DELINQUENT TAX |s
 SMALL ITEM
| Aa Than One Per Cent Of Total Tax es Due Go Delinquent in Greenlee
 County.

The TreaSurer'S office of GreeElee county made an enViable record for the collection of taxes for the year 1912. The last day for the payment of taxes was December 9th.
 Treasurer Webster reports total of S334, ,053.30 collected up to date. The total amount of taxes collectible, in- cluding taxes assessed against widows and others who are exempt, amount ed to $33S, ,S7S. 3S. From these fig ires it will be seen that only$4, ,S245.0S less than one per cent of the total tax es due went delinquent.
 County Treasurer Webster is of the opinion that this record will not be equalled by any other county in the State. Of the taxes which have been marked delinquent most of the amount are small and in the great majority of cases are Mexicans who own small realty holdings.
 The largest tax payer in the county is the Arizona Copper Company, Ltd This company paid into the County Treasurer $15S,000. The second lar gest taxpayer on the list is the De troit Copper Co.
 Of the total amount of taxes collect ed in Greenlee County approximately S12O,32 3.22 is remitted to the State Treasurer at Phoenix, being the pro rata for this county for the mainten- ance of state institutions and they pay ing of state expenses.

MAY B E THE NEXT
 SPEAKER OF \ HOUSE
Linney of Yavapai, Visitor in Tucson;
 Refused to Discuss Issue.

TUCSON-H. H. Linney, of Pres colt, was a visitor in Tucson for a few hours Sunday. When interviewed by a Star representative he refused to talk politics, particularly that part which is consistently connecting his name with the next speakership.
 When asked his reason for being in the city he remarked that he in- tended leaving early Monday morn ing for Nogales on legal business and would probably return to Pres colt by Friday.
 When asked if he thought he might receive the speakership, Linney be- came non-committal and commenced an attack of questions regarding the reported Improvements in the vicin- ity of Tucson.
 It is known that solid Democratic delegations from many counties, as we'll as many Republicans, are in favor of showing their appreciation of the work done by Yavapai's clean young champion during the last ses- sion by bestowing the speakers gavel upon him.
 Regarding the supposed extra ses. sion to be called January 20, Linney remarked that he had heard the rumors but that he had no official an- nouncement of any action.

RUMOR SPREGKLES RAIL ROAD IS
 SOLD
Purchased by Phelps, Dodge Company is Rumor from San Francisco This Means Another Trans continental Line Through
 Arizona to Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1S.-Among local railroad and banking circles it is stated on the best of authority that the deal of the Phelps-Dode corpora ion for the Spreckles road, already partially completed from San Diego eastward toward Yuma, has been con- Summated.
 It is known that about two months ago several officials high in Phelps Dodge circles visited San Diego. They made a trip over that portion of the San Diego & California line which has been completed and spent days in con- ference with representatives of the Spreckles interests.
 Among the Phelps, Dodge people were some officials of the Fl Paso 6 Southwestern railroad. They secured all conceivable data upon the cost of completing the s. D. & A. and of the business that it might do.
 Since then negotiations have been progressing steadily, and it is under stood that they have reached a sue cessful termination.
 If the deal really has gone through it means that the Spreckles road will at once be completed to Yuma and that the Fl Paso & Southwestern will be extended to the city by the Colo rado. This will practically give the country another transcontinental road, for the Phelps, Dodge corporation al erady controls the Rock Island syS- tenn.

RAY CONSOLIDATED.

The Ray Consolidated has issued it's fifth quarterly report, which covers it's operations for the months of July, August and September, inclusive. The average production per month was 3,09S,606 pounds, a distinct gain over the two preceding quarters. During the first nine months of the year it's production amounted to 5,370,S35 pounds.
 Net earnings for the quarter under review amounted to $65O,713. Profits were computed on the basis of IT 1-3 cents per pound for copper, which was approximately half a cent per pound less than was actually received for cop per sold during the period. Net earn ings for the first three quarters were $1,497,704. The prospect therefore is that before the end of this year the company's earnings will be at the rate of more than S2 a share annually on it's stock.

