C0CHISt SUPERVISORS
 AND AUDITOR ELY
Action of the Former In the Matter of the Raised Valuation on Non pro ducing Patented Mines, Satisfactory to the Administration.

Satisfaction was expressed at the capitol yesterday with the action of the board of supervisors of Cochise county in the matter of the order of the territorial board of equalization to raise the valuation of patented. non producing mines in Cochise county from $9S each to $6S6.99 each.
 The Cochise county board of su- peryisors accepted the raise for the purposes of the territorial tax, but for purposes of county taxation left the valuation as originally fixed by the county assessor.
 There is no reason for the territory to be dissatisfied with the action of the supervisors" said Territorial Aud itOr Ely, yesterday. "The courts have decided that the powers of the terri torial board of equalization in the matter of increasing valuations applies to the territorial tax only, and if the supervisors of Cochise county choose to have their county lose the benefit of this $539,979.60 which we have added to the territorial tax roll, the territory is not concerned. The administration is glad. of course, that the order of the territorial board was complied with without a lawsuit, but the order would have been enforced through the courfs if ecessary-because the action of the territorial board was just. It was also necessary, if We were to comply with our paths of office to properly equalize the assessment roll.
 T notice, added MT. Ely, that cer tain papers in Cochise county which habitually assail the administration are making the absurd charge that the territorial board of equalization was unjust in ordering a raise of the val uation of the patented, non-producing mines of that county, and in view of these charges it may be interesting to let the figures speak for themselves Upon examining the tax rolls as re- turned by the several county assessors, the territorial board found that pat ented, non-producing mines of the mining counties had been valued by

hASSAYAMPA CLUB
 OF LOS ANGELES
1t is Now in the Midst of a Glorious Three Days Celebration.

Yesterday was the first of the three days celebration of the Hassayampa 1 Club of Los Angeles. Undoubtedly it was a great day and the two sue ceeding days will be equally as in iteresting. The following letter to The Republican from Redondo, gives more of the details of the plans for the celebration than have heretofore | been published and doubtless most readers of the paper will wish they could be with their cOuntrymen to- day:
 Residents and former residents of Arizona, under the leadership of the | HaSsayampa Club of Los Angeles, will hold their annual jubilee on the 20th, Fist and End of the present month and an attendance running up into the hundreds is expected, es- pecially at their picnic which will be held at this point, Redondo Beach, on the 21st.
 Nearly all the prominent men of Arizona, including the governor, the supreme court and legislative repre- sentatives, have been invited to be present, and many of them have sig nified their intention of attending The governor of California will also probably be among the prominent guests.
 'The program of the vents begin ming on the goth will be a reception at the Chamber of Mines to the Hassayampa Club and AriZonians at ? D. m. A banquet at the Holen- beck at 9 D. m., at which some of the most novel features ever seen at banquet will be presented.
 Secretary Mitchell of the Hassa- yampa Club, has been planning this event for some time and it will be a function that should surely not be missed by any Arizonian who can possibly make a pilgrimage to Los Angeles and Redondo Beach on these dates.
 'On the 21st the annual picnic will be held at RedOndo Beach, at which time sports of all kinds both aquatic and athletic will be indulged in by the members and their guests. Lunch con will be served in the new Span ish gardens at Hotel Redondo grounds, and everything done by the citizens of RedOndo to make the event the most pleasant in ancient and modern history.
 "On the 22nd a theater party com posed of Arizonians to the number of 600 or TOO will take possession Of the Orpheum theater in Los Angeles, and q rousing time is expected.

