They could have arrived at the end Of the
wait period years ago by pursuing dif.
ferent method in their development work,
and il is developed properties which claim
the attention of the mine investor.
Development work means the expendi-
ture OF much labor and means; what
would be accomplished in ten years by
two men, can be done In very short time
by progressive management. Every min.
ing district Of note and Importance has
been developed by cooperative methods,
stock companies and the like; the division
Of labor and expense are items of greatest
Importance. The original owners gener.
ally retain large interest and are factors
in the management Of the mines affairs,

Long Haired Men.

The native inhabitants of the Malay
peninsula and several OF the Indian
tribes of our own country never permit
their hair to be cut. The hair of one OF
the chiefs OF the Grow tribe grew to a
length of ten feet. The men OF the La
tookas, one OF the African tribes. never
cut their hair. but, allowing it to grow,
weave it into the most wonderful shapes.
The thick, crisp wool is woven with fine
Irvine made from the bark of tree until
it represents network of felt. As the
hair grows it is subjected to the same
process and trained into the shape OF a
helmet. A rim about two inches deep is
formed. and the front part of this hair
helmet is protected by a piece of polished
copper. while piece of the same metal,
shaped like the half of bishops inter
and about one foot in length, forms the
crest. The helmet is then adorned with
| numerous varcolored beads.

seeking profit on circulation under the
modified rate of taxation.
This increased price of bonds may
be such as to negative to some degree
the desired effect of an increased bank
note circulation, since it will tend to
lessen the profits on circulation. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
this objection can be made to any
method of increasing the apparent
profits on bank-note circulation. in
GLIDING the method of authorizing Isl
sues to par, subject to uniform tax.
The comptroller believes that from
the passage of laws altering, as sug-
gested, the rate and method of taxa
ton of national bank notes, an increase
of at least $100,0O0,000 may be reasona-
bly, expected.
Based upon our present bond secured
bank-note circulation, which amounts
to about 1907, 100000 and this added
amount, we would have, under such
laws, an available bond secured emer-
gency circulation of at least $50, 00O, 900.
Among other recommendations, the
comptroller strongly urges laws au-
thorizing the incorporation of banks for
the purpose of carrying on interna-
tional and intercolonial banking as dis
tinguished from domestic banking. He
also recommends laws authorizing the
establishment in small communities of
national banks with a capital OF s25,-
900.
He repeats his recommendation of
one year ago relative to modification
of the law restricting loans to any one
individual to 10 per cent of the capital
of national bank and advises the
attaching of penalty for making ex-
eessive loans after the present section
is modified.
He also gives in detail the results OF
an extended investigation of all the
different banking systems of the United
States during the last ten years.
