HUNDRED

Concerning a recently published
newspaper item announcing a spe-
cial examination of a mining camp
in a Western State, which promises
to be a second Cripple Creek, -
the Director of the Geological Sur
vey made the following statement:
The district which is mentioned
in this announcement as promising
to be second Cripple Creek is
simply one of 1900 large and small
mining districts of the West, and
it is the effort of the Federal Survey
to study these rs rapidly as possible.
The particular district to which~ref-
crence has been made is one of 25
snail distr cts to the examination of
which one of the Survey geologists
has just been assigned. Doubtless
the prospectors and claim owners in
each of these believe theip district
to be 2 SECOND Goldfeld or Cripple

EXCEEDSAUTHORITY
Two Boards Of Supervisors
Reduce the Big Corpor-.

Attorney General George Purdy

night, where he went to confer with
the hoard nf supervisors of Yavapai
county, who as . board of equaliza-
tion nade a fifty per cent reduction

supposedly final figures on assessed
valuations to the state tax commits
sion for use in compiling the state
tax levy and rate for the year 1912.
Immediately after arriving at his
Office in the Goodrich block this
morping General Bpllard went into
conference With the state tax com-
mission relative to what action shall
be taken regarding the action of
the Yavapai county board of eaual-

fhe equity hoard of supervisors
ip Yayapai county made ept in the
assessed valuation of the United
Verde Mining company ut Jerome
amounting to 81, ,l64, 800, or twenty
five per cent without notifying the
state board Of their action, and
after the state board had fixed the
rate. This followed a cut that had
been previously made. General
Bullard is of the opinion that the
county board exceeded their juris-
diction in making the second cut
after they hadthemselves fled their
Hhar Hgpres. It is the opinion Of
The attorney generai that the COUNTY
board had no right to revise its
rgures after the state board had
made It's levy. The peculiar feature
of the affair is that the Cochise
county board did the same thing

county officials refuse, a mandamus
would be issued against them. Then
the mining companies would have
to come into court and make their
showing.
II Is understood that the inside
history of the thing is that the
United Verde Mining company ap-
peared before the Yavapai county
board of supervisors with the re-
quest that the assessment be cut
down on the ground that the state
tax commission had fixed it arbitrari-
ly and without due investigation
They then made the tentative threat
that should, the cut not be made
they would pay no taxes ut leave
the county and state to fight them
for it: They backed this up with
an elabpfate statement that actually
the state of Ar:gona has no law for
taxing mining companies, and of
fered the county the cut or nCth-
ing. '-
1t is understood that Yavapai
county is now paying is obligations
in interest bearing warrants. and
with the immense amount of taxes
coming from the United Verde
ieopardized the changes Of ever
putting the county upon a paying
basis looked somewhat slim to the
supervisors. They consequently au-
thorized the reduction in valuation.
Now comes the Niger in the
woodpi!e. Immediately following
the cut made In Yavapai county the
pressure is brought to bear upon
'Coehise county through the mining
interests which are large there, on
the ground that wholesale cuts had
been made in other counties, citing
Yavapai as an example, and request
ing cut in the valuation. Cochise
county appealed to the tax com
mission. but before that body could
send assistance the county had it
self decided upon . Wholessale cut
greater than that of Yavapai county
hearly three times, and the board of
equalization in Coehise adjourned.
Whether or not the boards of
these two counties took the action
complained of knowing it to be un-
lawful, is not generally believed,
but that they were influenced in
their action by the tentative threat
that if the cut were not made sew
eral years of litigation would result
with the possible tHah:e e ths

Complaints of Activity of Office
Holders Filed With Commission by

Chicago. Feb. 2l.-Alexander II.
Revell. chairman of the National
Roosevelt Committee, Tuesday night
said that ne had received a letter
from General John c. Black, presi-
dent of the Federal Civil Commission
stating that the alleged political ac-
tivity of government employees in
Kentucky and other Southern States,
was being investigated by the com
mission. Mr.. Revell said the COM
plants were filed by him.
The complaints filed by Revell
were directed at numerous federal
officials. postmasters and minor en-
ployes in number of Southern
States, who we're reported as active
in the campaign for the nomination
of President Taft. Complaints also
were filed by Leslie Combs. OF Lex
ingfon, KY. and W. j. Perry, Of

In Blacks letter to Revell ii was
stated that the Civil Service Com
mission will be unable to reach many
federal officials, who are said to be
politically active. because they are
outside its jurisdiction. This applies
TO revenue collectors and such post
masters and other officials as are
appointed by the President. Hun
dred of minor employees, however.
are under the jurisdiction OF the

RAILROAD MUST PAY
hurley Loss BY FIRE
Court of Appeals Decides That L. &
N. Must ANTE" For $4,000 Dam
age at MiIIersburg. :.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 2l.-The
.Burley Tobacco Society won a VIC
tory in the Court of Appeals Tues
day when the court upheld the BOur-
bon Circuit Court in awarding the
society $4,000 damages against the
l.. & n. Railroad for the destruc-
ton by fire of two warehouses To-
Gated at Millersburg, Ky. The fire
was the result of sparks thrown from
Il passing engine and $50 hogsheads
Of tobacco were destroyed.
The warehouses were under the
control of the Burley Tobacco Socie-
ty and the Bourbon County Board of
Control. The railroad company con-
tended the suit on the grounds that
the society was an illegal trust or
combine and without authority of
law to prosecute the suit. The
court here holds that the action was
perfect in, the Burnley Society and
the Bourbon Board Of Control and it
was imWaterial whose particular
crops went to make up the tobacco
burned.
The court further says that it has
repeatedly held that the Burnley So
ciety is not operated in violation of
law so long as it does not attempt
to raise the price of leaf tobacco
above the real value. The court says
that it has been unable to find any
authority which provides that the
property of a trust could be negli-
gently destroyed without redress.
