LEGISLATIVE EVENTS a5" .'.'
 FOR [ THE PAST WEEK

in the House a bill which is prob
 ably of greater general interest over
 the state than any new enactment so
 far proposed this session. The Gila
 county members idea is to provide
 for the assessment, valuation and
 taxation of mineral, coal, gas, oil, mining and other rights reserved in or to lands against the, owner there of as an interest in land. It is said all of the mining counties of the State contain many tracts of land which have been sold with pro viso in the deed reserving to the seller various underground rights. The situation aimed at by Repre- sentative Lewis will apply especially at Miami, Arizona, where the entire townsite of Miami was sold with all rights other than the surface rights reserved. Lowell and Bisbee and Cochise and Jerome in Yavapai ! county give similar situations.
 Representative Lewis stated that if enacted into law he estimated several hundred thousand dollars would be added to. the assessed valuation of the state. His bill in detail is as follows:
 Section l. That all mineral, coal, gas, oil, mining or other rights in or to any lands within this State. and all rights to land or the ores, oils, gases, gravel, or other mineral deposits contained therein, which have been heretofore or shall here after be rserved in any conveyance of such land, or any conveyance to the surface thereof, or to such land for a specified depth below the sur face, shall be valued and assessed against the owner as an interest in land in precisely the same manner as is provided by law for the valu- .ation and assessment of land or real estate, and the same shall be sub jected to taxation and to special as sessments in precisely the same manner and to the same extent as ii the owner had not conveyed the land or the surface thereof or any ih terest therein; and the taxes and assessments levied against the same shall be a lien thereon in like man ner as such taxes and assessments are lien upon other real estate: and the same shall be collected and the payment thereof enforced as such taxes are collected and pay ment enforced against other real es- tate. HrH-
 Section 2 That such interest SO reserved may be sold and conveyed in the enforcement of the taxes and assessments so levied against it in the same manner that other real es- tate may be sold and conveyed; and in case of any such sale any person owning and holding any other or different interest in such land may become the purchaser; the purpose of this act being to make any such right or interest so reserved taxable and assessable for general, local and special purposes against the owner thereof in the same manner, and to the same extent, and subject to the same provision that the real prop erty is taxable and assessable, and to make such taxes and assessment enforcible in the same manner by sale and conveyance of the property as sessed N.fru.

n.achine on board a racing yacht i
worth many minutes over a thirty
nile course.
Herreshoff has said that he would
prefer to build only one yacht, but
it is said by we'll informed yachts
man that in making that statement he
did not mean to exclude everyone
from taking part in the defense Of
the cup, but having some reputation
as a designer and builder, he did
not care to undertake to build more
than one cup defender, which was
for the New York Yacht Club syn
dicate, unless he was satisfied that
the yacht would be handled well. If
he is satisfied that the yachtsmen
who want him to build second
yacht are able to handle the yacht
properly he is willing to do what he
can to turn out fast defender.
1t takes about four months to build
one of these yachts. After an order
for a vessel has been placed it takes
four to six weeks to assemble the
material If bronze or high grade
steel is used that metal has to be
rolled specially for the purpose and
it takes time to turn out frames,
angles and the thousand and one
things that go to make up well
built hull. If things are allowed to
drag on it will be next year before
orders are placed for new yachts.
Then they will be late in being com
missioned and in tuning up.
At present second syndicate is
in process Of formation. Some of the
best known wachtsmen in the coun-
try are interested in the syndicate,
and as soon as it is completed an
nouncement will be made.
One yachtsman, talking of the
Americas cup and the coming races,
said: I'VE ought to have four or five
defenders built. Four defenders can
be built for next years races for
what one defender cost under the old
rules. These four should be tried out
thoroughly in thirty or thirty-five
races during the season before the
cup races are sailed. There are many
yachtsmen interested in the sport
who can afford to help in such =
thing as the defense Of the America :;
cup. That trophy is an information;
one. 1t would be national calamity
il it were lost. Those yachtsmen
should not wait TO be asked by the
club officers to subscribe for the de-
Tense Of the cup, but should volun-
teer to help and make things easie.'.
1t would not be just right for the
club officers 10 ask that others shou d
build yachts in order that their boat
might defeat the others in the trials.
What is to be done for the defen e
Of the cup must be done quickly or
we shall see the lrishmen walk away
With the trophy. ! don't mean that
the one defender now ordered will
be a failure by any means"
