State Mineral Land Assessor

Virginia over last year of near

Land Assessor james a Stone. .
today gave ont a detailed state .
ment of the new assessment by .
counties. For 1910 the valua- .
ton is S25. .o65 .72G.55. ar against
SIG, ,92s for 1909.
This is Mr.. Stones first year
i'm office. and he naturally feels
proud of the results achieved.
He was appointed 60 the posi-
tion last March. following an
appropriation made by the
legislature for the purpose Of
permitting the state corporation
commission 60 employ an
assessor 20 give his entire time
TO seeing that mineral property
i'm the state was properly as
sessed for taxation. He has
been at work ever since his
appointment. Seventy-six coun
ties have been visited and
sixty.six Of these appear on the
list as having taxable mineral
lands. Only thirty-five counties
had such land according TO the
returns of 1909.
In the division Of work among
members Of the state corpora
iion commission. the assess
ment OF mineral lands was
assigned and undertaken by
Judge William +. Rhea. Ia
1907. the year prior 20 his ap
pointmeut, the total mineral
valuation in Virginia was
1900 600. This year 1t rs SO,
600. 600
But Judge Rhea found IL
impossible from his office in
Richmond 20 direct "a satisfac
tory assessment. Some asses.
sors did not DO their whole duty
and others did not understand
what was wanted. So he asked
the legislature TO appropriate
money to employ field agent
The result is nearly 80 600 OO'
Of additional taxable value.
No county east of Richmon,
appears on the list, as there Il
practically no mineral IN tina
part of the state. 10 is under
stood that some operations have
been recently begun IN y Norl
and NansemOnd. and these vii
be looked after next year.
Not all the commissioners o
the revenue came across easIi,

MISS HALL N YUMA
 TO STUDY THE PEOPLE
Fitting Herself to Write the Stories of Scenes Laid on Banks of
 Tawney Colorado.

The Yuma Sentinel pays this com pllment to Miss Sharlot NJ. Hall. of Phoenix:
 Miss Sharlot M. Hall, Arizona his torian. is in Yuma for somewhat extended stay. which will enable her to become better acquainted with the locality and the people, who have been making history here since the earliest days in Arizona. Few cities of the southwest have been the scene of such s,tirring romantic life, or re- tain. so much of the picturesque. while entering upon an era of such rapid and substantial development. and of this every visitor must be keenly appreciative.
 In Yuma the romance of yester- day and the progress of today blend to form an atmosphere peculiarly fascinating to the writer and artist and 1t is not too much to predict that this region will have it's own place in literature and arts as well as in history.
 Twenty eight years ago Miss Hall. then girl, rode into Arizona on horseback. having ridden for near ly two thousand miles beside the lit tie wagon train in which her par ents. pioneers of the great plains. followed the frontier on westward.
 Since that time she has travelled on horseback or by wagon over most of the remote sections of Arizona and the poems. stories and illustrated articles resulting from these trips have attracted much at tention both in the west and the east.
 one of the most valued results of these trips overland is a great col lection Of articles and objects of historical and ethnological value and large number of manuscripts re- cording the lives and experiences of the early pioneers.
 Miss Hall has been deeply interest cd to mark the graves of forgot ten pioneers and a poem written just after visiting the grave yard at La Psz. near Ehrenburg, where the drift ing sands are slowly hiotiing out all mark of the graves. has been widely copied. especially in the east.
 Four years ago during the summer high water. Miss Hall made brief journey up the Colorado river on the old steamer CVchan and wrote d Song of the Colorado" which has been included in some recent autholo- gies of American poetry.
 She has several books approach ing completion including d volume of poems and one of snort stories.
 An important feature of her work for several years has been lectures on Arizona history and frontier life. which work is now including talks In all the schools.
