TAXATION OF CITY BONDS.
Equivalent to Discrimination Against
Local Capital.

San Francisco, Sept. 16.-The second
days session of the California Bank
ers' association was we'll attended,
only one or two absentees being noted.
The principal subject under discussion
was the exemption of city bonds from
taxation. Lowell White of the San
Francisco Savings Union read a COM
prehensive paper and led the &rgu-
ment. Mr.. White said in part:
THE taxation of public securities is
a discrimination against local capital,
as the foreign bondholder receives the
stipulated rate of interest without
abatement, while the local one must
content himself with two-thirds or
three-fourthS of that rate Why the
state of California should discriminate
in favor of resident of Boston or New
York against its own citizens is a
question that a professional politician
alone can answer"
Other financiers spoke on the same
lines with Mr.. White. The subject of
a uniform law of negotiable instru-
ments was introduced by James A
Thompson and a letter was read from
the national association, stating that
there was every indication that many
states would soon adopt the law pro-
posed by the association. The subject
was not discussed at length, it being
the general opinion that such a law
would soon be in vogue.
The association reelected it's in
cumbent board of officers

Accordin to promise the Annie Lau-
RE of Gold Mountain, has appeared in
the market with its initial shipment
of ore from the new strike in this prop
erty, and B. T.. Caffey. secretary OF the
Bald MountaiGl Mining and Milling
company, the o wner of this embryotic
bonanza, is higl lly elated over the re-
turns received for the shipment, the
nine and a hall onS being sold on con-
troll assays show ing metallic values OF
80 ounces silver and 6.9S ounces or
nearly ounces in gold to the ton, the
shipment selling for S1,S3S.2S.
Flated over the results of this trial
shipment It is now the intention of the
management to put force OF eight
men at work at once in the continued
operation of The property, in the work
ings of which there is a showing of
ore which surely should make Monte
Cristos of the principal stockholders
of the company in due course of time,
and The Herald is informed that it is
the intention to make shipment OF
this high grade rock at least once a
week during the coming winter, regu-
lar consignments to begin as soon a.;
the new wagon road from the mine TO
the railroad is completed, which will
be done, in ali probability, within a
month OF two, and in the meantime
work will be actively pushed IN the de-
velopment of the mine, in which a
mammoth breast of ore has been IN
covered and explored until there is no
further doubt as to the permanency
and continuity of the deposit.
Besides its shipping ore the company
has a large amount of milling ore in
sight and at the present time there is
stored on the dump a thousand tons
which will average $14 to the ton, and
as the property is equipped with a
small mill which only needs a little
oveThauling to make it serviceable, it
is more than likely that in course of
time this low grade stuff will be han
died ard treated on the ground at a
handsome profit.
Gold Mountain district is one of the
coming great gold camps of the state
and it is a nine days wonder that the
leading mining men of the state are so
apathetic regarding its marvellous min
eral wealth, which only needs the
quickening influence of labor and
money to be added to the channels OF
commerce and trade in this western
country.
Men have gone wild over Klondike,
but they fail to realize the fact that
at home nature has buried treasures
greater in value and more available
than all the gold that will ever come
out of the frozen north.

Managua, Nicaragua, Sept 1O.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press.)-
The constitution forming delegates
from Salvador, Honduras and Nicara-
qua, in their attempt to formulate a
compact acceptable to these three
states have separated into distinct
groups on the question of the article
authorizing the government organized

duties. The delegates from Salvador
declare that the imports and exports
of their country exceed those of Hon
duraS and Nicaragua combined, al
though Salvador has less than one
fourth the area of either of the other
states, and consequently, that the bur-
den of taxation will, under the pro-
posed articles, have to be borne by
Salvador, which unequal mode of tax
alton she declines to assume.
One of the delegates from Honduras
proposed as substitute that each
state contribute it's proper pro rata OF
the necessary expenses of the fedora
ton. Already two of the prominent
members of the constitutional conven-
ton from Salvador have resigned.

