The district attorney of the county has notified the attorneys for J. P. Storm that another case of the territory vs. J. P. Storm is to be tried. This is another count in the embezzle, ment charge. If the chaps who robbed the county treasury bad known the wide, re-echoing, re. bounding and endless ramifica- tions of that transaction, they would probably have let the treasury alone and hitched their tow line to Thumb Butte, pulled the whole county up by the roots, packed it off and left only a yawning black hole where it was.-Prescott Courier.

R. F. Wheeler, general mana. ger of the Big Sandy mining company, was in Kingman this week. He reports that he has sunk a shaft on the Nonpareil mine, near the old McCracken, to a depth of no feet and that fine ore shows in the bottom. The outcrop on the vein shows good values in silver and lead, average samples of big streaks running as high as 66 per cent of lead. Another shaft has been started on the vein $50 feet from number one, which will be sunk to a depth of several hundred feet. The ore in part of the vein re- sembles that of the McCracken and carries values in silver. A holster will soon be placed on the property and the shafts sunk to great depth. The vein will be crosscut from wall to wall in the immediate future. -Mohare Go. Miner.

Ut is remarkable how that city is growing" is 8 com mon remark of Yuma visitors to the old pueblo. The special edi- tion of the Citizen tells why it is growing.

Jail Break Rolled.

Three desperate prisoners in the county jail made an attempt to gain their liberty Tuesday night, but failed owing to the vigilance of Night Watchmau Wood. One of the three was the big negro, Will Jones, who is wanted for murdering a police man at Houston, Texas. The others were Murillo, the one legged Mexican who killed an. other Mexican in| the Rincon ten days ago, and Joaquin Nogales, the KOfa incendiary. The men were confined in one cell, and the negro broke the lock on the inner door and they were trying to escape through the outer one, when discovered by the watch man. MT. Wood fired, the shot grazing the MeXlcan's head and singeing his halr. The prison CTS retreated to the inner cell. where the officers found them huddled together and much de- iected over their failure to es. cape. Under Sheriff Riley shack led the prisoners and had 2 stronger lock put on the cell door. Their opportunities now for getting away are not propi- tious. Houston officers have since arrived and the sheriff's office has been relieved by the departure of the Texas negro to the scene of his crime.

A monument has just been erected at Raleigh, N. C., to En- sign Worth Bagley, the only American naval officer who was killed during the war with Spain. Bagley fell doing his duty on the Winslow at Cardenas, and the monument is only a fitting tribute to a gallant and loyal young officer. But at the same time there are some of the men in that war who were not killed and whose services, though just as conspicuous, have never been recognized. For instance there was a marine, just common en- listed man, and probably every one has forgotten even his name by this time, who stood on a ridge at the battle of Cusco Mountain and wig-gagged to the American fleet to stop firing when they were tossing shells inland into the ranks of the Am ericans under the impression that they were shelling the Span iar6s. He had to get up from under cover and was target for 300 Spanish rifles all the while he was signalling. Why they did not kill him nobody could ever understand. But they did not, and he returned to the ranks with the satisfaction of duty we'll performed, and noth- ing else. 1t does seem as though even at this late day he might be looked up and something done for him. Honor to the dead is fitting and proper. but 1t would be lot of satisfaction to the liv- ing sometimes to get a little of what is due them.

No Bed Rock.

The Mohave Miner says:
 Bridge contractors have visited tbe proposed site of the railroad bridge near parker and are making surveys on which to base estimates of the cost of a structure across the Colorado liver. Owing to the nature of the bed of the river the piers will have to be built with large aprons of concrete to hold the piers in position on the upper crust of hardpan. Tests have shown that the hardpan only covers another bed of quicksand and if the weight of pier breaks through this there is no telling where it will go to. Some of the engi- neers are rather skeptical on the sub- Ject of getting the center piers of the bridge to stand, but if the bridge con- paniesstake the chance only they will be injured should collapse come.

Copper Queen Mining Tax Case.

FR>A S~~AA eA<A SESSSs
 The supreme court of the United States has decided the tax case known as the Copper Queen against the territorial board of equalization in favor of the territory. The case arose from the horizontal rlse of min- ing property in Cochise county two years ago from that returned by the assessor to fifteen hun dred per cent above, which raise was resisted by the Copper Queen in behalf of itself and the other mine owners of the county. The territorial courts sustained the contention of the territorial board of equalization that it had the right to raise the valuation by classes in each county, but that the work had been improp- erly done. The supreme court of the United States takes the same view of the matter. It is not certain that this decision will entail the payment of the tax by the Copper Queen and other mine owners, but simply defines the power of the territorial board.
