The initial meeting Of the International

closed Saturday. has been . success on

new legislation Of importance 10 the min.

report Of the committee on revision OF
mining laws, which contemplated
lutiopizing the whole system of mineral
land location in the interest Of capital
lied combinations and to the disadvsn-
tase of the poor miner and prospecsor.
The mining congress was largely made
up Of representative mining men from all
parts Of the country end many from
abroad, numbering in all about l,4O0
delegates, and any recommendations
made by it to the Federal Congress at
Washington must reasonably carry much
weight.
Il passed a resolution requesting Con-
gress to create . Department OF Mines
and Mining to foster the industry
throughout the Union, basing the request
on the representation that the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture has been of incslcu-
liable benefit to the farming interests and
that 3 similar result may be expected 10

mining that adds about $3.50. 900. 900 an

REVENUE REQ

The following is taken from an article
in the San Francisco Call on the revenue
law
Deeds, c~onveyances and other docu.
nents relating 10 the transfer Of real es-
tate are not worth the paper they . written
on unless the stamps required by the war
revenue act are affixed. Such is the opin-
ion Of competent lawyers who have looked
into the matter, and they are advising
their clients not to neglect afsxing the
stamps and 10 state in such papers the real
consideration involved in the transaction.
The only thing like an official opinion
that has yet been given in the matter is an
informal one by United States Attorney
Henry 8. FOose. 1t was in reply to q query
by G. P. Owen, recorder OF Santa CLARA
county. Mr.. Owen wired TO Judge Foote
the following: consideration in q deed
$40; known value Of property $1,000.
Parties refuse to pay tax on value, clsim-
ing the law says consideration What
shall / do-refuse the document"
Judge Foose replied by letter TO the ef-
feet that the amount Of the stamp 70 be
affixed ON the deed must be the real ''con-
siderssion Of value" of the property con.
veyed. on the basis Of the law under the
head Of conveyance.
Internal Revenue Collector Lynch said:
"Under the War Revenue Act 9 man has
no more right 10 understate the value Of
the property in q deed than be would have
10 give q wrong statement as to proof
spirits. In all cases Of violation Of rev.
enue the United States interprsss the Law
