MINES AND MINING NOTES
WAR STAMPS MAKE TROUBLE.
The Revenue Law Is Driving Amer
lean Companies Over the british
Line-Resupsing Work On an Old
Montana Mine-Mining Briefs.

| One effect of the war revenue stamp
will be to drive some Spokane companies
owning properties in British Columbia
to disincorportte here and reorganize on
the other side OF the line, where condi.
tions are more favorable They levy of :
cents for 800 of the face value does not
appear to be a heavy one on transfers
of stock but it becomes annoyingly heavy
when the volume of business runs well
up into the thousands of shares.
The Novelty Gold Mining Company is
n Spokane corporation owning the Nov
city fractional claim, lying between the
Giant and Gertrude on Red mountain,
Rossland. The company is Incorporated
for 100000 shares. 1t is deemed neces
sary by the stockholders at this time to
increase the capitalization in order to
provide treasury stock to be sold for de-
velopment purposes. The revenue law
would prove quite a tax, and so the COM
pany will abandon Spokane and reorgan-
ize in British Columbia. A meeting of
the stockholders will be called to assem-
BILE in Spokane in August to arrange to
rcincorporate with l,5O0,0O0 shares with
paf value of 10 cents, 100000 shares to
go into the treasury. The reduced par
value is made necessary by bothersome
British Columbia law which makes the
license and registration fees heavy for
companies with large capital stock. The
plan is to give each holder of the stock
| in the present company share for share.

ciOn Winx Shot,


KANSAS CITY, May al. A. r. Elliott
of Kansas City won the wing shot cham
pionship of America today and incidentally
became the permanent possessor of the
Kansas City Star cup.
The championship race between the five
era cks who have at diffrent times held the
cup was the feature of the closing day of
the Missouri shooting tournament. This
race for the permanent possession of the
trophy was close and exciting.
j. Il. Riley of Kansas City was the first
of the contestants to miss. His sixth bird
fell dead out of bounds, but he finished
with a total score of twenty-four.
Sim Glover of Rochester. N. Y, saw his
seventeenth bird fall dead out of bounds
and his eighteenth bird was clean miss.
His total score of twenty-three was the
lowest of the five.
Charles W. Budd of Des Moines, Ia, lost
his twenty-second bird which fell dead out
of bounds, and Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake,
Ia, had the same misfortune with his
twenty-third.
Elliott, though he drew perhaps the
hardest lot of birds, won the championship
with a clean score of twenty-five.
posing of the second money. Budd went
out on his first bird, Gilbert missed his
eighth and Riley, by killing his ninth, took
the purse.
The closing event of the meeting was a
live bird match. Elliott, Parker. Gilbert,

THURSDAY a number of cattle men from Calabasas were in Noga- les, and they expressed no little in- dignation at what they believe a move by interested parties to trick the cattle sanitary board into re- moving the present very efficient live stock inspector, Mir. w. H. Walker, and supplant him with the same man he relieved short time ago. MT. Walker is in every way satisfactory to the people of the dis trict, does his work well and is a good republican. It is said that petition in favor of Wise was circu- lated which many were induced to sign under misapprehension, and was forwardee to the board We'd nesday evening. Thursday decided action was taken by the cattlemen in the vicinity opposed to any change, and the board was wired request to refrain from action until the matter can be presented to that body ill the proper light It is be hoped the board will not act with out full information.

The Bisbee Orb, which never was an advocate of the appointment of Governor McCord, and is also a a democratic paper, has the follow ing to say:
 "Some of the territorial papers are raising various kicks against Governor McCord. We see no reason for this, and in the end it will be of great damage to the ter ritory. If the authorities at Wash ington see that we cannot be satis- fled with governor of our own territory, they will hereafter appoint men from Ohio or other eastern states. As it is now we have man in power who knows the wants of the territory and is doing his ut most toward advancing the terri tory's interests. It would be well for these disgruntled publishers to take tumble to themselves.

Its success in that field will cause no little ex- pectancy in the mining world until it is tried on a grand scale in other branches of mining.

THE OASIS has heard it said that some two weeks ago the Citizen as- serted that more money had been expended by Pima county on roads in the southern part than those pre- cincts had contributed to the county road fund. In making that asser- ton the Citizen was certainly mis- informed, for its widely at variance with the facts. Nogales alone pays about twelve hundred dollars an- nually into the road fund. Not one-half that sum is expended on roads in the district.

CAPTAIN RAY of the regular army, sent to Klondike to investi- gate the outlook, has recommended that immigration to that country be restricted this year, and that no one be permitted to enter the country without two years supplies. It is a great country to prospect where all prospectors must provide a two years grubstake. A goodly sized mule train would be required to pack it all.

MANY American newspapers seem much exercised because Can ada is about to levy a special and burdensome tax upon foreign min CTS on the Klondike. But even that would be better than the United States does. Here the foreign miner is shut out entirely. Whose OK is gored makes a very great difference.
