The democratic press of the terri
tory is busily engaged circulating a
governor. The same eminent
authority announces that Col. w. S.
Sturges, of Pima, will be the new
governor and G. A. Overlook, of
Douglas, marshal, and that a news
paper trust controlling the republi-
can newspapers of the territory has
been formed. The whole story is a
pipe dream.

The New Minin9 Tax Bill.

The new mining tax bill introduced
in the council is considered as most
radical measure.
Section l divides the mines into
two classes, producing and non-pro-
ducing. The producing mines are
also divided into two classes: Glass
A provides that a claim producing
$3.50 worth of ore in twelve months
prior to January l of the year in
which assessment is made, shall be
assessed, and section B provides for
the assessment of groups of claims
producing $3.50 or more in that
period.
The assessments under the law are
based on the production for the
twelve months prior to January 1,
1908, and every year thereafter in
similar manner.
Section 2 provides that all engaged
in mining must make a statement of
production to be filed some time be-
tween April and April 30, annually,
to the territorial auditor, with affi-
davit and showing location of prop
erty, the production of gold, silver,
copper and other ores and the
amount received for the sale of same.
Third-The assessor shall report
annually, showing the gross produc-
ton of each mine.
'Fourth-The total taxes shall be as
certained from valuation based on
stock quotations. For the purpose OF
a tax levy 20 per cent. of the total
shall be taken and levied upon.
Fifth-If the owner is not satisfied
with the assessment he may appeal
to the district court.
Sixth-Mills and all improvement:
on non producing mines shall be as
Certained by the assessor and shall
be assessed on the same basis as pro
ducing property is assessed.
Seventh-In non-producing mine.
everything shall be levied upon but
mines themselves.
Eighth the owner refuses tt
make statements to the assessor ht
may estimate it and enter it upor
the tax roll and the amount shall moi
be reduced, though the owner shall
have the right to appeal.
Nine-If a false statement is en-
tered the owner is guilty of perjury
Ten-The assessor may assess with
out regarding such statement, bu
the owcer may appeal.
Eleven-No other tax can be leyieC
or collected than are herein provided
and these taxes become lien or
property.
Twelve-The procedure of asses
sors, boards of supervisors and clerk,
shall be as at present.
Thirteen-The act repeats all con
fiicting with it.
Fourteen-The law becomes eff
fective upon passage and approval.
1t passed its first rea ding and 30(
