Arizona Increases
 Metal Production

The production of both gold and silver in 1906 was in excess of that ia 1905, according to the statistics col. lected by the United States geological survey,
 The gold production amounted to s2 ,9e4 ,6s3, an increase of $I65, ,i69. Somewhat less than one-half Of thie production came from Cochise county, which includes the Tom bstons mining region.
 Ysvapai. Mohsve and Yuma coun- ties come next, none of the remaining counties reaching the $l00, 900 mark. In Mohave and Yuma counties the larger part of the gold is derived from silicious ores, while in Cochise five siIths of the gold is derived from copper and lead ores.
 Silver was produced to the amount of 3,026 ,438 fine ounces in Arizona, an increase of 420.726 ounces. Cochise county leads, followed closely by Ysv- apai. both approximately 700 1000 ounces. Next follows Gils, with 1l0.- 09s ounces, and next Graham, with l07 ,045 ounces.

Better Do the Assessment Work

There has been agitated lately a proposition that congress suspend by enactment for the present year the provision Of the law requiring a cer- tain amount of assessment work to be done upon mining claims in order to hold them and t has been stated that such e bill would be introduced and pressed to enactment in the shortest possible time.
 In the very nature of the situation the proposition seems impossible of accomplishment, says the Nogales Oasis, which adds ths. it is true that slch an enactment became . law in 1893, and all assessment work that year was suspended by law. But it should not be forgotten that copgres. sat in special session several weeks be- lore the regular session began in De eember, was fully organized, framing legislation, and had time to consider the proposed measure and adopt it long before the time to do assessment work had arrived.
 Having some assessment work to do upon claims he holds, Dr. A. L. Gus letter of Nogales, desiring to bs sure about the matter, wired Hon. Mark Smith Thursday morning, asking an intimstion of the probability Of en- actmeDt Of the proposed legislation Iu reply he received this telegram:
 Washington, Dec. 5, l9O7.-Dr. A. L, Gustetter, Noga.es: see 10 earthly prospect for early passage of bills. MARK SMITH,"
 So with that kind oi information direct from competent authority the claim owner will be ap. to go ahead and do his assessment work. without relying upon possible legislation from congress after the time for doing is shall have passed.

WoIcott Caters to
 Holiday Purchasers

The bright, agreeable weather that has marked December thus far could not .be improved upon if made to order. It is such weather AS to in. veke the muse and inspire one with
 the sweetest of thoughts. The holi- days bring with them good cheer and
 our surroundings become more agree
 able because of the opportunity to gladden. the hearts of others. F. \.
 Wolcott, one of Tombstone's oldest
 merchants, never fails to hearti greet Christmas by providing every thing needful on that occasion. This year he has eclipsed all previous en- deavors, and while his heart swelled with emotion as he viewed his com plete stock of holiday gnods an iu- spired thought was reduced to verse, the first publication of which appears in todays issue and may be read by referring to the Wolcott ad on page four. This poetic etfusion is well worth your perusal for, following its dictates. you will observe a rythm that leads on to a conservatory of music. All is now ready at the Vol colt store. It is looking it's most brilliant, and while an immense stock Of up to-date goods are spread to dag gle the eye a small army of courteous clerks are present to attend your wants. Those early investigators in- sariably get the best of the bargains Prccrastination leaves you in the 'urch. Those who put of the task of selection will not find the same com prehensive offers You had better 'isit Wolcott's immediately.

Sweden's King
 Owned Arizona Mine

King Oscar of Sweden, who died Stockholm Sunday morning, wac the principal packer of the Quartz King, and the development work done thus far has been made mainly possible by royal dollars, which have been sent to Arizona from the purse of King Oscar.
 The properties in which he was in terested are situated on the Arizona side of the Colorado river. They are copper propositions and the kings private purse has been opened gener- ously in their development. The new Arizona 4 California railroad, nov building from Wickenburg to Amboy, Cal passes close to the property, and its is said that preparti ns are being made for the erection of smelters to work the ore from the mines.

Railroads Taxes
 Are Delinquent

When the office Of the county treasurer was closed yesterday, the last day on which county taxes became delinquent before a penalty is added, it was discovered that one of the largest taxpayers in the county-the Southern Pacific Railroad company and its brsnches-had allowed theIr taxes tn go delinquent. The South ern Pacific company is assessed on the rolls Of Cechise county for the sum of Sl ,330. .030, the taIes on which amount 10 $26, ,670.S0. The N. M. & 4. branch is on the rolls for Sl97. TOO, and the taxes due $3976. 50, making a grand total of s30,647 50. The penalty of per cent is added. tLe larger portion of which goes to the tax collector, so that by the oversight of the officials of the railroad company, County Treasurer Gaines will be the gainer in the sum of about $l20O, which will make him a nice Christmas present.
 The majority of the taxpayers of the were in on time with their taxes and the amount of delinquent taxes is now estimated at considerably 1 lower figure than was had last year.

Rocks Clearance
 Sale Continued

John Rocks clearance sale of fall goods, which has attracted public at tention for the past thirty days, is to De continued for smother 30 days
 This is the greatest sacrifice sale ever made in Tombstone, if not in Cochise county. It is sale whereby the public reaps a harvest, and the opportunity has been embraced by many to procure wearing apparal for many months yet to come. Mir. Rcck has an immense stock of ladies and gents furnishings, tailor made gowns for the fair sex, stylish suit for gentlemen, and large invoice of standard brands of shoes for both sex, large and small, and the price. are surprisingly low.
 This reduction sale serves the pub lie well, while the financial stringency incites an economical sense that ma, be observed without denying one' self the best garments on the market preso onts fer the holidays may now b procured without infringing on tn
 funds laid aside for other purposes | Mir. Rock has marked his msmmotl
 stock Of goods down to the very low
 est living prices-netting sufficientl 
 only for freight and handling.
 Lack of room makes this reduction sale necessary, as large consignment ] of goods are now en route and spac must be provided for their arrival , NIT. Rock does not enumerste good, but puts the stock under the head (

Governor Kibbey in his re.

Governor Kibbey in his re- port says: Arizona contains one of the largest pine forests in single body in the world (6,OOO square miles) and there are numerous forests of mag nitude. Possibly in no other section fthe United States is there so keen an appreciation of the value of the value of forests as in Arizona, nor is it possible for the national ad. m; .istration to meet any where more loyal support
 han is accorded in this ter ritory to the policy of pro tecting the forest domain. Our people have learned through years of observation what 1t means tohave natural growth removed from the soil
 They have seen overstocking of the ranges and forests fol- lowed by denuda:ion, the dis appearance of shrubbery and grass and the loss of natures system for holding water in the sol. They have seen cat tie trails become water courses for the run-oft of floods, the gashes thus made in the soll becoming deep ravines or bar rancas that quickly drain dis tricts of rainfall. Such de- velopments are of moment in a country in which water is Of precious value for irrigation and for stock on the ranges, and very naturally the people of Arizona have been led to study with care the question of conserving the waters and saving the forests"

By awarding the sum of five hundred dollars 10 a geneal- ogist for finding four kings in the family tree of a New York banker, the courts have placed fixed value on kings. Still, there have been times when four kings were worth more than five hundred dol lars, and other times when they are not worth a blamed cent.
