the way from $5.90 per acre in Cqchise to as high as $50.79 in Yuma. The Yavapai basis was adopted resulting in the raising of the total net assessment above the level under the old system. The Yavapai rate is $39.67.
 The previous assessments in the counties will show where the llnket rate will net increases or decreases: Cochise, $5.90; Gila, $473; Gra- ham, $420; Maricopa, $3730; Mo- have, $4423; Pima, $4757; Pinal, $50.42; Santa Cruz, $27.55; Yava- pal, $3767; Yuma, $50.79.
 This means that the Cochise county non-producing mines were assessed at an increase of $23.67 per acre over the $5.90 which had been previously assessed and will average approximately $7934 as- essment for each claim in this county. It is not known whether the Cochise board will accept this raise and the matter will be aired at the meeting on Monday next.
 The raise on patented non pro- ducing mines last year was 600 per cent, which is approximately .he percentage of raise this year. The Cochise board, however, only placed the raise on the rolls as far as would apply to the territory's share of taxation, viz; 75 cents per hundred. It is probable similar action will be considered by the board this year. The raise includ- ing the regular county tax would mean a burden that would arouse vigorous protest and the method adopted to save the Cochise owner was strategic move that was gen. orally approved and the easiest way out of the dilemma. .-Prospec- tor.

Raise in Mine Taxation.

The territorial board of equaliza- tion has closed up its work and the substantial results of the session announced. The most important was in respect to the equalization of the assessments on non-produc- ing mines in the various counties, in which adjustment the board adopted the Yavapai rate per acre as the standard for all the coun. ties in the territory.
 The previous basis ranged all

The Tax Rate.

In accordance with law the board of supervisors met as county board of equalization on Monday, and was in session that and the day following, to hear protests against raises made in assessments and to fix the tax rate for the cur rent year. A number of taxpayers appeared and in some cases the as- sessment laid against their prop erty was cut down little, but there was no appreciable reduction in the tax roll as returned and re- vised by the board in its first sit ting as a board of equalization.
 The law requires the tax levy to be made on the third Monday in August. Owing to washouts on the railway and interrupted communi- cation there had not been received the official notification of the territorial tax levy as made by the territorial board of equalization bnt in the absence of such official notice the board assumed that the rate as published in the territorial newspapers last week is correct and made the rate for Santa Cruz county accordingly. The published rate for the territory was eighty cents on each one hundred dollars, with special territorial road tax of five cents. With that the rate adopted by the county was $1.70, making total rate for the terri tory and the county of $3.55. That is reduction of twenty-five cents upon the one hundred dollars from the rate of last year. As the terri torial tax has been raised five cents, and there has been levied the five cents additional for the territorial road fund, the reduction in the county tax is about thirty-five cents on each one hundred dollars, which is due to the greatly in creased assessment as made this year.

Mill MAY Be MOVED TO THIS CITY
President Parks Says That Future Development of Prop
erty Will Settle Question Of Moving Plant from Milers.

That the Belmont will be the next
mining company to sink to a greater
depth, was made public last even
ing in a statement from R. G.
Parks, president of the company,
who arrived yesterday afternoon
from his home in Philadelphia. It
has always been the custom of Mr.
Parks to visit Tonopah semi-annu-
ally, in order that he will be en-
abled to keep in closer touch with
his interests here. He arrived at
Goldfeld yesterday noon on the
Clark road, and was met by Super
intendent Brady Of the Belmont,
and continued the journey to this
city in the latter's auto.
President Parks was optimistic il
his views regarding the future OF
the Belmont and dwelt at length OF
the future policy of the company.
THE latest plan decided upon by
the directors" he said, lis to sins
to a greater depth. This work vii
be done in the old Belmont shaft
As you are aware, we are now sink.

ing this shaft, and also raising from
the 1000-foot level. and when the
connections are made, the shaft will
be continued until the ~1500-foot
point is reached. At first, however.
the upper portion Of the shaft will
be enlarged to a three-eompartment
affair, which will necessitate a small
delay. The work of raising is be-
ing conducted on the three-compart-
ment plan and when the connection
is made this will be carried on up
to the top. According to Superin-
tendent Brady's figures, the two
workings should meet within a
month. as about eight feet is being
made daily"
Mr.. Parks was asked concerning
the rumor that the Belmont mill
would be moved to this city from
Millers.
This matter has been thoroughly
discussed by the directors of the
company, and it is highly probable
that the future will witness the
bringing of the plant to Tonopab.
The removal depends upon the open
ing up Of ore bodies in the mine
that will justify the large expense
