Executive Department of Arizona.
coffee of the Governor,
ITO the Councils:
81 beg hereby to inform you that
on the 9th instant l received, and on
the 18th instant signed bill entitled
IAN act to provide for the taxation of
mines and mining claims, and ores or
mineral products from the same, ,
designated on your rolls as the bill
substituted for, council bill, No. As,
and introduced by the house commit
tee on mines and mining, and that
thereby that bill has become law.
81 need hardly reiterate that per-
sonally do not approve the bill in
principle nor in details. Public
sentiment demanded of this legisla-
ture some legislation providing for
the assessment of mining property
more nearly at its value than has
been the practice for more than
twenty years past.
eff this law will accomplish what
is claimed for it by its advocates,
and as l must assume the legislature
believes it will, then a step has been
taken toward the carrying out of the
wishes of the people. But whether
it be long step, or whether it fully
satisfies the people, and particularly
whether it meets my veiws or not,
are not to be considered, because the
fact is made apparent by the passage
of this bill by more than two-thirds
vote in each house, that no differ
ent legislation concerning the taxa
ton of mining property will pass
this session, and because our present
law is, as l have pointed out to you
in former message, so defective as
to be ineffective for the purpose of
taxing mining property.
''The bill as passed provides for
valuation of % per cent, which is
higher than was provided for by the
bill to which I stated my OBJ
jections on the first instant, and in
nearly every other essential feature
has been materially altered and i'm
proved.
"The new law is evidence of the
distinct approval of the efforts made
within the past two years to increase
the assessment of producing mines,
and is concession to public opinion.
Two years ago all mines in the terri
tory, with all of their improvements,
we're upon the tax rolls for approx |
mately 81 100000, and if there shall
be an honest compliance with the
provisions of this law, the assessment
this year should exceed s2O,OOO,OOO.
"For these reasons | have deemed
it my duty to sign the bill.
(Signed) JOSEPH H. KIBBEY,
Governor"

 irlst
 Captain Brassbound's Conversion"
 is a very odd tale of a young man who
 was born in the West Indies, son of an
 Englishman and Brazilian woman.
 His father dies, leaving supposedly large estate, which Is seized by a brother of his father, who is an emil nent judge of the nigh court of Eng land. The mother goes to London in
 an effort to get control of the property becomes very dissipated and conceals the fact that she has a son. The judge turns her away from his door, and eventually drives her from the country, considering her claim a falsehood She returns to the West Indies and brings
 up her son with one purpose in life that of averaging her The son be- comes a sailing master and eventually drifts to the west shores of Africa l where he divides his time between pra-
 cy smuggling and brigandage. He conceals his brigandage by acting as
 an escort for tourists who want to eX- l pore the fastncsses of the Atlas noun tains By an arrangement with tho shell of a bandit tribe of Arabs he l turns over all his tourists to the shiek
 as slaves, or to be held for ransom. 1 Here is where he first meets the uncle | who is the object of his vengeance. The uncle is accompanied by Lady Cicely, 1 his sster-in-aw, and they fall into the l brgand's hands. He completes his
 deal with the shiek for the possession | of the uncle but before it is carried out i he is won by the wit and charm of the 1 lady Too late to effect her rescue
 himself he is given unexpected aid by i the arrival of an American man-of-war and then after he proposes marriage
 to the lady, and she is about to yield to | his persuasion, he hears again the call
 of the wild, recognizes the impossibility
 of happiness in such @ union, and re- leases her.
 It is in the telling of this story, with
 its running comments upon English justice and ShaW's satirical treatment of every phase of life involved in the
 story, that not only causes laughter, but serious thought as well. It gives
 Ellen Terry a wide opportunity for the i display of her fascinating personality and consummate art.
