than thirty feet in height the erection of
a fire escape has been ordered by the build
ing inspector, and the representatives OF
the order at the hearing contended that
the building has ample exits in the form of
stairways and that 1t is otherwise con-
structed ana used as not to make the cree
ton Of fire escapes necessary. They also
asked to be relieved of the requirement be-
cause of the expense that would be attach
ed to such an erection.
The Commissioners took the matter under
aLvisement and concluded the hearing by
announcing they would make a decision

Asked about rumor that he had met
Gen. Reyes of Colombia and had conferred
with him about project for knocking out
Castro, Gen. Hernandez shrugged his Shout
ders and remarked that he could not regu-

Gen. Hernandez was Castro's most formi-
dable opponent in the revolution which re-
suited in victory for Castro. and he was
considered an unsafe person to be at large
after the revolution was over. He was
locked up in prison more than three years,
and then Castro, wishing, Hernadezs
friends say. to get rid of him. patched up
peace with him and sent him to Washing
ton as Venezuea's minister in 1908. He had
been in Office about three months when his
pay was stopped. Later he was dismissed
and ordered never to set foot In Venezuela
