Chauncey M. Depew, according to

telling a good story with great gusto
when a girl in the party laughed.
He stopped with a frown.
What's the matter?" he asked.
1T is one of the last stages said
the girl. You are telling me a story
of my own that / told you only half an

Whereupon Senator Depew, suddenly
and ominously quiet, walked to the

ANNUAL ASSES
nENT WORK..
General Land Of
fees Views of the
Work that
Counts.

Commissioner Williamson of
the General Land Office thus
gives the view of the department
concerning character of annual as
sessment on mining claims. "All
i'm improvements made on a mining
claim having a direct relation to
the development thereof may be
taken into conside ration. Any
building. machinery, roadway, or
other improvements used in con-
nection with, and essential to. the
practical development to the claim
will enter into and form a part of
he expenditures for Improvements.
Necessarily, however, improve
ments of the character indicated
must be associated with actual ex-
cavations, such as tunnels, cuts,
shafts, ETC., to clearly show that
they are interested for use in con-
nection with the claims under
consideration" A house in which
to live may be considered a ne
cessity, but it is doubtful if the
house could be changed up against
annual OK Expenditure on one or more
claims, for if this were 30 u person
might locate twenty claims and
build a $1,000 house in the center
of the group, ostensibly for the
benefit of the entire group. The
next year he might build a barn
or add to the honse another $1,000
worth, thereby holding the claim
a second year, though not a dollar
was spent in developing the group.
The principle involved is the same
for one location or two. A hoist
building or a blacksmith-sho gal
lows frame or other construction,
OF machinery for the actual benefit
of one or more locations may prop
erly be charged to annual assess
ment.

NEVADA AND

fGoodwin's Weekly.

Our sister states Of N evada and
Idaho forged ahead wonderfully
during the past year. Nevada is
again coming swiftly to the front
as a great mining state, and is
already feeling the thrill of in
creasing transportation facilities,
the need of which has been the
states greatest want for twenty
five years. It is said the road to
Tonopah will be completed this
winter and the Clark road is NOV
ing on apace.
The mines of Idaho have made
a great record during the past
year, while the work is far adj
vanced to double the area under
cultivation there. Elm ten years
more Idaho will be "The Gem of
the Mountains" sure enough.
There is not one cloud to dim the
sunshine of her prosperity.

Nevada'S Re-
sources.

The best evidence that Nevada
is the best mining state in the
Union is her bullion record of 81,
5O0,441, 1910. Excepting Cal
ifornia no mineral territory in the
world can show such record. Ne
yada is by no means an exhausted
mining state as recent discoveries
show. In a few years we may con-
fdently predict that Nevada will
lead the world in her bullion re-
cord.
Utah, Montana and Idaho COM
bined do not equal Nevada's re-
cord. South Africa, South Amer
lea and Australia each fall to the
rear.-Doston Stocks and Bonds.

Weakness of Trusts.
From the Worlds Work.

From the Worlds Work.
The decline of trust stocks in the market
has again raised In many mems minds the
cations of industry have come to stay. OF
course, the organization of more of them
is checked for a time: but there are reasons
to believe that the methods of organization
which have prevailed for several years will
never be popular or possible again. Proper
ties that were of little value have, as every
body knows. been put into some combina.
tions at high values. In some cases prop
critics (mills. for example) have been abb
sorbed at the value of the damage that they
were supposed to do as competitors to the
absorbing properties-in other words at
what the trust organizers could afford to
give, or were forced to give, to close them.
Thus some trusts have capitalized a mega
tive thng-a loss.
In the juggling with thought that UNDER
lies much of the promoters vocabulary. the
capitalization of such loss has often been
called an economy" Thus-two factories
are in competition Neither makes money.
Each is held at 100000. They are COM
bined. Their combined value is called ST.
600 600 But. if one of them is shut the real
value of the two is only 81 100000 Yet they
are capitalized at $2.OO0.O0O. and must pay
dividends on s.. 0O0. 600. Something like this
has been done time and again.
Time and again, too. the underwriting
syndicates have taken what seems to the
public an exorbitant price for their ser
vices: and to pay this price the stock was
Watered.

Cost of Englishmen's Shooting.

From the st James Gazette.
The extent to which the letting of moors
and forests has become recognized as
regular source of income to lord and laird
alike in the highlands may be judged from
the increase in the number of eer>forests
now annually let. Twenty years ago there
were ninety recognized forests. A recent re-
port from the Crofter commission showed
100 of these forests. Today there are 40.
Shootings and forests which let for upward
of four or five hundred pounds year may
be counted by hundreds. In the two coun-
ties of Argyll and Inverness alone there are
dozen forests whose rentals average 81
600. Here the cost per day will work out at
