Tie fact is, the farmers and ranch
men of Montana, at present rely alto
gethhr upon a local market. What
makes the thriving cities Of Montana ?
Hog many purely agricultural towns
have we? The capital invested in
minds is what has built up our cities
and afforded a market for our ranch
men To day every ranchman within
fifty miles of this district is patiently
waiting and hoping for the incoming
of capital, that they may be provided
with a hons market. Does anyone
suppose that they endorse the fallacies
Of tie Husbandman =? Although the
especial champion of the stock and
agricultural interests, we believe its
position on the question on taxing
mines finds very few endorsers in this
section. There may be a few cattle
men who do, and that too when their
two and three year olds are worth from
$35 to $50 on the range, although
they have sold them as low as $I8 and
$50 in days gone by. But we believe
the majority Of them are rational, and
knowing that thereh has been two dol
lars sunk where one has ever been
out Of the ground, viii concede
the wisdom Of the Constitution makers,
and give the instrument their hearty
endorsement. Taxing of the net pro
ceeds Of a mine IS the only true
method.
The Mineral argus., 1884-08-21

We publish this week a communica-
ton from Mr.. David Jones, partially
in rcp,g to our statement as regards
the neglect of the assessment work on
mines being, to a degree, the cause Of
the tardy growth of our camp, and
partially the cause Of the present hard
times. Mr.. Jones claims that with all
he work done as required by law, for
the three years of the existence Of this
district, but $500 would have been
spent upon each, and then the prop
erty would be of no more value, or,
IN his words, show much would that
expenditure have enhanced the value
of the properties either for sale or the
extraction Of ore?' As regards the
outlay, 5000, for the time specified,
we agree with the writer, and would
say that IN our opinion the property
would be worth to the owner at least
-be amount invested, OF would demon

The citizens and miners of this town
and district should make a general
move toward securing the reduction
Of this reservation as petitioned for.
The bill providing for the disposal or
reduction Of military reserves passed
congress, has been signed by the Pres
ident and is now a law empowering
the Secretary of the Interior, with the
approval of the President, to act. In
our case the position is thoroughly
understood by the present administra-
ton, and if their attention is drawn to
the matter now much time and trouble
will be saved. Hon. Martin Maginnis
has been supplied with maps and plats
approved by two of the post com
manders, the President and Secretary
of War have pledged their assistance
and approval, thus it would seem that
by calling their attention to it the mat
Ter would be speedily settled.

The HusBARDmAms LAmENT.

The Husbandman seems to be griev-
ing because the territorial press Will
not join it in "bucking" against the
new constitution and is surprised l. and
that it is the only paper in the terri
tory that is jumping straight up into
the air because it cannot shake off that
clause in the constitution that relates
to the taxing of mines, While the
question should have been left for the
legislature to deal with, its endorse
ment as it now stands, by a large
majority Of the people, will prevent
its being made a local issue IN the
election of legislative candidates in
the future. 1t is probably just as well
to settle the matter at once, adopting
as our guide the liberal provisions and
exemptions Of older States and terri
tories regarding the taxing Of mines.
If II was deemed wise to be liberal
twenty years ago when capitalists were
eager for mining investments it is far
more essential now, when investors are.
scarce and timid-experience having
taught many a severe lesson.
If the Husbandman has discovered
a method to calculate the value Of a
mine It should give it to the world
immediately. The value placed on a
mine is largely fcticious or specuIa-
t%ive--hence a hazardous investment.
Taxing ore on the dump has been
tried in older regions and found i'm
practicable. The Husbandman says:
eve do not demand taxation of prop
erty on the basis of its cost, but on
the basis Of its value" How r YOU
to determine the value of a mine
You should have said estimated value.
SuPposing a miner has spent several
years in developing his property and
IS finally rewarded by the discovery
Of a body Of ore, and The owner, think
ing that capitalists VIII pay a round
figure, places his pice at $4,000,
should he be taxed on $4,000? The
price IS fictitious, not real. Our con-
temporary says: However, if holes
in the ground have a value tax them
for all they are worth" How are you
to determine their value? They
are SIMPLY growing like a crop of wheat
and are liable to fail at any time. If
you tax n tai the other, but it would
be unjust to tax either.
There is no parallelism between the
and miner. The former usu-
ally get their living if nothing more,
rom their land the first year, and in a
years the frugal aud industrious
are placed beyond want, and gradually
improve their condition, while the
