A Very Funny
 Arizona Editor

An exchange of recent date makes the following somewhat remarkable statement:
 The backbo of Rev. J. A. Crouch, of Me.a, Arizona, grew too long and gave him great pain. Re took it 10 Los Angeles and had two joints re- moved, and is reported to be getting along all righ..-Prescott Courier.
 We think the reverend gentleman used good judgment in personally &C., cempanying his backbone from Mess to Los Angeles for treatment. He has very likely, like the most of us, suffered vexstious delays in waiting for C. O. D. shipments. Just think of man living in & hot climate that, walking the floor seven long veeks waiting for his backbone to be un- coupled, riyeted and returned to him. He would wilt; that's all there is to it. Yes, he certainly did the right thing by going right along with it.

BEYOND THE HILLS.
BY NED WHITE.

Twas evening, and the suns last ray | Was bidding its adieu to Day Casting shadows in the glade In a forest green where lovers
 strayed, As hand in hand they went their way Down the path where the nymphs
 played. They fingered long in a shady bower. Heedless of the twilight hour; They had many things to teil, And all too soon must say farewell. The boys young heart with rapture
 fills
 As he pictures a future beyond the Brightand clear was the summer sky Or the river bank they said good
 bye; He out West to the Golden State, She with patient heart to wait; A nsmeless joy his bosom fills As he journeys away beyond the
 hills. Bu. alas for youth, alas for maid, Who through the sisles of the forest
 strayed- Who said farewell in the shady bower, On the river bank in the twilight
 hour; Doubt and fear her sad heart fills, So few return from beyond the hilIs. There'. legend of, told or the rainbow bright and pot of
 gold. But we never learn the truth Till our hair turns gray, When we've lost our youth Thus the loving lad and lass Saw the hue of the rainbow pass. In the distant West there's q grave, Where the giant cactus wave. Some, ger chance, as they pass that
 way,
 Tell of youth who went astray- But they little think of the grief that that fills

A Comet is

Thsre is a new comet in the heavens and can be plainly seen from any point in Arizona about } o'clock in the morning, and Tombstoneites have an opportunity to view the phencm- ena The Phoenix Republican was the first of the Arizona papers to call attention to the new visitor, which has come unheralied by astronomers:
 It. is in the eastern heavens at sn altitude of perhaps less than 40 de- grees. The tail, which is long and flowing with slight curvature, ap- pears distinct. The nucleus by the way has the appearance of star oi the first magnitude. The tail ap- pears to be divided, sweeping back wards from above and below the neucleus.
 Yesterday morning the comet wa: even more distinct, though it was sur rounded by cloudy conditions sim lal to those of the previous morning

cochise County Tax Rate

some people are arguing that as the assessed valuation of the county is twice what it was last year that the tax rate should he cut in two, but in that they gre wrong, for the county is growing; and then, too, as the county grows so grows the expense. And there was deficit last year, and some Of the bonds are to be paid of this year. However, on a conservative es- timate the rate ought to be about Sl.1j, and not to exceed Sl sj. But rate of Sl I5 would meet the wishes of the people, who have been led to expect such a rate by the numerous press figures given out over the coun- try.

Territorial Board
 Meets Next Week

Charles Bowman, member of the
 territorial board of equalization from
 the first judicial district, will leave
 next week for Phoenix to attend the meeting of the board, which me,its on Tuesday next.
 The board will go over the at .tracts oi the vsrioEs assessment rolls ss turn ed m by the clerks of the boe1es O; supervisors oi the different counties al the territory. ltis not expected that the territorial board will make many material changes in the assessments.
 For number of years past the as. sessment on mining claims has been the bone oi contention between the various county boards and the terri .cr:al administration, but ss the Legislature has made the tax on p-o- duction of mines, this feature has been eliminated.
 Whether or not the territorial board will raise the value placed on the patented mines in this county by the county board of $I5 per acre on patented mines that are being work ked but are not producers, and 5 per acre on patented mines not working. remains to be seen. The county ss- ses.0r, c. R. Howe, had them on the rolls at s2o and sl0, respectively, and the board, when in session as a board | of equalization, made the proposed reduction, which will take of the rolls about sloO,OCO.
 Outside of this feature it is doubt ful Il any changes will be made in the assessments turned in by the assessor, as the valuations that have been plac- ed on the various classes of property in the county by the assessor, will compare most iavorably with those turned in by any other county in the territory.
 The territorial board will, at its meeting, fix the tax rate of the terri. ,ory to be levied on each $l0o of valu- 'ti,n, which is expected to be about Q cents this year, according to the 'ieNs of Mir. Bowman The rate last c ear was 75 cents, while the year be- ? ore it was placed at 95 cents,
