 Courtland Arizonan: At the Number Three shaft, of the Teion Mining company at Gleason, the old boiler house was torn down. the boiler removed and grading start ed for the new building. The shaft which is now down 235 feet is to be sunk to the 800 foot level. There are 2000 feet of drifts in the old workings, and as the water stands at no feet from the surface, the unwatering of the mine is no slight task. i
 Parker Post: The operations of the Lees Ferry Placer Mining company near Lees Ferry on the Colorado river in the extreme edge of Arizona are far more extensive than generally appreciated. The company is spending about $500, 900 in putting in machinery for working placer ground of known richness in probably the most re- mote section of the southwest, the most available railroad station being Flagstaff, about 150 miles distant. Down to the mouth of the little Colorado the canyon of the Colorado is rich in placer gold. Lees Ferry ows its name to John D. Lee, chief of the Danites who hid in the canyon for two years following the Mountain Meadow massacre. He is known to have worked placer diggings that return ed richly in gold for the labor of only few men, but the location of those bodies seems never to have been divulged to anyone outside of his original party. Whether the modern company now working has struck the famous old John D. Lees diggings or not is question. It is believed more likely that Lee found his nuggets in some side canyon in small pockets.

GOOD LUCK FOR rIENA.

Last week the city council, after
thoughtful consideration, selected
the men it most desired to take
charge of the affairs of the city as
concerned in the new waterworks
plans.
In selecting these commissioners,
it was realized that they would, in
large measure, have the future vel
fare and prosperity of Mena in their
hands.
They would not only have the ex-
penditure Of thousands Of dollars,
but wosld have the direction of the
entire enterprise the responsibility
for success or failure.
The men selected for all this work,
and work it is, were JOHN THoMP-
SON, M. MARTINY and G. W. PETTY.
Not word of objection came
from the people to the choice GER
tainly a compliment to them and TO
the judgment.of the council
But two, Mr.. Martiny and MIR.
Petty, hesitated to accept the duties
and it looked as though others
must be chosen.
But at the last minute, both con-
sented to render the service asked
a service in which there is absolute
IL no reward save that which comes
through the betterment of their city
and the appreciation of the people
their neighbors and fellow citizens.
Mr.. Thompson has worked hard
and faithfully with the old commits
sion, and takes the larger duties with
full knowledge of what they are.
Messrs. Petty and Martiny are
both men whose business ability has
been proven by their own success.
Mena is fortunate in having citizens
who are willing to make sacrifices
for the greater good Others have
done just such work in the past, and
must do so in the future.
Let us give all aid and credit to
such men.

TO the People Of Mena,
In an issue of the Star Of the 18th
inst, there appears an article signed
by r. c. Mccoy, candidate for mayor
on the Citizens ticket, the apparent
object of which is to set forth the
policies which he would carry out if
elected mayor of Mena. The article,
however while purportine to set forth
his policies, casts reflection on the
present city administration by infer
ing that none of his policies have
heretofore been in force My only
object in replying to the article is in
defense of this unwarranted criticism.

ciples.
LIST. He SAYS there should be no
politics in municipal affairs, and the
people should expect a declaration of
this kind from a candidate, endorsed
by no political party. and this asser-
ion is nothing more or less than a
bait thrown out to catch those whose
politics are unknown, and those who
have no politics at all. His inference
is that if polititics are allowed in
municipal affairs the beautifying of
the city viii be neglected
End. He states that he advocates
a water system, and that every man
should pay according to the benefit
received. The act of May 8. 1901
Sections 5676 and 5677 Of Kirby 5
Digest-provides that the assessment
shall be made according to the benefits
receiped. and a board of assessors

of benefits to be received, By reason
OF the improvement. The law pro-
hibits the assessment being based on
the valuation Of the property. and DR..

that they had to increase their rates
in order to make a just return on
the money invested in the railroad
property; and the amount they
claimed in court that their property
was worth was double what they are
now paying taxes on.
IL think it is a poor rule that will
not work both ways. If their proper
ty was worth so great an amount for
the purpose of taxing the people,
then it ought to be worth that much
for us TO tax them.
For that reason | have intro
duced Senate Bill No. 1893, which
raises their taxable values from a
little more than Sixty Five Million
Dollars up to little more than One
Hundred and Thirty-Three Million
Dollars, an increase of more than
Sixty-five Million Dollars.
1.-THE railroads ought not to COM
plain. for they have sworn in the
courts that this is the true value of
their property.
II hope to pass the BILL
The bill gives the Tax Commission
ers power to take over and perform
all the duties now performed by the
Railroad Commissioners, thus doing
away with the railroad commission.
Section provides for the valuation
of railroad property as follows:
Whenever any railroad, dining
car company, sleeping car company,
express company, or telegraph COM
pany shall by any process at law,
seek to enjoin or otherwise prevent
the enforcement of any freight or
passenger rate that shall be made by
the Railroad Commission, or any
law enacted by the General Assemb-
ly of the State of Arkansas, and if
they shall in such proceedings. make
claims or representations as to the
value of their property, for the pur-
pose of showing that the freight or
passenger rate sought to be estab-
lished by the Railroad Commission
or by law by the General Assembly
does not give them a fair return for
the money invested, then the Tax
Commission ia valuing the property
of said companies for taxation, shall
use the valuation as placed on said
property by the companies them
selves"
1t will be interesting to see what
sort of argument the railroad attor.
neys will put forth to discredit Mr..
Mr.. Logan's bill.

Rational Brevities.

Acts of self-sacrifice are often CO...
r ed to such extremes az 70 consti.
tute real vice
Truth is an entity sometimes OBJ.
scured for time; but all the powers
that be cannot destroy its force.
1t is the duty of every real good
citizen to devote at least little
thought to something good he may
do for his city, if it's only to make q
good suggestion.
If ones character and general
department merits your confidence,
bestow it freely in word and act.
If you have no home, better get
one, as neither Opportunity or For
tune can knock at your door so long
as you have none.
Social force has assumed such 4
power that it is highly important
that its rules should be revised SO al
to conform to tone morality.
Malicious, spiteful efforts directed
at persons or things may hurt their
victims but will rebound and kill
characters who send them forth.
Fanaticism is result of an alb
normal condition of mind, which
disqualifies on for discreet though,

variably an injury to whatever causs

recall was hanging over our officers in
general, and when they were recalled
that changed their ruling or acts,
would not that put stop to any
officer being bought? Let me say here
that the Socialists do not claim to
have more honest men than any
other party. but if we can remove the
temptation almost any man would be
honest. A trust would not buy be-
cause few men could not deliver
the goods. Socialism will do away
with all parties. because it win make
no difference about mans party,
but what he stands for. We will al
ways divide on questions, but as it
will be settled by a majority vote.
what use will we have for parties?
(This is only the writer's opinion.)
Let me say here that Socialism
may destroy the home or religion. OF
may not, but when Republicans,
Democrats and Independents favor
and are giving lis socialism in small
doses, and the socialists are bowling
everywhere, who, oh who, will save
US from socialism?
