Mine Taxation.

In the matter of the assessme ut of
the Copper Queen and other mines of
Arizona the courts have held the high
assessments to be void. Many years
ago the matter of taxation of mines
and oil lands was threshed over in the
courts of Pennsylvania and there set
tied in a manner that would appear
equitable to the state and land owners.
1t was held in certain case that lands
must be fully proven to have a value
as oil lands before they could be taxed
as such, and in another case that the
coal measures developed "a a mine
should be of commercial valne and un-
der ordinary conditions return profits
to the owners in the working of the
same before CHASING them under the
head of coal lands. This process of
reasoning seems just and equitable to
the parties and we believe that il the
same method of taxation prevailed here
the mining com panies would feel more
like paying on the listed valuation. In
Mohave county mine was listed at a
valuation of l0.0J0S and we believe the
lax was paid at that rate. The mine
has never paid dollar to the owners
since its discovery in the early eighties.
II Is in one of the most isolated dis.
tricts of the county and cannot be put
on paying basis until railroad is
built into the country. In this case
the courts would most assuredly hold
that the valuation was excessive. We
believe that all mines should bear their
just proportion of tax and this can be
gotten at in no other way than by a
tax on the output. OF course miners
will howl about taxing the output of

The farmers OF Maine, Vermont, aud,
in fact, all the old states of the At
lantic seaboard are worrying them
selves into state of hysteria over the
proposed government aid for the re.
claimation of the arid lands of the
west. The fact is, the lands of the
eastern states are becoming less and
less remunerative to the farmer year
by year and in the course of time a
farm in the bleak and frozen east can
hardly be given away. These land
holders see no reason why the lands of
the west should be aided by the gov
ernment when their own lands need
stimulation to allow of the raising of
profitable crops. But the farmer owns
his lands, which is not the case with
the lands in the west, for which gov
erument aid is asked. The title to
these lands is still vested in the gov
ernment and when they have been
brought in line Of irrigation by the
building OF necessary storage reser-
voirs, we will be pleased to extend in
vitations to those poor, Uverworked
farmers to come to this glorious land
of the setting sun and live forever af
ter on milk and honey.

the mines, but why should they not
pay it. The cattleman, rancher aud all
other producers of the territory have
to pay q tax on their product and why
not the miner. Just think of the mill
ions of dollars now being taken yearly
from the mines of this territory by
foreign mining corporations upon
which they pay not one dollar of tax.
Does any fair minded man, whether
miner or husbandman, believe that
this is just and right when all other
forms of property have to bear the
burden of government that protects
these forfeign corporations? We do
not believe there is one in the territory
unless he be a crank or paretic. If
the mines we're placed on the roll for a
nominal assessment and the proceeds
of the property had to pay tax here
would be more mines patented and
the territory in the long run would re.
ceive greater benefit than under the
present system. Mine owners are
com PEELED to forego the patenting of
mining claims for no other reason than
the excessive tax levied against the
properties as soon as title passes from
the government.

Auglo-Indiau tales. His latest and per-
haps his most ambitions novel is now
running rs a serial in the New Yori,

It is a story OF the races, and VIII ap-
peal to every horse lover in the coun-
try. and to a good many people who are
not particularly keen en- horses, because
there is plenty Of human nature in 1t

OF 4 stock farm. she has been brought
up among horses and loves them as only
such girl can love a. horse. She in
herits all her fathers delight in racing
and his knowledge OF the thoroughbred,
and withal she is not bit like the
sporting character one sometimes finds
in English novels. It would be spelling
the readers pleasure in the story to
forecast The plot; but it may be said
that the hcro's heroic qualities are more
moral than physical, and that he wins
the love Of his lady. not by any her
culean ieats Of strength. but by reck-
lessly sacrificing himself to save her
brothers good name. 1t is refreshing to
GGd just that sort of hero in a story
with as much igor of action as ar

a heroine of spirit, assume that the man

The past season has been somewhat
remarkable from a literary point of
view, in that it has brought forth few,
if any, great books, but an unusual num-
Der Of good ones. In other words, while
genius has been quiescent, talent has
been exceedingly active, and that is
good, so lar as summer reading is con-
cerned. When the thermometer is coy
ly lowering in the neighBorhood of the
century point, works OF genius are not as
pleasing as books which are merely
clever, witty, brilliant, in u word. well
written. The past season has been
prolific of these, and in the process of
packing ones trunk for summer out
ings there is large opportunity for the
selection OF agreeable works of fiction
which have remained unread during the
busy season.
"Lazarre."
The best of the historical novels o.
the year is, without much question,
Mary Hartwell Catherwood's "Lazarre,
and as this has been dramatized for pro-
dretion next season, it will probably
have a second year Of popularity great
er than its first. Mrs Catherwood is 4
novelist who deserves a much wider
reading than she has yet had in America.
Her historical romances are altogether
the best collection of such books to be
found in American fiction. She has hith-
erto dealt almost entirely with Canada
and the Northwest during the settlement
OF those regions by the French. Her
first and one of her best novels, "The
Romance of Dollard," and subsequent
books entitled THE White Islander"
THE Story OF Tonty," "The Chase of
St. Castin" Ga book of short storiesl, as
well as her last and most ambitious
work, "Lazarre," are along this line.
She has moreover written one of the
most charming Juvenile stories in our
literature. Rocky Fork" There is not
a slipshod line in anything signed by
her, and her historical details are alb
solutely accurate. This was attested by
that most painstaking of historians,
Francis Parkman. In 'Lazarre" she has
taken up the singularly fascinating ira
dition that the Dauphin of France was
stolen and taken to America during the

ceptiou." It is this intense devotion to
the ideal which has given us the poetry,
passion, and reality Of The Right Of

Canadian Literature.
Canada is, in fact, developing q school
OF literature OF her own. second to none
on this continent. and cnly comparable
in strength and originality to that Of
the Middle West The chief character
istic of the Canadian is deep poetic feel
ing. The little sroup of Canadian poets
has produced work which shows this.

first OF this school to attract attention

and three or four others OF less note.
Prot. Roberts is also the author OF two
or three charming Canadian novels. ami
his latest book. The Kindred of the
Wild" is altogether the best nature
book of the season. It appeared in the
late spring, and is a collection of stories
of animals Of the Canadian forest The
tales have all the sympathetic tender
ness of "The Heart OF the Ancient
Wood" the best-known of his stories.

all, being evidently records Of actual
events. The owl, flush wing" and the
moose. King of the Mamozekel," =" and
the lynx, "the haunter OF the pine

sons of actual acquaintance. The illus
trations, by Charles Livingston Bull. are
alone worth the price OF the book. For
students of nature there could not be
better companion.
Another Canadian writer who is bound
to enlarge his reputation is W. \. Fra
ser. whose versatility is one of his sa-
lient qualities. Mr.. Fraser has written
animal books also, his "Mooswa" and
The Outcasts" coming under this head.
