All the large Copper mines that we have
quoted had to expend from one TO four
million dollars in smelling plants. There
are THREE large independent smelters

tremendous outlay OF money. Therefore,

!. The wonderful Big Tree Grove, thir-
ty miles from the Yosemite valley In:
California, is one of the marvels OF the
world: 1T is decidedly, Niagara falls

display Of nature in this country. :
The towering sequoias have been

MANS ak by the wisdom Of the State

There were times when the marvel.
GUS sequotas were in danger. Three

was need of caution to prevent spolia~
/ ton.
When the big trees Of the Mariposa
grove were discovered as late as 1858,
by hunter who had been drawn into
the district while in pursuit of
wounded bear, the tale OF their won
derful height and girth was at first
treated as the mounting of a Baron
Munchausen.
The skeptics deemed it incredible
that any tree could mount till it at
tanned the altitude of 400 feet.
Trees ninety feet in diameter sound
ed like a story to tax the unbelief of
Satan, and people jeered when it was
related that twenty men of average
height, with arms outstretched could
not make a ring that. would encircle
one of the big fellows.
But when investigators went to the
Mariposa they found out that there
was no strain Of falsehood in the
amazing tales. Then came the desire
to profit by the wealth that lay stored
in the huge trunks and branches.

congress in 1890. And around this
again is the Sierra forest reserve with
an area of nearly 100000 acres, or
1900 square miles.
There would be pathos indeed in the
thought that the ."Wawona" must pass
away merely to crafty the greed Of
the lumberman. This wonderful tree
is the oft photographed one that is so
wide that through hole cleft in the
base of it's trunk two coaches carrying
full complement of passengers can
pass each other without touching. and
the wonderful part of it is that the big
fellow is still growing and putting
forth new leaves every year.
"The Grizzly Giant" is noted for its
huge limbs. The first of these, which
shoots out 1875 feet from the ground,
is wider than the ordinary tree, for
the diameter exceeds six feet.
This limb is strong enough and
broad enough to permit the passage of
a stage coach.

nearly 800 feet in height. A man
perched on the top branch could look
over the roof of almost any sky-scrapcr
in the land.
Two Of these trees put in line
would make a length as great as the
longest ocean liner that travels the
Atlantic. Twenty men on horseback
standing in line are not enough to
hide the front of such a tree.
Posterity would have a stern griev-
ance if the stupidity of the United
States government ignored the Won
ders Of this grove, and permitted them
to be wiped out Of existence merely
for the selfish profit of lumbermen.
Entirely too much Of this sort of van
dalism has already taken place in this
country It is to the credit of Uncle
Sam that he has taken every precau-
ton to guard against the loss of a
single tree in this grove of giants.
The danger of consuming forest fires
has ever been present, and to prevent
these from getting Roadway, and
devastating the grove, the government
has fitted out trained corps of fire
fighters. The most famous, group of
rangers is known as the white
Horse Troops"

heritages, and future generations OF

addition to this the railroads have
grants from the State Legislature 70
10000 acres per mile. The l.. q M.
the present Plant System and certain
sections of the s. A. L., comprising the
principal railroads in Florida outside Of
the East Coast railroad, hold these
grants.
The area to be drained begins at the
town of Kis. immee, and comprises
about 2l0 miles, with an average width
of about % miles. In other words,
about four times as large as Manatee
county and ten times as large as Tampa
bay.
Broward's filibustering scheme dur
ing the Spanish-American war is baby
in swaddling clothes compared to this.
1t was hoped by his friends and ardent
supporters during the campaign that he
would cease his filibustering tactics
when elected and be Governor of the
people Of the whole State Of Florida;
but alas, like Ephraim Of old, he's
Joined 70 his idols.
II the cultivation of these lands, after
being drained, is made as profitable as
Broward claims. IL will put every other
section Of Florida out Of business, and
the people and property that viii have
paid for the drainage by taxation under
his plans will have become bankrupt by
such enormous taxation and be forced
to give up their lands, being unable TO
pay the tax.
II the railroads should win the lands
from the State, Broward would then be
playing into the hands Of such railroads
while blindly striving to fight them. IL
the lands prove Of no value after drain
age, IS Is predicted by people Of un-
questionable experience and ability, the
whole State Of Florida will have been
burdened by debt second to no disas-
ter except the civil wharf.-the freeze Of
1896 not excepted.
Then, again, the board is not restrict
ed as to where they shall draw district
drainage lines for taxation, and may exc
tend it to Pensacola IL they want to.
These are some Of the reasons why the
people should vote the drainage amend
ment down.

position when they go to the ballot
boxes may be more than overcome by
the votes of the many who do not con-
slider it at all.
DANGEROUS POWER GIVEN BOARD.
A very large number of the land
owners here look on the powers given
this board as dangerous. The fact that
drainage district has been laid off in
South Florida does not preclude the
possibility Of one being laid off in this
section. The board would have the
power to lay off as many drainage dis
tricts as they please and wherever they
please, and this would carry the power
to tax in these districts such lands as
they please. The land owners | ok on
the power to tax their land 10 cents per
acre, irrespective of their value, as
dangerous power from which they may
suffer.
There are large turpentine and saw
mill interests in this country. The
trees have been cut of large areas of
land and are being cut off more. These
cut-over lands are now of little value,
but in many cases their owners wish TO
hold them because they will grow up in
forests again and become valuable.
The section is so sparsely settled that
lands cannot be put in cultivation as
they are cleared. Their owners have
to wait for them to become valuable
again, either from a demand for land
to cultivate or q second growth Of the
trees. A tax of 10 cents an acre per
annum on these lands would be confis-
catory. Men who wish TO hold their
lands would find 1t very costly to do so.
On the other hand, the possibility of
the imposition Of their tax would great
ly interfere with the sale Of these lands.
The purchaser as well as the man who
would sell would be on notice Of the
possibility Of this tax. He would know
Of the power of the drainage commits
sioners to impose 1t, and that there Is a
considerable area here that Is sub
merged during wet seasons. IL the
commissioners wished to set apart a
drainage district in Middle Florida they
would find ample excuse for doing 80,
for there are vast swamps in this and
adjoining counties. Every thoughtful
man who might buy Florida land would
do so with the knowledge that It might
be taxed for drainage purposes at the
rate Of 10 cents per acre every year,
regardless of its value, and In addition
to the tax that would be imposed for
general purposes.
INJURE CYPRESS TIMBER.
This unquestionably will have a de-
pressing effect on the value Of lands
throughout the State, whether used for
farming or turpentining. Some Of the
timber of the State-the cypress tim
Der, at least-would be killed by draw
ing off the water. Little of the pine
land would be benefited, for while water
stands in the fiatwoods during the rainy
season, it is not of sufficient depth to
interfere with the turpentine men or
the mill men.
The objections to the amendment
stated apply anywhere in the State, and
they apply to all classes, but mber,
turpentine and stock men have a pros
pect of being hardest hit, because they
own larger bodies Of land that is lying
idle and is of little present value.
