DOUGLAS Some Tax" Explanationing

An article published in the Ari- zona Gazette last Friday and pur ported interview with Chas Cove of the state tax commission. makes it very proper that the members of the board of supervisors of this county should explain their action in the matter of fixing the assessed value of the producing mines in this county at their session last week.
 William Riggs. a member of the board. is in Douglas today attend ing the session of the stock grow CTS convention. Mir. Riggs. when approached by the International, was glad of the opportunity to explain the action of the local board.
 When the county board of ca ualization met in July the members asked the tax commission 10 come or send representative to meet with them. Chas. Howe and Mir. Zandcr came to Tombstone in res ponsc to this request. At this time | it was represented to the Cochise county board that all the hrst-class producing mines in the state were to be assessed on 100 per cent oi their gross output said Mir. Riggs. Continuing he said:
 When the county board met in August it had the same power as it did in July. SO far as reducing values were concerned. Then we learned for the first time that the board of equilzation of Yavapai county had at its July meeting, re- duccd the assessment on the produ- cling mines in that county. includ. ing the United Verde. from IOC per cent of their product to 7s per cent. We also learned tha, this action in Yavapai county had met with the approval of the state tax commission after having assur ed the Coehise county board thai all the big producing mines were tc be held for tax of 100 per cent oi their product,
 "On this information was based the action of the local board in re ducing ihe assessed value of th, mines in this county to go per cen of the output, and the action wal taken to prevent our home mine, from bearing an unequal burden ir the matter of taxation as compared with such rich properties as th, United Verde in Yavapai county.

DOUGLAS Wife Imposes Sentence

\ new innovation was introduced in police court when Judge Rice asked the wife of William Self, a dry farmer, of the Sulphur Springs valley, to impose sentence on her husband for being drunk and disor- dcrly. IL appears that Self goes on jags very frequently and always gives the police considerable trou- ble, and on former occasions has escaped with good lectures and no fine. The last time he was warned not to appear again in court, and yesterday while suffering from a severe toothache" he took toe much drink to quiet the pain and started rough house on the streets.
 Ills wife called at the court thi. morning and the judge gave he' the privilege of imposing the sen ,cncc, and Self received ten days or the city streets with hard labor. Want Fence Preserved

old courthouse last Saturday night
with dancing, refreshments and games.
Among the latter was game of ami
mails" which was new to some of the
merry makers. The scheme was to
form the party in a circle, give each, in
d whisper the name of the animal he
or she was to represent, and it was the
duty of the participants in the game at
the proper signal to make noise and
perform antics in keeping with the
parts assigned them. Johnny Scott
was given the part of Chanticle".
When the signal was given he assumed
his proudest mien, tapped his wings,
crowed - and then looked very as
tonished. Everybody else had remained
immovable and silent. They had put
up job on Mr.. Scott and they all
agree it was awfully funny.

IN SCHEME
TO GET GOLD

Promises of from 25O to $50 per cent.
profits, statements that the sand vast s
of the Adirondacks contain millions
upon millions of dollars worth of gold
obtainable through secret recovery
processes and encouraging and OPP
iimistic 'reports," together with the
linking of the name of Charles +.
Locke Of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology with the scheme, have
resulted in investment by many west
ern New England people in companies
designed for the exploitation OF the
New York Ophir says a Springfield
Mass dispatch to the New York Sun.
Most of the money has been invested
in stock of the Waverly Reduction
Company, promoted by Alfred E. Copp
of 4 Postotfice Square, Boston. Be-
sides Col. w. F. Mason McCarty of
New York, Copp has employed Edwin
c, Jordan and others, on the strength
of whose reports the local people have
invested their money.
Many of the Springfield and western
MasSac,9sett, investors have bought
Ock through Oscar S. Greenleaf, a
prominent resident of Springfield. Mr.
Greenleaf is an enthusiast on the sub
ject of Adirondack gold mining and
believes there is ''millions in it," So
firm is his belief in the success of Jor-
dams scheme for the recovery of gold
frorR sand that be shipped Il quantity OF
Connecticut Valley sand to Jordan's
laboratory in Santa Clara, Franklin
county. n, y, for experim the
theory being that the Adirondack sand
is the result of glacial deposit and
identical with the Connecticut Valley
sand.
\ year ago there was considerable
interest among well-known Springfield
people in the Adirondack sand PROPOSE
ton, and a Springfield newspaper man
was sent to Santa Clara to investigate
the secret process for recovering
gold from sand. The investigation was
private and on the strength of it there
was no public boom of the scheme.
Since then prominent members of the
board of trade have been mportuned
to invest and one of their number was
commissioned to 60 to the Adirondacks
and look into it. His report dis
cOurages associates from investing.
Jordan is an Englishman. His 'secret
process of recovering gold from sand
had as its basis the radio magnetic
quality" of a secret composition he
claimed to have accidentally discovered.
This composition in the form of d plate
attracts to it al metals. The metals
are then scraped off and refined. A
year ago Jordan had with him as a
practical mining assistant" one Joseph
II. Diehl of Buffalo. Jordan also
claims Buffalo as his home.
Copp sends out optimistic letters
about every two weeks containing re-
ports from Jordan and commenting on
results obtained by DR.. N. S. Keith Of
Philadelphia, whose process Copp fire.
quently speaks OF using. In his latest
