Last week We barely had space TO

that he died a natural death while asleep.
II is supposed he had been dead several
days. His old horse was very thirsty
and had .al everything within reach.
Slavin was about fifty years old. lived by
himself. boarded the grain and hay that
he had raised on his eighty acres for the

A COLORADO LETTER.
PLAToRo, Col, April Is, 1891

PLAToRo, Col, April Is, 1891.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The mining interest of Southern Colo
RADIO, the centennial states greatest in
dustry. One of the most promising
young camps in the state, is Platoro in
Conejos county, the leads are true fissure
viens, the mineral contained in them is
of refractory quality, but, nevertheless
of high grade, carrying gold and silver.
The silver consists of three different
species, rubby silver, brittle silver and
silver glance. The gold is found in copper
pyrites and quartz The most developed
piece of property is the Mammoth mine,
which was started from prospect hole
in the ground about two years ago. and
is new large producer and having
in sight at least half million dollars.
This property is under the able and eff
cient management of John n. Palmer,
one of Colorados pioneer mining men.
The Parole. Valley Queen and Golden
Egg are all located in the same vein as
the Mammoth, and from the indications
at the present time, with small amount
more of development, they will be as
large producers as the famous Mammoth
mine. The Merrimac mine which is now
in litigation, has ore in paying quanti-
ties which will be taken out and shipped
as soon as their difficulties between their
stockholders can be settled. The Forest
King is another of our undeveloped prop
critics. In the face of their tunnel which
is now 200 feet in length, shows from six
10 ten inches of pay streak which
runs from 5000 to $500. The Congress
mine which is located on the south
fork of the Conelos is nothing more
nor less than the continuation of the
mammoth ledge. There are several 9TH
er mines on the Lake Fork belonging to
Watson Bros. Of Cleveland Ohio, which
undoubtedly adds to our list of produc ers
this coming year, with the confidence
they have In their properties 1t is their
intention TO put In a mill to reduce their
own ore. Dillon and 1ngstrom also have
as fine properties for the amount of work
done as can be found in the camp. The
Peoria, Yellow Jacket and Boomerang
have also ores in paying quantities but
the cost of shipping from this point is
such that that they cannot be worked at
the present time. The No. 10 mine has
fine vein Of ore in the breast of the
lower level, which Will be taken out and
shipped as soon as they can get machin-
cry 70 handle the water. The Euryclice
mine is taking out from one to two car
loads month. running as high as $500
per ton, the majority of ore found in
this camp runs from $500 to $. coo per
ton in gold and silver. In the near fu-
ture | hape TO be able TO give an account
of the mines at Summitville lying seven
miles TO the north az the base of South
mountain, also Creek camp with galena

A Chinese Joke.

\ rich man, living between the forges OF
two blacksmiths, was continually ANNOYED
by the noise of their hammers, and was in
despair at being unable TO rest either by
day or by night At irst be tried to in
ducs them to hammer more quietly; then
he made them all kinds of promises II they
would only change their sbodes. Tho two
blacksmiths at last fell in with his pro-
posals, and he, transported with JOY at the
prospect of their departure, entertained
them regardless Of expense at farewell
banquet. At the end of the feast he asked
them where they insended to set up their
smithies well" said one of them. che

AN EXPENSE TO ITALY,

From the Wash ngton Post.
it is not known for certain whether
Secretary Blaine has any sinister designs
against the Italian government or not,
but the reckless way in which he runs up
telegraph tolls would suggest scheme
to bankrupt King Humbert's treasury.
Wednesday, with the sang froid of q
space writer, the secretary piled in On
Marquis imperial special of about
$500 words, which the marquis, of
course, had to cable to Rudini. At the
regular rates of the cable company the
treasurer of the Italian government
would have to go down in his vaults for
stiff price to paw for a message telling
Minister Rudini that there Is no green in
the governmental eye of the United
States, and that he is not in it, when it
comes to measuring swords with James
G. Blaine.
This is only one message, whereas
since the New Orleans affair several of
almost equal length have been trans
mitted to the land of the Caesars. Italy
is not any too we'll fixed financially as il
is, and Rudini has been trying to devise
some means of relieving the depression
IN order to make himself solid with the
people and hold his job. If he continues
his controversy with the United States,
running up big bill of expenses with
the telegraph company, he may find
himself in an embarrassing position. He
is not reaping any too much honor from
his tilt with Secretary Blaine as it is, and
if the Italians find that he is carrying On
his useless war of words at 81 cents a
word. there viii be a demand for a
cheaper premier.
The laugh is all on the side Of the
United States. If Rudini insists on an
unlimited supply of diplomacy Mr..
Blaine will give him all the material he
needs 10 work on, but 1t costs 57- cents
word TO get it over the salt water. II
has been asserted and was quietly talked
of in various quarters yesterday that
Rudini's next move will be 10 demand in
deunity from the United States for
cablegram tolls incurred since the New
Orleans affair. Enough has been paid
out IN these tolls already TO pay for half
the worthless Malta in louisiana Il
has been suggested that in case the affair
should become serious enough 70 call for
ar FILTRATION these charges for messages
across the water might from basis Of
the United States govern
ment paving for those sent from this
country, If Italy would relinquish her
claim for indemnity for the Malta killed

ASSESSMENT BANK STOCKS AND
CIRCULATION.

! The supreme court of Kansas last
week decided in the case of the First
National Bank of Leoti, an appeal,
against E. w. Fisher, county treasurer
and John Ii. Edwards, sheriff, all of
Wichita county, reversing the decision
of the district court, unanimously decid-
ing as follows:
/. The assessment of the entire oapi-
tai stock of a national bank in solido"
against the bank itself, is invalid
,. The only way that the capital
stock of q national bank can be reached
IS by the assessment of the shares of the
different individual stockholders. Under
the statute of this state, the bank NAV
pay the tax assessed upon the shares of
its different stockholders, and it will
have lien thereon, when it paws such
tax, until the same is satisfied. But, If
from any cause, the tax levied upon the
different stockholders is not paid by the
bank, the property of the individual
stockholders will be liable therefor.
3. The individual stockholders of a
national bank are allowed the same de-
auctions from the assessment against
them upon their shares of stock as other
tax payers IN the state owning moneyed
capital are allowed. But, of course, no
double deduction or exemption can be
allowed 10 any stockholder.
Judge Brannon, at Maquoketa, Ia,
has rendered decision regarding the
taxation of national bank notes. which
is of national interest. The case is that
of l.. B. Nunham VS.. the City of Maquo-
keta, on appeal to the Jackson county
district court. In concluding the opin-
ION, which covered all the points in
volved and reach by law, state and
national, the judge said:
The law of this state declares bank
bills 10 be taxable. The circulating notes
OF national banks are neither more nor
less than bank bills. There is nothing in
the laws of this state that would EXEMPT
them from taxation. and nothing in the
acts OF congress. properly considered.
that would prohibit such taxation. Nv
conclusion Is that the action of the board
of equalization IN raising the assessment
of appellant to SIS, coo was justified
both by the law and the facts. and is
authorized by the law OF our own state.
which makes bank bills subject TO taxa

Col. Livingstone, president of the Geor-

cans to refuse TO act with them next year
and that the Democracy will have things

may be deoelved.-Emporis Republican.

goes TO prove that the southern wing of
the Alliance is only tail to the Demo

ready to Justify Mr.. McGrath and those
for whom he speaks in this state and
throughout the west and north TO carry
into effect his threat that unless the
southern Alliance sewers It's connection
with the Democratic party and at once
asserts its independence of old parties.
the members in this and other states will
return to their old party allegiance and
alignment. VIII they do it, or are they
