Cripple Creeks mining history the Daily
Mining Record of Denver says of the dis
trict: I'm that period it's mines have
produced $106, 96S, 2S7 of gold bullion, OF

In the past five years, and the balance OF
81. 100000 during the period from the first
discovery of gold in 1891 down to the end
of the year 1895. The annual average
production therefore for the past hall
decade has been SIS. .655.40. This is a
phenomenal record; but it indicates what
the powers of this great gold camp are
when it comes to making steady pro-
duction. The camp has just got under
full swing and will doubtless be able to
maintain this average of production for
years to come"

made upon the Commissioner for a refund

the principle at issue The one question
involved is whether the internal revenue
laws of the United States apply to the
dispensary system Of South Carolina so as
to entitIe the collector to demand the pay
ment Of these taxes.
IN the brief filed on behalf of the State
it is contended that there is nothing in
the laws of the United States authorizing
the collection of internal revenue taxes
which. even implicitly. authorize the impo-
sition OF a tax against u State or its in
strumentaities Of government, and that
an act containing a provision taxing the
Observation-Disclosures of the State Government
would be &c that extent unconstitutional
1t is further eoEtended that the property
of a State and the means and Instrument
+ taiitics employed by It TO carry its laws
into operation cannot be taxed By the
+ Federal Government and an opinion of
the late Judge Cooley on this question is
quoted
/ John ". Yerkes. the Commissioner of
+ Internal Revenue, speaking Of the mat
ter this morning intiraated that he was
inclined 20 the opinion that the dispense
~ system is-not a necessary State agen-
Cy, or such a needfuI function of the
Z state Government as viii exempt 1t from

tends that when the State performs
which has been and can be performed by
its citizens in their individual capacities,
a new aspect arises.
If it is unconstitutional to require the
local agents employed under the diSDen-
Sary system of South Carolina To pay to
the Government the sums required for
retail and wholesale liquor dealers

I other States, the Commissioner says
could take control not only OF the sale,
but Of the manufacture Of whisky, beer.
and tobacco and If So then the question
would arise. could the Government levy
any taxes upon the products of plants

States must thereby be able to pay ali