TEST IF LAW ID BE MADE IN STATE
 COURTS
Was the Election General or Special in Arizona? Game Law is the One Selected as Basis of the
 Battle.

For the purpose of determining g whether the woman's suffrage amend
 ment and the referred bills were ] legally submitted to the people at the
 election of November 5th, State Sen
 ator H. A. Davis had Wood Allen, one
 of his employees, shoot a quail across the river south of Phoenix. Then he
 had information filed against Allen in the Superior court. No matter what the decision of the superior court is, 1 the case will be carried to the su-
 preme court for final settlement.
 In the federal court the railroads of the state have attacked the railroad
 bills on the ground hat the elecion
 of November , was not general, but special; also that insufficient notice
 had been given by the secretary of
 state. Senator Davis wants to know if the contention of the roads is well founded. Today he made the follow ing statement:
 AS a member of the legislature, 1 am very desirous of ascertaining the exact status of the equal suffrage amendment and the referendum laws which, after having been overwhelm- ingly approved by the people, have been attacked in the federal courts upon the ground that their submission to the voters in 1912 was in violation 
 cient notice had been given by the secretary of state is also a ground or attack on the referendum measures. The legislature provided for the sub mission of four constitutional amend mentS, at either a general or special election in November, 1912, and no attack has been made upon them. With4 the suffrage amendment, how ever, it is different, as it was submit ted through the initiative. If it be held that the referendum measures were unlawfully submitted in Novem- Der, 1912, then it follows that the suffrage amendment was also unlaw- fully submitted at the same time.
 'I desire to have the constitution ality of these questions passed upon by the supreme court of Arizona be- fore the legislature is again called into session. Shoul dthe laws and the suffrage amendment be upheld, well and good. If not, I will favor pass ing the laws under the emergency pro vision and submitting the suffrage amendment at the earliest possible date. These are the reasons why | have lent my aid in getting the pres ent case into court.
 It was decided to attack the game law because it was easier to test than any of the others. Accordingly, Allen, who had not secured a hunters li- cense, shot a quail, and information was formally filed against him. He was arraigned yesterday afternoon. This morning a demurrer was sub mitted by Attorney w. L. Phillips. To morrow the process of selecting jury for the trial of Allen will begin.-- Gazette.

IS GREATEST OF 9TH PLAYS.

The late Clyde Fitch was the au- thor of more than fifty plays, at least two-thirds of which have enjoyed wide popularity among American theatre patrons. Many of them, notably ''The Climbers" and 'The Girl with the Green Eyes were distinctly so- ciety dramas. It was once said that he could not write mans play. "The City, was his answer. It seemed q bit of irony that the biggest thing he ever wrote should have been the one he was never to see acted for Fitch's s death occurred before the night of pro- duction. "The City, proved a thund- erous success. It ran for an entire season at the Lyric Theatre in New York and later duplicated it's trium- phs at the Grand Opera House in Chi cago.
 The play has never been presented in this city and it is a matter for satis- faction that the United Play Company has elected to send it here. Hugo B. Koch, an actor who has achieved a fine following through his artistic work in ''The Servan> in the House. D ''The Port of Missing Men," ''The House of a Thousand Candles" and other recent successes, will be seen in the leading role. MT. Koch person ally selected his company and has all organization of the highest merit. The production is complete and the most beautiful, it is promised, ever sent out with a United Play Company at traction.
 The date of the local engagement is Thursday, January 9th, at Prettyman's Opera House.

BOND ISSUE AT PEARcE.
Mortgage in Trust For $25o,ooo Is Filed on Famous Cochise County

The Commonwealth is one of the famed mines of Arizona with a record of millions in production and will be continued in Arizonas list of pro- ducers.

POWER FOR MINES FROM ROOSEVELT
 PRCtECT
Contracts to Supply the Mining Com paaes Near Miami With Electric Power Has Been Made By
 Government.

