Cum GRAMS sails.

An III Paso newspaper recently
sent $. II, Newman and another min,
ing man To the new gold fields OF Sier.

the strike as a rank fake. They
state that they could not even obtain
a color Of gold from the original claim.
Mr.. Newman IL q man OF strong pre-
JUDGES on any subject and for that
reason perhaps his condemnation
should be taken with some degree OF
allowance. Cripple Creek was con
donnei By scores Of mining men with
vastly more experience than Mr.. New.
man. and so was T0nopah and many
other i%ourishing camps. There was
Elizabethtown, Golden, Pinos Altos,
Hillsbor0 and many others that en-.
riched the world by many millions OF
dollars, and II would not be surprising
II many other camps are found equally
as good In early days every bank and
IN fact every store In the territory
was provided with gold scales, which
M-re IN constant use. In recent years,
however, but little attention has been
paid 70 placer mining and now when
q little gold Is struck people 90 wild

have not pleased the powers that ruled

have gotten OF much easier than they
deserved. The Optic believes that this
principal Is fundamentally and abso-
lutely wrong. II is the property that
should form the basis OF the tax The
Individual should not be considered.
The p%rovocation In the present ease Is
extreme, Men owning Thousands Of
dollars worth OF valuable unimproved

Il. They refused to give q dollar to
aid and encourage the growth Of the
city, simply holding their land, until,
as a result 81 the effort and sacrifice

MANIFOLD IN value. These men are
worse than dead beats or parasites.
Their course not only Is OF no help

Some way should be deviged for reach

be through the tax levy.
