NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

The Santa Fe railroad Is making arrangements to equip its cars with electric lights.
 The eastern smelters have positively denied the allegations of the ore pro- ducers, and, as a result, no satisfac- tory conclusion has been arrived at.
 George Blernal is reported to have bonded the Goldbug to William H. Cushing, now operating at Riverside on the Gila. The property joins the Trilby owned by George Monroe, east Of Wickenburg.
 Thomas Ewing, ths wealthy Pacific coast mining operator, has bonded the Shirt Tail mountain group of mines from Monahan & Murphy, Judge J. w. West, Frank Holmes, Stephen Be dell and others and now has fifteen men at work on them. The lJedges are big bodies of low grade ore with wonderfully rich stratas running through them.
 The Mohave Miner says. John Bar ry, the we'll known mining man and owner of the richest minlss in Huala- pal district, is in Kingman. MT. Bar ry is now engaged in sinking a two- compartment shaft on the Minnesota mine, within short distance of the Conner line. The shaft is now down 14O feet. When the 200 foot level is reached drifts will be run off north and south and an immense block of ground opened for stOping.

Shoals, Ind, forgotten by friends and enemies.
 Gen. Francis Canton, governor elect of Yucatan, Mexico, is a close friend of President Diaz, and is regarded as one of the most progressive and en- frightened men in Mexico. He served through the revolution of 1882, and was for several years engaged in fighting Magayo Indians, who, to this day, refuse to recognize the authority of President Diaz.
 When the late Dr. Walsham How became bishop of Wakefield, England, he dedicated s3,0O0 year, or a full fifth of his income, 'to God in char ity; i. e., in direct gifts and subscrip- tions." He also gave away the large sum he received for his books The greater part of his income was spent on his diocese, in travelling about entertaining the clergy.

Aspen, Colo, Dec. S.-It tranSpires that for the purpose of handling their low grade ores the MoIlie Gibson and gentum-Juniatal companies are ne gotiating for the purchase of Che old Holden lixivation plant. located on the banks of Castle Creek just west of the city If they succeed, a portion of the plant will immediately be fitted up as an up-to-date concentrator along the lines of the old Smuggler mill, with a capacity of 150 tons every twenty-four hours. 1t is also inti- mated that the lixivation plant will also be started up again and used ex- clusively for the treatment of the ores of these two properties. This exten- sive plant was erected in 1891 by the Holden Shielding and Milling company and cost $250,0O0. The buildings cov- CT 1900 square feet of territory. They contain 100000 feet of lumber and 100000 brick: The capacity of the mill is 125 tons per day "A sampling plant of the same capacity is located in the upper level of the mill, where the ore was unloaded from the railroad cars. The plant is supplied with for ty stamps. The motive power of the plant is two Pelton water wheels. The water is conveyed about a mile, partly by Hume, and about 2,O00 feet through steel pipe, twenty-six inches in diam eter. One wheel is eight feet in di ameter and is used for driving the machinery. The other is three fse. in diameter and was used for run7ing an Edison 250-light dynamo, which furnished light for the entire plant.
 Owing to the slump in silver, fol- lowing a period of great expense and loss in perfecting the process, since 1893 this magnificent plant, the larg est ever erected in the state west of the continental divide, has lain idle. The news that it is likely to resume operations is received with great sa- isfaction despite the fact that it is not the present intention of the Mollie Gibson and Argentum companies to handle custom ores. -.
 It has long been the fear of Aspen citizens that the plant would be sold and removed to some other point, but from present indications 1t is to re- main where it is and it is only a question of time when it will be run ming full blast again and giving em ployment to about 150 men.

TAX certificates of delinquency in
this county ought to be considered
good investments. 1t may be that
there is some real estate in the county
upon which taxes have been suffered
to become delinquent which is not
worth the amount charged against it;
that is the case in most counties and
while it is not contended that San
] uan is an exception in this respect,
the fact that our percentage of delin-
quency is among the smallest in the
state shows pretty conclusively that
there is very little property upon the
tax rolls that is not considered worth
the taxes. Certificates Of delinquency
bear interest at the rate of fifteen per
cent per annum and they shave the
same force and effect as a judgment
execution and sale Of and against the
premises included therein" The treas
urer is required to issue such certifi-
Gates to any person applying therefor
"any day after the taxes charged
against real property are delinquent
upon the payment of the taxes and in
terest, and fee of fifty cents for the
issuance of the certificate.

