GOVERNMENT
 ,t FIXES EXPORT TAX

The export tax imposed by the Mexican government on oils has been adjusted to meet the demands of the big exporters ,and as a consequence much money is rolling into the coffers of the government. The tax on the Mexican Petroleum company for the five months of the year amounted to $1,500,000. Other companies are pre- pairing to pay in their tax quota and millions will be eventually paid during the year. The old tax was so exhor- bitant that it could not be met by the oil men and only a small amount of oil was offered for export, although England was compelled to take con- siderable of it and pay the additional governmental tax.
 / Another tax that has been a bur- den on the active mining people of the Mexican states is the export and excise taxes, which have had to be paid by. the men shipping their bull lion fro mthe republic. Some of the metals cannot be exported at all, but when the embargo is raised the tax is very heavy: Each state has it's own particular way of getting at the fel- low who is tryin gto get his bullion out of that country, and if two states have to be crossed the two get their slice of the tax ,and it is not small. Effort is being made to pass a com prehensive bill taxing the products of the mines by the state, so that only one tax may be paid but it is found to be hard proposition. Mexico has been working and laboring under the old system and find it hard to break away. ]

''N|CCFR IN THE WOOD . PILE" SHOWING UP

A large sized "nigger" has develop ed in the woodpile of the new budget system of the state in the form of appropriations to the schools of the state. One of the most prominent features of this appropriation is that out of {, total of $1,S4s,C46.S5 the county of Maricopa receives $551,9TO.- A. practically one-third os the total. yhroagf peculiar circumstance this is tE. ,,enly year that this app '1pila- tiun will be available, the regular SIS per capita being used in the apportion- ment for the forthcoming years, un- less Maricopa can again prevail on the legislature to relieve her tax payers of the support of her own school children, gets but $27,827.04 of this. enormous appropriation, being the smallest in census school spOpula- tion. of any county of the. state, el- though seventh in wealth. In conse- quence of the taxable wealth of this county we have to make large contri- button to the upkeep of the schools of the other counties, Maricopa county getting the big chunk of the surplus.
 The school funds of the state are apportioned on population, while the levies are made against the wealth of the counties. In this way the big counties compel the small populated counties to contribute largely to their financial standing. Maricops can put in huhdreds of thousands of dollars in school buildings, knowing that the other counties of the state virtually support her schools, and in the present instance she is getting wonderful rakeotk- iJust why the present condi- tion sfists we are unable to state, but none ldthe little counties will be ben efitedits any extent by it.. &f,j

TO CUT. TELLURIDE: E. :, 7. VEIN LOWER DEPTH
 I'4. uSosV eV"AuU D@b bu

sstsssA rumor is current that the main shaft of the Telluride is to be carried to depth of at least 700 feet, which would gain the same level as the winze. The sinking of this shaft to the new level will be imperative on account of the opening of the big new ore body and the opening of stopes in that section of the mine.
 We understand that every foot of depth in the new winze has developed a better and more extensive ore body, the new ore being far and away larg- CT than the shaft and to carry values much higher than the ores that are being sent to the mill from the upper level. The striking of the larger ore body is important in that it is an in- dication that there may be better things in the mine at greater depth. The ore body that is now in view may be continuation of the ore body re- gently opened in the Tom Reed and which is said to show a strike into the Telluride ground.
 A Ore is still going forward to the Tom Reed mill and the receipts have been found to be sufficient to carry on the large amount of development work now under way, without having to call on the treasury of the com pany.

TURK SOLDIERS IN
 GIVES, ENTER CITY
Five Thousand Said to Have Filtered Into Eastern Thrace to Start
 Uprisings.

Rodosto, Thrace, Oct. 11.-(By AS sociated Press)-Five thousand Turk ish nationalist soldiers in civilian at tire have filtered into eastern Thrace during the last fortnight through this city and other ports on the Sea of Marmora for the purpose of facilitat- ing the Turkish occupation of the province, according to information received by the allied mission here.
 The Kemalist soldiers have mostly come in with groups of refugees, making their detection difficult. The local Greeks declare the object of this inflltration is to torment disturbances, organize bands of irregulars and gather information for reprisals.
 The police have uncovered store of incendiary bombs hidden beneath tombstones at Ipsala, just east of the Maritza river which the Greeks claim to be of Turkish origin, and the re- cent blowing up of railroad bridge on the Saloniki line near Stuff is also charged to the kemalists. A small band of irregulars near Demotika fired, on trainfoad of refugees from Asia Minor killing seven
 The Turks on the other hand claim that two villages were burned by the Greeks near Kirk kilseh.
