The question of equal taxation is an
important one no doubt, but, at the
same time, one about which the aver
age man knows very little. We had
the promise of some articles on the
subject some months ago from the pen
Of a man well qualified to write on
the subject, but SO far they have failed
to materialize. The strongest de-
mand for reform comes from Hudson
county. but to an outsider it does not
appear that the people OF that section
OF the State are treated unfairly. Ac-
cording to the annual report Of State
Comptroller Morgan for 1908, the tax
collected for the use of the taxing dis
tricts of the State upon railroad and
canal property for the last fiscal year,
was $4l7, 533.76. OF this sum, $685.

Hudson county got s152,709.47, and

more than two-thirds Of the amount

Bering Sea Quartz Mine
 in Solomon Country
IT SHOWS UP WELL
A Shaft Has Been Sunk to a Depth of 70 feet.=-Quartz
 is Free Milling.

What promises to develop into a first class quartz mine is the Boring Sea lode about three miles southwest of the Elurrah quartz mine, in the Solomon country. It is owned by Tom Vallier and Andrew Olsen, who. during the past winter have done considerable work on the mine.
 Mr. Vallier, who is in town says that the vein is true Assure, is feet wide and the rock is free milling. Assays made have been entirely satisfactory. A shaft has been sunk on the Boring Sea to depth of 40 feet: at 20 feet a cross cut was run, and it is the inten- tion of the owners to sink to d depth of 100 feet and then cross cut the vein. Work, however, has been suspended until summer, when it will be again re- Sumed.
 Experienced quartz men who have examined this mine are very favOrably impressed with it and they state that there is no doubt of its permanent char acter. Although but three miles from the Hurrah mine the ledge is separate and distinct from that famous property.
 Vallier and Olsen have also located a promising copper and gold ledge about three miles east of the Boring sea lode Samples of rock taken from it show it to be very rich in copper. No assays have been made, however. The ledge is fourteen feet wide and the vein is well defined

THE SPRING
 CLEANUP
Will There Be Plenty of Water is a Question Now of Interest
 To Owners of Dumps.

Mining work for the winter season is rapidly closing, and with continued warm weather sluicing should be in progress by May l. Out in the country, however, the thawing process is not so particularly noticeable as it is about town.
 In some oft nearby creeks water is beginning to make it's appearance on top of the ice. and, if indications do not fail the spring breakup will be an early one.
 A question which is of intense in- terest to the owners of dumps on the hills, as well as elsewhere. is. will there be enough water to wash up the win ter output. It will largely depend up- on the length of time the snow remains on the ground If the weather should turn cold the water available might be meager in quantity and the result of the cleanup nightly disappointing.

A GOOD BILL
 AT THE TOTEM

The boxing contest held at the Totem on Monday night last, in which Ed. Kelly agreed to stop "Dutch the Terri ble' and Big Johnson, each in five rounds, drew full house. The decis- ion was awarded to Kelly after three hard rounds with Dutch and two rounds with Johnson. Dutch certainly put up the best fight he has done so far in Nome. Kelly showed himself to be in the pink of condition, and ready for the big fight which is to come off next month between Duffy and himself.
 The preliminary go between "Sharky'' and Bagley was declared draw at the end of four fast rounds.

 THE OFFICES
Of the U. $. Commissioner and Recorder to Staples Block
 on May 1, Next.

On May ], next the offices of the U. $. Commissioner and recorder will be moved from the Jourden building on Steadman avenue to the Staples block, corner Front and B streets. The lease for one year was signed yesterday by the parties in interest.
 part of the agreement is that a fire proof vault shall be put in the building for the preservation of records in case of fire. The expense will be borne by public subscription, notwith- standing the fact that the fees derived from the office are turned into the United States treasury, and the judge of the court has ample power to author ize the expenditure of money for such a purpose, out of the fees, paid by the people, into the office. "The govern ment,' however is in straitened cir cumstances and as is usual, in Alaska 'the people" are called upon to make good' that a pitiful showing of 'economy'' may be made by federal officials.
 The new quarters. however. will be commodious in every way and will be an improvement on those formerly occupied. The rental price is $l25 per month. The offices will be steam heated.

THE LAST
 ROUND City Council Empties City Treasury. LAST GENT IS GONE
An Attempt to Pass Several Or. dinanceS FailS-NeW COun.
 cil Takes Hold Thursday.

