The net output tax bill passed at
the Legislature is bringing forth some
severe criticism, especially from Lead
viflo, where the bill was originated by
Mr.. D. E. Parks. 1t is claimed that
the bill is after all very defective, and
that it will fail to secure the taxation
Of the mines. The miners. claim that
the law does not compel them to re-
turn the net output Of their mines to
tathe Assessor. All, under this in.
terpretation,- which they have to do is
to report the amount OF. mineral on
hand on the 1st day of May, and
therefore they need only see to ittha,
on that day they have very little ore
in their bins. II this is correct it will
amount practically to repeal of the
law.

Smith Cullom, the senior partner OF
the mercantile house of Cullom & Co.,
started for Denver last Tuesday
morning, in pursuit Of pleasure and a
little recreation. Mr.. Cultom has
been a resident oe this section of the
country since the "boom" of 80 in
Irwin, and has been engaged n his
present business ever since. He has
been a resident of our town for about
three years and has made many warm
personal friends, and is regarded by
all who know him as young man Of
sterling worth and integrity, generous,
fearless IN his convictions, and ambl-
tious. He has, with his partner, in
terested himself in the chief industry
of our section, mining,- and is await
ing the fruit Of his labors, which, We
hope, may come soon and carry him
back where he once kissed the glrls
back of the old school house. He has
not been enjoying the best of health
lately, and hence his trip to Denver.
It is the first time he has been out OF
the ''harness" for long tiue. We
wish him all sorts Of pleasure.

Minerals More Valuable than Gold.

Valuable in few cases because Of
the great difficulty and expense of ex-
tracing them, but in the majority of
cases because of their rarity. Below
l give the names of some of them with
value per Troy pound of II OUNCES.
For comparison give first the values
Of one Troy pound OF gold and silver.
Gold. s24o; silver, s12.75; ALUMINIUM,
$50; bismuth, 81: cadmium, 81; chro
MUM, $50; cobalt, S12 Iridium, $4ao;
nickel, So; osmium, 5000; palladium,
5000; platinum, s96; rhcd,um, $1,000;
ruthenium, sa8oo; selenium, 500; IT,
tanium, $6; vanadium, s17oo.
Several of these metals possess
properties of the greatest value and If
they could be found in quantity would
command a ready market. Two of
them, aluminium and t,tanium. are Of
anything but rare occurrence, but they
are ve:y difficult to extract. Seleni-
UNI will take a part IN the future great
development Of electricity cobalt is
used for the preparation Of pigments
and for inparting beautiful tints stain
ed glass; chromium is useful t, the
dyer; platinum is almost az necessary
to the chemist and electrician as the
air they breathe; Csmium, iridium,
palladium, rhodium and rtthen,um,
are metals all harder than gold, llghter
and less capable of tarnish OF rust, and
find their uses in the construction OF
scientific instruments and are used by
governments in the construction OF
their standard weights and measures,
and in the not far future will probably
take rank as coinage material. In
conclusion let me say that indie ations
of some of these metals in this locality
are not lacking, and l would urge up
on the miner and pruspector to take
| to his chemist or assayer everything
that presents strange or unusual ap-
pearanee though containing no gold
or silver. He should recollect that
there are valuable metals other than
gold or silver. T. D! Gill.

The first time General Grant left Gull pepper Courthouse, where his headquar- ters then were, for Washington, the qarte~- master made up a special train to accom- modate the sick and such as might have leave of absence. One passenger car in the train was reserved for General Grant and the two or three officers with him, and they did not attract any special atten- tion as they passed into the car. The general was always the plainest and least ostentatious man in the army. All the CATS of the train except the one reserved for General Grant were soon crowded. and many soldiers were standing on the plat form of the station. General Grant was sitting alone on the side of the car next to the platform and near the door, when a soldier came to the door and was told by the guard that inc could not come into that car. General Grant asked the guard what the man wanted, and was told that he
 wanted to go to Washington. The gen. eral then asked why he was not permitted to come into the car, and was answered {: oThat this car is special car for General Grant and his staff. The general replied quickly. sLet him come in. I only occu- py one seat in this car." This was the first intimation the guard had that Gen. eral Grant and his staff were in the car. The general then asked what the other men were doing who were standing out on the platform, and being told that they wanted to go to Washington, he said, s'Let all who can crowd in get in." The car was soon filled, ole private soldier taking a seat beside the general and engaging him Tn conversation nearly all the way to Alex andria, not knowing with whom he was talking. .-.

