OFFICIAL PAPER GILPIN COUNTY
ABOUT THOSE BONDS.


menting the city administration
for the highly satisfactory manner
in which the affairs of the city
government were being conducted
in general and the economy prac-
ticed in particular. The item made
reference to the fact that the bond
ed Indebtedness had been reduced
to the extent of $4,000, incidental
ly stating that the Indebtedness
that was being wiped out came as
a Republican heritage upon as
suming Office.
This latter assertion was regard
ed by that faction of the Republi-
can party which relinquished
cherished positions last April as a
slam at the former administration
and in last weeks Register-Call a
reply was published. The OBJ
server article objected to in the
main was where this paper said
that good business judgment had
been displayed by the present
council in redeeming the bonds,
even though not due for three and
half years, thereby stopping the
interest-4a per cent, meaning a
large saving to the city. The
Register-Call in its article con-
tended that poor judgment had
been shown in taking up these
bonds instead of redeeming out
standing warrants drawing six per
cent. This is what former Repub-
lican councils had been doing.
Now anyone possessing common
horse sense would readily see the
wisdom of redeeming warrants
bearing six per cent interest in
preference to bonds drawing a
per cent interest, provided this
could be taken legally. All, there's
the rub-it couldn't be done, law
fully.
The creation of a sinking fund
was required by an ordinance pass
ed in 1901 for the payment of the
principal and interest on these
water bonds and the ordinance
provided for special taxes being
levied fer this sinking fund; also a
levy of not less than 4 mills for
the ultimate payment of the prin-
cipal of the. bonds, the tax to be
collected in 1905 and each year
thereafter until the bonds were
paid. The ordinance passed in
1901 specifically states that the
money raised for the sinking fund
shall not be used for any purpose
other than the redemption of these
bonds. The special levy of 4 mills
in 1905 was made and the money
instead of beirg used for the pur-
pose provided for in the ordinance
was used by the council, which
can see no business judgment in
acting in accordance with the law
as the present council is doing, in
redeeming city warrants. This ex-
planation is clear to the reader,
who must admit that the money in
the sinking fund is now being used
for the proper purpose in taking
up the bonds and cannot lawfully
be put to any other use.
AS stated above, the former
councils used the money in the
sinking fund to redeem the war
rants, but they were advised
against this action by their coun-
sci. Counsel's advise was ignored
in this matter as in other instances
when it conflicted with the views
OF those he was to keep Alright.
How these bonds were to be taken
care of when they fell due is
mystery to us.
The Register Call would deny
the council now in power all credit
for accumulating in the sinking
fund the $4,000 with which that
amount of bonds were redeemed,
saying there was that amount in
the sinking fund when the affairs

present council. Now as matter
of fact, Notwithstanding the re-
quirements of the ordinance pass
ed in 1901, no sinking fund was
ever created by any of the councils
serving since that time until the
present one went into power. The
Register Call refers us to the an
nual report of the treasurer pub
lished the fore part of April of
last year, according to which there
was $9O75.55 in the sinking fund.
True, it appeared in the report
that way, but that sum was all
imaginery-there wasn't cent in
the sinking fund and all the money
turned over to the treasurer who
succeeded the one who made the
report was $2,995.03 and this sum
constituted the total of the general
city, general water and sewer tax
funds. To receive any considera-
ton whatever, the sinking fund
would have had to got its proper
ton from this amount.
Since the Register-Call was so
thoughtful in calling our attention
te the report of the treasurer pub
lished in this paper in April, we
have not only read but have stud
led the statement carefully and
must frankly confess that therein
is shown a Juggling of funds and
moneys that would do credit to a
frenzied fnancier. If national
bank were to issue a statement in
the manner of the city treasurer's
last report an examiner would be
sent to the bank the next day. We
publish some parts of the report to
show misappropriations and to set
at naught the old saying that Gig
ures won't lie:"

The report says deficit in the
water fund. This is a false state
ment. S9,075 55 of this arises from
the misappropriation of money
from the sinking fund to redeem
warrants, and S11,11S.75 water
fund, SO misappropriated. When
the water fund fails to pay its own
way, the general fund is to be ap-
piled to water payments, so the
general fund cannot be used to re-
deem warrants unless the water
debts are paid.
Suppose the water bonds were
made payable by the city March
31st, 1907, the date of the treasur-
er's report, and taxpayer were
to go to the treasurer and ask that
the bonds be taken up and paid,
what would the answer be? We
can't take them up. But" says
the taxpayer, "your report shows
sinking fund balance of S9,075. So"
"Yes," says the treasurer, ''the re-
port shows it but we used the
money to redeem warrants" COR
says the taxpayer. "You misap-
propriated the bond sinking fund
to pay city warrants?" YES"
says the treasurer, "call it that if
you will. We thought as long as
the books and annual report look
ed right no one would discover
what we were doing"
In the report items are stated on
balance" but do not say what it
consists of-cash on hand or debts
to be paid. The report caused
some comment at the time it was
issued and is not a satisfactory
one, particularly so from one turn
ing IN Office over to another. We
were prone to discuss the state
ment at thetime, but thought it
best to wait until we could come
in possession Of facts.
The present council has put the
money back as far as possible into
the funds where it belonged, which
were unlawfully depleted by the
former council to redeem war
rants"

MAKE HIT AT ROYAL.

