s. G. Bagg, resident manager Of the
New Comstock mine, was In Kingmap
Wednesday last from the mine at Pyra-
mid. He says that the crescent from
the fifty foot level is now 10 forty.seven
feet, without indication OF wall. So
far not one barren spot has been en-
countered In the ledge, the whole mass
showing gold in the horn spoon and
giving good results by assay. Twenty
two feet of the ore gave result OF
l6.50s in gold, while fifteen inches outs
side of this gave result OF 1888. MIR.
Bagg brought in sample from twenty
two inches in tho breast of the cross
cut that he believes will go several
hundred dollars. Taken all together,
the mine Is one OF the best showings in
Arizona, and its contiguity to the river
gives it an added value. The other day

fourth interest in the property, sold his

other words, a SO per cent. increase was
added to the production of the previous
year, and from that time forward for
fifteen years there was no check to the
ever increasing consumption of paper
wrapped cigarettes, until the dull
times of 1898 temporarily disturbed the
advance movement.
From the year 1885 competition which
had hitherto been more or less friendly
began to grow more aggressive. From
1885 to 1890 over 235, 000,000 cigarettes
were annually added to the number
made and consumed. With the tax still
at 50 cents per thousand, a production
of 2,233 254, $50 is recorded for the fiscal
year 1890. The fierce storm of competi-
ton soon to break loose was not then
anticipated.
BY 1898 one company was in the field,
and shortly after that date several of
the leading tobacco manufacturers
were making preparations to preserve
their business intact by introducing
cigarettes In enormous quantities and
at or below cost. This campaign was
purely retaliatory in its nature and the
statistics of production show how in
tensely bitter the fight was, for over
1000, 900 0G0 was added to the tax-paid
product in less than four years. The
low tax rate made the 25-cent packages
possible.
The campaign of retaliation which
went on between 1894 and 1897 produc-

ed marked results. 1t cut big holes In
the profits of the manufacturers and
sent the statistics of production up to
the 4,153, .470 mark in the year last
mentioned. The public conscience was
so aroused that the sessions of every
state legislation found willing advo-
Gates of anti-cigarette laws. Some
kind of a measure for the repression of
the sale and use of cigarettes had been
passed in every state of the Union,
we believe, yet so long as the tax re-
manned at so cents per thousand these
laws were of little effect in curtailing
productions.
Within the next year competition
was somewhat lessened, but the in
crease of the tax from so cents to 81
per thousand has much more to do
with checking further growth than all
other factors combined. The increase
took effect July "a, 1897 and with 1t
new classification separating the pa
per-covered cigarette from the alto
bacco variety. and calling the latter
little cigars.
Within the last three years 1.A76, 629.-
09S cigarettes have been clipped from
the record, and the repressive laws
and ordinances are scarcely more strin-
gent than they were in 1898. This
means either that an equivalent of at
least 200. 900 smokers have ceased to use
paper cigarettes or larger number are
more moderate in their use.

IMPRINTED BANK CHECKS.
Coming TO the Internal Revenue
Bureau by Tons.

