is inadmissible under the objection made. for the complaint differs from the list in the back tax book in this It names the Dividend Wedge the Howell the Silver Bear, the Belle and the Isle all of which are omitted from the back tax book, and it omits the Dividend the Wedge the Powell and the Belle Isle,' all of which are included in the back tax book.
 "The importance of the objections here considered is rendered more ap- parent by a consideration of the ma. ture of the action. It is an action quasi in rem to fix a lien upon spe. cific property No personal judg- ment can be had.
 "The statutes. Section SS, Act 92. Laws of 1903. provides:
 l "'The judgment. if against the de- fendant, shall describe the land up- Il due. shall state the amount of taxes and interest found to be due upon each tract or lot, and the year or years for which the same are due, up to the rendition thereof. and shall decree that the lien of the territory be enforced and that the real estate or so much thereof as may be neces- sary to satisfy such judgment, inter- est and costs, be sold, and execution shall be issued thereon, which shall be executed as in other cases of judg. ment and execution, and said judg- ment shall be first lien upon said land
 This statute was adopted from Missouri, and the prior construction thereof by the courts of last resort of the State of Missouri Is, under well. established principles, controlling up- on us. A judgment in an action to collect back taxes, differing from the complaint in the description of the property sought to be subjected to the lien of such tax is void.
 Nor is the admission of this evi- dence rendered harmless by the proof that an amount equivalent to the tax upon the property as original | ly assessed was rendered by the ap- police in full payment of it's tax for the purpose of bringing a suit in equity to reioin the collection of the tay upon the various raises and sub sequently paid to the county in the course of suit. and credited by 1t up on the entire tax claimed to be due. Assuming that it was paid and ac- cepted as a discharge of the original tax, as appellant now contends was the fact, the amount now in suit is the tax upon the raise. Without a valid original assessment there cou' be no raise. The fact of payment of the original tax does not dispense with the necessity of proof of an as sessment admissible under the facts alleged In the complaint.
 "The defendant also objected upon

division appearing on the assessment roll. If 1t determined to pay upon one or more of the eight so raised and to abandon the remainder, 1t would have to pay the tax upon the raise, to- gether with the tax upon the entire sixty-five claims as originally as- sessed.
 "Tho undisputed testimony dis. closes that these claims were non-con- tiguous in instances which would have invalidated an original assessment, except for the return. The board ii. raising this assessment disregarded the original classification, which has been held good as against the appel lee solely by reason of its return.
 The board of supervisors, sitting as Board of Equalization. had no power to segregate from a tract of land returned and assessed as one parcel, a portion thereof and impose thereon an additional assessment, W wlthout first determining that such tract was improperly assessed as a whole and causing such tract to be re-asscssed and raised fin subdivisions in such manner as to preserve the right of the taxpayer to discharge the lien of taxes upon such of the several separate tracts as he might elect.

the ground of variance to proof of the action of the board of equaliza ton as disclosed by the minutes of its meetings. Upon the introduction of the various exhibits showing the sep arate raises of each of the eight claims therein mentioned, the de. fendant renewed this objection.
 ITO determine whether or not the variance is material, the allegations of the complaint must be examined Paragraph four of the complaint con. tains the only description of the property sought to be subjected to the tax lien. So far as essential tho allegation is slxty-five (65) patent. ed mining claims near Bisbee, Ari. 7Ona (then follows the list by name as hereinabove set forth), said min, Ing claims consisting of 636 acres as. sessed at S3,1S000. In paragraph six appears the allegation as to the raise namely, To the valuation Of the pat ented mines and improvements $3,. 26O,OOO.O0.' In paragraph fourteen the pleader alleges the amount due all of which is lien upon the lands and real estate owned by and assess. ed against said Copper Queen Con. solidated Mining Company for the year 1901, as hereinabove set forth
 Nowhere Is there a reference to the specific raise upon the eight claims against which the lien is now asserted. nor is there a further de- scription thereof. The prayer of the complaint was originally for fore closure of the alleged lien against the tract of sixty-fve (65) claims as an entirety. By leave of the court, sub sequent to the admission of the evi. dence under consideration, the pray CT was amended to read: That the said judgment and whole thereof be adJudged and decreed to be the first and paramount lien upon such of the aforesaid described lots, tracts and parcels of land and real estate as the court may. from the proof. adjudge iO bt buDJtCl lO II lltI lOI Sdlu ldAtS in favor of the territory of Arizona There was, however, no amendment of the allegations of fact upon which re- lief was sought, The complaint, therefore. alleges raise of the sixty flve claims en bloc The proof of raise upon eight of the sixty-five claims, upon which alone 1t is now sought to foreclose the lien, Is sub. stantial variance.
 "The trial court did not err in rend- ering and entering judgment for the defendant. The judgment, therefore, Is 9ilirmed.
