with such conspicuous credit to himself as John II. Robinson, who retired yes 'crday from the position of Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. When he entered it January 1, 1897, the finan- cial condition of the county was in such bad shape that county officers were compelled 10 wait nine months for their fees and salaries. The county was paying s34,000 annual interest on it's bonded indebtedness. The indcb, edness has been reduced to about s33s,000, drawing an annual interest of only Sl6.0OO. All outstanding road warrants have been redeemed and there is n large available cash fund in the road fund
 There Is 1000 in cash in the ex. pcnsc fund aftcr all outstanding in. debtcdncss was paid and over 5000 in the interest fund to meet the semi. annual interest duc the Territory for its bonded indebtedness, due in July of this year.
 The school fund has 2 cash credit in the treasury of over $30.00O, and inc delinquent tax roll K less in amount this year than at any period in the history of the county.
 Those familiar with county affairs are cognizant of the fact that tho healthy condition of the county's finances and affairs nj the present time is due to great extent to the un- tiring energy of Clerk Robinson, and his good business judgment in the handling of the many intricate prob lens that come before the Board, the members of all the Boards he served with, recognizing him as an able financier, and al all times giving great consideration to his suggestions.
 When he was first appointed the system of records kept was old fash toned, and not in accordance with mod crn ideas. He introduced new books and accounts, from time to time, scgrc gating the different departments of affairs, and only n few months ago he was complimcntcd by Public Examiner w. (. Foster as being among the most capable and energetic officers in the Territory, and having the best system of records and accounts.
 IL is n pleasure to the Journal Miner to thus give n need of recognition tc his services, and to hope for his sue. cess in whatever enterprise he may cn. gage.

HEPBURN BILL IS NOW IN FULL
 EFFECT.
(From Wednesdays Daily.

(From Wednesdays Daily.
 The Hepburn bill, affecting the giv. ing of free transportation, went into effect yesterday, and as n result, many who have heretofore "rodc the cush ions,' free from the s0rdid thought of how much milc,' are experiencing n "killing frost' equal to inc several feet of snow upon the ground.
 lt had been hoped that the strict interpretation of the word "lntcr. state" in the bill would exclude the Territories from this bardship,' but the latest decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission on this point has ruthlcssly swept away their last hope.
 The willy and ubiquitous Commission at the last moment saw the loop.holc and in deciding the matter have held thnt under the provisions of the Hep. burn Law free transportation cannot be issued within the Territories.
 The railroads of Arizona, which have been holding up all requests for trans. portation, since the law became par. tially effective in August last, pend, ing n decision in this matter, have now issued strict orders to all their cm. ploycs for the observance of the letter of the law.

EASTERN SYNDICATE GETS RAIN
 BOW GROUP.
(From Fridays Daily.l

Wednesday last representative of the Baltimore.Arizona Mining com pany made the second payment of the purchase price of the Rainbow group of mines to l.. F. Nellis, F.. $. Camp bell and T. Harvey Smith, and yester. day the property was taken over from the company under bond by m East orn syndicate. The consideration of the deal was not made public, but it is known to be n much larger amount than is named in the contract for pur. chase held by the Baltimorc.Arizona company.
 The new concern is now engaged per fecting plans for the development of the property on m extensive scale, to bc inaugurated at any early date. The group consists of seven claims. located near the foot of Townsend's Butte, in the Turkey Creek district. about 4,0OO feet from the Bradshaw Mountain rail road, and immediately east of Turkey Creek, along the banks of which one of the clnims of the group is situated, affording an excellent site for a rcduc. ton plant.
 The property is developed by three shafts, the deepest of which is down to n depth of s5 feet, and by n number of surface openings exposing the ore body, which appears to he one of the largest low grade deposits in the dis trict. The mineralized zone extends across n width of several hundred feet, between n quartzite and iron dyke, parallcling each other, and running in northcrly and southerly direction.
 Between the dykes capping of gos. san exists, ranging in depth from 15 to 35 feet, beneath which the ore is encountered when broken through by n number of shallow shafts. All of tho openings arc in ore, an average sample of which gives returns of from $5 to ss in gold, silver and copper.
 The property is situated in tho vi. cini'y of the Great Republic, Pickn. way, Thicsing and Hidden Treasure mines, on what is known as the Yava- pai schist belt, which traverses the country from n short distance north of Jerome to the summit of tho Brad. shaw range, and upon which tho De Soto and Blue Bell mines have been developed within the past year into the producing class.
 In addition to the equipment of the property with n large hoisting plant on one of tie shafts, which it is pro posed to sink to great depth, the new concern has under consideration the building of an aerial tramway from the mine to Turkey Greek station, over which it is proposed to transport the output, which will be shipped to tho Humboldt smelter.
