TERRITORIAL ROAD TAX
Board of Supervisors Not Authorized
to Levy Over 5 Gents on Each
500 Valuation

Two weeks ago the Sentinel
called attention to the 25 cent
levy made by the board Of super
visors for special territorial road
tax, and set forth that the board
had unnecessarily put upon the
people an unjust and burdensome
tax for which there could be no
adequate compensation. The
Examiner Immediately rushed to
the defense of the board, and in
two issues the democratic Or
gan" attempted by labored dis
guisitions to justify the maximum
levy.
AS a mater of fact, under the
territorial road tax law the board
of supervisors had no authority
to make a higher levy than five
cents on each SI00 valuation. as
there are no territorial roads
being built in the county.
The Examiner seems to take
the position that the fund raised
from this levy may be used indis-
criminateiy for any county road
work. This is obviously not the
case; it can only be used for ter
ritorial road purposes. The law
on the subject is as follows.
Section Z, page ZAP, Session
Laws 25th Legislature, says:
"The Board of Control shall
for the years 1909 and 1910 fix
and determine the mount of ter
ritorial road tax, not to exceed
five cents on each one hundred
dollars Of assessed valuation of
taxable property, which shall be
leVled by the territorial auditor
in all counties where no. road
is being done or to be done on
territorial road during the time
which such tax is levied, and the
Board Of Control shall for the
years 1909 and 1910 fix and de-
termine the amount of territorial
road tax, not exceeding twenty
FIVE cents on each 800 of the
assessed valuation of taxable
property, which shall be levied
by the territorial auditor in all
counties where territorial roads
are TO be constructed during the
period for which said levy is
made; which said levy shall be
assessed for the purpose of i'm
proving the existing territorial

Big Strike at fiarqua haIa

Another mining excitement is
on near the Bonanza mine in the
Harqua Haia mountains near
Wen3en, following the discovery
of rich gold bearing ore few
days ago by Gabriel Garcia and
Indian Jack.
The discovery was purely an
accidental one, and the two men
were surprised at uncovering the
unexpected ledge that gave such
values. They were hunting in
that section at the time, and no
ticiug a cropping that gave no
Indication of having mineral
values, a piece was chipped off
and the gold plainly exposed.
They cid "a little work later and
the same conditions continued.
The ore brought from the strike
is quartz carrying oxidized
iron, and is what is usually term
ed a conglomerate, haying vari
Gus combinations of the country
formation.

Reservation Opening

The manner announced by the
Interior department of opening
the Yuma Indian reservation has
been much criticized by those
desirous of fling on the lands,
chiefly on account Of the neces-
STATED trip to Los Angeles. The
lands to be fled on March / con-
stitute less than half the area of
the reservation. Irrespective of
the acreage to be allowed the
dispossessed Indians, the amount
of which is as yet unannounced,
there will remain a considerable
tract to be opened later. If the
Indians get but five acres, this
will be nearly equal to the March
opening. Already seekers after
farm units on the reservation are
dropping into Yuma, and by the
end of the next two weeks quite
a concourse of land hungry indi
viduals is looked for. 1t is re-
Quired that all 6lerS shall have
been on the reservation first, and
the fling at Los Angeles will be
on the principle of first come
first served. The opening March
1 will involve three townSite-

Opium SnlugglGrs
Captured with The
Goods

United States immigration In
spector w. A. Brazie and Deputy
Customs Collector Miles O..
Archibald on last Friday night
captured in Cotton, Cal, at re-
volver points, It. J. Murphy and
W. L. Harris, members of an or
ganized band of opium SNUG
glers, whose operations along
the Mexican border bave been
extensive and hitherto success
full. The capture was made after
a patient trailing and shadowing
of two weeks time. Brazie got
on the trail of the smugglers and
called Archibald into the game.
They kept track of the suspected
parties for the time mentioned
and eventually followed them
toward Los Angeles, boarding
the same train. Fearing to
wait until they got to the city,
they held up the men at Cotton,
arrested them, and Ii search
brought to light smuggled opium
valued at $4,000. This, under
the present law, must be de-
stroyed. Formerly, before the
importation of the drug was pro-
hibited, the government sold the
smuggled goods thus captured
and the officers received 90 per
cent of the proceeds. Archibald
and Brazie would cheerfully call
back the sweep of time year or
so, as that prospective So, 400
loomed up on the horizon entic-
ingly. As it is, the capture of
Murphy and Harris reflects
great credit on the vigilance and
daring of the two officers, aud
they were most decidedly in the
limelight during their stay in
Los Angeles.

ences and have agreed to "get

been taken toward the forma-
ton of party club, and mass
meeting of all republicans ire
spectiVe of faction or past or
present grievances is called to
convene in Eagles hall
next Tuesday evening, February
8, to organize and elect officers.
There are stern fights ahead
during the next year and it be-
hooves all republicans to hold
together against the common
party foemen. Those who do not
care to do this should definitely
enroll in democratic ranks. The
vote a man casts determines bis

on himself. Republican harmony
and organization are all that is
necessary to wipe up the earth

Thursday, February 10, is the
date set for the installation Of
a train service from San Diego
to Tia Juana, over the new line
of the San Diego and Arizona
Railroad, which is bound for
Yuma.
Construction work on the
westerly end of this line is being
pushed ahead rapidly. Ten
miles Of grading below Tia Juana
is nearing completion and prep
arations are being made for the
advertising for bids for further
extensions in Mexican territory
along the surveyed route of the
Arizona road.
South from San Diego rails
have been laid as far as Otay
river, d distance of about ten
miles. A gang of men is now
employed surfacing up the rails
over the last stretch laid from
the Sweetwater valley to Otay.
When this has been done the
men will cross the river and
commence laying and surfacing
the tracks to the Mexican line, a
distance of between six and
eight miles.

thirteen. Supervisor W. E. Mar
win, VIM. McFatter and others
in Yuma hold nearby claims.
The ledge on the claims of Rae
and DeCorse has an l8 inch
streak in it which has been fol-
lowed 2eO feet and samples taken
from it run as high as 1900
ounces of silver to the ton. Some
gold also is found. Old miners
claim the formation is chloride,
similar to the Comstock district
in Nevada. The results of de-
velopment work may cause a
rush to the new strike, which is
q miles north of Dome station.
Rae and DeCorse have a force Of
eight men at work on their ledge
and are preparing to make a

ues in bulk. They have mapped
