NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
cORONER'S VERDICT IS
 DISPUTED BY FATHER

TUCSON, August That his son. Benjamin w Echols. did not commit suicide but was accidentally shot, is the belief of J. F. Echols, wealthy Iowa farmer, who arrived Sunday to accompany the remains of the young man to Nevada, Iowa, where the fun eral will be held
 Mr Echols states that the young man was very much interested in writing motion picture scenarios and he believes that while acting some part with a six shooter in the bath room the gun was accidentally dis charged, resulting in the young mans death
 MT. Echols also does not believe that his son contemplated travelling to the South Sea Islands as baron" as was stated in the local papers. He believes that the address on the en- yelope from a travelling company to Baron Banes Wadsmaun Eckels" was mistake on the part of the person addressing the letter.
 MT. Echols states that the son was quite eccentric but he does not be- lieve that he ever contemplated sui eide and he wishes to state this view If the matter to the public.
 Officers appeared to have no doubt put what young Echols took his own fife. The fact that he fired two shots ne after another into his heart was .aken by them as conclusive proof hat he had taken his own life.

IMPORTANT NEWS ON
PATENT PAPERS

According to a decision received yesterday from New York yesterday by Attorney Robert E. Morrison. says the Prescott Journal Miner. an instru- ment transferring the possessory title or claim to mining property prior to the issuance of patent is not taxa ble under the act of October 22. 1874.
 Tt is a fact that the deputy col lectors of internal revenue in this state have been insisting that deeds conveying title to unpatented mining claims should be stamped with, war revenue stamps in amounts which have made such transfers prohibit tory" said Attorney Morrison yester- day. --
 The decision. . copy of . letter to a Washington trust company written re- gently by David A. Gates, acting United States commissioner, follows:
 Referring to your personal call this ofice on November 20, and office letter dated November 22, 1915. you are advised that an instrument trans ferring the possessory title or claim to mining property prior to the issu- ance of . patent is not. in the opin- ion of this ofhce. . conveyance of an interest in the realty. and Is not tax able under the act Of October 22. 1914.

SPARKS OUTFIGHTS
MARIcOPA CROWD

VT NNFNS w
 MARIcoPA CROWD
 DOUGLAS, August 2.-After out fighting the representatives of Mari copa county on the floor of the meet ing of county assessors and supervis- ors in Prescott last week, J. Nj. Sparks chairman of the Cochise county board of supervisors has returned to his home here. Largely through the ef- forts of MT. Sparks the attempt of the Maricopa county delegation to secure a blanket reduction of taxes amount ing to about five million dollars was defeated.
 The Maricopa county assessor had assessed farming lands and city prop erty al what he thought was fair amount. The board of supervisors granted a blanket reduction from this of 20 per cent. amounting to between four and five million dollars
 Mir. Sparks took up the cudgel for the remainder of the state which would have to bear the burden of any reduction in Maricopa county's taxes He made a speech in which he replied to those of the Maricopa men present that even though hard times were with them at present, they were cer- tain to come back" some time in the near future. There's no use in giv- ing your own home such a black eye with the world If you people who live there do not boost for your home county. who will?" Mir. Sparks asked them
 . After the fight had ragged for three days with Sparks leading the on- slaught against the proposed reduc- tion and the mining counties follow ing his leadership, the Cochise coun- y man made a motion that all lands and city lots in Maricopa county stand as originally assessed. This carried by vote of A to 4, the Maricopa county men alone voting against it. The meeting made this recommendation to the state tax com mission, which will have the final voice in the matter.
 "Cochise county will pay taxes on $115,o0O.O00 this year and Maricopa county on about sSS.OOO.O0O." said Mir. Sparks q learend while at this meeting that about 70 per cent of taxes collected in each county goes into the state fund and of that amount about 15 per cent into the school fund. This is apportioned ac- cording to school population Al though Maricopa has a smaller tax roll, that county has a larger popula- tion. so Cochise is paying to educate the children in that county.
 This is far enough. but was de- termined that Maricopa county should not evade payment of the proper amount of taxes and therefore took the lead in a three days fight against the proposed reduction"
 Changes in the assessment of mines and cattle were discussed but none were recommended to the commission so the meeting ended by recommend ing that the rolls stand at practically the same figure as the original as- sessment
