report of him to the town So as the
morning grew she rode down the
mountain ostensibly to get the cherry
cordial she had left behind her the day
before, really to satisfy her hunger for
news
AS 1t happened Mrs. Halloran's first
greeting set her anxiety at rest. Prem
dergast had bought some tobacco at
the general store an hour before while
she had been making her daily order,
and the storekeeper had questioned
him. To an interested audience he
had told Of the finding OF Hugh on
the mountain road in sort Of crazy
fever and enlarged upon the part the
girl on horseback had played. Hugh
was all right now. he said, except that
he didn't remember him or the cabin
or Smoky Mountain.
What Prendergast had said Mrs.
Halloran told Jessica In a breath. Be
fore she finished she found that les.
sica had not heard of the Incident In
the saloon which bad precipitated the
fight with Devlin. and with sympa-
thetic rhetoric Mrs. Hailoran told this
too
"Why does Smoky Mountain hate
him sof What has be doneY" asked
tessica.
Mrs. Halloran shook her head. Il
never knew anything myself" she
said judiciously. Il reckon the town
allus counted him Just a general low
down. The rest Is only suspicion an
give the dog bad name"
There had been comfort for Jessjca
in this interview. Mrs HaIIoran's
story had materially increased the
poignant force Of her pity. What had
seemed to her vulgar brawl had
been In reality courageous and I'M
selfish championship Of defenseless
outcast. Thinking Of this. the self
blame and contrition which. she had
felt when she listened to the violin
assailed her anew, till she seemed a
very part of the guilt an equal sinner
by omission
Yet she rode homeward that day
with almost light heart. &

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
 FROM INSTANT DEATH
By Man Who Fell Over Rim of the Grand Canyon and
 Was Saved.

The escape Of D. Johnson last week from certain death, when preCipitated over the rim of the Grand Canyon by the roots of a falling tree at Grand wiew was certainly miraculous.
 Johnson was thrown in the air ten feet or more and out into the can yon head foremost, passing through two narrow projecting lodges of jagged rock, landing on a three foot ledge Q hundred feet below. Tons of rock came tumbling down following the fall of the tree, but still conscious he had presence of mind enough to crawl underneath @ projecting ledge Of rock and escape it. Had he struck the projecting lodges of rock death would have been certain; the heavy growth of brush on the narrow ledge was placed exactly right to break his fall and prevent his rolling off the ledge. Had he fallen from this leusO his fall would have been thousand feet or more sheer of the rocks be- low. Johnson, with two others, was working on a tree about eight inches in diameter standing on the edge Of the rim. It gave way suddenly wAen he was standing directly behind it. A heavy root broke and caught him in the back as the tree fell, throwing him upward and out into the canyon.
 He was brought up by round about trail to the rim. A physician happened to be stopping at the hotel and an examination was hurriedly made. It was found that no bones had been broken and aside from minor bruises and shock of the fall he was perfectly sound He was brought 70 Flagstaff the day following his fall. in- stead of Williams as reported last week. and is now able to be around suffering no i'll effects ecept slightly stfffened muscles.
 G. H. Johnson, his father. lives on Oak creek and had been visiting the Canyon with ais family when the ac- cident occurred.

PHOENIy'S SIDE
 OF TIE RAISE
In Assessment on Non-Produc- ing Patented Mines in
 CochiSe County.

PHOENIX. Aug. 1T.-By increasing
 the patented. non-producfng mining claims in Cochise county from S98 to
 $6s6, the territorial board of eauali-
 zation has placed the mines of that
 county on footing with those of the other counties of Arizona
 The assessor of Cochise turned in
 the patented mines of that county to the territorial board at $9S. The
 board averaged the figure at which
 the patented non-producing mines of
 the other counties are placed On the assessment rolls. and found the amount to be about S700 per claim. Reasoning that the pTospector wIo i owns an unpatented claim that sell dom produces anything has to ex- pend $i00 per year in assessment
 work, the board decided that the Co.,
 chise rate of sos per claim on mining property that is held without the ex- penditure of 1 cent for assessment
 work was ridiculously low. Another important decision reached | by the board was on the protest Of the Santa Fe system against a higher
 rate than 20 cents per acre on the thousands of acres it holds in north ern Arizona.
 With the exception of Apache
 where the land was assessed at 25 cents an acre. the figures of the as | sessOTs in various counties were taken as a basis, the value being fixed as follows: Yayapai, 90 cents; Mohave, 20 cents: Coconino, 40 cents; Navajo, 35 cents. The Apache assessor turned the land in at the rate of 20 cents an acre.
 Auditor Ely stated this afternoon that he will not know the total value of the property in Arizona until to-
 MOTION. but said that it would ex-
 ceed SS0, 900, 900.
 The figures fixed by the territorial board for the purpose of the terri torial tax levy of 15 cents per S10O.
