TONOPAH EXTENSION NINE
Must Not BE COMPOUNDED With
Another Company of no Good.

luz interesting ulSCONeTy was
made yesterday that there are two
%''Tonopah Extension companies"
both located in Nye county, Nevada,
and both incorporated in the same
month of the same year. The dis
covery was made through a certifi-
cate for stock in one of the compan-
les being received at Pittsburg office
of the Tonopah Extension company,
with a query as to whether the GER
titicate was genuine, but it is not a
certificate for stock in the company
that is so largely backed by Pitts
burg capital, which has thus far met
with extraordinary success in devel-
oping its property in Nevada. The
certificate referred to bears the sig
natures OF w. D. Saloman as presi-
dent and Charles J.. Haslnan as sec.
rotary, and also the seal OF the
company, which has the words "San
Francisco in the circle. The certif.
cate also shows that the company
was Incorporated May 8, 1902, with
an authorized capital Of $500, 900, di-
vided into shares of the par value of
81 each. The company which Pitts
burgh capital is developing was in
corporated under the laws of the ter.
ritory Of Arizona (Which fact is men
toned in the seaD on May 10, 1902,
with an authorized capital OF 81, 000,-
600, divided into shares of the par
value of 81 each, and about 1920, 600
of the capital has been issued. Ger
titicates of this company are signed
by NJ. r, Ward as president and J..
f. Brown as secretary. The latter
stated yesterday that he had no
knowledge Of the other company re-
ferred to, did not know its officers
nor the location Of its property.
From the date on the stock cerlif.
cate received here, however, it APP
peared that the company has been
Incorporated eleven days prior to the
incorporation Of the company backed
by Pittsburg capital. 1t is import
ant TO brokers and dealers in the
stock to know that there are two
Tonopah Extension companies. The
quotations yesterday on the Tonopah
Extension stock in which local stock
traders are interested we're 81 20

The other Tonopah Extension min.
ing company was Incorporated under
the laws Of California to develop a
group OF claims about six miles north
OF Tonopah. No work was done. the
company is practically dead and the
claims r now abandoned. 1t is
supposed that a small quantity of
personal stock was sold, and which
is absolutely valueless, and purch.
asers OF Tonopah Extension stock
should be careful to see that they are
given the right certificates which
are easily distiuguishable by the des.
ignation Of the state under which the
great mine is Incorporated viz, Ari-
IONA.

some and altogether unjust "lcense taxes"
levied by the municipal council on all kinds
of business houses. This latter system is
little short of iniquitous. 1t should be abol-
ished, and it is up to the men doing business
to take some united action and protest
against its being engrafted upon the munich
pality as a standing form of assessment 1t
is unfair in almost every particular,
and it would seem that little effort has been
made on the side of fair dealing. The
"license tax levied upon some kinds of
business is outrageously high, while others
are let off with the payment of a nominal
amount. There is no such thing as unifor-
nifty about it, and the whole thing is mis-
cradle botch, rejecting no credit upon the
taxsmth who built it, or the men who en-
abled it to become local law.
Men may be able to stand five or six
separate and distinct kinds of taxation for a
time but they cannot endure it always.
Their recuperative powers will fail after a
while, and they will be forced out of bust

locality where taxes are not laid upon them

KEEP UP THE AGITATION.

1t may be set down as fact that Con
gress passed no legislation for Alaska at
the present, or late session, as that body has
probably adjourned ere this. Alaskans
almost unanimously asked to be given "a
delegate in Congress; majority petition
ed for territorial form of government a
new judicial district was recommended by
the Senate committee on territories, as were
also changes in the mining laws as applied
to Alaska, and numerous other amendments
to existing laws. But, practically nothing
was DONE There were numerous discus
sions in both branches of Congress and num-
bers of Alaskans told Congressional commit
tees what they knew and did not know
about the needs and requirements of the
territory All to no purpose. We stand,
governmentally, just where we were four
years ago. Not step has been made to-
ward selfgOvernment or securing represen-
tation in the national Legislature. This
should not discourage us, however. The
fight to secure our ''inalienable rights
must be pushed with greater vigor than
ever before. 1t will not do to grow weary
because we have been denied recognition in
small things, as well as great. Daniel
O'Connell's method of securing reforms and
the abatement of abuses must be persist
emily followed that is we must "agitate. !"
Publicity is the thing. We must keep
"hammering away regardless of immed-
ate results, and eventually we will win the
battle.
. Alaska is becoming better known each
succeeding year, and before long her clam
oring for just and righteous recognition will
be heard-and listened to-

The TWO GREAT CONVENTIONS.

In another month the Republican Nation
al Convention will be in session in Chicago,
and on July the Democratic hosts will
rendezvous in st. Louis. The Republican
gathering at Chicago promises to be COM
paratively tame affair, for, as far as we
know, no real or tangible opposition to the
nomination of President Roosevelt has de-
veloped. The convention, therefore, will
most likely parta1e more OF ratification
proceeding than enything else. 1t is scarce
ly probable that there will even be much
division of opinion as to the national plat
form and what it shall contain, although
the 'Iowa idea of tariff reform may Occa-
sion some debate. The reciprocity feature
introduced of late into Republican national
politics will no doubt, be endorsed.
1t will be at ST Louis where the pOliti-
cal battle will wage the hottest. What the
result will be, cannot at this time be even
guessed at The Democratic party is divid-
ed-almost hopelessly so-and it does not
seem as if the reOrganizers will be able to
dominate the st. Louis convention. That
Bryan will endeavOr to compel the conven-
ton to endorse the Kansas City platform is
not to be doubted, and it is probable, indeed,
that he will be successful In this event.
the division so apparent, would be more
hopeless than ever, and the logic of the stu
alton would be the nomination of William t.
Hearst for the presidency. But battle
royal may be expected between the Bry an
ties and the ''reorganizers, before the party
S committed to further fOllV
