An example Of the alleged working Of
the new assessment was given this even
ing when a property owner cited to re-
porter for The Star the case of frame
house assessed for $3.50 under the old as
sessment and increased to 5000 under the
new assessment. while an adjoining
house of practically the same construc-
ton was increased from $3.50 to $500. In
other words. the two houses being prac-
tically the same, there was a variation of
$500. This matter doubtless will be
brought to the attention of the court by
the owner.
Other cases are being cited. especially
of houses on the outskirts. assessed at
what their owners declare the full value,
while much larger buildings in other
parts of the city In some instances are
assessed, 1t Is said, for not more than
three-fourthS of what their owners would
sell them for 1t also Is pointed out that
assessments on some fine houses in the
best residential section of the city have
only been increased a few hundred dol
lars, with an increase Of $1,000 on some
in the extreme outskirts, where values,
II anything. are depreciating.

(Globe Belt)

Superintendent T. W. Hamilton of the Cactus mine is expected to re- turn to Globe within few days, after an extended business trip in the east. Since he left Globe, Mir Hamilton has visited Duluth and other eastern cit ies in the interests of the Cactus Cop per company, which has recently taken over the thirty-eight claims for merly worked by the Cactus Develop ment company. During T. w. Ham ilton's absence W. H. Hamilton. mechanical engineer of the Cactus Copper company, have been in charge of affairs at the mine. where the work is progressing along the usual lines.
 The developments during the last few months at the Cactus mine have been of a most encouraging nature. At the present rate the Cactus prop erty will. in the course of a year. take rank among the great proven mines in the Globe district, such as the Miami. Inspiration and Live Oak. The development work to date has not. Of course. definitely blocked out any volume of ore that can compare with that developed by the more pow erful companies in the Miami district. but it is the opinion of engineers who made careful examination of the Cac- tus property that the resources avail able there have never yet been fully by the general public. This lack of knowledge Of the true value of the Cactus mine is due. no doubt. in large measure. to its distance from Globe and the very conservative poll cies Of the company's management
 IL has been determined, however. that the altered schist body, which is

 On the contrary he had made an assignment Of his property for the benefit Of these two complaining creditors and his wife had turned over her property so that it went into the assignment All debts had been paid and there was still left some. thing Of ths estate
 This statement was made by Mir Worsely to coutrovert a statement oi the prosecution that WooddeI had obtained possession of the money on the eve Of bankruptcy. The supreme court will hand down an opinion in ihis case at the March meeting.

Because of this great success Duluth Is to take bod of them ana sell the capital shares. The public may wonder why if such a tremendous success has been made of them. that their owners come to Duluth to have the business continued. But it may be the Duluth men went to them. That Is more apt to have been the move ment
 These Swedish copper mines may be the biggest anywhere. We note that some of our engineers pronounce them magnificent. but our advice would be to let the Swedish people in Sweden. have the opportunity of continuing the great success" that has thus far marked the operation oi these copper deposits. It would real iy be too bad to go to that littie country and rob it of so great a prop erty while it's people are needing money so badly.

1 WOODDELL CASE IN SUPREME COURT
ACCUSED OF EMsEZzLCmENT s/ WOMAN WHO CAVE HIN MONEY TO INVEST.

PHOENIX. Jan 26-The case of A. D Wooadell, who ~as convicted m Pima county Of embezziement was argued in the supreme court yesterday. The conviction of the appellant was secured last October and he was sen 5enced to two years and a half in the pen.teHtiary Attorney A. A worsely appeared for WooddeH and the office of the attorney general was represent ed by Benton Dlck of Tucson.
 The argument of Nr Worsely tend ed to show that his client instead of beins guilty of a crime was tein- peramentally unfortunate and that his misfortune in this respect had given his acts criminal appearance. It was charged against him that he had secured about sl000 each of Annie Duncan and a Mrs. McFadden. repie- sentng to them that he would invest their money in such @ gay that it wodid draw a greater rate Of interest than they were Icceivng from the bank where it was deposited; that instead. he invested the money in his own business and that when it was demanded Of him he refused to pay t. He went to trial only on the com. piaint of Miss Duncan.
 The territory made much of the fact that she was a consumptive and that she had demanded the return oi her money only when it became evi. dent that she had not long to live and had decided to return to her home in Indiana. On this bare showing without statement from the other side there was SO great indignation in the community that jury was SC cured with the greatest difficulty. , At the trial it was shown that the defendant resented the first request upon him for the return of the money and that he indicated that he would return il when he got ready. It was i also brought out that when Attorney Sawtelle for Miss Duncan subsequent ly went to the defendant about the money and told him of her distress ing physical condition, WooddelI ad vised that she take a strychnine pill and forget it."
 All this was admit 2d bv t's dc fense and explained. iho.sE. evidentls not to tae satisfaction or the jury It was pointed out that Wrnidcil was getting well along lE years. and was of an irritable disposition rendered worse by business regerses It wa not meant by his prescription of a ~sirychnine pill'' that Miss Duncan should die. MT. woodda;l had iF mind that she took such pias regular ly for the relief of heart affection He meant that if she wcull take an other piB she would feel l.cttc1. aud in an improved physical coadltien would not worry SO muca ai,out mon ey matters.

GENERAL ELECTRIC
 WELL SUPPLIED

BOSTON, Jan. 26.-GeneraI Flee tric is well covered with copper for some months to come at a cost of under 1872 cents per pound. Ever since the 1907 experience. when near .ly s1.ooO.O0O had to be written off the books on account Of copper deprecia- tion. General Electric has pursued a rather hand-to-mouth policy in filling its copper requirements.
 General Electric officials are so we'll satisfied that copper will main tain its present level for some months .to come that they are actually re- .s1rlcJng somewhat the output of their
 Buily hill mine in California Bully
 itl for the past few months has been turning ont 600,O00 pounds Of copper per month. This is a production of
 slightly better than 100000 pounds per annum, or perhaps i2 per cent Of the total copper req IreiHents of the big electrical company Last summer Bully Hill got it's production
 uD to the ate of be-;e- than $500. 900 pounds yearly.
 Present plans of the management are to hold Bully Hill production at not exceeding 500,000 pounds monthly so long as copper remains at around its present figure. No important con- sfruction or development plans for inr | creasiBg production are in hand. Ger eral Electric has in Bully Hill a nline which can just as easily produce 10, per per annum as 6.000,0 900 pounds. Teh productive capacity viii not come
