Suppose one.or a yumber.of us find-a quartz ledge ‘or gravel channel, and want to open it up. Neither any one nor all of us combined have enough money to put up machinery, employ labor, and propesky open the mine. But under the Constitution the main object of which seemed to be displaying an antagonism to aggregated capital, » ave would have a hard ftime to form incorporations or prevail upon the right kind of men to become Directors of the same. In the Constitution it was declared that all mining operations should be taxed doubly— first the mine itself, and afterwards the stock which represented nothing more. nor less than the -property itself. Such taxation was unjust. _ If one of you or myself owned a claim alone, it would be taxed but once; whereas, if several of us formed a corporation we would be compelled to submit to a system of double taxation that would’ cripple even the must productive enterprises. The stock of a mine merely represents the property's worth, or is supposed to, Beyond all this, the income tax clause provides that the profits of a mine, if it yielded any, should also be taxed, thus making treble taxation. law was not only unfair, but a very dishonest one.

With it the State will partially make up the thirty five thousand dollars paid to thiscounty, consequently leaving our fund short six thousand dollars, necessitating the levy of an additional tax tomake up the deficiency. -If any one doubts my statement, let him consult the County Auditor puting the truth thereof.

Nelson, of Forest City, concerning a New Quartz Mill, called a Barrel mill, and the Messenger gives this extract from the letter: ‘It isa barrel of about 4 feet long by 5 feet in diameter, having a smaller barrel inside, the distance between the two being one foot ; these Barrels have iron staves or bars set three-sixteenth inches apart, and” are provided with 150 lbs. of very hard iron.balls, from 2 to 5 inches in diameter. The barrels, orrather the revolve 16 to 18 times per minute—are furnished with screens of any fineviess desired—-will reducé to, 50: fineness 20 toj54 tons per day with 5 or 6 horse power. Are thoroughly protected in all parts agaist wear and the cost of iron per ton of ore reduced “is 2 3-4 cents.» Instead of iron balls, round cobblestone can be used, reducing the cost of crushing to little or nothing. The bars or staves wear four to six months, according to the stuff the Barrel is operating on, and are easily replaced. -The cost. of Barrel is $1000. -After arrival on mill site, it can be set up in 4 to Sdays or less. It is a splendid amalgamator in -connection with the ordinary apron, and plates of the stamp mill outside the Barrel and arranged in the same way. ee Another Mine to . be Opened. -": A company is , contemplating shortly commencing the work of opening up the Beckman Hill gravel lead, in the neighborhood of Pleasant Valley. ‘The ground has been prospected some in the past, with good results; but no shafts or tunnels havbed-rock the value of the lead has not been definitely determined. oe — Gene to Jalil te Bloom. eee George Rose, the You Bet pink Union Hotel door at the heads of J. nell Saturday evening, was sentenced in Judge Garthe’s Court yesterday to pay a fine of $60, or go to Jail for 60 days.

In the Constitution it was declared that all mining operations should be taxed doubly— first the mine itself, and afterwards the stock which represented nothing more. nor less than the -property itself. Such taxation was unjust. _ If one of you or myself owned a claim alone, it would be taxed but once; whereas, if several of us formed a corporation we would be compelled to submit to a system of double taxation that would’ cripple even the must productive enterprises. The stock of a mine merely represents the property's worth, or is supposed to, Beyond all this, the income tax clause provides that the profits of a mine, if it yielded any, should also be taxed, thus making treble taxation. law was not only unfair, but a very dishonest one.
