TALK ON TAX EXEMPTION
Discussion by Georgetown
Citizens Association.
NOVEL VIEWS ADVANCED
W. Riley Decide Gives Figures on Cost
of Proposed Rock Creek Tunnel
Curfew Law Favored.

At the December meeting of the
Georgetown Citizens Association held
last night the question of tax exemp-
ton was discussed from a novel point
Of view. Several weeks ago an as
ISOLATION in the eastern part of the
city adopted resolutions opposing the
law which exempts churches and re-
hgious societies from paying anything
into the Golfers Of the District. Copies
Of these resolutions were spread broad
cast. and every other association re-
quested TO consider them. with a view
of making their adoption and indorse-
ment general. The success has been
only partial. and the only argument
advanced in opposition to exemption
was that the District was annually
losing a specific number Of dollars and
cents.
DR.. Wood Arouses Enthusiasm.
| DR.. G. w Wood. who addressed the
| Georgetown citizens last evening, ad-
vanced the theory that IL churches and
kindred religious and ecclesiastical or
ganizations are compelled TO assist in
the support OF the municipal govern
ment, they will bring religion closer TO
! the every day world. Dr. Wood said
that the dollar and cent benefit was
not to be lost sight of. however but in
sisted that a greater and more per-
manent good would accrue. His re-
marks were accepted with enthusiasm,
/ and by a unanimous vote he was re-
quested to draft his speech and pre-
sent 1t to the association for formal
action. The entire matter was then laid
over until the January meeting Of the
organization.
] The v,rorouad rocly C-o.I- ,,I
conduit was discussed by w. Riley
Decide. who stated the total cost would
approximate 1880, 900, $1,000 Of which
should be obtained from the present
Congress, to inaugurate construction.
The tunnel is designed to change the
course Of Rock Greek from Lyons MIL
/ Road to the intersection OF the creek
with the esapeake and Ohio Canal
The National Government will be asked
TO take an active interest In the propo-
sition.
Curfew Law Bill Accepted.
A reUort on the ACCESSIBILITY Of estab-
fishing curfew Law was made by the
I Rev. Zed H. Copp. The committee was
! in favor OF a bill which viii prohibit

and after p. IN. from October tC

More Gold From osceoIa.

G. f. Bliss OF Osceola. brought in
Tuesday for shipment to the Mint, a
S95 gold bar, represe nting the prod
OF few cubic yards of the gravel from
one OF Osceola S placer claims The gold
was first extracted from the gravel by
means Of a dry washer and appeared
ia small nuggets, varying in size from
that OF d pin head to bean. These
we're melted and run into a nice little
gold bar for convenient shipment.
More than one million dollars have
been taken out of the placer mines in
Osceola by means of the dry washer,
sluice boxes and hydraulic monitors.
Every spring and summer, when the
melting OF the snow 10 the mountains
furnishes the water supply for the op-
GRAFTON OF the mines many claim own
ers begin the search for pay gravel and
usually meet with success. 1t has been
thus for many years and may continue
10 remain SO for many years to come
Nevertheless Oseeola produces annually
more gold. and that too, from its plac-
er miue-, than any other camp in the
county, and but little is hear or said
about it. We're ii situated in the re-
gions of the North or South pole, and
news Of its placers sent out To the world
a general rush and stampede would be
made for it,
Quartz mining has been attempted
in many places in the district, but in
verably met with indifferently success,
partially through bad business man
agement and the lack Of proper iacil-
tiles for treating the ores. Fortunes
lie awaiting the prospeetor who finds
the mother ledge from whence comes
Osceola's placer gold.

on Bonds To Take East.

Notwithstanding reports to the con

the ignorance of an officious and all
important Individual of this eommun-
ity, together with the influence of 9th
ers outside Of Ely II such we're not
the case, why should the gentlemen
who came here to examine the claims
held under bond by Mr.. Rose. after
expressing themselves as well pleased

that in no respect had the ground in
question been misrepresented Tor at
least the portion of it they saw, for
they saw but little of it, having been
plotted over ground not IN the deal)

with them certified check, covering
the first payment on the bonds, but
for some reasons, better known to
themselves, failed to turn ii over,
Who can explain?
Nearly every owner OF a claim in the
group OF twenty-eight has expressed
himself as confident Of Mr.. Roses abil-

about a sale OF the property, in the
merits of which large majority of
the interested ones have absolute fate

they have decided to give Mr. Rose
new bond upon the properties and thus
do their part toward The promotion OF

MINE SAMPLINGS.

Developments at the White Pine
Copper Cos, Ruth group are progress
sing on the same lines as those OF last
week, consisting of drifting on the 300
aud 500 foot levels OF the Ruth shaft
and doing assessment work on several
of the outside claims in The group.
The same grade and character of the
ore continues in the workings OF the
Ruth.
The Mckinley Co.'S Saxton has
shown decided Improvement the past
week by opening up in the drift on the
300 level OF the same vein OF heavy iron
ore. which on the levels above shows
the puesense Of $40 aud sl2 in gold per
ton. Work on tie company's Jupiter
property, upon which tunnel is being
driven to intersect the ledge, is pro-
crossing satisfactorily.

Pilot Knob, through their local repre-
senatives Messrs. Paul and Doty. is ad-
ding daily to its working force aud out
lining greater amount OF work on
the different claims than any hereto
fore attempted Drifting from the $50

Co., at Copper Flat, through Supt.
Shaw, Is making the necessary arrange
ments for the rebuilding of the No. ,

now sufficiently recovered from the
embarrassing financial crisis of the east
to be on u financial basis amply strong
