Old LEE EXPECT DEFEAT
The Generals Significant Statement
After the Battle Of Sailors Greek,
While Retreating

My last official intercourse with
General Lee was on the retreat.
l was sent to him with dispatches
from President Davis and reached
him near midnight of April 9th
near Rice's station. approached
without being challenged by sim
gle sentinel and found him stand
ing near smoldering fire with
one of his hands resting on an am
bulence wheel. He was debating
some order to Colonel Marshall,
who sat in the ambulance with a
lap desk receiving his dictation.
AS General Lee spoke he gazed
into the bed of Goals as if weighing
every word. There was no staff
or escort about so far as l could
see. Touching Sailors Creek, he
spoke bitterly and said in answer
to Mr.. Davis desire to know his
proposed line of retreat that it
was beyond his control; that he
bad intended to retreat by the line
of the Danville road, but had boen
forced off that route by the arrival
of Sheridan ahead of him at Burk-
vile; that he was then following
the line of the Soutbside road 10
Lynchburg, but the enemy was
outmarching him and might force
him off; that bis movements were
depen dent on the development of
each hour, and then he added:
"How can l tell? A few more
Sailors Creeks and it will all be
over-just where 1 thought it
would end from the beginning"
When l first published this state
ment its truthfulness was ques-
toned. Fortunately l afterward
saw two of his staff, both of whom
said they had heard him express
himself in the same way. There
may have been times when General
Lee, .elated by some of his surpris,
ing successes, felt hopeful about
the triumph of our cause. From
the probabilities based on numbers
and resources his judgment may
have been warped away now and
then by the feeling he expressed
when, after Second Manassas,
Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville, he said: "No gen.
eral ever commanded such troops
as those under me-" But his mind
was too mathematical in Its work
ings, and all Its calculations were
too habltually based upon what
could be done with a given number
of men and a certain amount of
material to make him forget the
vast disparity between the contest
ants or hope for ultimate triumph.

FEBRUARY 2S, 1908.
1T Is THE LOWEST NOW.

John ]. Birdno, county assessor,
spent the past week in Clifton on
business connected with his office.
1t Is customary for him to make
several trips here to get up his as
sesment and on this trip it was his
mission to assess the copper COM
panies. He spent the greater por-
tion. of his time at the plants and
mines. He is of the opinion that
the assessment roll will reach close
to the SS,000,0U0 mark this year.
Extensive new improvements have
been made all over the county,
new companies have advanced to
the 'front.' and with the new bullion
tax law, using 1907 prices as a
basis, the assessment will be a
heavy one. A larger assessment
roll means another reduction IN
the tax rate and at that rate 1T will
not be long until the tax rate in
Graham county will be the lowest
in Arizona.-Copper Era.
If the editor of the Era will take
the trouble to look the matter up
he will find that the tax rate in
Graham county according to tax
able wealth, the lowest now. Co
chise county is the only one with
tax rate as low as Graham, and
her taxable wealth is about three
times as much as ours. If we mad
the same amount of taxable wealth
as Cochise our tax rate would not
be over rs cents. Even Maricopa,
with nearly double our taxable
property, has higher tax rate.
The reason of this is plain, Gra-
ham county is administered more
economical than any other county,
and yet large sums of money have
been spent by the board in public
improvements that were needed
and will be lasting. But the of:
ficials whose duty it is to see after
the finances of the county are
democrats and run the county
business for the benefit of tho peo-
pie whose trust and confidence
they are holding.

Last Sunday afternoon the SAT
ford club played ball with the club
from Solomonville on the home
grounds, known as the Beebe
place.
The game was interesting, but
the players on both sides showed
need for more practice in team
work, especially the Stafford boys.
But the season is young yet, and
as it advances the team work will
improve.
1t would also be a good plan to
improve on base runuig, and there
is need of good coaching when
players are on the bases.

New Political
Party Formed

The Independence League is now
in the field as national organiza
ton, and will hold a national con,
vention to nominate Il presidential
ticket after the conventions Of the
two older parties have been held.
The platform, as presented by
Clarence j. Shearn to the confer.
ence held in Chicago, February
22nd, is as follows:
The league advocates direct NOM
ination of all candidates and the
popular election of the United
States senators and judges; legis.
lation prohibiting the use of mon
ey in elections, except for meet
ings, literature and necessary trav-
cling expenses of candidates. The
immediate purchase of telegraph
lines is made an issue. Union
labor organizations are endorsed
when they tend to bring about just
distribution Of wealth, and laws
for an eight-hour day. the enforce
ment of the use of safety appli-
ances in industrial undertakings,
and the right to trial by jury IN
contempt cases are favored. A
court to review and enforce the or
ders of the interstate commission
is suggested. The revision of the
tariff by the gradual reduction of
schedules, and strong navy are
advocated; and ship subsidy for
the development of commerce.
and the extension of the reserve
naval force, is endorsed.

Mining News

There are now about 500 men
employed at the Shannon mines,
which is as many as have been en-
ployed at any other time. The
ore output of the mines has been
increased considerably Of late and
it is reported that more ore is be-
ing added to the reserve all the
time. The incline is in excellent
running order and the smelling
plant Is in fine trim awaiting the
command of higher price of cop
per. The Shannon has recently
made a wonderful showing in the
way of adapting itself to existing
conditions. Since the slump in
copper expenses have been reduced
materially in every department
and at the same time the output of
copper has been kept up TO it's
usual standard. With the amount
Of ore the Shannon has in reserve
and the additional 700-ton furnace
capacity which is not now being
used, there is prospects for hand
some increase in the earnings of
the company just as soon as the
price reaches the proper place.
Judging from the opinion of prom
inent mining men copper will soon
be selling steadily at Is or l6 cents
per pound and if it does there is
gong to be something doing with
the Shannon and the Clifton. Mo-
reno, district in general.
Mining Science devotes over
twenty. five inches to description
of the tungsten district which is
about twenty miles northeast of
Benson by the wagon road which
passes through d. A. Adams
ranch, and is about four miles
north of Dragon station. The
writer says that about $4,000 has
been received for tungsten ore,
which is being concentrated by
the most primitive methods at
times when there is a supply of
water.
He says the tungsten district is
two by four miles In diameter;
that VEINS have we'll defined walls
and are continuous for long dis
tances, some being traceable for
two miles.
One case Is mentioned where
Il man bought half interest IN
group in this district for S22750,
and within four months produced
Sl0,470 net profit from his interest.
1t is suggested that dry concen-
traitor could be worked to good
advantage here all the year if the
veins were developed!
The new Mexican mining law
will soon be out 1t is generally
understood that mineral prospect
ing zones and b'g exclusive con-
cessions will be good thing but
there are other things just as much
needed in the present law, such as:
not requiring actual surveys and
monumenting of claims; on nine
tenths> of the properties there is
not thing on the ground to put
one on notice, the records of loca-
tion in mining agents Offices are
not public records free for the in
spection of any one, and the agents
have a perquisite IN charging for
such inspection or can refuse it al
together if they choose; there is
no encouragement in the way of
lessening taxes or final patent

must keep on paying to the end of
time just the same as he who does
