The Jovexat-Mixen_ is in receipt s, a copy of the New York Evening Sun, containing a marked article, about Col. Fred C. Ainsworth hav ing eloped years ago from Prescott with Pauline Markham, the actress. The article in question contains some facts, but in its sensational features is entirely erroneous. Col. Fred C. Ainsworth was stationed at Whipple Barracks near Prescott when Pauline Markham resided in Prescott. The Colonel was popular not only with the “fe male population” but with the male population as well, and he still en joys that popularity. Pauline Mark boo was put posessed as a husband during her residence here and she and Col. Ainsworth consequently never eloped, nor was the town scandalized, neither was Col. Ains worth ever suspended from duty while stationed at Whiggle. That well known New York theatrical manager, or whose au thority this sensational story is pub lished should try his hand on some other kind of fiction.

Treasurer Oliver was seated in front of the court house today with the delinquent tax list offering the property for sale on which taxes are delinquent. There were but few purchasers, but choice proper ties found ready buyers. He got about half through the list today. Among the properties which are on the list for tomorrow's sale is the P.

The Jovrnat Miner deserves to be cut off the Democrat's exchange list.”—Albu querque Democrat. The mistake was not intentional and we apolo gize to our very highly esteemed ‘contemporary for committing an ‘offense which is really almost un pardonable. But if forgiven this time we will promise “not to let it happen again.” Benton Jones,the hero of a big snake story in this morning's Cour ier, called on us this morning with an enlarged edition of his imsgi tion. The traditional waters of the ‘ Hassayamps have made many old timers go over the divide for the last time with the riches of an EL Dorado almost within reach, but this is the first time in its history that the harmless waters of the Santa Maria splash into the faces of pros pectors and editors double-fanged serpents of dime novel proportions, while there are plenty of and Nigger Ben mining propositions left on which notoriety and boat can be had. Before Treasurer Oliver reached the P. A. C. railroad, today, on the delinquent tax list, he was noti fied that the company had filed an answer and would contest the claim of the county. Our contemporary alleges that the cause of contest is that, “the company considers the rate of taxation levied upon its road too high.” “The rate of taxation” against the P. A.C. railroad is just the same as that levied against all kinds of property in the county. For a political subdivision of a ter ritory asking to be clothed in the garbs of statehood, it must be ad mitted that the rate, three per cent, is rather high. Should the P. A. C. railroad company secure a deci sion to the effect that this rate is too high every tax payer in the county will have a legitimate claim for a rebate on his taxes. For Over Fifty Years Mire.
