SUGGESTS SUPERVISORS
 COMPOSE TAX BOARD

BISBEE. Aug. 2S.-Aboiish the state tax commission and make the chairman of the board of super visors in each county a member of a new tax commission, also have the chairman of the supervisoral boards at the county seat daily to attend to all business for the board, is the suggestion made by Gus Hickey. He states that he is not asking this for himself, that he would willingly step aside and let another have the chairmanship in Coehise county if desired, but that he makes the suggestion for the good of the people of the state.
 Mir. Hickey does not believe that the new duties which he would have imposed upon the chairman of the different boards of supervisors should be performed at the pres ent salary, but thinks that if such officer gives his entire time to the business of the county he should be compensated accordingly. should receive the same salary as the sher- ifs. or say $5.0OO per year in the first class counties and $3.000 per year in the second class counties. He would have many of the mat ters that are now cared for by the whole board or its clerks submitted in the first place to the chairman and have many of the board du- ties devolve upon the chairman. As Mir. Hickey Is one of the mos, successful business men of the city l it Is evident that he is not seeking political plum for himself as ii would not pay him to neglect his business as he would have to do and give his whole time and atten. ton to county affairs.
 The suggestion of tax com mission made up from each county is somewhat along the lines approv' ed at the meeting of county assess ors, that was held in this city Then the assessors proposed that county assessors from all of the counties should compose state tas board. For the plan it is claimed that had such arrangement been ir operation the present tangle rela' tive to valuations of mines would not and could not have risen.

Two years ago the same species did much dam age to alfalfa in the Salt River val ley When my attention was first called to 1t then I predicted that it would soon disappear and not be noticed again for years. This pre- diction was based upon an examina- ton showing that nearly all the worms-although apparently healthy were parasitized.

SHOOTS HIMSELF TO
 PUT END TO MISERY CFrom Thursdays DAily.)

J. w, Dunlap. formerly rest dent of this city. and carpenter by vocation, committed suicide in Los Angeles last Sunday afternoon by shooting himself through the head
 He was a sufferer with cancer of the face. and left Prescott several months ago to receive medical treat ment A surgical operation was performed on his face. and the greater portion of the left side was removed without staying the fatal afflietion. Realizing that 1t was but matter of but few months un- tl the end would take place, and being in great pain. he adopted the above method to end his earthly career.
 That he contemplated selfdes. truction over ten days ago. is be licved from the tone of letter re. ceiyed by Henry Brinkmeyer of this city. which stated that the tools and chest of the dead man could be sold as well as any other personal property he owned and which was left in storage The de. ceased was skilled artisan amid exemplary citizen. He was native of Ohio and aged about 64 years.

SLOAN FEDERAL
 JUDGE FOR ARIZONA (From Thuys4My's Daily.)

A private telegram received yes terday morning from Judge Sloan announced his recess appointment as federal judge of this district and stated that he had qualified and would arrive in Phoenix next We'd nesday to get ready for the Octo- Der term.
 This was the eventuality of the ease that had been generally ex- pected in spite of the rumors that President Taft was aboue to give up the fight and withdraw the nomina- ton of Judge Sloan.
 Judge Sloan has been watching the course of events in Washington since early last April when the fight against him became increased in bitterness and he went to the capital to answer in person the charges which had been lodged against him with the senate judi. ciary committee.
 A large mass of business accu. mula,ed in the court. More than a hundred criminal cases were Jeff over from the last term in the course of which three United States judges presided. each for [ short time and since then hun dreds of other cases have been en tered for the October term.

HOTELS AT GRAND CAM
 YON TO BE ENLARGED
(From Wednesdays Daily)

It is learned from authoritative sources that an appropriation of $l00,0O0 has been made by the Santa Fe railway company for im- provements and additions at Grand Canyon. to be distributed between its two hotels at that point, Fl To- var and the Bright Angel The im- provcments include an addition of fifty guest rooms at Fl Tovar and the enlargement of the Hobbies and public rooms of the hostelry to about four times their present size. In addition an immense and magni- fcent terrace will be built in front of the hotel. leading directly to the canyon rim. The view from this will be unexcelIed. Arrange mcnts will be made for the exten- sive use of this terrace by the guests, SO that they may attend to their business, read, write or just sit and admire the changing view
 The improvements will be be- gun this winter. All the details of the plan have not yet been work ed out. but they will be ready when construction is begun. The actual appropriation has already been made.

The orc will run as high as $ pcS cent in the red metal. is the conservative estimate of those who have inspected the product.
 Leading up to this remarkable showing. a man familiar with the situation reviews the development by saying the drift started to the south of the bottom of the winzc. that is % feet from the col. lar of the winze. and carried a sprinkiing of native copper in the gouge matter. Now the drift con tains over five feet of this very high grade native copper ore. which is estimated to run to forty-hve per cent in value, if not more.

MINE LIEN LAW DUE s
 FOR GOOD SWATTING
rrom wsAnssaay's DaiiyS

Unless it is decided that no ref crendum vote can be taken in No vember on the ground that the clec- ton then will not be a "generar election. some of the measures enacted by the legislature arc due for terrific "swatting" at the hands of the electorate. And the one law. most unpopular, and which will get trouncing that will put the quietus on any such legislation in the future is the mine lien act. From ono end of the state to the other there is demand for its re- peal, and this sentiment is being given expression to in the press. The Journal-Miner has published column after colnmn against this iniquitious measure and the other papers have followed suit. Now comes the Mohave County Miner and gives the law this jolt in the ribs:
 But the one measure that in- terests the people more than any of the others. looking at 1t from a public welfare standpoint. is that of the mine lien law. This measure was passed through the Senate by the narrow margin of one vote. the vote standing ten to nine. It was fathered by Cochise county man, but had behind it the undivided sup- port of the alfalfa growers of the state. The measure proposes to make every mine operated under lease and bond responsible for all work done thereon and for all sup- plies and materials furnished. lt simply prts out of all possibility the leasing of mine under any terms and would materially curtail work in all the mining counties of the state. Miners working on any mine under the tribute system who fail to pay their store bills would involve the mine owner in the pay ment by fixing lien on the prop serty. Under no condition would a mine owner be safe from the fixing of liens should he bond or lease his property. It is one of the most drastic measures ever passed, and would result in great harm were 1t allowed to remain on the statute books. It is 10 be hoped that every man who has the welfare of the state at heart will vote against the measure. Had the same class of legislation been applied to the farmer what howl would have gone up. Let farmer lease his lands to tenant, who in turn would employ men to SOW and har- vest the lands and then slip ou, without paying them, and then have the men fix lien on the lands for their pay. wouldn't the farmer howl But that is just what these farmer fellows want the mine owner to say is good and that he likes 1t. The people should scrutinizc closely thi: measure and realize fully its i'm port. If they believe that fixing | lien on a mine Is the proper wa, 10 develop the country. let them
