TAXING MINING CLAIMS.-Iere is what Holmes,
of the Marposa Gazette, says in his last issue up.
on the matter:
general and growing feeling is observable
throughout the State for the taxing of mining
claims which idea il broached and advocated
five years ago, would have rendered its advocate
n suitable subject for q mob, or II two years ago
would have made him the victim of anathemas
and execration of barking puppies, verbally and
Inv publication The theory of these prostitutes
was that miner must necessarily be " honest"
next hard workng-neXt, that he knew more
than most people. Mountain members of the
LEGISLATURE were afraid to touch the matter for
fear of dsapproval and loss OF popularity, and
consequently the business has been suffered to go
on and the great interest of the mountain cOun-
ties has not paid at all for its protection. This
county of Marposa has been put TO more expense
in protecting mining interests than IN any other
way Miners are always quarrelllng and when
thew complain to blind or hoodwinked goddess,
IL is TINS The People ps So and so. Yet not
n cent do they contribute. nor have contributed
To the support of local laws and for the adjudca-
ton of their diliiculties, except by POl Tax, which
is always avoided by running into the bushes If
the collector is seen in time to gam such cover
Thus il is that poor mans COW hls caon, his
Improvement connected with q nome ne mas come
here to establish, has to pay a rich mining mans
tax---bas to pay all of it. One robs the earth,
the other improves the surface OF it. One is. in
four 6lths of cases transient, and the other per-
manent. Then again a man can change his prop
erty from value in improvement whereOn he is
taxed to mining interests and escape tax Now is
tber. another such q condition attached to
revenue law in any State of the United States, or
in the world! That property of any description
can be changed from visible real value to an-
other of equally visible value-such as selling one
thousand head of cattle taxed, and buying por
ton of the Pine Tree Vein, Bear Valley, aud es.
cane tax, is an anomaly. We care very little
about the matter, for the people should have re-
gulated it long ago. What we hate however, is
TO see man, who has stuck up a house temporary
to improvement, and has a few ducks, chickens,
a COW or two and perhaps some sheep. pay the
tax of an owner OF $1,000 mining claim. The
law of making mining claims pay their proper
tion, if passed now, would be good deal like
locking the stable door after the horse had been
taken for easily worked and ready available
mines are gutted. No wonder that settlers get
along slowly and are discouraged, or that mining
