has been no genuine excitement in
the Rocky mountain region since
Cripple creek. and the hunter for
metal has been on the itch for a
long time now. Idaho is to be
complimented; it is a pity that
Colorado could not have genuine
new discovery 1t would stir the
blood Of all and give new life to
other districts. There is no neces-
sity in taking space to give advice.
The instinct of the prospector has
been aroused and he cannot stay
much longer; he must get rid Ct
his surplus energy and sympathy
should be expended on the burro. !"
1t is refreshing to note that the
Colorado papers generally are not
throwing cold water on our Idaho
mining districts. In times past
there has been too much narrow
minded jealousy between states in
these matters ON the part of the
journalistic fraternity, but all
hands seem now engaged in the
task Of booming the Thunder
Mountain excitement for all it il
worth. 1t is just as well not to
examine too closely just what in
fuence the railroad people are cx.
erting in this matter; the boom is
on, and our people will make the
most of it.

FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.

Camas Prairie being the nearest
available agricultural settlement to
the great mineral region OF central
Idaho and Thunder Mountain from
which these camps will have to
look to for supplies Of all kinds Of
agricultural products, it may be
unnecessary for US to advise our
farmers to cultivate and put in
crop every available acre of land
the coming summer. Not all OF us
will be able to go to Thunder
Mountain and make fortunes this
year, but there will unquestion-
ably be an immense demand for all
kinds of farm produce, and our
farmers ought to see to it that the
camps in our own county do not
have to look elsewhere for these
supplies. 1t is not alone Thunder
Mountain and central Idaho, but
the camps nearer. home, such as
Florence, Elk City, Dixie, Big
Creek, Buffalo Hump, Newsome
creek and adjacent country, which
will largely increase the home mar
ket which Camas Prairie farmers
have in their own hands if they
will only undertake the task Of
supplying the demand. There is
going TO be big money in Camas
Prairie farms this year. Hundreds
Of tons Of hay were shipped into
Elk City, Dixie, Buffalo Hump and
Florence last summer, and the de-
mand is going to increase year by
year from this time forward. Let
our farmers cultivate the demands
of the home market aud the alb
sence Of railroads will be inmate
rial, and, in fact, beneficial in some
ways, as tending to give our people
= more complete monopoly Of the
home market, which is the best of
all markets.

A bill is pending in congress to
pay chief Joseph and his band
1856, 1927 for lands alleged to have
been conveyed to the United States
in trust for the benefit Of the
Indians. As a matter of fact the
United States government had to
fight for every acre it got from
this branch Of the Nez Perez
Indian nation, and these Indians
are not entitled to a dollar Of the
public money for any such purpose.
If Joseph and his band had what
was honestly coming to them the
whole outfit would be doing time
in the United States penitentiary
for the crimes they committed in
this county in 1877, and for which
they are still under indictment.

The fall grain somn on Camas
Prairie never looked better than it
does now, and as the season ad-
vances the conditions seem to point
to another record breaking crop in
this section this year. The condis
tions are remarkable in view Of the
fact that in all the lower country
the loss of winter grain by hard
frost involves the expenditure of
more than half million dollars in
reseeding in the Walla Walla and
Touchet sections, while up here on
old Camas Prairie not an acre of
grain was frozen out throughout
the winter.

TAXATION OF MINES.

The FREE Press published last
week . decision Of the state attor-
ney-general in which that official
the proposition that pat
ented mines should be assessed at
the same value for which the prop
erty would be taken by a creditor
from . solvent debtor. We do not
agree with the Encouragement,
and in the absence of any specific
legislation on this subject, we be-
lieve that patented mining ground
should continue to be assessed at
acreage value, as it has been in
the past. -;
We must not be understood as
favoring the exemption Of mines
from taxation. We believe that
the owners Of mining property are
a. willing as any other class Of
property owners to pay their just
and full share Of taxation necessary
to support the state and county
governments. But it is q PROPOSE
ton which needs careful considera-
ton, and thus far the legislature
has not taken it up on account of
the very obvious difficulties in the
way Of doing the subject justice.
In the state constitutional conven-
ton Of 1889 several propositions
looking to the enactment of con-
stitutional provision on this vexed
subject were considered, but no
final action was taken, and the
matter was abandoned with the in
tention Of having it specially regu-
lated by legislative action. The
one feature which attracted the
most support in that convention,
and which, in our opinion, should
have been incorporated into the
constitution, was the proposition
to tax productive mines a certain
percentage-twenty per cent, we
believe-of the net product, to
which, Of course, would be added
the assessment Of the buildings,
machinery and other improvements
on the property ut the same valu-
alton and levy as other forms Of
similar property. This appears to
US to be just and fair to all. 1t
would be manifestly unfair to tax
the gross product, because in too
many instances the gross product
does not pay the actual expenses Of
production and treatment. Taxa
ton of the gross product was the
law in Nevada and was found to
hamper the development Of the
mining resources of the state, be-
cause the tax on the gross product
is regarded ~ tax On industry
and enterprise, and people are not
willing to invest hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars in experimental
reduction works on such q basis
On the other hand the taxation of
the net product is carried out sue
cessfully in Colorado and Califor-
mia, and is found to work satisfac-
torily and to entail no great hard
ship upon the owners Of a profita-
BILE property. The whole subject
is one which should engage the at
tention OF the next legislature in
view Of the growing Importance Of
the mining industry and the great
revenue which the state under this
system would soon reap from the
development OF its mining re-
sources.