Nothing that has ever been said about me has so hurt and offended me as this, and the deepest humiliation of it is that so many are ready to believe it.

It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swel'ed limbs, ner- vousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy.

ST. PAUL'S TRADE.
What Our Wholesale and Retail Merchants
Have Been Doing the Past Week.


During the week just passed, there has
circles, though where spring trade has fairly
opened up an improvement will be noticed.
Discounts remain as usual, and exchange on
New York between banks has advanced from
discount to par.
Real estate continues TO be in eager de-
mand on all sides, and the greatest activity
prevails. Many strangers are in town view
ing business lots and outlying property; a
good number of transfers have taken place,
some of importance.
There was a good movement in wholesale
groceries. with a strong tendency for gen
eral rise in all provisions and canned meats,
owing to the probability of war in Europe.
The dry goods trade continues to develop
as the season advances; quite large bust
ness has been done in dress goods, prir IS
and cashmeres.
The drug market is active and orders are
increasing; all bromine preparations have
advanced; turpentine, cardamon, etc, are
lower; the week has been marked with q
steady and reliable trade, but has been un-
eventful.'
Glover seed is irmer.
fair amount of orders have been received
by the wholesale clothing houses for all de-
scriptions of spring goods, but trade is be-
hind for the season.
The boot and shoe trade is excellent at the
present time, orders being received daily
from all quarters.
An improving trade has been done in
leather, the prices of which remain firm. The
demand for harness leather continues.
Activity is exhibited in hardware gener-
ally. Steady orders are received right along,
with satisfactory collections.
The wine and liquor trade is reported
| quiet.
The commission merchants complain Of
dullness, the season for poultry is about over,
eggs are coming in freely, but are very low
in price and the supply exceeds the demand.
Butter remains dull. Large supplies Of Cali
fornia fruits have been received and are SELL
ing freely on account of their cheapness.
Apples are becoming more scarce. but still
there are sufficient to supply the demand.
The retail trade has been effected BY the
protracted cold weather, which has lasted
long enough to have given everyone time to
buy all the heavy clothing they need; until
mild weather sets in much improvement IS
not anticipated. c. A. MCNEALE,
Secretary 81. Paul Chamber of Commerce

The Stately Homes of Statesmen.

"One of the leading real estate agents here
is my authority" says the Washington cor
respondent of the Cleveland Leader, ''for the
following estimate of the homes of some Of
the leading men of the nation: Blaine's
house cost $780, 900, aud it rents for 10 per
cent. on S130,000 Don Cameron's big
house on Scott circle is worth $50, 900, and is
one of the finest finished houses in Wash
ington. Windom's house, just across the
way, which cost him his place in the senate,
is worth 100000, and ought to rent for a
good interest on that amount. Pendleton's
house, just above Cameron's, cost $40, 600 to
build, and is now worth $50, 900, and the big
brick of Secretary Robson, which adjoins
it, is valued at twice this sum. Bell, the tel
ephone man, also lives on Scott circle. He
paid s115, 900 for his house and stable, and
it is one of the most valuable properties in
Washington. Omar D. Conger has house
on NJ street, just off Thomas circle, which
Mrs. Conger bought at bargain.
She gave $4,000 for it. 1t was built by
pawnoroker, and it is, / should say, worth
twice as much as it cost. Mrs. Dahlgren,
the wife of the admiral, has house looking
out toward the Thomas statue worth $65, 600,
and just across the way in brown-stone
house on the corner, which is certainly worth
$35, 00Q, lives Poker Bob Schenck."

understood. 1t is believed that in case he
requires her to amend her plea and bring in
other grounds, there will be some painful
developments that will render Turnbull's
position more uncomfortable than now, which
is pretty hard to imagine. He has kept him
self pretty thoroughly excluded since his ac-
ccptance of position in the war department
now nearly two years ago. He refuses to
talk about his troubles, and takes without a
word in reply whatever attacks the newspapers
make on him, and some of them have GER
tainly been of an extremely severe character
whether deserved or not Turnbull's decision
to fight the case in the New York courts has
created considerable surprise here. 1t was
only at the last moment that he secured
counsel and showed fight He has engaged
Francis B. Peckham, one of the leading and
most successful lawyers in the state, who has
also been engaged by the husband of Mrs. C.
B. Fosdick, another fashionable New York
lady who desires divorce.
