VALUATION IS SET
 ON UNITED VERDE
Biz Reduction Made But Assessments On Lands Were Confirmed As
 Returned by Campbell.

county assessors, based upon 100 per cent of the 1911 gross produc- ton as the valuation of the pro ducing mines for 1912. Much de bate was indulged in between At torney Anderson and Assessor Campbell. reaching at times, very heated discussion. The board final ly got down to business and by unanimous vote placed an arbitrary valuation of S3,s00,00O on the mines in question, thereby reducing the valuation as returned by the as- scssor sl.iS,zIl. Last year this property was assessed upon valua- tion of Sl,o45,097; as it now stands it amounts to S4,04o0ls.26 or an increase over 1911 of S2,l0s,ol79s.
 The recommendation made on July 9th by the state tax commission to the board on the producing non profitable mines was accepted with out change. This recommendation was coneurred in by the assessor, which shows commendable dis position on the part of the board and assessor to favor activities upon mining property within the county approaching the profitable stage.
 The mine cases having been dis posed of, the land cases were next called, and upon the unanimous ae- ton of the board the assessment as returned by Assessor Campbell was approved. This action was victory for inc assessor, the fight over the valuation of these lands covering the past six years.
 The railroad lands were returned at a valuation of so4.o47.3s and were raised by the assessor to $l6S, .6l or an increase of Sp3, 3,46026 Sev- cral other assessments. notably the j.. w. Sullivan Cattle Go and the Bar Diamond Cattle CO, owning similar classes of land. were likewise raised to the same valuation per acre.
 The Baca Grant, belonging to Lila M and F.. B. Perrin, of Williams Ariz., and comprising 99,42s acres was returned at a valuation of A cents per acre, being raised by tho assessor to one dollar per acre other lands adjoining. and similar ir classification to adjacent railroad lands. were returned at 25 cents pei acre and raised to 60 cents per acre or total increase of $68.8oS5l. The board adjourned as boart of equalization, to meet in August at which meeting they have the same powers as exercised during the pres cnt meeting.

In the superior court yesterday morning at II o'clock. Judge Smith pronounced the sentence of death on William Campbell, colored, con- victed for the murder of Kid" Kirby in this city in May, 1911, designating the day of execution as October II, this year, at the state peniteniiary. Campbell, standing erect, did not appear in the least alarmed or diseoncered over the hearing of his doom for the second time in the identical court room where he was tried and convicted, and in answer to the usual query if he had anything to say why sentence should not he pronounced, answered in clear tone. Nothing whatever"
 He is a man of immense physical ability, and is over six feet five inches in height. He remained stolid and indifferent as he heard the recital of his crime. and when he was remanded to jail had a swinging walk and appeared 10 be in no manner affected.
 Under the statutes governing tho sentence of those condemned to death. sixty days must pass away before a legal death execution car be carried out and not over ninet, days must elapse for carrying our like sentence. hence the fixing oI the day above for the man to expiat' his crime.

The county board of equalization met yesterday morning for final consideration of the annual original tax roll as returned by the county assessor. after having under con sideration for the past ten days the protests entered by the owners of producing patented mines, rail road grant lands and similar lands owned by individuals. including the we'll known baca Grant.
 After considering several minor matters and adjusting the same, the case of the United Verde Copper Company was called. Attorney Le- Roy Anderson representing that company. made statement cover inv the situation for his clients, closing with an offer to compromise on a basis of so per cent of the 1911 gross production or an amount of S2. 8.oO5 as a valuation on the producing mines. It might be bet ter understood that there was no protest from the United Verde on the assessment of their personal property and other real estate hold' ings in the county. After Attorney Anderson had presented his side oi the ease, Assessor Campbell address ed the board at some length, during which he stated that he agreed with the position taken by Mir. Anderson that the theory of a gross tax was not proper one by which to dc teymine the value of mining prop erty. but the basis should be on the net production, inteiligently and properly capitalized. dependent upon the life of the mine. and showed that by this method-which is the one used satisfactorily in the state of Michigan--that the United Verde had a valuation of $26,olO,OOO, as suming that the life of that prop erty as a producer would be twent, years longer. Incidentally, the in formation was presented that Sen ator Clark was paying to the cit, of New York, on his home and contents located therein. tax o Ss5.400 annually, which is nearl, $lO,OOO more than was his entire territorial and county tax on boil mines and railroad for the year 1911 At this juncture Assessor Campbell read two tclegrams from the state tax commissioner which stated tha the county boards of equalization 1T the counties of Cochise, Greenle' and Mohavc had upheld the assess ments as returned by the respective

SPEED LIMIT TO
 BE RIGIDLY ENFORCED (Fyom Supday's Daily)

For exceeding the speed limit in riding horse through the city. and in being too reckless in handling the animal, w. J. Berry was fined sl0 yesterday by City Judge J. II. Robinson. This amount was paid and the rider left for Lynx Creek. Berry had very narrow escape in inflicting serious injury on a little girl of about five years of age at the corner of Gurley and Coriez streets, who was showing her doll carriage from one side to the other. The horse came along at a swift rate of speed and when it reached the girl evidently appreciated the seriousness of the situation by leap ing high in the air and passed over the little vehicle and narrowly missed hitting the girl. Eye wit. nesses of the affair stated that il was a miraculous escape. Judge Robinson states that the. speed ordinance will be rigidly enforced and reckless horscmen as we'll a, others will be summarily handled. ir order that pedestrians will not b, compelled to perform physical stunt, to escape injury that the trained athlete only is capable of evadins on certain conditions associated witt the speed craze that seems io b, epidemic these days.

,From Wednesdays Daily.)

Monday in the superior court, the motion for new trial in the celebrated horse case of Clarence Williams vs. James Loy was over ruled, and an order made for the payment 10 the latter of the sum of $2O0 by the bondsmen of Williams. This was the last trick played in one of the most noted local horse controversies that has ever been under judicial considera- ton in this district, and had its inception from a criminal action in which Williams retained Loy as counsel. IL has been all around the legal circle in one issue and another, including demurrers galore, heated professional bickerings. motions, de- lays and other trival spasms in- cidental 10 the legal sparring game, and finally it winds up at the last goal, with Loy as the victor.
