The matter has been presented to the people of the mining States on the Pacific Coast, where the necessity for the bureau is evident. The hard work will be to interest the non- mining States, but these are much less numerous than they were a few years ago, the exploitation of mineral resources in nearly all parts of the eountry having been rapid and extensive. The miners of the Pacific Coast, who have long worked for recognition of their industry at Wash- ington, will be pleased with anything that can_ bring the day of the establishment of the mining department nearer. The Assessors and mine-owners have | been busy all over the State recently dis- cussing the valuation of mining proper- ties for the purposes of taxation. 'he Mining and Scientific Press takes the ground that as a mine is not a reproduc- ive property and its yleld of m is not reproductive in’the same sense that a yield of agricultural or pastoral products is, and as taxation of mines can absorb the land, mine taxation should deal with mine production rather than with mines, mining lands or mining tools. The Minin Press furnishes some carefully compil facts concerning the taxation of mines abroad and says: Great Britain, to recover the cost of the war with the Transvaal, has announced an intention of assessing a royaity on the gold production of CAPITAL IS GOING the Rand mines, and has indicated 10 per cent of the value of the gross yield as the probable amount of the royalty. The Canadian Govern- ment has for three years collected 10 per cent royalty on the gross placer gold production of the Yukon Territory comprehending the Klon- 4ike, and this year has reduced the amount and is collecting 5 per'cent. The Russian Cabinet exacts 20 per cent royalty of the gross gold yield of its placers. The Korean Government, with different concessions, has made different royalty rates on the gross gold yield up to 20 per cent. One concession made the royalty on all metals and coal 20 per cent. The Nether- lands Government exacts high royalties and other taxes on mine production in_the Dutch East Indles. The Government of British Co- lumbia has several grades of royalty on gross metal produetion and a large number of in rect fees and charges that are paid for the priv- llege of mine operation, regardless of whether ::1’ ‘mine is producing metal or is not producing Taxes in the States. Concerning the taxation of mines in the United States the same paper says: In the United States, Nevada had a bullion A Money-Saving Proposition. To-morrow the Factory Sale of Shoes will sell $2.50 men's and ladies’ shoes for $1 a pair. There will be on the table 1000 pairs of each. This is a special offer.

Portland S8hoe Factory Sale, 717 Market street, near Third. o tax which was the equivalent of a royalty on the gross value of the metal production. It has been repealed. Montana imposes a 3 Der cent tax on the met annual profits of min- ‘ng, on the net value production instead of the gross. Most of the States and Territories ai- tempt to tax mines on their property value uniform in its incidence with the taxation of other property. Practically it is only an at- tempt. In Colorado the attempt has been made to tax mines on the basis of an assess- ment value determined by the selling value of the stock. Very generally In other States the-mines that are not producing are taxed on far higher relative assessments of valuation than the producing and profit-earning mines of the sdme district. The writer has in mind an instance where a mine, paying its owners $200,000 net out of a gross production of $260,000 in one year, was that year taxed $160 on a valuation of $10,000. A mine alongside of it that did not produce a doliar of value, ana in fact never did, having a finer plant of machinery was taxed §240 on an assessment of $15,000. The facts were known at the time, yet there was no protest at what would reasonably seem an absurd inequality in comparative vai- uation for taxation. The Mother Lode Banner says: A New York company has taken a bond on the Von Tromp, near Columbia. The Willietta mine, near Jacksonville, is closed down and_the time’ of resumption is uncertain. Eagle mine is about to resume. Hal J. Sisty has made arrangements, backed by Colorado capital, to take charge of the old Soulsby mine at_Soulsbyville on August 1.° The Tu- olumne Water Company is considering the question of supplying power to the Bonanza mine for the running of pumps and compressor. The use of the electric fluid will make the operating expenses of the mine much lighter. Edward Doyle and W. C. Oaks have sold their interest in the Darrow mine, near Rawhide, to the Hampton brothers, Who have already be- gun active operations on the property. Mining Properties Active. "Fhe Marivosan reports that Charles C. Burrill, Fannie D. Burrill and three oth- ers have bonded the Whiterock King cop- per mine and also 380 acres of additional land for the development of copper. According to the Needles Eye, a fifth vein of hard bituminous coal has been un- covered at the Mammoth mines near Randsburg, and the company is trying to sell the output to the Navy Department, to be shipped via San Diego. The Scott Valley Advance says that C. D. Porter and assoclates have bonded four claims of the Pioneer Mining Com- adjoining the Bully Hill mine, for about $60,000. gorter is now a resident of Seattle and has operated in several States and Territories. Mineral Weaith reports an unprecedent- ed demand for mine labor in Northern California. The crews that have been put upon the different new prospects of the copper belt, the increased force in the De la Mar mines and the work on the new electrical and power enterprises have left vacancies. The renewal of activity in Trinity County has also created a démand for miners and laborers. There will be 1000 men at work on the Sweepstakes mine for some_time. On the Shasta Power Com- pany’s ditch a large force will be em- ployed. The Yreka Journal says that E. D. Berry of the Cherry Creek quartz mine has organized a company in New York Best Routes to the Yosemite Valley Are via the Bouthern Pacific.

Quartz Valley Is about the liveliest mining section in Sis- kiyou County at this time. The placer claims are running short of water. The copper output of the United States, according to the figures supplied by the Copper Producers’ Association, dimin- ished in the first six months of the pres- ent year slightly, as compared with the | corresponding period in 1900. Several mines increased their production, but oth- | ers reduced their output. The total for six months of 1901 was 133,394 tons. The exports fell off 40,000 tons. Purchasing and Bonding. Philadelphia_and Oakland recently bought the George Upton mine in Amador County, have alsd purchased the Wheeler mine, near Plymouth. This groperty has a 20-stamp mill upon it and as ?l)fld machinery. It is about one and alf miles east from Plymouth. The Tuolumne Democrat reports that the Mary Ellen mine has been bonded to | business men in Los Angeles by Joslah Phillips. The Porto Fino mine will pass into the hands of Eastern people, who have it under bond. A new shaft has been sunk at the Jubilee mine, which was for- merly known as the Hazel Dell mine. There is a revival of mining in the Glen- coe district, as reported by the Calaveras Chronicle. The Lewis mine, formerly the Poorman, will be sunk deeper. The After- thought mine near Railroad Flat is being developed under a working bond by the Boire brothers. ThQMJoues mine_has been sold to the Fanny Marie Gold Mine and Milling Company by Zimmerman & Zum-/ walt. The pew owners are sinking the working shaft. 3 The Georgetown Gazette says that the Alpine mine, southwest of Georgetown, Wrapper Flannels.
