 This work is peculiarly difficult and laborious, some pieces weighing as high as l6,OO0 pounds. The work is not half over yet, as it will be sufficient if it is completed by the time the column ar Iivos. which will be a week or more yet.

NON RESIDENTS MUST PAY THEIR
 TAXES.
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Judgment for plaintiff was rendered in the district court yesterday in favor of defendant in the ease of the City of Prescott versus the Prescott Ma tional bank. The point at issue in the ease was whether non resident stock holders in the bank were liable to the payment of city taxes on stock owned by them in the bank. The ease grew out of a refusal of the board Of di' rectors of the bank to pay city taxes on stock owned in the bank by persons residing in other states. The bank rendered the payment of taxes on all stock owned in it by residents of tae Territory.
 The city refused the offer and City Attorney Ling was instructed to nsti' ute legal proceedings against the bank for the collection of the tax, although he advised the mayor and council that the taxes in dispsir could not be col lected according to law, and called their attention to several supreme court decisions to sustain his position
