The subject of the taxation of the net
profits OF mining companies in Utah is
forcing itself quite forcibly on the man
agement of mining companies just now,
and there are those who are consider
ing whether to pay it, or to fight; but,
whatever they do, it is almost the unan-
imous opinion that the tax is unjust,
and unwise legislation. as, in fact, it is,
in some instances, a double tax, mas
much as the person who participates in
the net profits OF mining company in
the shape of dividends, is later on COM

As it is, it is an injury and al in

HENRY GEORGE LAID TO REST
NO TRACE OF MoURNING vIsI
BILE AT HOME.
Carried Out the Dead Mans Wish
Closing Services by Drs. Kramer
and McGlynn-Simple Services.

New York, Nov AFTER a simple
and short funeral service, the body Of
Henry George. was finally laid to rest
in Greenwood cemetery today. Only a
few persons We're present at the
family residence The ceremonies to-
day were the antithesis of yesterday.
In the home overlooking the narrow
street where Mr.. George had lived and
worked there was no trace of mourn
ing. In compliance with the express
wishes of the dead man, every trace Of
mourning had been removed from the
house
Rev. DR.. Kramer Of Bath Beach
conducted the funeral service. After
'eading part of the Episcopal service
DR.. Kramer paid a touching tribute to
Nh George. He alluded to the fact
hat today was All Saints day and
therefore q fitting occasion to commit
The remains of Henry George, one OF
The Latter Day Christians. to his
grave. DR.. Kramer testified to the
personal religion of Mr.. George. The
power of religion in social problems
was listened to by man who was
.all1ing to Mr.. George. With flashing
eye Mr. George replied: If religion
be nothing, be nothing than you think
it to be, our cause is lost; because IN
less there is reality in religion and We
can appeal through it to humanity, we
shall never get back Gods land for
Sod's poor children.
After the Lords prayer had been
said by ell, Rev. DR.. McGlynn also
paid a personal tribute to the de-
parted. He said it seemed as though
hey were standing by the triumphant
car of some Roman hero rather than
by the bier of a dead philosopher, and
ended by declaring that Henry George
and the cause he espoused were more
alive than ever today in the hearts of
democracy
For about ten minutes after the con-
clusion of the exercises opportunity
was offered in the house TO take last
look at the body in the coffin. Just
after II the coffin WAS closed, taken
out into the rain, and placed in the
hearsc. Only members of the family
and intimate friends accompanied the
remains to the cemetery. The serv-
ices at the grave We're very short, be-
ing simply the burial service of the
Episcopal church. Besides the family
of Mr.. George there were present about
200 people, The grave, which is stu
ated on a bluff in beautiful part of
Greenwood, is quite close to the tomb
of Henry Ward Beecher. Near at hand
IS also the grave of Mrs. Benjamin F.

most delightful time.
The Winnenluck, at Bingham, made
record last month of $50 tons of good
ore marketed and it is expected that
for the month of November the output
of the mine will be as large, if not
larger. c. w. Watson, who is now in
charge of this famous old property,
states that it is looking well and he
intimates that the property has a sur
prise in store for the public at an early
date.
J. ]. Trenam, vice president and
manager of the Ben Harrison Mining
company, has just returned from the
east. where he has been on business
for the company, and last night he left
for Beaver Lake district for the pur-
pose of directing developments now in
progress at the mine. Upon his return,
it is expected he will be the bearer of
good news regarding this promising
property.
Sam Pollock writes from the Her
cules, on Lion Hill, that the face of
the tunnel being driven in the property
is in fossilized lime, filled with string
ers of red iron. With mining men who
are acquainted with the formation of
that section. this is considered as an
excellent Indication. Should the Her.
cules strike it rich, and the prospects
for doing so are bright, indeed, Lion
Hill will have a great boom during the
coming year.

a visit to Santaquin canyon, in Utah

He also states that during his visit to
the district he learned of the sale of

of the buyer to join with the other

Eureka, Nov. Mr.. Harry S. Joseph
is out from Salt Lake on tour of
inspection of the Lower Mammoth, of
which he is manager. The machinery
is now almost ready for use and the
development work on this magnificent
property Will soon be commenced in
real earnest. Mr. Joseph has in his
possession a sample from the Lower
Mammoth which assays $50 ounces in
silver and from $40 to SIS in gold
which is truly a wonder from so young
a prospect.
The extent of the ledge from which
this sample was taken cannot as yet
be ascertained, but the Lower Mann
moth company is satisfied that upon
further development a good body of
such ore will be disclosed.
The Lower Mammoth is destined to
be a great mine in the near future and
will he a valuable addition to Tintics

mine, near that place, says:
The ore vein struck in the cross cut
drift of the 600-foot level of the Con.
Virginia mine, an extension south of
the Virtue mine. is four feet wide, is
vertical and the ore is fine looking. The
work of drifting on the ledge is now
going on.
The finding OF this ledge, which is be-
yond question the Virtue vein, sets at
rest any further speculation as to the
success of the work that has been car
ried on at the Con. Virginia for the
past year, and it can safely Ls said
that the promoters of this mining en-
terprise Messrs. David Keith and
Thomas McEwen, have been rewarded
for their pluck and sagacity. a large
amount of money has been expended
to do What has been accomplished and
a fortune in the Con. Virginia awaits
its owners and Will be realized as soon
as mill facilities can make it a pro-
Queer.
The Democrat also says: Mr.. John
Nass, superintendent of both La Belle
vue and Con. Virginia mines, arrived
in the city yesterday on his return from
a visit to the former property, which is
situated in the Granite district and is
being operated by Messrs. David
Keith and Jacob Bamberger the well
known Salt Lake City mining men,
they having purchased the property a
short time since from Mr.. j. H. Parker,
vice president of the First National
Bank of this city.
Mr.. Nass gave the Democrat reporter
the information that just before he left
the La Bellevue a connection had been
made in the tunnel from the north side
of Cahell mountain and that there was
a continuous tunnel through the noun
tain for a distance of 5000 feet and on
the ledge, and that now the ledge is eX-
posed for a distance of 4,500 feet.
The amount of development work on
the property is about 5000 feet and a
better aired mine is nowhere to be
found. When the connection was made
and now, there is a current of air pass
ing through the tunnels, upraises and
drifts that will take off mans hat.
Mr.. Vass is more than pleased with
the showing made by the La Bellevue
and he has a right to be, for it is due
to his capable management that the
mine is developed in such a first-class
manner.
While at Granite Mr.. Vass visited the
Belcher group of mines on Quartz
gulch. under the management of Mr.
Joseph Barton, formerly superintendent
of the S. V R. R. Mr. Vass says that
the Belcher is making a fine showing
and that Mr. Barton is displaying very
practical mine management in it's OPP
Grafton
Mr.. Vass is of the opinion that Mr.
Barton will make a great success with
the Belcher, and further says that the
Quartz gulch district is one of the best
districts in the county.
