COMPLETES WORK
 OF EQUALIZATION
COUNCIL WILL FIX HIGH TAX RATE THE FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER.

The city council met yesterday as the board of equalization to con clude the work of that board. The assessent of the Bisbee-Naco Water company was first considered. The manager of the company had object ed to the raise made by the board at Monday nights meeting After going over the details of the as- sessment the board decided that the raise was just and voted to let it stand.
 Sam Rosenstein, who had ob- jected strongly to the raise in his assessment, was again on deck ask ing for a reduction. The board had raised his assessment on stock from S7OO to $500, which was giving the stock. a valuation beyond what Sam says it is worth. The board lower ed the assessment to $1100.
 Four assessments were lowered on complaints from property owners after which the board of equaliza ton voted to adopt the other as sessments that were raised. The board then adjourned. The tax rate will be fixed on the first Monday in September. and judging from th' discussion among the aldermen i will be set at the highest possible
 figure allowable by the law.

TAX RATE IS S2.55
 NOT s2.O5 AS STATED
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR MAKES FIGURE APPEAR FIFTY CENTS LOWER THAN IT IS.

Owing to a typographical error the tax rate set by the county board was given as s2.05 in yesterdays paper. The board fixed the rate at $2.55 on the hundred dollars of assessed valuation. a raise of twenty-five cents over the rate of 1909.
 The increase in rate is in ac- cordance with the statement that appeared in a recent issuee of the Review and was necessary to re- duce the floating debt of this county. This debt. according to fig ures furnished by Supervisor Bow en. amounts to about S2OO,0O0.
 In speaking of the raise in the tax rate Mir. Bowen stated that it will go a long way towards wiping out the floating debt, and will save the county from being ultimately forced to issue bonds, which would have been necessary had not the board seen fit to add to the 1910 levy. as the floating debt was grad ually increasing.

SHELTON 5O
 YEARS OLO |S
 FOUND IN AJOS
Also Rifle of the Type Used in the Mexican War; and Other Things of Much h. tereSt.

George Dunn who is developing his
 mining property in the Ajo noun tains of Sonora arrived in Bisbee yes terday morning and will leave again
 today for the property.
 Recently while exploring a deep canyon in the Ajos. about which lit. tie is known, MT. Dunn found the skeleton os a man who had to all ap- pearances been dead for fifty years or more probably since before the Civil War The skeleton was partly decomposed but had been so shelter ed that the skull was in perfect con dition Beside the bones a rife of the old muzzle loading type was found.
 From the way the body lay and what was with it leads Mir. Dunn to believe that the man came to his death from natural causes. On one side of the skeleton there was an ola which had apparently contained food and on the other side was another olla that must have been used for water A few round bullets that had been roughly hammered out of lead were in an old badly decomposed pouch and there was an old powder flask containing a little powder that had caked with age The clothing worn by this man whoever he was. was gone with the exception of a few pieces of rough cloth
 There were no indications to tell whether the man had been American Mexican or an Indian. although Mr. Dunn believes that from the shape ol the head and the outfit the man was probably an American.
 The old rife tells something of the story or rather brings to mind sug- gestions. It is one of the pattern that was called Windsor during the time Of the Mexican war. It was made in the New England states and some of the troops in the Mexican war were armed with this gun, which was at that time considered a first class rife. The stock was extended to the end of the barrel. which was very long and the lock was of the percussion cap variety with a heavy hammer working from the side.
 The remains of this man. probably one Of the earliest of the American of the Southwest. were buried by Mir Dunn near where they were found. In speaking of his grue- some find. Mir. Dunn stated that 70 all appearances the man had campel hear where he met his death. There Is water nearby and the mountains were then. as now full of game He had supplied himself with something 10 eat and carried up water in ths llla and probably being i'll had stretch ed out in his blankets and died, as -here was no sign of any violence and the remains were reclining in a per 'ectly natural position which they had kept during all the years that must have passed since death overlook his man alone in what was at that ime a wild unknown country.
 The canyon in which this skela- on was found is way out Of the line Jf travel of the few who cross the Ajos and probably Mir. Dunn is tho irst man to enter it in many years. some of the relics that were found beside the remains were kept by Mir Dunn and will be added to his large collection of historic relics and curiO- 5ities.

JEWELS FOR EVERY CROWN
Seml-Precious Stones Are Being Used
with the Best OF Effect Just
Now.

For those who cannot afford hand
some jewelry in precious stones and
for those also who want change
from the conventional, there are love-
ly effects to be worked out in such
semi-precious stones as lapis lazuli,
light emeralds or amethysts. Cos
tunes matched in such accessory are
smartly finished. For instance, one
young woman is wearing on the little
finger of her right hand a huge silver
ring of Greek design, embedded with
a very dark cabuchon lapis lazuli. It
is used with navy blue serge Rus
STA blouse, the black satin belt held
at the front by two antique silver
buckles. Another instance of original
and beautiful jewelry is carried out
In the pale emeralds, which are lovely
in Opaque, light green. The owner
wears them as rings, five stones in a
row set low in Roman gold, and there
is bar pin to match with the stones
cut round and set in full relief. With
a black gown, embroidered at yoke in
green and gold, these trinkets are
stunning. Amethysts are lovely with
suits or gowns that shade into that
color. The golden topaz has come
into great favor.-Vogue.

''In Dowlais,. South Wales, about hf.
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, It Is the most
terrible disease of its kind that I
know Of, as It itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out Of the question and you
feel as II a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. I
knew a dozen families that were so
affected.
1.-THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts Of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as q last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to
tell you that after few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
In all cases.
II may add that my three brothers,

A new TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY

The above caption about represents

such was the case. There Is not a

ment in any of the three Provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to Its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense Of tuition H.

The final returns Of the grain pro
duction for Central Canada for 1903 Is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers Of
that country is about 1876 million dol.
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, viii
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers OF
Central Canada is seen In the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
II Is said that fifty thousand people OF
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends In the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. It need
not be asked, Can they afford it,"
With crops yielding them profit Of
$40 to $26 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
In the different states, and they all ~,
press themselves as well satisfied.
and promise to take some Of their
friends back with them. There IL still
a lot of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at reasonable price from
