 As had been stated by The Republi- can the rate could have been con- siderably reduced, but for the un- precedented appropriations made by the last legislature. If no provision had been made for greater expendi- lures than those of the preceding year. the rate might have been as low as fifty-eigiht cents on each sIO0 of valuation. It will be seen that the provision for the improvement fund of the Insane asylum. the Prison build ing fund. the Tempe Normal school building fund. the Northern Arizona Normal school building fund and the University building fund contribut- ed .216 to the territorial rate. The pro visions last year for these same funds was only .07. The rate for the bond redemption fund last year was only .001: this rear it is .O25.
 The board met at four o'clock yes- terday afternoon to conclude the busi- ness of the session and the figures agreed upon will be put into shape and announced today The matter of the valuation of land grants was the one that required some equalizing on ac- count of the great difference in the assessments in the northern and south ern counties
 In some Of the latter counties they had been assessed at as much as sI.55 an acre while in some of the northern counties they had been assessed as low as .25 cents an acre. It was not pro- posed to lower the assessments in the lower counties or to raise the assess ment in the northern counties to those figures, but 10 raise the assessment in each of the northern counties to the
 highest valuation of each county. For instance, in the county of Yavapai a
 part of such land had been returned at 40 cents an acre. while other grounds
 had been put in at only half as much
 The question of the assessment of patented, non-producing mines was under discussion. This came up on the assessments of this class of property in Cochise county at $500 or s5 an acre. The board at an earlier meeting had resolved to raise this assessment to the figures of other countries where the assessments had been much great CT. in one cases as high as S900
 Supervisor Joseph G. McCabe of Co., chise. arrived in the city yesterday
 morning and appeared before the board
 to explain the system of valuations
 which had been adopted by the board
 of his county. He said that inasmuch as there vas no basis on which to de- termine the value of a non producing
 and unexplored mine. other than the
 cost of it, the board had believed that | that was the fairest way to get at it.
 MT. McCabe said that though he had
 been in the mining business in this | territory for twenty-three years, he
 did not now own a mine of the class
 under discussion and therefore had no personal interest in it. He believed | though. that any other method of as- | session such mines would necessarily | be guess work. Territorial Auditor Page believed
 that the returns made by other coun- ties where the valuations of the same kind of property had been higher. 1 should be made the basis of equaliza- ! tion.