Phoenix, AriZ Dec. .11.-Contract to supply the mining companies near Mi ami and Magma with electric power on terms that will return to the project hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually, has been made by the United States reclamation service for the Salt river project.
 During the month announcements have been made of great economic importance to the entire project in con nection with these power lines,f for the building of which surveys are now un- der way, and the remodeling of the RooSeVelt-PhoeniX line that has been in commission some time.
 Experience has demonstrated that the interference with the service on the Roosevelt-PhoeniX line has resul- ed mainly from the perching of large birds on the poles, which, by extend ing their wings until they touched two wires, have short circuited and burn ed out the line. It has been decided to remodel the line by elevating the present poles, or towers, somewhat, and attaching the wires by "suspen- sion" insulation. The towers and crossarms will then be above the wires so birds perched thereon can not reach them, nor canthey, sitting on one wire, reach another.
 1HIS reuuOuellHS VIII cost cOnSlUerd- ble money, but it will also make neceS- sary about one-third of the towers now in use- The Miami and Magma lines are to be built by the purchasers of the power and not at the expense of the project. The towers to be dis carded by the Roosevelt-PhoeniX line will be utilized in the construction of the new lines and the project reim- bursed to the extent of their value
 It is estimated that the salvage thus secured will just about offset the ex- pense of remodeling the Roosevelt Phoenix line which will then be equipped in the most up to date man. her and better service assured

LPOTTERFAVORS SOUTHERN ROUTE
 FOR HIGHWAY
GreenIee County Good Roads Booster Makes Trip Through Arizona and California on His FaVorite
 Mission.

Dell M. Potter, the recognized lead CT of the movement in Arizona for an Ocean to Ocean Highway, made a visit last week to the Gila Valley, Globe, Phoenix, Los Anegels and San Diego.
 The vice-President of the Oceanic Ocean Highway Association is not pleased with the inactivity of the California contingent of the Associa tion.
 When seen in Phoenix by report CT for the Arizona Democrat,the good roads booster told of the situation of the highway association at the present time. He first remarked, however that neither he nor the Ocean to Ocean Highway Association had en- dorsed the Warburton bill for a Ma tional Military Highway. This bill, if passed, would place the burden of the highway upon the tobacco indus try and the tobacco users of the country and I don't think that any as sociation such as ours can afford to endorse it. We cant afford to an tagonize any industry of the magni- tude of the tobacco business. The assertion that we had endorsed the proposed law is mistake.
 Speaking of the recent meeting in Santa Fe at which Col Potter toook a very active part, the gentleman said that unfortunately the Ocean-to-Ocean association was no further along It the present than it was when it was organized. When started and at the present time, the Los Angeles people had an have control of it.. They proposed at first to organize the states through which the high way passed and to make them work ing parts of the association. So far, hp Ocean-to-Ocean association wishes to accomplish anything it must get busy and get busy at once.
 If the Los Angeles people will not take the initiative we know that San Diego will and if this plan is adopt ed we will have to change the route to a southern transcontinental route and make it go through the southern state and up the Atlantic Seaboard.
 There are three routes proposed aabs the United States. The resi- ts of each section are fighting for their particular route. Recently the automobile manufacturers of the country agreed to give for the con- Struction of a transcontinental high way one-third of one per cent of their gross earnings. This amount is to be given for three years and would amount to between twelve and fifteen LudI sIlll1C. 4NOW Oi " c1S designated as the eastern terminus but the western terminus was not designated. This leaves the road in the west open to placement. It iA more than likely however, that it will go through the central part of the country.
 Los Angeles is taking the middle position and refuses to move in the matter, thinking that they will bene- E% hn The object of the Colonel's visit to Los Angeles will be to urge the Los Angeles people to back the Ocean-to- Ocean route, and if they will not do so, the organization will take the matter up with San Diego and it is we'll known that the Bay City will take the proposition up and back it.
