Mining Notes and Personals.

Roi Mayne is in from Mercur on mining
business.

eight cars of firSt-class ores.
Charlie MARYLAND of the Conklin samp-
ling works has returned from a business
trip to Denver.

and is all o. X.
viii Gray has returned from Silver City,
where he has been engaged in the re-
setting of the hoist at the Star Console
dated mine. and he states that now the
plant is working like a charm.
The Centennial Eureka is shipping
heavily and with pleasing regularity, two
carloads of ore being marketed yesterday
on assays showing values of 10 per cent
copper and well in gold and silver to the
ton.
Charlie Ford. who is putting up the
Overland mill, was in the city yester-
day. Mr.. Ford states that good progress
is being made in the erection of the plant
and that 1t will be daisy when com
pleted
1t is learned that Colonel Hebron has
made the first payment ON the South
Daisy. on the west dip, amounting TO
nearly s1Lc0O. and that he is pushing work
in the development of this promising
property.

listed as a regular shipper of a good
grade of ore.
A lot of cyanides from the Highland
Boy mill was received at the Consolidated

more than likely that this will be the last
consignment of cyanides to be made from

TAX ON STOCK SALES.
Will Depress Trading In Securities
of Small Value

Stock dealers in this city hardly
realize as yet the significance of the
proposed revenue bill, which, besides
imposing an individual tax on each
broker, also provides a ''rake-off'' on
all transactions, and this tax is so
heavy that dealings in small stocks will
be almost prohibited, as, in many in
stances, the tax will exceed in amount
the actual cash value of the stocks
dealt in.
The Denver Republican, in comment
ing on the effect of the proposed tax,
The new war revenue bill promises to
add quite seriously to the expense at
tendant upon transactions in mining
stocks, and brokers on the Denver
stock exchange are now engaged in
figuring up what they will have to pay
upon the daily sales of that institution.
The law provides for the payment of 5
cents upon each 800 of original issue
of stock and cents per 500 of each
sale or transfer of a certificate. This
is not a serious tax for one transaction,
as few original issues are now made,
but in the transactions of the exchange
it frequently happens that a certificate
changes hands several times during a
single day and each time that a change
of ownership is made the cents per
800 will have to be paid. Some brok
ers think that where several sales of
the same certificate are made payment
of the tax may be legally evaded by the
transfer from the first seller of the
certificate to the last purchaser,
the differences in price between
the two transactions to be set
tied between the brokers, but others
are of the opinion that inasmuch as the
books of the exchange record each
separate transaction, a stamp will have
to be affixed for each transfer. The
question involved is quite complicated,
and is a serious one to the exchange,
and may result in further legislation
with special reference to stock board
transactions.
1t is agreed on all sides that one i'm
portant effect of the law will be to,
check the sales of cheaper stocks. Very
many of these are selling for a fraction
of a cent per share-from 1 to mills
On the original issue of such stocks
there will be a tax of 80 cents per 900
shares of 81 each. In the case of stocks
selling from 81 to 81 per 1000 shares
this tax would prove an effectual bar
to trading, as they could not stand such
a tax in addition to the tax of 20 cents
per 81, 900 of face value for subsequent
transfers. This is not regarded by
most of the brokers as an unmixed
evil, as there is little of either profit or
in most transactions of this
character. Whatever may be the out
come of the application of the law to
stock transactions it is certain that
they will produce a. very considerable
revenue TO the government.

IN FROM GOLD MOUNTAIN.
Conditions Favorable In This Promis-
ing Southern District.

James Long, jr., of the Mammoth, or
Gold Mountain, who is in the city for
the purpose of attending the regular
annual stockholders meeting of the Sc
vier Gold Mining company, which con-
veneS today, states that everything has
a prosperous look in his district, and
that everything points to a prosperous
season this summer.
So far this year heavy snowfalls have
interfered with operations in Gold
Mountain district, but this difficulty
will now soon be a thing of the past.
and Mr. Long, while he has not done
much as yet this season in the opera
ton of the Mammoth, has been run
ming a ditch with which to convey a
head of water to a small turbine wheel,
whereWith to generate power for the
operation of a blower with which to
improve the air in the long tunnel. Mr..
Long brought in with him samples OF
quartz which are generously sprinkled
with the yellow metal in its native
state.

SPANISH COLLIER is TRAPPED
WAS TAKING COAL TO CERVE-
RA'S FLEET.
British Steamer Twickenham, With
$500 Tons of Coal, Captured By
the st. Louis-Spaniard In Charge.