 As heretofore" continued the aud itor. "the papers referred to are talk ing about injustice to the miner As a matter of fact. the little miner the prospector-does not patent his claims Instead. he pays in taxes, in the form of annual assessment work, S100 for each claim.
 Tn Cochise county, for example, it would accordingly work out this way: the prospector would pay S100 annual ly. on a valuation of $9S.14 for each of their claims, the sum of one dollar and ninety-siX cents-and this for all pur- poses, county and territorial tax. And even on the basis of the increased val uation fixed by the territorial board, owners of patented, non producing mines would have paid in total taxes for county and territorial purposes on each claim Con the basis of the & tax rate in that county) the sum of $13.14. And this against the S100 assessment work paid by the prospectOr on his unpatented claim. And, and since the supervisors of Cochise county have re- lieved the owners of these patented mines from paying taxes on the i'm creased valuation, they will pay as ter ritorial tax on each claim the sum of $516.
 But apart from all that it was nec- essary to order this raise, if we were to place Cochise county mines on somewhat of an equality with the val nations returned by the assessors of the other counties. Moreover" con- cluded the auditor, q don't think the people of Cochise county would have been glad to have it advertised through our official reports to the world that the patented, nOn-produc- ing mines of that county were worth but $9S.14 each"

FAIRFIELD MAY
END SOCK FIGHT
PARSONS COLLEGE AUTHORITIES
OBJECT TO UNIDENTIFIED
SCRAP

Fairfield. Oct. 16-(SpeciaD- On
the grounds that the idea of a sock
fight is repulsive, the faculty of Par
sons college is taking steps to change
the form of the time-honored class
scrap to something more aesthetic. AT
the request of President Parsons a
mass meeting Of the students was held
yesterday afternoon and committee
appointed to learn the sentiment OF
the student body ard to report to the
faculty. This committee consists OF
Lawrence Stephenson of Libertyville,
Peter Laude Of Greenfield and Mer-
win Allender of Fairfield.
The college authorities are of the
opinion that while a class scrap is in
some ways desirable the present fight,
in which both the sophomore and
freshmen classes endeavor to secure
the socks Of the other, is not the prop
.er method of working off surplus en-
ergy. Various plans are proposed,
but none have met the approval OF
everyone. 1t has been suggested that
the scrap be continued in the same
form as at present with the sock ele-
ment removed, this turning it into
simple wrestling matches with an up
per classman as referec for each pair
of wrestlers. Others advocate the
adoption OF pushball contest and still
others of tug of war, but all these
have their opponents. The sentiment
Of the student body is against chang
ing the scrap from it's present form,
but the pressure that is being brought
to bear by the faculty will without
doubt result in an alteration in the
form of the contest.
The scrap Las been In its present
form for ten years. Before that the
Sophomores satisfied themselves with
securing the freshmen socks in any
possible way. No freshman could
safely walk the streets at night and
especially was he in danger when he
would venture out with a girl. He
was almost certain to be waylaid and
his hosiery removed. On the morning
after each capture the missing hosiery
always made its appearance hanging
to a chandelier in the chapel, in spite
of the fact that doors and windows
were carefully locked. Two years
ago, however, pitched battle be
tween the two classes took place on
the campus one morning and ever
since that this form of scrap has been
an annual affair
1t is probable that the sock fight oi
three weeks ago, which was pro
nounced to be the flercest ever pulled
off, will be the last of the kind. What
ever the faculty decides upon will be
turned over to the upper classmen and
| they will be given entire control o
the matter.

last night in which the door of his

on his way from Seattle to New

ly.
Wife HystericaI When Door is Forced
When the train arrived at Omaha,
Deputy Sheriff Stewart was on hand
with orders to serve summons on
Hearst, but had trying time in
doing So A knock on the door of
Hearst's stateroom elected the infor-
nation through the door from the
editors wife that he was not in the
room but had gone to the depot to
send telegram. The deputy de,
manded admittance in the name OF
the law, saying if he were not admit
ted he would break down the door
Using his shoulders as a battering
ram he crashed through the door and
was met by Mrs. Hea p,, partially dis,
robed, and apparently on the verge OF
hysteria.
Kicked In Second Door.
Nothing daunted,. although Mrs
Hearst rushed screaming through the
door out in the aisle, Stewart start
ed to kick in the door or the toilet
room of the adjoining stateroom
There it was that Hearst emerged and
accepted the papers. Hearst said
the summons was entirely unexpected
as he had not the least suspicion any
thing of the kind was to occur. He
says he does not believe the case will
ever come to trial.
