STAKES ARE SET ID
 START EXCAVATION
 FUR CAPITOL WING

Engineers connected with the en- gineering department of the commits sion of state institutions yesterday set the stakes for the excavation for the foundation of the connecting wing of the new addition to the state capitol. This connecting wing will extend di- rectly west from the middle of the west side of the present capitol building.
 The first earth to be excavated in the building of the new capitol addi- tion will be turned this morning, and it will be more or less of a ceremony. Governor Hunt will dig the first shov- elful, according to an announcement at the office of the commission of state institutions. Other state officials and attaches will witness this ceremony but there will be no speechmaking, il is stated.
 This connecting wing will be entirely completed before the parallel addition is started. Leroy A. Ladd, chairman ot the commission of state institutions says. In fact, it is expected that in the building of this connecting wing the appropriation of S125,0O0, already made by the state legislature, will be entirely exhausted and it will be necessary fol the legislature to make a further ap- propriation before work on the paralle addition can be started.

MINE CONTROVERSY |. |S NOW IN HANDS STATE TOP COURT

The legal controversy between the state and the International Smelling company and the Inspiration Consoli- dated Copper company of Gila county concerning the assessed valuation and the taxation of those two large con- cerns has reached the supreme court, having been filed there yesterday on appeal from the superior court of Gila county.
 The Inspiration and the Interna- tional companies, objecting to the as sessed valuation of those companies as returned by the state tax commission started suit in the superior court and won, the state and county appealing from those verdicts.
 As returned by the state tax commits sion, the assessed valuation of the In spiration Consolidated Copper com pany for 1917 was S79,SSS.199.10 the state and county taxes being placed at s694, ,22444. The superior court of Gila county lowered this assessed valu- ation to s61, ,456.144 a decrease of s1S.43 ,054G7, and lowered the state and county taxes to s534. 192.57. a de- crease of s160,031.S7.
 The assessed valuation of the Inter national Smelling company was placed at S4,4so,-oO dlu tHe stdle anu couHlS taxes at $41,S24.25. International was placed at an even s20O0,0OO. a reduc ton of more than half, or s2,496,265 The state and county taxes were great ly reduced, being placed at only $18.604 reduction of s23.220.25. It is expected that the question of intangible value" will play a large part in the cases of these two large concerns when they are pleaded on ap- neal in the supreme court.

RAINIEST PLACE IN WORLD
Scientific American)

Scientific AmericaD
 The reputation of being the rainiest place in the world has long been en- loved by the hill station Cherrapunjf, on the slope of the Himalaya. in As sam, with a mean rainfall that has been variously stated. according to the length of the record and the particular rain gauge in question. The latest official value, based on a 40-year rec ord at the Cherrapunji police station, is 426 inches a year. Blanford, the widely known authority on Indian me teorology, thought that the mean in some places at Cherrapunji exceeded 800 inches, but nowhere amounted to 600 inches So far as actual records go. the rainfall at the Indian station Is surpassed by that recently reported by D. H. Campbell of Stanford Uni versity as having been measured a, Waialeale, in the island of Kauai, Ha- waii, though the record covers only five years and the mean might be re- duced by a longer period of observa- tion.
 In 1912-1916 inclusive, the Hawaiian station, which is 5,075 feet above sea level, recorded a mean rainfall of 51s inches, or more than 43 feet. MT Campbell says that Waialeale is sell dom free from rainclouds and the pre- cipitation is almost incessant; hence the whole surrounding region is bog bearing low trees thickly draped witf dripping masses of moss and liver worts.

TUCSON MARKSMEN
 COMING JULY4FOR
 |NTER-C|TY SHOOT

Following out plans made some time ago, the Tucson Rifle club will send a team to this city, July 4, in competition with the experts of the Phoenix Rifle club. This will be the first interclub match within the state for many months
 Just who will represent Tucson on the five-man team is not known In- deed, the representation of the local club is in doubt until after the close of an elimination contest that will be held on the range next Sunday morning, ac- cording to the rules of the National Rifle association. There is suspicion. however, that Gulley, La Tourette, the competition list, though some of the newer men may push them hard for honors. It is probable there will be more "blood".at the tryout than there is in the main watch
 Details of the match were arranged at a special meeting of the Rifle club last night. The visitors will be given all the entertainment the city affords from the time If their arrival the night before until they leave for home on the evening of the match. The contest will be on the rifle range east of the city bright and early on the Fourth, probably beginning at a. m. Shoot ing will be at 200, 300 and 600 yards, both timed and magazine fire, the arms used being Springfield rifles, with regular army sights.
 Refreshment on the range will be provided for the visitors by a commit tee headed by Charles Heath. In the evening they are to be dined at the Arizona club in a fraternal session, where all Tucson-Phoenix animosities will be buried and where caviling on the weather of either burg will be barred.
 Following the rifle match will be a pistol match for a silver cup offered by President McClintock " the club, regulation army automatics to be used The visitors will be welcomed in this match, and there is a bare possibility that the cup may go to Tucson, where it is understood there are some re- markedly good eyes and notably steady arms
 Incidentally, there is no closed sea- son when a person of good American character cannot join the Phoenix Rifle club. The proceeding is easy simply consisting in seeing Secretary Chapman If the Hanny store and pay ing $2 for a years dues. If you want a regulation rifle or pistol, there may be a chance to acquire one, and ther the way will be paved toward the rifle range and an expert rating.

FIRST GAS MASKS
Saturday Evening Pos)


 It appeared that great chemists from England had immediately taken up the question of providing efficient gas res pirators, and until they came out were advising people as to emergency mea- sures. Some of these methods seemed to us very funny. We were told, for example, that a respirator could cas- ily'' be made by knocking the bottor off a bottle, filling the bottle with earth, and then learnin" to breathe with the neck of the bottle stuck in tth mouth. The breath was to be taken in through the bottle and let out through the nose; but as bottle were scarce, and few of them survived the attempt to get the bottom broken off, there was not much doing. However, we learned that handkerchiefs filled with earth and kept moist would keep some of the gas out, and by the time | the first novelty had worn off we were receiving private respirators from England