So anxious was the crowd to get in to witness the last bout of the old city council on Monday evening that the glass in the front doors was broken. Every seat in the room was taken and standing room was at a premium. All the members of the old council and most of the newly elected councilmen were present.
 The first business transacted was to order batch of bills to be paid out of the fire fund, amounting to Sl25. D. Next, general warrant for SS3 in favor of the Merchants Cafe was ordered can celled and a warrant on the fire fund issued in lieu thereof.
 At this stage of the game the mem- bers of the council amused the specta- tors with several sparring exhibitions of the kindergarten order
 Rowe started the first round by nov ing that the ordinance providing for the improving of West B street be tabled: he said it ought to be a matter for the new council to consider. Stew ems was in ROwe's corner this time, and seconded the motion. This round resulted in draw, Rowe Calvin and Stevens voting for. and Hill, Hoxsie and Bard against it.
 Hill opened up the next round with out waiting for the gong by moving the adoption of the ordinance. Hoxsie backed him up, as did also Bard, but Rowe, Calvin and Stevens tied that motion by voting against it.
 Hoxsie and Stevens changed corners in the next round, it being on the pass

 The ordinance granting franchise to the Moonlight Springs Water Co. had the same vote as the one previous to it, and the spectators howled.
 A knockout blow was very nearly landed by Hill in the next round Rowe opened with bold swing at the fire fund by moving that the bill of Tanner X Clark for lumber used on the city hall be paid out of the fire fund, to be made payable some time next June. Hill moved to adjourn until Wednesday evening, and although Stevens asked Hill what would be the use, as the money was all gone. he seconded the motion, but they were hoored by four votes against them.
 HoXsie then seconded Rowe's motion, by which time Hill had again risen to his feet, and he tried hard to land his blow by moving to adjourn until Tues day evening at o'clock. Referee Bard declared foul on Hills part, ruling his motion out of order, and vote was taken on the lumber bill. Hill and Stew ems voting against it.

"If Lieut. Peary wants men to go to the north pole, Alaska is the place to get them. There are thousands of men up there who are impervious to the cold, who could cross the north pole a dozen times and never feel the effects. It. seems rather silly to me that Peary picks his men from the States where there never is any cold to speak of.
 Uncle Sam ought to make some pro visions for the Eskimo. Since the white went man to Alaska the race has grown shiftless and have forgotten how to fish. They have no idea whatever of the value of money. and think that the flour and bacon brought into the country are furnished for nothing. They are very hospitable, and always willing to help one in distress. Much has been done for the Indians: some thing ought to be done for the Eskimo.

THEY WERE \. ARLY DROWNED.
PARTY OF 10 WRECKED IN BOW
ELS OF THE EARTH.
Their Boat FilIs-Cave Roof Only Two
Feet Above Surface of Subterranean
River-Reach the Steep 6ank-Af-
ter Being Thrown Into Icy Waters
of Echo River, in Mammoth Cave.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 19.-Eighteen
delegates to the league of commission
merchants were thrown into the icy
waters of Echo River, which winds a
tortuous course through Mammoth
cave, deep underground, and were
saved only by the GOODNESS of the
guide, John Nelson, and the heroic
work of Charles A. Muehlbronner of
Pittsburg, Pa.
The roof of the cave over Echo river
is arched and the space in the center,
owing to an unaccountable rise in the
river, was only two and a half feet
above the water. In order to insure
the passage of the boat the men and
women were forced to stoop over.
AT one place the boat swerved to one
side, raking the heads of those occu-
pants seated next to the bank. These
leaned farther forward, which lowered
one end of the boat and the water be-
gan to flow in rapidly.
The guides saw the danger and call
ed to Mr. Muehlbronner to jump and
take the chain. This he did, landing
on steep bank which offered only
slight foothold.
Lying on his face he held to the
chain and pulled the boat toward the
bank. The boat sank in eight feet Of
water. Further back where there was
no landing the water is Is feet deep.
BY the light of single lantern the
o1t NJ
Muehlbronner's PROSTATE form and
after waiting several hours for boat
were brought in safety to daylight.

AFTER ANTl-ToxIN TRUST.
Medical Societies of Illinois Begin
Proceedings.

Chicago-The Chicago Medical so
ciety and the Illinois State Medical
association will, it is expected, begin
legal proceedings against the anti
toxin trust under the antitrust law.
Secretary Pritchard, of the health de-
partment said that he had informa-
tion to that effect. An official state
ment regarding the death trust" in
antitoxin, was issued by Secretary
Pritchard. The statement says in
part:
"The antitoxin trust is nothing more
or less than a traffic in human life.
Three concerns which manufacture
and practically control the antitoxin
supply of almost the entire country,
have seen fit to arbitrarily advance the
price of their product 100 per cent.
1.-THE department felt compelled to
call public attention to the evidence
that combine had been formed which
effectually controlled the price of the
only known remedy for the most dread
scourge to the child fife of the coun-
try. Primarily our object is to call
attention to the immediate effect this
would have on the death rate of chill
dren in the city of Chicago. The bur
den of increased cost will fall heaviest
on the self respecting, self supporting
heads Of families of modest incomes.
"The publicity already given has
aroused the mel cal profession to the
highest indignation and no doubt will
result in some action speedily being
taken to have supply of antitoxin
from sources other than that of the
combine"
