The treasury receipts this month will
average nearly one million dollars per
day for each business day Of the month.
All of this is accomplished under the
Dingley law, and without any material
revenue from the duty on sugar, as the
importers are now using up their large
stock of that article which was imported
before the new law went into effect. II
is estimated that the revenue from the
duty on sugar, when the present stock
is exhausted, will average $4,000 900 a
month, which Of itself will be sufficient
to bring the revenue up to sum equal
to the ordinary expenditures of the
government. With the increase which

wool, woolen goods. and other manu-
factures. with which the country had
been filled, it is now perfectly apparent
that the revenue produced under this
law will be ample.

that the mere fact of failing to turn over

For twelve years the attractive little

ing in fame and prestige, yet the thir-
teenth edition which has Just been

The arrangement ofthe 1898 calendar is

The arrangements of dates is such that

The Proposed New Mining Law.

The committee appointed at the Min
ing Congress has prepared bill EN-.
oodying its ideas about needed changes
In the mining law. It's second section
names large number Of minerals which
may be located under the law. We see
no reason for naming any. All nature
is DIVIDED into animal, mineral and
vegetable kingdoms, we do not know
what 1t is. Where an attempt is made
10 name the minerals to which it is ap-
plicable, all not 80 named would be
excluded from location under the min
ing law. Those who know the rulings
OF the land Office and courts on this
point, and the defect in the present law
In this respect, can appreciate the danger
Of emitting something.
1t provides in the third section that
after December 81, 1898, all claims there.
after located shall be bounded by verti-
cal side lines. This is the provision
which wipes out the abominable apex
law, and will be generally popular.
The fourth section makes the size or
claim 40 acres, and provides that it
may be in any shape, SO that its width
in the narrowest place shall not be less
than 300 feet. This would give one a
claim one mile long and $50 feet wide,
If he saw fit to locate in that form.
The eighth section refers TO the man.
ner of securing title. Notices must be
posted and monuments erected as at
present; mineral veins, placers or other
deposits must be discovered
within 80 days Of the date of posting
the notice; copies Of notice and proof
OF mineral discovery must be deposited
with the surveyor general within 90
days from the posting Of notice, together
with proof Of the deposit of $50. which
IS to be an addition to the appropriation
Tor making surveys, in some United
states depository; within five years
rom the approval Of survey, the claim
int shall make proof Of the performance
of $500 worth Of work upon said claim,
payment Of s. per acre for lode and
200 per acre for placer claims, the
claimant shall be entitled to a patent.
Section nine provides for the right Of
assignment Of claim after the making
of survey.
Section ten provides that failure TO
make application for survey and proof
Of mineral discovery within 90 davs
rom the posting Of a notice shall work

Section eleven provides for forfeit |
