included, 1t would have to be admit
ted that under such general lam
guage the commission would be en-
powered to fix, raise or lower the
state rate, as held in numerous cas-
es. 1t is apparent that the legisla-
ture, If it intended to confer so i'm
portant a function on the commits
sion as increasing or decreasing of
the county tax rate after 1t had been
fixed by the county commissioners,
would have specified such power, as
it did in relation to others of less
Importance.
The court further holds: "In the
absence of a clear showing, the re-
peal or modification Of statutes is
not presumed, and where there Is a
general or special statutory provis-
ion relating to the same subject, the
special provision will control" "It
has been urged that under the con-
stitution the legislature could not
confer upon the commission power
to fix the tax rate, the members be-
ing appointed and not elected by
the people. Following precedent,
the court does not determine consti-
tutional questions when unnecessary
for a decision of the case."-Appeal.

SAN FRANCISCO MEN
IN TONOG0LD LEASE

The Arizona Leasing company has
been organized for the purpose of
taking over an extended lease on
the Sanders-Sorenson claims at To-
nogold and work will begin in miner
like fashion about the first of the
year. The company is sinking on
the old Epstine shaft, where a ledge
has been found looking better than
where the original leasers left off.
The ledge is more oxidized and gives
promise of making good with depth.
The Arizona Leasing company has
also taken over the former McQuil-
Ian lease, making a total length of
500 feet. Work will be prosecuted
in the Epstine shaft, with a down
to $50 feet when abandoned.
w. j. Bathurst, who promoted the
Arizona company, has enlisted the
capital of a number of the leading
business men of San Francisco, who
will provide funds to give the camp
a complete tryout. Bathurst for
merly held a lease from Tally and
has been with Tonogold since the
inception of the camp, and is firmly
convinced that the camp will make
good. In the ground held under
lease he believes there are three
lodges converging in an ore body
which will prove profitable to the in
vestors. These include the Murphy
lead and the Campbell & Kelly lead.
which has been opened on the ad-
joining property by the foundrymen.
Arrangements have been made to
install a IA h. p. gas engine, to be
in place by Jan. 1, with the object
of sinking to a depth of $50 feet,
where a c%roescut will be run west
from the shaft to two lodges opened
in shallow holes.-Bonanza.