"majority of the electors voting there
on.u Section l of article % of the con-
stitution, relating to amendments,
provides that proclamation thereon
shall be made by the governor" bnt
we have no recollection that any such
proclamation has been issued in this
instance.
1t has been customary in some dis
tricts in this county at least, if not in
all, to allow persons who have declared
their intention of becoming citizens OF
the United States but have not yet re-
ceived their final citizenship papers, to
vote at school elections and the custom
seems to be clearly authorized by the
oath which the school law provides
shall be administered to- challenged
voters, as follows: "You do swear Tor af-
FIRM that you are a citizen OF the
United States, OR HAVE DECLARED
YOUR INTENTION TO BECOME SUCH;
that you are twenty-one years OF age,
according to your information and be-
lief, and that you have resided in this
district thirty days next preceding this
election, and in the state one year, and
that you have not voted before on this
day." 1t is the opinion Of we'll known
attorneys whom the editor has COLI
suited, as well as of the gentleman who
drafted most of the provisions Of the
new law, that any person who takes
this oath is clearly entitled to vote at
school elections, Notwithstanding the
apparent conflict with the constitution.

The Official Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY, JUNE 10Th, 1897.
TWO CURRENCY EXPERIMENTS.

The Kansas City Star notes that in
Peru and in Cuba financial conditions
exist which offer to economic students
an opportunity to learn something
from practical experience about the
influences which control the value OF
currency. In Peru both gold and
silver coins are used, but silver is the
actual standard of value, and the value
of gold fuctuates as the value of silver
rises or falls in the markets of the
world. The Peruvians consider de-
preciating currency a curse to the
nation, and in a vain effort to check
the decline in the value of their silver
money they have suspended its coin
age and prohibited It's importation, the
idea of the government being that a
fixed quantity of silver money in the
country can be maintained at fixed
value independent of the value Of sill
yer in the markets of the world. 1t is
square test of what is called the guam
titative theory of money, and will be
watched with interest, both by those
who believe the cumulative theory
involves an enfiexible law, and those
who believe it is but primary princi-
pie of monetary science which is so
modified by collateral influences in a
complex state of industry, as to be
wholly inapplicable in any practical
sense.
The English rulers of India learned
that it was beyond the power of man
to fix an arbitrary value to a standard
coin, Independent of its bullion value,
when they undertook to fix TIE value
of the Indian rupee at the time of the
suspension of silver coinage on private
account in the great empire of the
Rajahs. The rupee simply wouldn't
stay at the price fixed upon it, but set
tied down as the price of silver declined.
In Cuba the cumulative theory, as
applied to an irredeemable paper cur
rency, is undergoing test, and those
who are watching it are learning the
same lesson which has been taught by
the experiences of every other country
in the world which has ever had an
irredeemable paper currency. The les
son is that the value of such currency
depends in a remote degree on the
quantity in circulation, and is almost
wholly question of the probability of
the ultimate redemption of the cur
rency in coin. The feverish fluctua-
tions of the value of the paper money
in Cuba follow the ups and downs of
the Spanish efforts to suppress the in
surrectlon, and it may return to par
value, or may sink to utter worthless
ness without any change in the guam
titY in circulation.

ONE Of the most important decisions
yet rendered by the Supreme court is
that which declares the exemption
provision of the new revenue law I'M
constitutional. This is done despite
the fact that ever since the state gov
eminent was organized an exemption
of $500 on personal property has been
allowed, the question never having
been raised before. If that amount
were constitutional of course the new
amount of $1,000, or any other amount
that the legislature might fix, would
be also. If the assessments made on
the basis of the new law, or what was
supposed to be the law, are allowed to
stand, the general tax levy for state
and county purposes will be materially
lower than it otherwise would be. The
court holds, all the judges concurring,
that the exemptions which the legis-
iature sought to authorize are in con-
f1ict with sections l and of article 7 of
the constitution. The portion of Sec
ton considered in conflict is as fol-
lows: "All property in the state not
exempt under the laws of the United
States, or under this constitution, shall
be taxed in proportion to its value, to
be ascertained as provided by law"
Section 2 provides as follows: "The
legislature shall provide by law a uni
form and equal rate of assessment and
taxation on all property in the state,
according to its value in money, and
shall prescribe such regulations by gen
eral law as shall secure a just valua-
ton for taxation of all property, so that
every person and corporation shall pay
a tax in proportion to his, her or its
property: Provided, That deduction
of debts from credits may be author.
lied: Provided further, That the prop
erty of the United States, and of the
state, counties, school districts and
other municipal corporations, and such
other property as the legislature may
, by general laws provide, shall be ex-
empt from taxation.n
