Joys of the Tourist in Egypt

Donkey riding in Luxor is one of the joys of the tourists, for the best ami mals in all Egypt are to be found here, and visit to the native shops, and later gallop along the banks of the Mic by twilight, is unique pleasure which remains long in the memory. Donkeys are hired by the day or by the hour, and the price by the day is only two shillings, with small back sheesh for the donkey boy who runs constantly behind. These donkey boys are marvels in the matter of endurance. It is fully twelve miles to the Tombs of the Kins and return, yet the donkey boys keep close behind all the way, whether one gallops or trots, and in ad- dition they carry lunch baskets, cam eras or any other paraphernalia that the tourist may wish to have along. The dragomans of Luxor are also ex- cellent, and far better than those found in Cairo. Upon the arrival of train or steamer small army of these guides rush up with cards extolling their vir- tues and stating their experience, trust worthiness, etc. One rather clever at reading faces picks out the American at once and tells him that he was drag oman to Bishop Potter, who made the Nile trip last year. Another, and a very good one-Mohammed Abdalla- claims attention because he helped George Ade to find the temples and tombs. Both had books filled with rec concentrations, and it was interesting to note the names and addresses from across the Atlantic. Some of the drag omans speak several languages in quaint fashion, although quite well enough to make themselves understood, and they are welcomed by the stranger, who has, outside of the hotels, heard nothing but Arabic spoken.-Leslie $ Weekly.

GRAHAM COUNTY
 SHOWS INCREASE
Taxable Valuation of Neighboring County Is Increased Over Last Year by Almost Million-Tax Rate This Year May Be Only S2 on Hundred.

The assessor of Graham county has completed his records for the current year so far as to be able to determine approximately what the taxable prop erty will total and states that it will reach the vast sum of $7,645,000, says the Guardian.
 This is an increase of $952 ,000, in round numbers, over last year, and doubtless insures a two-cent rate of tax ation, as the increase of value would produce enough revenue if the assess ment was fixed at that figure.
 When the present assessor took charge of the records five years ago, the tax roll totaled $3,970,000, and the tax rate was $4 on the hundred. The valuation this year is therefore nearly double what it was at. that time, and the in crease was brought about, not by vast amount of new property, but by assess ing large property owners at something near what was equitable. Thus the property owners who had been paying an unjust proportion of taxation have had their assessment total cut in half, providing the supervisors see fit to make the rate S2 on the hundred this year, as now seems probable. It is a record unequalled in the territory and one of (which the county may well feel proud. as follows, to-wit: To purchase, or A considerable amount of the raise this year was brought about through the operation of tho bullion tax law and the passage of that law in its present shape is largely due to the efforts of Messrs. John R. Hampton and w. w. Pace. A strong effort was made to pass this law assessing only 20 per cent of the gross output of the mines. These two gentlemen were not satisfied that this basis would yield the necessary revenue and at once communicated with the assessor of this county. That off cial went to Phoenix and gave our law makers the information they desired, pointing out to them that 20 Ter cent basis would reduce the assessment of the mining companies of this county althoug it would increase it in most of the others. Knowing that the assess ment made on the companies in this county last year was not too high, at this point MT. Hampton, ably assisted bv MT. Pace, took hold of the bullion tax bill. and in the face of the strong opposition of most of the companies and large number of the legislators, sue

Remarkable Miraee at Sea

Passengers on the Philadelphia, of the American line, which arrived yes terday from Southampton and Cher bourg, told of a remarkable mirage they had seen at sea. For more than an hour and half on Friday morning they watched the steamship Lorraine, of the French Line, out of sight under the horizon ahead of them appear as if suspended inverted in the sky. The sight drew all the passengers on deck, and, according to James l.. Rodgers, united States consul general at Shang- hai, 1t was the most uncanny sight he had over witnessed.
 'lt was about S:30 clock in the morning, he said, "and the sea was comparatively smooth, with a haze hanging over it. We could see the black smoke of the Lorraine ahead, but her hull was below the horizon, Sud denly in the heavens above the line of smoke appeared second black cloud, and the entire lines of the steamship quickly followed upside down. There was the French liner complete in every detail, steaming away to the westward, but, like the Flying Dutchman,' a veritable phantom. The mirage lasted for an hour and half, and at the time the Lorraine was about twenty-five miles ahead of us.--New York Herald.
