placer property on Althouse, is prepar-
Ing TO develop quartz property owned
by him in that district, near Herman

The quartz Ia Mr.. Stalker's mine carries
values averaging about $40 to the ton
aud the vein is about eight ieet wide
On the surface, the quartz is not solid
tor the whole width OF the vein, but is
interspersed with streaks of porphyry
There is already a 80 foot tunnel on the
vein, and Mr.. Stalker is preparing to dc
an amount Of work which will demon
strate the value of the mine which
seems certain to develop into one o
great and permanent worth.

Among the measures which congress

pressed himself in favor oil not only

tion to this country should be regulated.
Individually, the Chinaman Is no worse

but he Is too numerous, China could
send enough people here TO make the

never miss them in her population,

interests may suffer to some extent by

A SORT OF SHAKING UP.

Chatham Record.
From all parts of the State come
reports of more personal property
especially solvent credits-having
been listed for taxation this year than
ever before.
This is one of the good effects of the
much criticised revenue and machinery
laws enacted by the last Legislature.
In nearly every county men have
listed larger amount of solvent cred
its than ever before. It has been a
notorious fact for many years that tax
payers generally have not been strictly
accurate in listing their money on
hand and solvent credits. While our
farmers list their land for taxation, vet
men who lend out money do not al
ways list all they lend, and it is not
right that farmers should pay taxes on
their land and others escape paying
taxes on their money.
And 1t is very significant that the
criticism of the revenue bill has not
come from the farmers of the State.
but for the most part from men who
have heretofore not borne their proper
share of the burden of taxation.
