empt From Taxation.
There has been some controversy in
Topeka by the assessors and owners of
government bonds about taxes. In sew
eraI instances the assessors have re-
quired the interest on the bonds to be
listed for taxation. One of the Topeka
bond owners who was required to list
the interest for taxation wrote to the
United States treasury department and
received the following reply:
Treasury Dept, Office of the Secretary,
Washington. March 10, 1901.
Mr.. W, Topeka, Kas.:
sSir-In reply to your letter of the
18th inst. you are Informed that this
department does not for obvious rea-
sons offer advice respecting matters
which are necessarily within the juris-
diction of the courts of the several
states. The department can state
however that all United States bonds
are, by law. exempt both principal and
interest from taxation by or under state,
municipal or local authority.

GEN. WARREN INTERVIEWED
He Has a Good Word to Say Of Butte
Mineral Wealth to a Spokane
Reporter.


A recent issue of the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review contains an interview with
General Charles F. Warren Of this city
in which Mr.. Warren speaks confidently
of the mineral output of Butte.
UNLESS something out of the ordinary
happens, Butte will produce $60.000.O00
this year." said General Charles s. War
rem of the copper city at the Hotel Spo-
kane last night. THE chief dangers that
now threaten a record-breaking output
Of metal is the litigation in which the
mines are plunged. The Amalgamated
COPIED company, F. Aug. Heinze and w.
A. Clar' Aseem engaged in mutual wars
of determination, that are being carried
on through the courts in a gigantic man
ner. The shutting down Of the big prop
critics, which is likely to happen at any
time as a result of these suits, may in
terfere somewhat with the output for
1901, but 1t looks as If the camp will yield
not less than $60.000.000.
II estimate that there are 5000 people
in Butte and the little towns surrounding
the place. There must be fully $4,000
men at work. In six months the camp
will be producing $4,000 tons of ore a
day. The new Washoe plant at Anacon-
da will have a capacity of treating 5000
tons of ore alone daily"

Ike Occur d'A1cnrs.

''The Occur D'Alenes mining reports
the scene of several recent discoveries
Of great Importance" said Mr.. w. T..
Hales, a wellknown mining operator
who arrived from that district yester-
day.
THE Hercules Mining company, a lit
tie above Burke, opened a bonanza a
few days ago, the ore being the richest
ever found in that vicinity. The owners,
Day, Hutton & Co., have been engaged
in running tunnel for IL years and did
not intersect the vein till last week
after they had run 1900 feet into the
country rock. They report ten feet of
ore carrying 5000 in silver and from SO
to 60 per cent lead. The find has natur-
ally created much excitement.
The Humming Bird, near Burke, shows
five feet of good ore.
The Charles Dickens, opened by a tun-
mel 400 feet in length shows five feet OF
concentrating ore of which several
thousand tons are on the dump. A con-
centrator will soon be erected to work
the product. Mr.. Hales is the chief
owner.

that is identical with the Gilt Edge ores.
The ore has been tapped at various
places, extending over a distance of
more than 600 feet along it's course, and
can be traced readily for that distance
by the surface outcrop.
Work has just been begun on tunnel
which is intended to be driven up the
hill. where it IS thought the ore will be
found in place in the contact. This tun-
mel is in the hill about Is feet and shows
ore all the way. Assays received from
the ores found at the surface vary from
IS to $14 and will average about $40 per
ton. Sellers & Suitter contemplate con-
siderable development work on these
properties and in short time will make
mill test of few tons of the otter
ores These claims are the farthest north
of any yet discovered along the ore
bearing contact traversing the Gilt Edge
district, but show the formation of those
discovered farther south. Just south of
Maiden gulch the same parties own a
group of three claims on which they
have shown ore, but sthey are very
recent locations but little work has been
accomplished on them as yet.

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, vthe art of self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health of
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. DIR. Pierce's