Coming TO the Internal Revenue
Bureau by Tons.
From the Washington Star.
The internal revenue bureau has re-
ceived two exceedingly small claims
for the refund of stamps on imprinted
bank checks. One of these came in to-
day. 1t was from Cincinnati. He in
closed 80 cents in 2-cent stamps and re-
quested that a check be sent him by
the United States government. Re-
Gently a New England woman wrote
the department a letter saying that
she had been told that the government
was buying back" stamps. She in
closed seven 2-cent stamps and inquired
how much the government was giving
for them. Along with the 35-cent claim
that came in to-day was one for $13,-
900 from a large life insurance COM
pany in New York. Small holders of
bank and other stamps that can be
redeemed do not seem to have under
stood the many statements the COM
missioner of internal revenue has made
that he cannot attempt to redeem
stamps in lots of less than 81. Any
small holder can arrange for his bank
to include the amount in the stamps
being sent the treasury by the bank
and in this way receive pay.
The northwest corridor of the third
floor of the treasury is rapidly filling
UP with bundles, boxes and packages
of imprinted checks. They are arriv-
ing at the rate of 100 to 200 day,
| and so far more than 1890 packages
have been received, numbered and laid
away. AS there isn't room in any part
of the building except the corridors,
these are being used, and the internal
revenue officials expect to be going
around after awhile looking over The
tops of claims to see how to get
around. The corridors look something
like an Evening Star room during a
Christmas pound party.
The usual course of claimants is to
send the claims through the collectors
of internal revenue and forward the
checks by express. Every package is
numbered, examined and compared
with the claim, which is also num-
bered. The packages are put away in
this shape until the claims are acted
upon. Even after they are acted upon
the claims settled the packages will
have to remain in the treasury until
Congress has decided whether the i'm
printed checks can be returned to their
former owners.
One box has been received contain
ing $40 pounds of imprinted checks. and
il is estimated that the boxes and
packages received each day weigh two
and three tons. The claimants make
all kinds of statements regarding the
checks One New York bank that does
a large business with the wealthy
class of New York states in a letter to
the commissioner that each imprinted
check returned for redemption costs
the bank cents. That is why the
bank is so strongly DESTROYS of getting
its check books returned. The checks
are handsomely engraved and much
trouble and expense were gone to in
getting them up.

Dorothy Studebakers marriage
to Scott McKeown was a
surprise to all who knew

things while their engagement lasted.
These eccentricities were known to the
young woman and to the latter's moth
er--but they didn't interfere with the
wedding. San Francisco is a "gamy'
town, but after young McKeown had
had several money-throwing seances
on the sidewalk in front of the Palace
Hotel, the populace looked little wor-
ried.
However, the wedding proceeded, and
then the pace was increased. McKeown
built a house. filled it with wine and
welcomed everybody-and everybody
came. There wasn't any particular
Difference paid to hours-or whether
the sun, moon or stars were shining.
Everything about the house was in
working order at all times. There was
no adjournment. The sessions were
continuous, and when one bunch"
went to sleep, another woke up.
On the money-spending basis, the
young man was a generally acknowl-
edged peach" He gave checks to any
one who asked for them and for any
amount. His popularity with the graft
ers became absolutely astounding. he
was consulted about everything. and
his advice received with every show
of gratitude and difference. But there
was always touch" concealed some
where in the interview.
Mr.. McKeown still adheres to the
freedom of San Francisco. The Bohe-
milan flavor in its atmosphere suits
him, and his allowance from the rich
relatives In Philadelphia keeps him
af1oat. The result-a forthcoming d.

goes on his way rejoicing.

Mutations During Twenty Years.
From Tobacco of Aug. 16.
We begin our review with the year
that closed June 80, 1881, twenty years
ago. At that time the cigarette was
not known outside of few of the
larger cities. The industry was in it's
infancy, for the product, made up by
the tedious and expensive hand pro-
cess, had at that date reached the IN
significant total of 503,S73,7S3 and
while there were several manufactur-
ers in the field, none of these had come
into prominence or taken a command
ing place in the trade. A factor which
probably played an important part in
keeping the manufacture of cigarettes
within narrow boundaries was the tax
of $1.75 per thousand, though the
price at which the goods were then
sold was much higher than at a later
date, and certainly high enough to af-
ford a good profit to the manufacturer,
jobber and retailer. STILL the growth
of business was small. comparatively
speaking, though II was steady from
year to year.
Within two or three years a vast
change came over the industry. The
Internal Revenue tax on cigarettes was
reduced May /, 1888, to so cents per
thousand, but, at the close of that ifs
cal year on June 80, the production
figures indicate only 602,237 $40 made
and withdrawn for consumption. But
what then occurs? During the next
twelve months the total tax-paid pro-
duct was pushed up to 90S, $50 1923, or in
