ARIZONA RECEIVES ATTENTION IN
 THE EAST
Investors sBecominglnter ested In Local
 Opportunities
Wfom Saturdays Daily.)

"Arizona in general, and Yavapai County in particular, is now receiving 2 great deal of attention from the invest. ors of Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York;" said II. wm. Stevens, who re. gently returned from six months visit in the east, to n representative of the Journal. Miner.
 "This is particularly the case in Pittsburg," he said, (which has more money invested in this county than any other city that l know of in the east. Capitalists there appear to be impressed with the opportunities for investment in Yavapai county, not. withstanding the fact that the re. sources of this part of the Territory have not been as extensively exploited as other sections of the west. They are aware of the fac, that all of the properties that have developed here to any considerable depth have proven good, and they are confident, and justly SO, that there are mines here yet un. developed that will eventually prove as rich as any of our great ones.
 "A great many who have been trad. ing in New York industrial stocks are now investing in mining stocks. The tendency appears to be in the direc. ton of properties of established merit rather than prospects. They prefer to invest in properties that have ore bod ies opened, at high prices. rather than purchase prospects at low figure. also found tendency among investors towards looking closely into the abilit, and integrity of the management of the concerns they invest in, showing that they are beginning to realize thi' feature of mining to be one of th' most important
 | "Stocks of the Interior Mining { Trust Co.,, and the Mount Tritlc Cope company are listed on the Pittsburl mining exchange. These companie have done much towards attracting th attention of capital to the oPportunitie for investment here. Stocks of th Mount Elliott Consolidated Mines com pany, Black Hills Copper compan, Consolidated Union Grand, Bauman Copper company and Arizona Centrn Copper company are traded on th curb. The latter stocks are yet unlists on the exchange but are in much d' msnd."

MEN AT WH|PPLE NOT LIABLE F0R
 SCHOOL TAX Major Foster Says The Workmen Need Not
 Pay It Holds That County Has No Jurisdiction On
 Reservation
(Frsm Saturdays Daily.)

Hereafter no more school tax will be collected from the workmen employed in the construction of buildings at Fort whipple by the Burrell Construction company and other contractors in obel- fence to an or0cr from Major Foster, the commanding officer, who holds that the county has no jurisdiction within the bounds of the Fort whipplc mili- tary reservation.
 This decision of the commanding of- 6cer is the outcome of complaints of the workmen employed there from whose wages school taxes for the year 1907 had been deducted by the con- tractors at the request of County Ass cssor Campbell. When the attention Of Major Foster was called to the matter hc told the representatives of the Bur rell Construction company that they had no right to deduct school tax from mechanics and laborers employed on the reservation by reason of the fact that the county had no jurisdiction there. ]. 4. Wentworth, bookkecpcr for the contractors, notified the asses sor's office by telephone yesterday of the orders given by Major Poster, and the outloog is that the school fund of the Territory will not be swelled any by taxes collected from workmen there in future.
 The statute makes it compulsory on all employers in the Territory to col lect school tax from all employees and turn the same over to the county ass essor, when called upon for n list of the employees by the latter and 1t was in obedience to the statute and at tho request of the assessor that the man. agement of the Burrell Construction company had collected school tax from it's employees in the past.

Mark Bradley Compares A. & (. Country To
 California
Tells Of A Transparent House And Intense
 Heat
(FTom Saturdays Dsily.)


 After an absence of four months, in which he travelled through tho Crack. crjack district of California, the dis. triets of Bullfrog, Rhyolitc, Goldfelj, Beatty, Schwab and Lee, in Nevada and along the line of the A. & C. rail. road, from wickenburg to Amboy, Cal. ifornia, Mark Bradley arrived nome Thursday night, more favorably i'm. pressed than ever with the mineral possibilities of this section and tho country tributary to the Arizona & California railroad.
 "Nevada has certainly some good mines," Mir. Bradley said, "but no better than we have here, and none of the districts that visited in that state, in my opinion, compare in mineral pos. abilities with the region opened by the 4. & c. railroad from Wickcnburg to Amboy.
 "In the next few years l believe that some great mines will be opened both on the Arizona and the Califor. nia side of the river, and the fact of the matter is, there are several prop. critics in operation now that would not trade for any that I have seen else. where in my travels. I consider the Bill Williams mountains as rich min. eral section as any in the west, and know of no better place to go in scarcn of . mine.
 "On the California side of the Colo. rado river I found three surveys for the A. { c. from Parker to Amboy, q distance of approximately 103 miles No one appears to know which survey will be followed when the road is built "I saw many promising prospects in the Riverside range, and, generally speaking, found all of the country along the railroad surveys located q distance of several miles in every di' Pection.
 "In the Santa Maria range com pany of Omaha, Nebraska, capitalists has force of men starting to sink ( 1,000-foot shaft on n great iron dyke that can be easily traced for distance of seven miles. The whipple range also has some very good looking pros pects with good copper surface show ings.
 "water is very scarce all along th' proposed railroad route from the Colo Fado river to Amboy. The survey pas ses over saline beds covering thousand of acres, about thirty miles from Am boy. The eyploiters of the salt bed have . cabin on the ground, built iron transparent rock salt, which resembles a glass house, and through the walls o which a person can easily be seen.
 "In Death Valley there is nothinl but sunshine and sand to be seen an' the heat coming up from it on the Fun eral range of mountains is hot enougl to burn ofF a man's beard"
 MT. Bradley will leave in few day for the Bill Williams country to msk further exploration of that region which he considers as promising as an. he has seen.

Just as the board of supervisors was about to adjourn yesterday afternoon after sitting as a board of equalilza tion, the matter of another justice Of the peace for Prescott was brought up, and the name of J. N. W. Moore, United States commissioner here, placed before the board as n candidate for ap. pointment.
 Barney Smith. chairman of the board, who took the position that 1t was doubt ful if Prescott was entitled to another justice, said that in any event, in hi' opinion, F. ]. Keohane should be ap pointed, as in the recent election he polled n much larger vote than Moore which, to smiths mind, was proof sui fcient that the majority of the peopl, wanted Keohane, rather than Moore.
 This view of the matter did mol meet with the appreciation of the othe supervisors, and on a vote, Harrington and wingSsld voted for Moore. smitl voting, "No." Moore was then de elared duly appointed, subjee, to th' filing of proper bond and the issuance 10 him by the clerk of the board of { certificate of appointment.
