MORE FIGHTING.

According to semi.oficial information
received at the Spanish legation at Tan
gier, yesterday, the French forces st
Osssblanca, under the command OF Gen.
Drude. suffered serious repulse at the
hands of the Moors Monday. Moorish
troops estimated to number 1000 men,
and equipped with deld guns and modern
rifles, not only drove the French back
to the city wall, but menaced the town
TO the extent that the authorities found
it expedient to request aid from span
ish war ship in the harbor TO repel the
attack.
The French troop ship Artois left
Tangier last night hurriedly with troops
and machine guns on board. This force
is going 10 the assistance Of Caid Anhoos.
A dispatch from Csssblsnca, dated
Sunday, says, the timely arrival OF Gen.
Drude with reinforcements alone saved
Col. de Freytsy's accommodating column
from humiliation near Taddert. The
arrival of re-enforcements turned the
tide, and, with loss Of one officer and
two men killed aud nine wounded, the
French left moro than sixty Moors dead
| on the field.

MAKING ASSESSMENTS.

The several county assessors In Ari- zona have begun the work listing the property of the territory next fall. From every section comes reports of general prosperity of the various in- dustries and it is likely that property values will be shown to have largely increased since last year. This will certainly be the case in Cochise coun- " where the principal industries are cattle and mines. The good seasons 4. the past three years have brought unusual prosperity to the cattlemen and farmers of the entire territory
 After the assessors have completed their. work it will become the duty of the boards of supervisors of tho terri. tory to go over the assessment books of each county and after hearing com plaints of property owners, equalize the assessments of the property of all owners.
 For several years in the past it has been the custom for the territorial board of equalization to call the as- sessors of the territory to the capital for the purpose of instructing them in their duties in the woES of making property assessments. Such a re- quest by the territorial board of equal ization should be ignored in the fu- ture. The territorial board of equali- zation has nothing to do with the county assessments and any attempt to instruct the county assessors by the territorial administration Is no thing more than an exhibition of a desire to butt into" something that is no business of the territorial admin istration or any of its officers. The law provides that county assessments be made by officers chosen by the peo- pie of the several counties, who, 1t may be assumed, are perfectly capa- ble to give instructions as to how the work shall be done. When the county assessments have been completed it becomes the duty of the territorial board to make such equalization as between the value of the various classes of property in the several counties as it may deem just and proper, but the county assess ments are to be made by the county officers who are in no way amenable to the territorial administration or the board of equalization.
