A Sad Incident of Mar.

The New York Tribune relates this
Incident: The prest-grand-daught
Of Daniel Boone was saved from being
cast into the streets yesterday. Miss
Grace Boone is the daughter of Anna
Boyle Boone. the authoress, and has a
brother in the volunteer army. He
was her sole means of support. She
had been endeavoring to secure work,
even of q mental sort, but was unsuc-
cessful. She was unable to pay her
room rent of S1.25 and would have
been dispossessed had not her case
been made known to the society that
looks after those deprived of support
by the war. When rescued she was
almost starved. And she is only one
among the many similarly situated in
this great center of sunshine and
shadow

Death In Battle.

Edward Marshall. the New York

"Recollections" for the September

tracts are made:

down like clods in the grass. 1t seems
to me that the terrible thud with

penetrating than the sound fthe guns.
Some ere only wounded: some were
dead.
There is much that is awe-inspir-
ing about the death of soldiers on the
battlefield. Almost all of us have
seen men aod women die, but they
have died in their carefully arranged
beds, with doctors daintily boarding
the iickering spark: with loved ones
clustered about. But death from dis
ease is less awful than death from bull
lets. On the battlefield there are no
delicate scientific problems of strange
microbes to be solved. There is no
petit ng no coddling-nothing, nothing,
nothing but death. The man lives,
he is strong, he is vital, every muscle
in him is at its fullest tension, when,

How to Learn Spanish.

Many people became discouraged in
the study of Spanish on account of the
wrong method by which they attempt
to learn this language.
If you can not devote much time to
study, but wish to talk enough to make
yourself understood in your business
you must not study the Spanish
grammar.
We must learn a language in the
same way that foreigners who came to
this country learn English; that is by
learning phrases and constructing new
phrases with the elements of the ones
already learned.
The study of the grammar should
begin when the pupil can think in
Spanish" A well educated Mexican
has said: Grammar is an empty
mould of the thought

From every county 10 the Territory
comes information that the attempts
to sell delinquent property for taxes
this year is regarded as useless. Some
of the counties taking early recogni-
tion of the situation have ordered
publication of the delinquent tax list
as under the original law with the no.
tice contemplated by the amended
law. The experiment OF attempting
to "cinch" the newspapers OF the Ter
ritory because they were necessarily
paid for publishing the long aoVertlse-
ments necessitated by the delinquent
list will be an expensive experiment.

Taxing Bullion.

The question of bullion tax is be-
ing agitated pro and con by the Terri
torial press, but it is noticeable fact
that those papers favoring the meas
lure are, without exception, in nom
mineral localities. While as an alb
stract proposition the product of a
mine is no more entitled to exemption
from tax than the product of any other
enterprise, yet it is wTGGiil-known fact
that, with very few exceptions, more
money is being put into the ground
than is being taken out. In Yavap2l
county, aside from the Congress, Je-
rome, Grown King, and, perhaps, two
or three others, the bullion produced
d oes not pay the expenses of develop
ment. This does not insinuate that
the mines are worthless, but rather
that vast amounts of money, time and
anxiety are expended before a mine is
placed on a paying basis. To tax the
output of such property would only
add to the ditticulty-already great
enough of inducing capital to develop
] the mineral resources Of the Territory,
and would be manifestly unjust. Sup
pose the agricultural and stock papers
allow the miners voice in the bullion
taken.-Pick and Drill
The papers in the "cow counties" or
the shay seed counties" have no de-
sire to muzzle the press of the mineral
bearing section of the territory The
iustness or unjustness of a bullion tax
is open for discussion. The Pick and
Drill, or any other newspaper publish
ed in the mining districts have the
privilege of expressing their views on
the subject. There are no strings on
them.
The MAIL is perfectly aware that it
costs considerable to develop some
mines. It is also we'll acquainted with
the fact that mine once placed on a
paying basis is one of the best paying
investments man can make AS a
rule they yield larger returns on the
capital invested than any other legiti-
mate business. The writer knows of
an instance in Amador county, Callfor.

was the recent attack made by Brann

daughters attending the university, he

a few words and began shooting. Be-

why the owner should not pay rea-
sonable tax on the property. If the
claim pays the cost of working, the
prospector at once places value on it
ranging from $4,000 to 100000, accord
ing to the prospect.
1t is entirely different with us ebay
seeds" We take up, or purchase,
piece Of land and commence improv-
ing it. Build house, barn, other nec-
essary outbuildings and fence it. The
assessor comes along before we have
had time to raise a crop, and places an
enhanced value on the land because of
the improvements, then assesses the
improvements which have been placed
on it beside Not only this, but as the
farmer continues to improve his pos
sessions, the valuation is increased,
either by the assessor or the County
Board of Equalization, whether the in
vestment pays or not-whether he
raises a crop or has total failure.
Why should one industry hold this ed-
vantage over another? Isn't the agrl-
culturist as necessary in building up
and developing the resources of the
territory as the miner? Gould mining
be successfully prosecuted in the ter
ritory if the farmers, stockraisers and
horticulturist were removed from it?
No, is the only logical answer. Then
whys in the name of justice, should
they be made bear the brunt of the
expenses of the government which pro-
tects all alike? Our mechanics, who
make their living by days labor, are
assessed On their tools. The merchant
is taxed on his stock of goods. The
lawyer on his library. The physician
on his instruments. Everybody, but
the miner, must pay taxes on every
thing he possesses. Even the prospec-
tor is not exempt, but is taxed on his
burro and roll of blankets.
We submit to the Pick and Drill, or
any other fair-minded, just person,
whether this is right? Why should
one industry escape taxation, while
all others are taxed, whether they are
making more than expenses or not?
Is there any justice in such discrimi-
nation? Is it right as between man
and man? Isn't it contrary to the fun
damental principles of a republican
form of government? Let us send men
to our next legislature who will enact
just and equitable revenue laws.
The farmers, stockraisers, merchants,
professional men and laborers, ask for
nothing more than justice. They are
perfectly willing to pay their proper
ton of the expenses of the govern
ment under which they live; but they
want and will insist, that all business
enterprises, whether individual or cor
porate, be made pay theirs. Justice is
what they demand-nothing more,
nothing less.
