STAMPS ON MINING STOCK.
Collector Lynch's Digest of Special
War Tax Decisions.

John c. Lynch. collector Of internal rev.
enue at San Francisco, has compiled a
digest Of the department decisions relat.
ing to the special war tax on issues AM
transfers of stocks. 1t is instructive:
On original issue Of stock the tax Is
cents per 800. or fraction thereof, on tho.
required s9s u must f Be afxed to the Certificate
moi to the stub. before the certificate
passes from the company to the first hold
er of the stock.
of sales, deliveries or transfers OF shares
or certificates of stock, the tax Is cents
per 500 or fraction thereof on the face
value Of each certificate. The stamps re-
quired on a sale or transfer must be affix
ed to the certificate which passes from one
holder to another. After the transfer the
second holder may return the stock to the
secretary Of the company and have new
stock issued without tax. In this case the
surrendered certificate bears stamps for
the tax on the transfer and the new GER
tifcate and its stub do not require stamps.
Where transfer is made by indorse-
ment In blank, the law requires the seller
OF the stock to make memorandum of
sale and deliver such memorandum to the
500 or fraction thereof; the stock need not
be stamped.
Where no certificates, of stock are is
sued. but ownership of the stock is shown
on the books Of the company, the stamps

should all be affixed to the books Of the
The holder Of stock may return to the
company one certificate of stock and have
the stock reissued to him in a number of
certificates without payment of tax. or d
number Of certificates may be reissued in
one certificate without stamps; but In
either case there must be absolutely no
change of name Of the holder of the stock.
The following transfers of stock are tax
able even though no consideration be paid

taxable for original ISSUE but must bear
stamps whenever transferred.
The tax on general Issue or on transfer
is reckoned separately on each certificate.
A certificate for ten shares at 81 a share

amount as a certificate for 500, the tax
being on each 500 or fraction thereof
Where A owns fifty shares of stock and
sell twenty shares to B, A must stamp his
certificate at the rate for twenty shares
The certificate may then be surrendered
and one to B. There is no tax on the re-
issue of thirty shares to A, and the trans
fer of twenty shares to B has been stamped
on the surrendered certificate, so that the
two new certificates do not require stamps

DISCOVERY OF CAPE YORK.
It's Gold Found by Lieut.. Hamblet,

Few. Alaskan, prospectors believe Cape
York Is destined to rival Cape Nome. The
find, which is officially known as the
Kanowgok mining district of Cape York,
appears TO have been made by Lieut..
Harry Hamblet, of the revenue cutter
Thetis. while travelling overland In that
section looking after the governments
reindeer business. Anacovak river is the
principal stream of the district, though
1t is on its numerous tributaries, notably
Banner, Thetis and Left Fork. that the
gold abounds.
Dan Mcdonald. formerly Indian inter-
prefer on the revenue cutter Bear. ar
rived at Cape Nome from Cape York Just
before the last ship sailed He gave
glowing. reports of the camp. and said
dirt giving so cents to the pan had been
found practically at the grass roots on
Banner. Thetis creek Mcdonald regard
ed as rich. He stated that w. T. Loop,
long Congregational missionary at Cape
York, had secured a number of claims,
some of which rivaled Anvil creek In the
surface richness.
McDonald's report and that of previous
arrivals resulted in small-sized stam-

OKANOGAN SILVER MINES.
Possibility Of Making the Marietta

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
LOOMS, Jan. lin the early days,
when excitement ran high and the whole
country was being located, gold only was
for the moment considered, and, no atten-
tion was paid to any other mineral, hence
1t has come about that there are sections
which have as good lead and silver show
ings as any camps In Washington, Idaho
or British Columbia. One has only to
visit a property like the Marietta, on
Whisky HILL the southeast slope OF Palmer
mountain. and almost on the line OF sur
vey Of the Northern railway for Its branch
from Wenatchee to Loomis and the inter-
national boundary line, to become con-
WINGED OF this fact. The Marietta group,
which consists OF some twelve locations,
and has four parallel veins at distance
of about 800 feet apart, the last OF which,
designated Nc. 4. IL strictly gold quartz
and Of an average value Of $40 per ton.
Vein No. 1. upon which the most work =
being done, runs n per cent. lead and 100
ounces silver.
The deepest working now on the prop
erty is eighty-five feet. following the
gaiena vein down. with nowhere less than
thirty inches ore. The company Is now
engaged in running a 250-foot crosscut
tunnel to tap the vein Immediately under

when the shaft will be sunk to connect.
At the same time a shaft $50 feet will be
