ASSESSMENT COMPLAINTS
BEFORE BOARD OF REVIEW

The assessment review board OF
the city, j. B. Case, D. e. Snider
and c. Johntz, is in session at the
city hall and many complaints are
being heard. The board will be In
session several days.
The assessments of town property
is generally raised this year and
many feel that it is higher than
farm property in proportion to its
value. Stores on Cedar are assessed
at $4,000 which is all they would
sell for while a farm recently sold
for $3.50 an acre and for which
more has been offered Is assessed
at $65 an acre. The bottomland
southwest of town worth on the
market 800 to $3.50 an acre is as
sessed at $50. The town people feel
that this does them an injustice in
paying county and state taxes.

"Inscription" Rock.

The most interesting and perhaps the most ancient evidence of Euro peans in United States territory, is the historical landmark known as the Inscription Rock" and to the Spanish people as "El Moro" This sandstone rock is within about thirty miles to the eastward from Zuni village, on the old immigration route between Albu. querque, on the Rio Grande Del Norte, and Los Angeles, California. Prior to the breaking out of the Civil war all U. $. mail was carried over this trail Lieutenant Whipple in '53. and Lieu, tenant Beale in '54 both left their names upon inscription Rock" And in lS4S another U. $. expedition re- corded it's passage on the rock, but the writer has forgotten the names. But the most interesting record on the rock. on account of it's great antiquity is that of "Don Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, l74O." Coronado was gov. ernor of Cuiacan. Neuva Galicia, by appointment of Viceroy Mendoza, and was selected by the viceroy to lead what is known as the Coronado expe- dition, to search for the "Seven Cities of Cibolo." Marquis, Hernandez Cor tez, asked to be given command of the expedition, on the grounds that he, (Cortez), was "El Gran Conquistador, " but the viceroy refused to place that avaricious -booter in command The second oldest inscription on the rock is that of the Bishop of Durango. Here is his reward in Spanish, viz:
 'Dia 2S de Sep. de 1737, asr Hego acqui, Fl Ilustrlsimo Senor Doctor Don Martin de Elizacoechea, Obispo de Du- rango. Tel dia 29 paso para Zuni."
 Here is our translation. which in it's way is nearly correct, viz:
 "The 18th day of September, 1737, arrived here the most Illustrious Mis-. ter Doctor Don Martin of Elizacotchea, DlSnOp or DurauSo. Auu on Jne I5Gn day of September, l727, passed on for Zuni."
 Members of the military expedition that took first possession of Arizona north of the Gila river in 1S63-the writer being one of that expedition left their names inscribed upon that historic rock. F. BANTA, in St. Johns Observer.

six minerallzed zones, all of which shows values in gold and silver from fifty cents to one hundred dollars ip samples taken ten feet wide, every alternate ten feet across the ends or widths of these mineralized zones. These zones average 100 feet wide, 400 feet high, and from POO to 300 feet long. estimating from the croppings and exposures by erosion. Some ex- ceptionally rich streaks were encount- cred and every sample showed gold. Out of 100 pannlngs that were made, all except five showed colors of gold, in varying quantities.
 Mr. John A. Rice, mining engineer of Fl Paso, who recently spent d day in Apache Box canyon says, "While l merely gave it cursory examina- ton, yet my impressions from all 1 saw are that it is one of the most interesting gold mining properties ever saw. Its vastness and magnitude seem almost incredible. One is led to believe it will prove to be another gold mine to be chased with the fla nous Treadwell mine on Douglas Island or with the great Homestake mine in South Dakota.
 The owners have recently run an open cut about nine or ten feet wide into the side of the canyon from which they made shipments of two carloads to shelter. The first load they claim ran little over 9$ in gold per ton, and the second ran over l0$ per ton. asked them if they assorted the ore. They replied that it was impossible to do so. This to my mind was the most convincing evidence of this vast ore deposit.
 The property is now controlled by w. Franklin Burnham of Roston, Mass, president of the American Ex ploration aud Mining company and John Chiffen, a metallurgical engin. eer.-El Paso Times.

Inspiration Copper Company.

Officials connected with the Inspira. tion Copper Co. of New York assert that the exact site for the new con- centrator which is to be erected for the treating of the ores of the Inspira- tion Copper and Live Oak Companies, which properties are now controlled by the Inspiration Consolidated Cop per Co.,, will be finally decided before March l5. As soon as the exact To, cation is determined upon. the con- struction of the mill will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. As all ready announced, the Inspiration pro- poses building concentrator with a capacity of 5000 tons of ore per day which will enable it to produce 50, r00,- 900 pounds of copper year. At a cost of l-2 cents, and II l-2 cent cop- per, there would then be margin of profit of six cents pound, or 3,600.- O00S year or an amount equal to 5 sos per share.
 Good results are being obtained from the experimental mill, a recovery con- siderably in excess of 80 per cent hav- ing been obtained. While the percen- tage of extraction is not likely to run as high as this in the course of actual operation it is believed it will be high. CT than that of any concentrator now in operation.
 Engineers of the Inspiration Copper Co. are confident that the cost of pro- duction of the company will be consid- erably less than figured at time of the merger of the company with Live Oak. It is believed that after six months operations cost of production will not exceed eight and one-half cents a pound. A close study is being made into the workings of the various DOT phyry concentratOrs, including that of the Utah Copper Co.,, with the result that Inspiration will be in position to avoid costly mistakes of the past. There has been completed about six miles of shafts and tunnels in the h. spiration alone, or about 30,00O feet of underground development work. Churn drilling was suspended several months ago, but it is the general be- lief that when work is resumed many million additional tons of ore will be proven up on the Inspiration and Live Oak properties.-New York Minin g Age.

Shattuck Rich Strike.

The past week the work of determin- ing the strike on the 400 level of the Shattuck which was reported in The Review last Sunday has continued and on Thursday, the width of the vein was determined to be seventeen feet. No exploration to determine it's depth, height or length in either direction
 from this cross cut has as yet been begun, the exploration looking to width entirely. In putting in this drift sill sets have been used, making the drift nine feet in height by seven.

teen in length and the ore taken out in making the short cross cut drift Is estimated to have exceeded in value 2O,OOO$ In character it is of copper glance streaked with green carbon ates and the assays taken from catch samples average in all contents 157S a ton. It is here that further explora- tion and development work will be continued and rich shipments to the shelter at Douglas will result from all exploration work at this point. The character of the ore encountered in is such that it indicates other ore bodies in close proximity either above or near by.
 While the richness of the Shattuck strike is pleasing feature there is attached to this particular strike more than ordinary interest since it occur red upon a dtferent fault from the en- counters of ore that have been made on 5, 6, ', 8 and levels of this prop erty. Further development will be watched with keen interest by others than the stock holders, for upon it's ex- tent will probably depend resumption of production on large scale and the more mediate start on construction work of a shelter at Douglas. -Bisbee Review.
