Are Excellent Recommendations

The recommendation of the grand jnry for improved conditions of the Cochise county poor farm are timely. Ii it is at all possible the poor farm should be made in measure self sustaining, both as s matter of econ omy and means of employment Tor the inmates who gre able to do a little work. Another vice recommendation of lhe jury is their suggestion that short term prisoners in the county jail be put to work on the county roads. If many Of the worthless characters who are in police courts daily knew they had to put in from eight 10 ten hours a: hard labor dur ing the term of their sentences they would ke more careful about getting into trouble, and there would be less csusA for the grand jury and court to censure just ices for sendirg trivial cases before the grand iury.-Bisbee Review.

"Wednesday. May 6

The entire attention of ths district court was taken up today in arguments on the famous Copper Queen back tax case. The results thus far is victory
 for the county and territory.
 At the very outset this morning the
 arguments on the plea in abatement
 presented by the attorneys Tor the Copper Queen, showed that with the progress of the care every point IS beings.ubbornIy contested and neither side conceding 8 poin. with any im- portant bearing on the issues.
 The tables in front of the attorneys fairly groan with the weight oi numer- ous law books and documents. Au- thorities galore are cited and law quoted by the volume.
 The attack on tine authority to brirg suit in view of s previous compromise precipitsted much argument and the rights to do so fully exploited. This was embraced in the objections filed with the plea in abatement and wac denied by the court, scoring the first victory of the day for the county.
 Following this the court disposed of the first fifteen demurrers filed to the complaint by overruling same. This was strenuously objected to hy coun- sel for the company who entered ex- cepsion to each count.
 Upon motion to strike nut the per sonal property iisted, upon the legal grounds advanced, the counsel for the company won out to s certain extent, Judge Nave ruling that the personal property was ruled out under the pro- ceedure. The exception was made in the item of "hoisting works si4 ,6il, melting Sorks sll2,45l and care and car track s6,O0O." The amount of as se.sment affected by this ruling figures A little over slO0O00. A pecuIiarity of the ruling is the fact that both sides entered objection, the courty to the whole thereof and the company to the part excepted by the court as above stated. This sfternoo oon the arguments contenGed on the numer- ous other motions filed and regularity of the proceed ings in connection with the taxmethods followed.