The life moving pictures portrayint
the battle between Battling Nelson and
Jimmy Britt for the lightweight
championship of the world were pro
duced for the first time in Bisbee at
the Theater Royal last evening and at
traeted a large crowd. There is no
doubt that this picture was ''the article
as advertised" The subject of the
film was one of the greatest ring bat
ties ever fought in the history OF the
game, and the movements of the two
puglisits were pictured in such real
istic manner that the audience had
probably just as good an idea of
what went on, as those who were ac-
tually present and saw the combatants
in flesh and blood The film is more
than mile long and has been pro
duced at an enormous cost.
The change IN the regular program
which was put on last evening was
especially pleasing. The new films
are up to date in every particular, be
ing the latest product of the art. 'Ths
Ice Industry in Sweden" is an instruc
tive picture, while August the Mon
key displays to what a remarkable de
gree the brutes OF the lower creation
can be trained. J. NJ. Denton in Illus
trated songs proved big favorite.

RICH ORE BODY At
SHATTUCk-AR|zOhA
Ten Per Cent Sulphide Body
Carries Big Gold and Sill
yer Values.

This morning L. c. Shattuck, B. M.
Pattison and a number Of other local
stockholders in the Shattuck-Arizona
will go through the mine on trip OF
inspection which is showing up in ex-
cellent condition.
On Sunday the new ore body en-
countered some three weeks ago was
penetrated, and gives promise OF being
not only one of the largest but richest
ore. deposits in the district.
Three weeks ago in the No. cross
cut on the 100 level breast Of high
grade sulphide ore was broken into,
and since that time operations have
been directed towards ascertaining its
extent. Seventyfive feet of the ore
was cut through before the crosscut
again got into the limestone on Sun
day. This ore body in all parts ex-
posed up to the present time, runs bet
ter than 10 per cent in copper, and
carries values of $3.50 per ton In gold
and silver. Estimating the costs OF
smelling at SO per ton, the gold and
silver values in. the latest ore body
opened up viii pay these as well as
the cost of mining, leaving the copper
value net profit.
With this new Ore body the Shat
tuck is in a still better position to
make a record production soon as
arrangements can be made with the
smelters for the handling Ct the ores
and there is no doubt in the minds OF
those in touch with the situation thai
within the next year the force EN-
ployed at this mine will aggregate
more than 1000 men.

AFFIDANTS FILED
BY THE CLAIMANTS
Want Several townships In
New Mexico Withdrawn from
Agricultural Entry.

If the affidavits which have been
filed with the United States land office
are effective, five townships in the oil
district in the vicinity of Santa Rosa,
New Mexico, claimed by local people,
will probably be withdrawn from
entry within very short time pending
investigation.
At the time the oil excitement broke
out in the vicinity OK Santa Roa a
number of local people became inter-
ested and filed on land. Since that
time agricultural claimants, thought
to be prompted by the Standard Oil
Company, have appeared on the scene
and endeavored to get the ground
under the homestead law.
About two weeks age the local
claimants. retained Attorney George
Neale and sent him to the sister ter
ritory to look after their interests.
After making a thorough inspection OF
the ground, Neale filed an affidavit
signed by wenty-six claimants, setting
forth that the land was more valuable
fer petroleum than for agriculture,
and asking that for the reason stated,
IT be withdrawn from entry under the
homestead law, at least until an in
yestigation could be made by the de-
partment.
The petition OF the claimants, who
were the first on the ground, seems to
be so reasonable. that there is little
doubt the commissioner of the general
land Office will order it granted, and
order an investigation

Mrs. Mary StanaWay Alleged
to Be Guilty of Adultery With
D. w. SempIe Is Taken Into
Custody.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mary
Stanaway, against whom a warrant
was sworn out in Tucson a couple of
days ago charging her with adultery
alleged to have been committed with
d. w. Semple, for whom the authori-
ties are now searching, was arraigned
before R. C. Stanford, United States
commissioner in this city, and released
on $500 bond, pending her preliminary
hearing which was set for March 9.
The complaints against Semple and
Mrs. Stanaway were sworn out before
United States Commissioner Richey in
Tucson on Friday, it being alleged that
the offence was committed in that
city, and the first news obtainable was
published in. the Review ON Sunday
morning. In the meantime Semple
had left the city on Friday evening,
going north on the afternoon strain,
after spending a couple of days in the
district. Up to the present time he
has not been located, although there
seems to be but little doubt that the
United States marshaPs Office will
have him in custody within very
short time.
Until yesterday morning it was i'm
possible to ascertain who was the
other party complained of. Mrs.
Stanaway's- husband a few weeks ago
was committed 90 the territorial in
tame asylum from Globe, where Semple
was conducting a newspaper at that
time. The instance complained of are
alleged to have been committed since
that time.
