Colonel John had already positive
evidence Of the fact that he was not
without bitter enemies.
That was the most cruel part of the
civil war-it divided families. caused
hatred between brothers, and pittcd
father against son.
HIS cousin hated him bitterly, not
because John had ever done him nm
evil turn. but simply on account Of the
bitter feeling the wicked always en-.
tertain toward any one different from
themselves.
Then there was Major Worden.
He had good cause to feel especially
bitter toward the Yankee colonel.

stroke OF business diplomacy, but out
OF his reach SO long as her husband
lived.
NO wonder then, Worden was eager
to put him out of the way-Mollie as
the colonel's widow would be pos
sible prize for him to win.
Colonel John had these things on
his mind as he and the sergeant walk
ed along the streets Of Atlanta behind
their sable guide.
The railroads had been crippled
ere Atlanta fell. but Sherman's men
were now engaged in building them
up and defending them.
All the vast supplies for his army
must come by rail from Chattanooga,
and until these had been accumulated.
Sherman would make Atlanta his

INTERESTING CASE IS
DECIDED IN UTAH
Mining Journal Approves of
Decision Recently Given
in Supreme Court.

In contest by adverse claimants
over the discovery and location, in a
case recently decided by the Supreme
court of Utah, the following PROPOSE
tions and points of law were decided:
U That n discovery Of a vein or lode
on unoccupied and unapproprlated min
eral lands of the United States is q
prerequisite to a valid location of n
mining claim. CD That location
based upon discovery within the lin
its of an existing and valid location is
void. (3) That what has been located
once under the law shall not be re-
located until the first location has ex-
pred. until the rights Of the former
owner or locator have come to an end,
and until, in law he has forfeited or
abandoned his claim and left the prop
erty open for another to take up, says
the Mining World Until such aban
donment or forfeiture of ground is not
subject to relocation, for ii is essential
that at the time Of the location the
ground located should be a part of the
public domain.
Hence, relocation on lands actually
covered at the time by another valid
and subsisting location is void and this
not only against the prior location, but
all the world, because the law allows no
such thing to be done. (4) That when
forfeiture has been occasioned the claim
OF mine upon which such failure oc.
CURED shall be open TO relocation in the
same manner as if no location had ever
been made. provided that the original
locators. their heirs or assigns, or legal
have not resumed work
upon the claims after failure and before
such location. (5) That location to
be good must be good when made, and
that each claimant must stand on his
own location and can take only what it
will give him under the law.
These propositions are readily de-
ducible from sections 2319, 1890 1892
and 1924, Revised Statutes, United
States, and are supported by decisions
from both Federal and State courts, and
by text writers

SCHWAB MEETS CLARK.
Senator Talks Freely About His Plans
for Desert Camp.

United States Senator W. A. Clark
and Chas NJ. Schwab were in camp
| this morning, says the Bullfrog Miner
The former was here relative TO his
railroad interests and the latter to ex,
anime the developments at the Mont
gomery Shosboue Senator Clark was
accompanied by his brother, J. Ross
Tonopah railroad; C., F.. Whittemore,
vice president; his two sons, Chas. w.
Clark and W. A. Clark. Jr.; Chief En-
gineer A. Mcguire, and his secretary, j.

party went through the Shoshone this
morning and found development con-
ditions of most satisfactory nature.
He has Just returned from Greenwa-
ter, where he also has large holdings
in the Greenwater Death Valley Cop
per. Malcolm Mac Donald, who is also
interested, was with the party.
Senator Clark spent some time with
the right of way committee this morn
ing and later visited his old friend
Senator Stewart. His capacity for in
finite detail as business man was well
exemplifed in his looking after the
most minute matters of his local en-
tcrprises. II was n hurried trip. The
Senator and party left Salt Lake in his
$751; private car, said to be the
finest on the road, by special train at
2 O'Clock Yesterday morning. arriving
at Beatty at $50 this morning. He will
leave tonight, carrying with him Mr..
Schwab s private car, for Los Angeles.
To representative of the Miner Mr..
Clark said: ''I have ultimate faith
in this camp, There has been very
decided improvement since my visit
in July. Wooden structures are TAX
ing the place Of tents and the stone
building is also coming into vogue. As
a mining man myself, ! am able TO note

i. Ross Clark stated that no time is
to be lost in getting the railroad into
Rhyoite. Right of way matters are
now practically settled and another
grading outfit has been set TO work be
tween here and Beatty. T"acklaying
is to start Monday, and it is expected
10 have the grade completed in about
three weeks. The Clark people have
completed n survey into Greenwater

Clark said "From all reports the

Investor Must Lose Equally
Without Reference to
Value of Security.
BROKERS ARE TRYING
TO HAVE LAW REPEALED
Unwise Legislation Serves to
Retard Dealing in Lower
Priced Stocks.

| Whenever the government, local or
Federal, attempts to collect taxes on
stock sales Mt so much per share, not
| on the par value, spectators who do an
active business in low-priced stocks be-
come agitated and threaten a legal war,
says the Mining World. For instance,
| New York brokers are demanding a re-
vision in the State law which taxes
each share Of stock sold at 9 cents, no
matter what the par value may be.
| Consequently, a mining stock of par
value of 81, which sells at 10 cents,
must pay the same tax as Standard Oil,
which has a par value of 500, yields
annual dividends at the rate of 36 to
| as per cent, and sells at about $500 per
| share Such discrimination in taxing
stock sales has suggested the united eff
| fort OF brokers on the New York stock
exchange to demand an equitable dis
| tribution Of the tax according to par
value, If necessary steps will be taken
to amend the present law by radical
legislation.
1t is contcnded that shares of stock
represent the property of the corpora
tions which issue them Each share is
a symbol of specific interest in that
property. Ahose interests pass by sale
from person to person through the
transfer Of certificates of stock by as
signment or delivery. Why, therefore,
should the law tax sales Of this partic-
ular property when in reality a sale of
an interest In q partnership, however
extensive its operations and capitali-
zation may be, is not taxed? Moreover,
the State does not tax sales Of such
commodities as coal and iron. The plea
is also made that the existing law will
eventually diminish the business of
brokers, or compel them in the effort to
hold on to It,. TO execute their orders
on exchanges in cities in other States,
as they can by telephone and wire
through branch Offices or connections.
thus building up other exchanges at
the expense of their own.
A trader often deals in 5000 or $4,000
shares n day. which, If he paid the tax
of . cents per share, would mean from
500 to $500 per day-a sum obviously
prohibitory considering the narrow mar
transactions result in losses as we'll as
gains. To be sure, in market like
the present, when speculation is active,
and prices. especially for the newer
silver stocks, are extraordinarily high,
brokers in New York ought TO be earn
