Mohave County miner., 1909-12-18

The Copper Queen mining company
 has organized benefit corporation
 for It's employees. The proposition is
 to bring all or nearly all of the em.
 ployes together on mutual benefit plan to cover sickness, accidents Ol death. If fifty per cent of the en- ployes contribute to the maintenance of the benefit association during the year the Copper Queen company will donate the sum of l5,000$ to the organization, and if 75 per cent of the employees come the company will donate 26,0O0$ each year. It is aimed at the alleviation of distress among the families of employers, as well as the employees themselves. In case of death there will be distributed to the famil, of deceased sum approximating g. O0O$. Sickness or accidents bring benefits to the amount of one-half the daily rate to pay received by the beneficiary at the time of the accident or beginning of his illness. The plan
 is one of the best that has been brought to our notice and ought to be popular among the employees of the big copper company.
 This week the board of supervisors entered into an agreement for the set clement of the back taxes of the Ari. zona & Utah railroad company (nou the Western Railway of Arizona) on basis of approximately 4,O00$, the com pany also agreeing to pay it's taxes in full for the year 1909. The settlement is an excellent one for both the county and the railroad company, as it brings about an amicable understanding be- tween the parties. Hereafter tax will be collected from the Western Rail- way on an assessed valuation placed upon it by the state board. The mat ter of collection of taxes from this company has been before the courts several years and at one time it looked as though the county had lost out on account of an agreement to allow the action in the Grand Canyon railroad case to dispose of the Mohave county case. It was afterward found that the causes were dissimiar and that the agreement was entered into unwit- tingly, and the court was asked to re- view it's action, with the result that the railroad company came forward with proposition for settlement. M,- have county gets nice little sum from the settlement in which it stood in need at the present time, the var ious internal Improvements having drawn heavily on all the funds during the past year.
