How the 500 Raise on Non-Product.

In letter recently addressed by the secretary of the Territorial Board of equalization to the boards of super
 visors of the respective counties, the
 Territorial board advances statements
 in justification of it's action in fixing a
 rate of assessment on Don-producing
 patented mining property. The ter
 rit0rial hc::1 goes further and sug-
 gests that the local boards of super.
 visors, as boards of equalization, cause the mining properties in their respec- tive counties to be assessed at their actual value, not only as a matter of justice, but as species of guide to the territorial board, which cannot become with each individual case, The board of supervisors of Cochise county adopted the 600 per cent raise established by the territorial board without dissent. butappIied same only 10 far as it relates to the territorial 'aise and will not affect the county ate O: taxation.

MT.

NORMAL SCHOOL LAW
Governing Appointment of Pupils by
 Members of Legislature

As but few of the members of the twenty-fourth legislature have exer- clsed their right to appoin: a student to one of the territorial normal schools, their attention is attracted to the following law on the subject:
 Paragraph 3f93, Sec. 90, Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1901: "The right to nominate pupil biennislly, is se- cured to each member of the house and council of the legislative assembly oi Arizona, preference to be given for the space of sixty days after the quail 'ication of said member, to pupils of the county from which said mem Der is elected after which time, (no pupil accepting he may nominate 8 pupil from any other county of this territory. Pupils provided for in this section, who pass the required exam. ination, shall be admitted into said normal school for the term of two years free of tuition"
 It is sn honor to any student to re- ceive such an appointment, and some students may be relieved from pay. ment of tuition by it.
 Me mbers of the legislature or stu dents who are interested in the ap- pointments may secure blanks for the purpose from A J Matthews, pres ident of Tempe Normal School of Arizona.

THE FESTIVE BED BUG
Tombstoner Relates Narrowing Expe.
 rience in Mexican HosteIry.

It is asserted that species of sffec- tion exists among the lower order of animals for the human race. This procliyity crops out peculiarly with dogs and other quadrupeds. Now it is undisputably claimed that this fondness extends to the insect world. This discovery was made by Tomb- stoner who was in Mexico recently and stayed at s hotel which had the good manners to burn up or burn down. Either one was good enough, b t the loss of l,fe, bed bugs must have been something fierce in tha | particular instance, since that is the identical bird that seemed to concieve such an affection for the lodger, The way those insects loved the Tomb | stoner had the Jonathan and David episode skinned" league and half. Whether the Lord sert lightning, or things got so hot while those bugs were whettiDg their teeth that spon- taneous combustion resulted is not known. A big, square insurance document might explain something
 with its red seal and little blue rib-
 bong, but the aforesaid Tornbstoner claims if every bug in that house had been insured it would have busted the New York life, wrecked the sub- treasury and brought Rockefeller down ] to six meals week to iiquidate the | liability

The lightning editor was in his glory this afternoon. The garden of Eden never presented 6 more glorious sight than Tombstone with the steady, splendid wine of heaven descending, causing the innumerable banks O! flowers throughout the city, even to the dainty morning glory, the modest four o'clock and the homely holly hook to hold ratification meetings and cele- brste.

ORDERS NEW TRIAL
Territory and Cochise County Will Try to Collect $2O0.OOO Back Taxes

A sensational surprise was created in court circles in Tombstone todsy when A court decision signed by Judge Nave was receIyed by Clerk Wilcox ordering A new trial in the famous Copper Queen back tax case. The court declares his judgment given in favor of the Copper Queen was an error and orde-s new trial This re. o; ems this famous csso, and the terri tory and Cochise county will re-enter the contest for the $200. 900 involved The case was stubbornly contested here last term of court before Judge Nave, Messrs Herring, Sorin and Ellin- wood appearing for the company, while Attorney-Genersl Clark. Pickett & Bowman and " G Gilmore represent ed the territory and county. The case was decided in favor of the company. An appeal is pending and the order for new trial is the latest development which is regarded as a victory for the county.
 The following excerpt is taken from the opinion received tere:
 "l find that my determiD ation upon the point which 1 deemed decisive of this case was unsound. Without much elaboration I may accurately state the substance of the error ac. cepting ss fully sustained by both authority and reason the contention of the plaintiff that whileour sta tutes contemplate the separate assessment of discrete tracts and such separate assessment is for the benefit of the taxpayer, nevertheless the taxpayer may waive theright of separate assess. ment and does so when he returns to the assessor his separate tracts listed as one tract. reasoned that the as- sessment having been made enbloc the board of equalization must raise or lower the assessment ss it finds it iunless under its general authority ii : should cause a reassessment by sepa- rate tracts to furnish separate assess ments of those tracts upon whi h tc act; that professed raise upon an in. cluded tract Is not the raise of an ex- isting assessment: and further tha, under these circumstances the amour, of taxes due upon the tract so raised .cannot be computed so as to comply with the requirement. of Section SS ot the revenue law as amended by Act 93. 1903, because while the tax upon the amount of the increase can be cal culated 1t is impossible to determine what proportion of the assessment, upon the aggregate O! tracts as made by che assessor must fall upon the single included tract. My conclusion was that the raise va. void"
 The opinion then goes at length on the error and sets forth the law on the determinative principle of the law governing same, which is in effect that the company waived their rights hen they choose to list all their mines as one tract, and the equalization board acted within their authority in mak- ing the raise. By reason of the error the judgment is vacated and new trial J ordered
