His Claims in Oregon Found to Carry High Gold Vs,ues-Has Enough Ore on Dump to Put Him in Possession Of Many Thousands.

w. R. Cobb. Postal Telegraph man ager in this city. has received word from Oregon that mining properties he has there have developed values that may soon put him in the class of big mining men.
 MT Cobb will deserve the turn in fortune. which will mark another sue cess by a prospector. The property which is to bring it about is located in the Mormon Basin District of ore gon, and is a gold proposition MT. Cobb located several claims there couple of years ago and turned in to develop them himself. Beside consid- erable money he put a heap of muscle and considerable brain energy into the job. A tunnel and shaft from which about 700 tons of ore were put on the dump resulted. Assays were not fol- lowed up closely. and though some rich streaks came in occasionally, Cobb fig ured it out. when he quit the claims temporarily to rustic more money at the keys. that he had pretty big low grade proposition to deal with, and that until he could get large capital there was little use of his doing more
  than sufficient work to hold the ground
 Matters continued this way until last week. when he received word from Portland that there were things doing out in his Mormon Basin neighbor- hood. A mining man who had been out there and looked the ground over had been impressed by what he saw to the extent of sampling the dumps thoroughly. When he got returns from his assayers he became very much interested in Mir. Cobb. and at once got in communication with him with the result of the negotiations that are pending. Yesterday Mir. Cobb received a full report from Oregon upon the situation. His dumps make an average of over s2O0 to the ton. With the tonnage they carry and the ore in sight in the workings. MT. Cobb's advisers at Portland figure out that he has pretty healthy bank ac- count ahead.

A CITY WITHOUT TAXES.
All the Expenses of Freudenstadt
Germany. Are Paid from
Property Income.

In the Black Forest of Germany is the
little city OF Freudenstadt with about
1000 inhabitants, a busy industrial
place with iron and chemical works of
some Importance, says the New York
Sun.
Small as it is, Frcudenstadt is a full
(ledged city with mayor, aldermen.
half dozen policemen and fire engine.
fhe public business is conducted on an
economical basis, ard the total ex-
penses do not exceed $25 1000 in a year.
Freudenstadt has the distinction of
being the only city in Germany, and per-
haps in the world, which does not tax
the citizens a dollar for municipal ex-
penses. The yearly net revenue from
the public property covers all the outgo,
This property consists of about 5000
acres OF fine forest, which. being man.
aged under the best forestry methods. is
permanent source of income. One or
more trees are planted for every one
that is cut down. Nc tree is cut till it
can Weld the maximum profit.
After deducting all the expenses of
the industry the annual profit to the
acre is about five dollars. This ia ex-
ceptional even for Germany. where the
annual profit ranges from So to $3.50.
The question is often asked in this
country whether it will pay to keep land
under permanent forest. Unless at least
moderate profit is possible. no one can
be expected to grow trees on land that
can be used for any other purpose.
The Rhode Island experiment sta+;o,
is now giving some attention to this
question, and in bulletin just prepared
by Prof. F. w. Card some interesting
figures are presented He cites the ex-
perience of Zachariah Allen, of Rhode
Island, who planted worn pasture with
trees in 1920 and kept a careful financial
record till 1877, 81 years. After deduct-
ing all expenses he found that his croft
was nearly seven per cent. per annum
on the original investment.
There is also record of the return.
on 4O-acre tract of white pine in New
Hampshire for 80 years, during which
time the average annual profit was 81. 75
an acre. The facts given by Prof. Card
seem to show that only a. moderate
profit is to be expected from forests
treated as a permanent cropp. Perhaps
We cannot make as much money in this
industry as is made in Europe. where
every part of tree can be marketed at
some price, even the small branches and
twlgs being gathered into bundles and
sold for firewood.
