TAXING GOLD INCOMES.

Senator Vest at Kansas CITY
told in few words the pivotal
reason for bimetaliism and an i'm
portant reason for taxing incomes.
mo country" he said, "can he
prosperous with increasing popu-
lation and decreasing money" A
little later, while upon the same
subject OF silver coinage, he said:
"Ciosing the mints of the world to
silver has increased enormously
the purchasing power of gold and
the value of incomes.
While we limit the sta ndard to
gold, the prosperity of the masses
Is diminished and the power OF
large incomes in the hands of few
is increased. Therefore, the Demo-
cratic party is for bimetallic COIN
age and the taxation Of incomes.
Large incomes can better than ever
afford to contribute directly to the
support Of Government. Four
thousand dollars year represents
as much power as $4,000 did in
1864.
1hs existence of an EXCLUSIVES
gold standard is one OF the unan-
swerable arguments for an incoma
tax. Free silver coinage and q
revenue tariff might render in
come taxes unnecessary. But an
long as the tariff Expresses the
household of the poor man in pro-
portion to the size of his family
and all out Of proportion to the size
of Eis income, and as long as
prosperity is dragged down by a
gold standard, the justice OF an
income tax is as plain as its useful
ness to the Treasury.
When the metals are both avail-
able as mo ney OF final redemption
and the tariff is for revenue only,
We will see what can be done
about the income tax. For the
present it stays.

SOUTH DAKOTA.

A correspondent of the Dead.
wood Times writes from the new
Bear Gulch district of that section
as follows:
For several days past / have
been tramplng over the high
mountains and deep valleys of this
wonderfully rich section of the
Black Hills. The placer claims
have proven more productive this
season than during any since their
discovery, in 1876, owing to the
supply of water for sluicing, hold
Ing out for much longer period
than heretofore. Many of these
hardy prospectors have made Bear
Gulch their home for the past
eighteen years, and have been quiet
ly at work developing their quartz
claims, which contain gold, silver
and tin in paying quantities.
During the spring and summer
they work the placers with good
results. Nearly every dollar thus
obtained is used up in developm ant
of the tin properties, which bid
fair at no distant day to rival, in
amount and value, the product of
any other tin district OF the world.
These tin bearing veins rfnGe fro n
10 to 90 feet in width and are ve,ti-
cal between we'll defined walls,
fairly well developed by means Of
shafts, tunnels, drifts and crosscu.s,
the shafts range from Is to 200
feet in depth and the deeper they
ore the better grade of ore. OF the
one hundred or more claims in the
district that are already opened,
there Is not one but what has hun.
dreds of tons on the dump that
would pay handsome profit for
treatment. The workings show an
almost unlimited quantity in place
The ore is in some respects different
IN appearance from that found at
Harney Peak, and carries a higher
per cent Of tin.
The owners OF the claim in the
recently discovered Beaver Placer
district are now at work
stripping and opening up the
ground, preparatory for sluicing
next season, when water will be
available for that purpose. Bed

Near the little village of San

unequal height. On one OF those

other two are covered with designs
of various kinds-all believed to
have come mysterious reference to
sunworship. Who the engrayer of

,sge Of the world the engraving
was done, is not known, but it is
highly probable that it was done
long before the Americas had ever
been seen by white men. The
stones are 30 large as to preclude
the idea of their having been
erected by human beings, the best
explanation being that they were
deposited by glaciers where they
stand. That the natives have
some legend to this effect is proven
by the fact that they call them

THE PREVENTION OF MINE
LITIGATION.

Senator Stewart has recently in,
troduoed a bill into Congress chang
ing the date for the completion o
assessment work, and the amour
for the short year. Ii the intention
be to propose bill which would
be of some real benefit to the min
ing industry, let the entire system
be altered to one following some
what the last Mexican law. Thus
in brief:
l. Location without discovery.
2. Official survey in plots of II
acres or less, In one piece of any
shape without conflicts.
3. Federal tax until patent OF
$50 per claim per year in lieu OF
assessment work the recorded re-
ceipt of the Land Office to carry
title, and failure to pay working
forfeiture.
4. Vertical boundaries and no
lateral rights.
/. Discovery. Most mining
claims, especially IN Leadyiile.
Aspen and Cripple Creek, have no
mineral IN place of any CONNER
cial value for mining purposes in
the discovery shafts. Yet when
one buys the oldest location in
such a case, the title is liable to
fail when brought to trial, The
laws and decisions IN the various
states and territories are not in
accord as to whether discovery
in the discovery shaft is required.
2. Survey.-An official survey
would make precise the position of
the claim, and insure compliance
with all the requirements of loca-
tion.
8. Assessment Work. 1T is ex-
tremely rare for the assessment
work to be of any real benefit in
the development OF claim; it is
usually wasted labor, The tax
would prevent the holding of large
blocks of claims by one person.
4. Lateral Rights. = With the
present laws and decisions it is
impossible to determine the owner
'hip and rights Of a piece of min
Dg property under the Federal
md State laws. Ii vigorously !
pushed the number OF trials, ap-
)eals and rehearings are nearly
Most suits end on
he exhaustion of one party, by an

without reference to the supposed

litigation it is not known what are
he lateral rights of claim where
he apex crosses a side and an end

broad inference drawn from the re-
cent decision by some competent
attorneys be finally held to be good
law.
Such law would stop 80 per
cent OF the litigation affecting the
industry In the west, and with
its enormous cost and paralyzing
delay, resulting in bitter hatreds
and unneighborly conduct in re-
gard to drainage, ventilation and
exchange of valuable information.
With diminishing prices for the
products of mining and increasing
difficulties on account of depth, low
grade and refractory ore, scarcity of
timber and available water, ETC.,
every unnecessary expense must be
cut off if the industry shall con
tinue, and the towns and farms
dependent upon it regain some
measure of their former prosperity.
And litigation is the most unnecs-
sessary expense of all. The title
would not then be dependent upon
the longest purse, tentative 1eci-
sions of the courts, the testimony
OF expert witness advocates, the
vagaries of socialist iaries, or the
crude impressions of their hasty
trip to the locality when unskilled
III the art of mining.
The present law is tainted with |
geology. giving rise to great diff
ference OF opinion in the course of
a trial. and has been the cause OF
bringing the profession of mining
engineering into disrepute among
the general public. With a law as
suggested, joint survey would
settle the boundry, and a reference
to the records, the ownership, in
most cases, without a suit. With
\ secure title one could sell at
fair price, and when buying, he
would know what he had bought;
again, the miner, il 80 inclined,
would have but little difficulty in
'aising money for development and
equipment where the technical
conditions justified the venture.
Che absence Of apex rights would !
end to distribute valuable territory {
mong many different owners. 4
The miners have hitherto been {
pposed to such u law, but it is i,
that great change has 4
AIKEN place in their sentiments. v
hey can hardly expect to agitate t
or it, and legislators must be .

gold mining in the far West:
tits the prettiest work | ever

OF it; when you have struck it
pretty rich and see your gold right
In front of you, when you are
piing it up every hour in the day,
with n nugget now aud then as
big as a bullet to cheer you, and
then, when evening comes You
count it up and you find it worth
hundreds of dollars, just picked
up out of the earth in one day-
well, | tell you there is nothing
like it. Then when you don't
strike it, you always think you are
going to the next day, and it is
just as exciting hearing other men
tell in the evening what they
pulled out during the day as in
counting your own. Why, | have
gone for months at time without
a dollar, and without

ment of the work don't give man