DEMOCRATIC BOLT IN DAVIS
DON'T LIKE THE CANDIDATE
FOR LEGISLATURE.
Boilers Make Overtures to the Re
publicans, But They Cannot Agree
Upon the Division of the Offices.

Pennington, Sept. 16.-An effort is
being made to bring about co-opera-
ton between Republicans and dissatis-
fled Democrats in Davis county, with
the purpose in view of putting =, fus-
ion ticket in the field against the DEM
ocratic ticket that was nominated last
week. A meeting of the Republican
county committee was held in the court
house here yesterday, and, by what is
supposed to be a Encouragement, a
number of Bountiful Democrats, who
have openly bolted part of the Demo-
cratic ticket, because John Fisher of
Bountiful received the nomination for
representative, were present at the
meeting. Some members of the Repub-
lican committee who were seen today
refused positively to divulge the Sc
crets of the conference, but it was
learned from an authentic source that
the cooperation plan did not originate
with the Republicans. The proposition
came from Bountiful men, and they
expressed a determination to beat
Fisher at any costs. Their plan was
to nominate a citizen or Independent
ticket on the fusion idea, with ]. H.
Grant as the nominee for representa-
tive. Grant was, Mr.. Fishers oppo-
nent for the place on the Democratic
lieve, he could win at the polls if the
Republicans would agree to hoist him
at the head of fusion ticket. But
there's the rub The Republicans did
not bite greedily at the fusion bait, and
if they could be induced to cooperate
at all it would only be on the condi-
ton that the head of the county ticket
should be named by them. Thus the
Republican committee and the fusion
lists are far apart, each demanding the
heal of the ticket and neither willing
to recede.
The Republican committee is said to
be opposed to citizens or independ-
ent ticket, because if there is no Re-
publican ticket it will weaken their
chances in future elections. 1t is prob
able that another meeting will be held
soon, but in the meantime the coalition
scheme does not seem to be popular
1t is learned tonight that after the
plan of cooperation had been dis
cussed at So1ne length the Republicans
withdrew from the conference and held
a caucus, returning shortly with a
proposition to give the Democratic fus-
ionists the following places on the
ticket: County clerk, treasurer, two
commissioners and surveyor If this
plan is accepted the Democrats are ex-
pected to hold a convention on the
same day as the Republicans, and
make nominations for the respective
offices, and then unite the tickets. This
was not agreed upon, but the Bounti-
full people went home to sleep on the
question. 1t didn't suit them, and the
chances are that more concessions will
have to be made

HIS GUN WENT OFF.
Provo Man Accidentally Shot
Through the Leg.

Provo, Sept. 16.-Last night, at about
1 o'clock, Fred Kirkwook shot himself
in the right leg, and as result will be
in bed for the next week. He worked
night shift at the Log Cabin saloon,
and when he closed I'D he put his 3S-
caliber revolver in his pants pocket,
as he carried the cash receipts for the
day. When he was at the corner of
Seventh and F streets he put his hand
in his pocket, with the intention OF
changing his pistol to his coat pocket,
when it got entangled in his handker-
chief and exploded. The bullet entered
the leg near the thigh and plowed its
way for over two feet down through
the center of his leg, and lodged in
the calf The explosion set his clothes
on fire, but, fortunately, he had pres
ence of mind enough to sit down in
nearby ditch, which was full of water.
Today, at y. M, the bullet was ex-
tracted, and found to have traversed
from the thigh to the calf of the leg
without injuring bone.

dose for some Democrats here to swal-
low, but the Democracy of Cache coun-
ty has never been known to desert a
party candidate, and the nominee this
year will be loyalty supported. Baskin
is acce0table to those of the Demo-
Gratis here who know him, and will re-
ceive the undivided support of the
party. The nominee for congress may
lose a few of the radical votes. but he
will draw heavily from the Republicans
to Offset this.

away with them. The entrance was
