Smith MINE MEN HEARD ON GOLD TAXING BILL IN HOUSE on Gross Production- Retard Development | For the second time this session |the gross gold tax bill came up for an airing in the Territorial House this afternoon with mining men from about the Territory appearing in epposition to the measure which would levy a three per cent tax on the gross production of gold and platinum mines and a net tax on the production of other mir | The measure has previously had a public hearing in the Senate and was | of five to three. | An amendment is now before | House, introduced by Leonard Smith |of the Second, which would change !the measure, originally presented by |M. E. S. Brunelle of the Third, ;A two per cent gross tax on all minerals produced. It was for con- sideration of this amendment along with the original bill that the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole this afternoon for gen-| eral discussion of the measure, one of the most important pieces of| legislation to come before this ses- sion. Appearing before the House com- mittee today were H. L. Faulkner,| Juneau attorney and representa- tive of mining interests; L. H. Metz- | r, General Superintendent of the ka Juneau; Paul Sorenson of t-Chichagof, James Freeburn of the Chichagoff Mining Company and J. D. Harlan of the Hammon| Consolidated. | Mr. Metzgar pointed out that if the new gross tax bill became a law it would virtually double the tax bill of the Alaska Juneau to the Territory which is now around $90,- 000. He declared that rising costs of materials and the higher price of gold at $35, making it profitable |to work lower grade ore, had re- ?mlwd in a lesser margin of profit than formerly. He explained that the A. J. is now working ore which {it would have been impossible to {work under the old price. Asked his¥ |opinion of the Smith amendment, |Mr. Metzgar said that he was op- {posed to the gross tax theory, but |that if a gross tax bill was to be ‘nacted, the lower it was the bet- for all operations. | Principal objection of most of the operators to the gross tax is that the tax must be paid whether or not the operators make. any imoney. Mr. Faulkner pointed out |the Kensington property in Ber-| iners Bay which is just in the course| of development and declared that| the to deter such operations and per-| se down some entirely. He| rious mining laws in the States and in Yukon Territory, but was questioned sharply on the latter by Victor C. Rivers of the Fourth.| |Mr. Faulkner said his information was that a royalty on net profits in excess of $10,000 is the only tax levied in Yukon Territory. Repre- sentative Ross asked to have read |a portion of an article which said a two and one-half per cert tax {was levied on the value of ail gold ’smpp«'d out of the Yukon Territory. j:Butlon:Ain Nose 40 ‘ Years, Is Removed TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 26—Mrs. E. F. Melcher was short one but- {ton today, after forty years. The button was removed from her nostril by a physician whom she consulted after unexplained nose pains developed five months ago. Mrs. Melcher was able to ac- count for the button’s presence only by saying she must have placed it there when she was a child still too small to tell her parents what she had done. - Man Finds Gas Well in His Own Backyard NORWALK, O., reo. 26. — Dan Smith says he doesn't expect to pay a gas bill for years to come— he has his own gas well right in his back yard. Smith was drilling in the yard of his residential-district home about a month ago when he found gas in a limestone formation at a depth of about 3C0 feet.

OLD ALASKA - GRAFT SOLD {Steamer City of Seattle, Famous Ship, Going to Boneyard The famous old passenger steam- ar City of Seattle, noted in her day on the Southeast Alaska run as one thern trade, is headed for her last roundup—the shipbreakers down in Miami, Fla. This was revealed in a general summary of ship sales received here Built at Philadelphia in 1890 the vessel was constructed of steel up to her main deck with a full wood- len superstructure. She was brought lout to the Pacific Coast first by the old Pacific Coast Steamship Company and taken over by the Admiral Line when that firm pur- chased ships and good will of the | former line. { For many years she was a fa- vorite ship on the Alaska run, being comfortable and fast. However,she |became too small for the growing |business and along about 1921 or |22 was sold to Miami interests where she has given faithful serv- ice until recently. Alaskans of a vintage previous to sixteen years ago or so will re- member with friendly interest this speedy liner which did her part in the building up of the Northern | empire. ; oo & HERE TO SETTLE Arriving in Juneau from Seattle this morning aboard the motorship }Norco were Mr. and Mrs. Albert | Patnode, of Portland, Ore. who plan to make their home in Alaska.

The Jail’s Full! Chief of Police Roy Hoffman this morning announced a condition of satiety as prevalent in the Juneau City Jail. According to the Chief's state- ment, an unusually heavy run of persons convicted of drunkenness and disorderly conduct during the past few days, has resulted in the fact, which the City must face, that there is no longer room in the jail for more commitments. The Chief added an appeal to the consumers of Juneau, to the effect that the City would very much ap- preciate it, if all and sundry who plan excessive indulgence will delay their goings-on until there is more room available for their disposal. y | filed with the Territorial Auditor by |, nuN T lET CONSTIPATION MAKE YOU Sic Do something about it and do it today.