New York, June 13.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Mole st. Nicholas,
Hayti, says: The ,merchantman cap
tured by the auxiliary cruiser st. Louis
just off 1Iorant Point Jamaica, last
Friday night, was the British steamer
Twickenham. On board the Twicken-
ham are 5000 tons of coal for the Span
ish fleet. She has been sent as a prize
to Key West.
The captured steamer is a London
vessel, which first went to Martinique,
expecting to effect a junction with Ad-
miral Cervera'S squadron at this island.
The fleet had departed before her ar
rival, and she was detained there as a
suspicious vessel by the French author
tiles.
Word was brought to Admiral Samp-
son that the Twickenham had left
Martinique on Wednesday. The St.
Louis was Immediately dispatched to
intercept her.
Friday night, the ST. Louis fell in with
the Twickenham. The armed liner
showed only the green and red lights
of merchantmen and the collier kept
right ahead on her northward course
toward Guantanamo, where she hoped
to be able to find some means of get
ting her coal to Admiral Cervera's
ships, in the harbor of Santiago.
Coming into close range, the st. Louis
surprised the collier by sending a shot
across her bows. The Twickenham, in
stead of stopping put on full steam and
tried to get away.
Quickly overhauling the Englishman.
the ST. Louis fired again. The captain
of the collier, seeing fight was impos-
sible, hove to and was boarded by a
boats crew from the ST. Louis.
The British captain at first made a
vigorous denial that he was carrying
coal for the Spanish fleet. His vessel
was searched, however, by the men
from the St. Louis. In the fire room a
man in overallS was found who spoke
only Spanish. After a vigorous cross
examination by Captain Goodrich of
the ST. Louis, this man admitted that
he was Spanish officer in charge of
the cargo. On the approach of the st.
Louis, he had thrown his papers and
commission overheard. He appeared
to be badly scared at the way things
had turned out. He was sent as pris-
oner Of war to Key West on board the
captured steamer

MERcUR MAKES ADVANCES.
Geyser- Marion, Chloride Point and
South Swansea Sustain Losses.

Yesterdays business transactions on
the floor of the mining exchange footed
up into big money and the market was
active for the first day of the week,
the demand being very largely for divi-
dend paying and good investment
stocks, the bears having the best of the
day, everything considered
In the listed securities Mercur and
Mammoth were able to chronicle ad-
vances, the former making sales as
high as 1920, which is quite an advance
over the closing quotations of Saturday
last, while Mammoth was on the up
grade and sold readily at S1.S0 Gey-
Marion was rather week and re-
corded one transfer at 10 cents. North
ern Light was able to sustain former
figures in fairly good shape and was
firm at Az cents, at which quotation
1,500 found a buyer. Sacramento was
stationary and virtually inactive, 100
shares changing hands at sc cents.
In the unlisted stocks Grand Central
established a new quotation and was
in earnest demand in the bidding at
1925, with offerings at $3.50. Swansea
was in good form, but its near neigh
Dor, South Swansea, sustained losses
and sold down to S1.22A. Chloride Point
also suffered from a. bear attack, and,
starting out with sales at 81 cents, the
stock closed with transfers at 49, Co
lumbia drew out a bid of 10 cents, be-
ing offered at 80. Sunbeam was
stronger while Buckeye changed hands
at a nominal figure.
The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

TARIFF FOR THE PHILIPPINES
SPANISH RATES THAT WILL BE
CONTINUED.
American Exporters Will Be Required
to Pay the Same as others-Ex-
port Tax to Be Abolished.

New York, June ia special to the
Times from Washington says: The
decision of the administration to con-
force in the Philippines while they are
under the military ggoyernorship of
General Wesley Merritt, has not been
announced officially, but, as stated be-
| fore in these dispatches, the course has
| been practically decided on and the
customs authorities are acting on that
| idea. The publication Of the fact has
brought a number of inquiries to the
| treasury department as to what the
present tariff duties are in the Philip
pines, many of these queries coming
| from persons who are already looking
to the islands as a possible market for
goods. "a
The latest Spanish tariff went into
effect in the Philippines through the
action of a royal decree. on April 1,
1891. The treasury department is in
possession of the provisions of this de-
cree, with the various notifications
| made to it, the latest being dated
October, 1897, and 2 bringing the
schedules up to date.
Following are some of the articles of
the Philippines tariff as it will in all
probability be enforced under General
