BY the Territorial Naturalization in the
Matter OF Railway Valuations.
There is considerable bad feeling all
over the territory among the taxpayers
about what they denounce as The in.
equalihes OF the valuation of property
for taxation purposes and the favor
itism shown 70 corporations. How
much Justification there is for this
complaint, as we'll MS upon whose
shoulders the blame should rest, we
viii let those more deeply concerned
determine, and confine our remarks 20
such facts and statistics relating 10 the
subject as are obtainable
First, 1t is the general policy in pro-
viding the necessary revenues to run
the government not 10 assess any prop
eEty ut its actual cash value, but at
some fixed basis OF valuation under
that, which will furnish the necessary
revenue required, and then apportion
II so as TO equalize the burden upon all
the property of every kind and charac-
ter in the territory. This is the spirit
of the law, but that 1t is always fairly
and justly executed no man OF ordi-
, nary Intelligence would for a moment
assert 10 be true. Farm property aud
town lots rarely escape paying their
full value of taxation. simply because
there is less difficulty in fixing their
values. TIE whole neighborhood and
every man, woman and child knows,
or think they know, exactly what they
are worth, and in forty-nine cases out
of every fifty the assessor has never
seen the farm or town lot, but sits In
his Office, the rent of which is paid by
the people whose property he assumes
to tax, and by whom he is paid his
salary TO honestly and faithfully per
form his dqty--a thing he never does.
The railroad property of this terri
tory is not honestly assessed in accord
ance with the law, and never has been.
The same can be said Of the telegraph
lines and certain otner franchises.
What is the value per mile of the sew
ersl railroad lines in Oklahoma. and
how much money per mile is invested
in them? Let us see. The steel rails
cost per ton S3s. IL takes 1872 tons of
these rails to lay a mile of track,
total per mile of SIS ole. 1t takes 2, GAO
ties TO tie mile of track These laid
on bne ahck IeduY LOT Jne cars 10 run
over cost not less than so cents each,
or total per m,ie of 81 800. Thore
are "a acres of ground per mile in the
right of way. which, valued at $40 per
acre, is S240. Grading the roadbed,
two-thirds dirt and one-third rock,
costs about 81, 200 per mile. Bridges.
culverts and cattle guards cost on an
average S224 per mile, grand total
per mile of Sill, 900.
In March, 1896, under the Renfrow
administration, the territorial board
of equalization fixed the value of the
main tracks OF the railroads at the
following figures:

In A recent publication DR.. Alexans
der Wilder discourses upon the effect
OF mental condition upon diseases and
ailments in general and gives some
interesting theories about catching
cold in particular. He advances the
theory that colds are not due so much
to exposure and sudden changes as to
the mental condition. He says that
worry is more responsible for colds
than wind or drafts. Sudden changes
in temperature are, he thinks, the
least cause for colds. He cites the
custom Of some people, nosably the
Indians and Russians, of getting them
selves into dripping perspiration and
then diving into an ice cold stream.
He Gays this results very benehclally
and is not conducive TO catching cold.
DR.. Wilder believes that depression OF
spirits and worriment are the most
general causes of severe colds. People
OF this disposition and temperament
he says. are more apt to be suffering
from colds than the cheerful and con-
6dent. He advises people to refuse to
be worried. he says this is the saliva
tion from colds and diseases.

THE MASS DEVELOPMENT.
Stamp Mill will he Finished in
the Early Spring.

Director S. d. Whittemorc has
the following to say in the Financial
News regarding developments at
the Mass mine and its new stamp
mill being erected on keweenaw
bay:
Underground development work
has been pushed very rapidly at the
Mass this year. When the annui |
report was issued we had l,745 feet
in drifts; at present we have 1000
feet Of drifts In addition to this
we haze altogether s32 feet of new
shafts and upraises, and over 1000
feet of crosscuts. If underground
development were continued at its
present rate. until the mill is COM
pleted, we should be able to furnish
two heads of stamps with rock from
the start.
1--WE shall decrease our force of
miners and let underground develop
ments 90 a little slower while the
mill is being built. We have suf.
ficient openings ahead now to more
than supply one head OF stamps.
The railroad to the Mass mine will
be completed Saturday of this week
and another shipment Of mass and
Darrell copper will be made next
week
"The foundation for our stamp
mill is nearly completed. AS the
bed rock comes to the surface the
cost of the foundation will be very
light, about $1,000, | think. Our
mill will be finished in the spring OF
early summer,
1--WE have been opening all five OF
the lodes at the Mass, and any one
of them compares favorably with
those operated by the best amyg.
daloid mines at the lake. y
