attention just at present in con-
sequence of a reported rich strike of
copper ore. The ore is copper glance
and the vein at q depth Of 100 feet
d I've feet wide, with q pay streak
varying in width from eighteen inches
to three feet wide and . smelter test
made at American Zinc-Lead Works
in this city disclosed an average
value Of $52 per ton. The ore con-
centrates easily.
It is fortunate for Canon City that
she has plant for the reduction Of
copper and zinc ores. 1t is gratifying
also to know that these classes Of
ores are attracting greater attention
in Colorado than ever before, and be.
cause of the natural advantages of.
fered here for the treatment Of such
ores Canon City win have q
second plant during the next few
months. And who shall tell what the
outcome will be. Coal in abundance,
first class railroad communications,
the ease with which ore can be ship

A WYOMING EXPERT
Says the Copper King Ore Il Very
Rich and will Make a Good
Pay Proposition.


During last week Mr.. E. J. Smizer
Of Battle Lake, Wyoming, was q visi-
tor in Canon City. Mr.. Smizer came
to this city for the purpose of locat-
ting here if he could find a suitable
place to purchase.
Mr.. Smizer is q copper miner Of
many years experience and is con-
sidered by old miners as an expert on
copper properties. While here he
very carefully examined lot of Cop
per King ore and does not hesitate to
pronounce the grade as rich and first
class. His advice to the owners is to
at once put in a concentrator for
handling the ore before sending it to
the smelter.
Such improvements will be added
as soon as the new hosting plant can
be put in operation. which will only
be a short time.
Later-Ar. Smizer purchased Tues
day of D. R. Jones couple Of lots in
Virginia Park addition and intends
putting up a good residence thereon

COSTS OF TRAVEL ALLOWED.
Claim of Captain Barnett. of the Ma.
Tine Corps, Passed Upon.

Robert j. Tracewell. Comptroller Of the
Treasury. has been requested by the Sec
Rotary Of the Navy for his decision as To
whether Capt George Barnett United
States Marine Corps. is entitled 10 mile
age for travelling from MonteviGeo. Uru-
quay. TO Washington. D. c.
Captain Barnett was detached from
duty on board the United States flagship
Chicago by Geographic order from the
commander Of the United States Marine
Corps and was directed 20 proceed to the
United State and report 10 the command
ant. United States Marine Corps.
Comptroller TracewsII, after an ex-
hausJive and thorough review Of all the
points involved in the question. said. Il
am Of the opinion and so decide that Cap
tain Barnett is entitled TO his actual nee
ossary expenses while travelling from
Montsvide0, Uruguay. TO New York by
the shortest usually Travelled route and 10
mileage at me rate Of cents per mile
from New York 10 Washington, D. c..
and ne may be- so paid on the preseuta-
ton Of proper vouchers"
Regarding the shortest Travelled route
from MuuteviGeo 90 New York. Mr.. Trace
well said it is understood that there are
regular steamers running from Monte
vidD1 TO RIO de JaneirO. and other regu-
lar steamers from the latter place 10 the
United States, and that this route IS a
much shorter one than that by way OF
Southampton. which was the one actually
used by Captain Barnett.
IL is claimed that owing 20 uny- u.s.nt-
tary conditions prevailing at Rio dc ia
Metro and consequent restrictions upon
travel, and also owing 20 the delay IN
making connections az that place with
the steamers for the United States. II IS
customary for persons travelling from
Montevide0 To- the United States to 20 by
way Of Southampton. and that the route
via Rio de Janeiro. though the shortest. Is
not "a usually Travelled route.
Concluding his decision. Mr. TraceweIi
said Il am OF the opinion that for travel
between MOntevideo ana the United States
distances should be computed via Rio de
Jaueir0. For travelling from MOuteyidcO
20 New York Captain Barnett may there
fore be paid his actual necessary ex-
peuses, not 70 exceed what II would have
cost had ne Travelled between those points
b. way Of Rio dc JaneirO"

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CASE.
Not Likely the State VIII Recover
Money Paid as Revenue Tax.

Robert Williams. Acting Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue. discussing the con-
tention of the State Of South Caro-
lima, that the Internal Revenue Bu-
roau has no legal right 60 tax South Caro-
Hua's State dispcnsaries and that it
should reimburse the State for moneys
paid for internal revenue tax. said this
morning that the point assumed by the
claimant that the Government had no
right TO tax the dispensary system was
not well taken
Mr. Williams said the question of taxa
ton applied to a government as well as
60 individuals. when the former enters
into commercial enterprises.
The matter Of the rul. having been
adopted as a police measure doesn't
change the right Of the Government ne
added. TO levy tax on the manufacture
and sale Of Intoxicating liquors by the
State OF South Carolina"
In connection with this controversy. It
will De recalled that Governor McSweeuey
some tim" ago made demand on the
internal revenue collector for the district
Of South Carolina for the return Of an the
taxes collected by the Government from
the dispensers Of liquors in that State
since the Dispcusary law became effective
In l>sa- The question was referred 90 Mr..
Gcrkos, who promptly refused 20 rccoE-
uizc the claim
At the same time this demand was made
a suit was filed IN the Court or Claims By
Franklin II. Mackey in behalf OF South
Carolina for the return OF the taxes The
amorDt involved is $1,000 which repre-
s7ntS az annual tax Of 80 collected by the
Government from each man actually en-
gagged in dispensing liquors IN South Caro-
lima under the State Dispensary law. and
also tax Of SI25 from the State Dispen-
sary Commissioner.
Mr.. Mackey's brief declares that the IL
quO- traffic in South Carolina is not a
private but a State business: that the
men engaged in il are agents Of the State.
and are paid out Of the general revenues
Of the State. that their compensation
does not in any way depend on the
amount Of sales they make. but is regu-
lated and guaranteed ny law, and that by
levying "A tax on these agents the Federal
Government is interfering with the police
power of the State.
It is pointed out that II South Carolina 5
peculiar excise law should make that
State immune from the Federal tax on
the liquor business other States might
soon follow Der lead. and ultimately all
the States would be in a position 70 defy
the Federal authority in an important
particular.
N-. Nerkes recently said the Supreme
Courts opinion uph1.dinE the South caro-
lima D.sneusary law distinctly declared
that Law TO be correct exercise Of "a
States police power. but does not say
that this power can bee SO exercised as 20
uuIify the laws Of she United States and
the regulations of the internal revenue
system
The opinion Of Mr.. Yerkes on this i'm
p7TJaat question is now being expected
daily.
