An alalfa mining journal, published in the heart of the Los Angeles min ing field, explains in reply to query of subscriber, that an unpatented mining claim is real property and as such is subject to taxation as is other forms of real property. As rule this is not true. In Arizona an unpatented mining claim is personal property for purposes of taxation, and such is the case in other states and territories, all though, as a matter of fact, for other purposes it might be considered real ty. Buildings and improvements on possessory rights in Arizona are con- sidered realty, but in California such are considered personal property. The editor of the journal should take a course in correspondence school oi law, as we'll as elements of geology.

Gateway:
"Wallula has the largest SANDER fac
tory of any place of its size in the
world 1t is not a union shop, although
it's proprietor once fled from govern
ment officers because of offensive lead
ership in a strike.
The place does not advertise, for
the proprietor long ago took his ad.
out of the Gateway. saying that live
newspaper was harmful to d town.
Neither does he belong to the Com
that tends to the welfare of Wallula
From early morn till late at night
the characters of our best citizens are
assalled and maligned at the Islander
factory Even the reputation of lit
tie girl has been trailed in the mire.
Should a stranger be unfortunate
enough to drop into the place. he is
Immediately dissuaded from any idea
of settling in Wallula.
Yet this SANDER factory proprietor
has prospered. though in a measure
from his blind pig auxiliary.
$50 long as the people of Wallula
tolerate this factory in their midst
the town will never prosper. The fac
tory should be avoided as pest house.
The name of the author of this ar
ticle appears at the head of this col
Umn and he will back his assertions
IN any manner which may become nee

ly before 1 o'clock this morning from
tuberculosis
Gibson had been in the hospital but
! nine days, having just returned from

Yentna country in the fall of 1904 and
in the summer of 1905 about $4,000 was
taken out by various prospectors. This
aroused considerable interest in the
new district and in the early spring of
1906 about 80 men went into the coun-
try over the ice. During last sum-
mer fully 1000 more went in up the
two rivers. Very few were familiar
with the conditions in the interior and
then became discouraged during the
high water of midsummer and left.
The majority of the prospectors who
remained until fall. found good pay
ground, and although the season was
practically gone they managed to wash
out enough money for grub stakes and
Immediately bought new outfits and
returned to the creeks. Many who had
left during the summer, heard of the
strike made in the fall, and decided to
return.
All of the trading posts We're soon
cleaned out of provisions and this win
ter a large number of prospectOrs are
at Seward. Between 200 and
500 persons are now reported to have
gone in over the ice to the Mt. McKin-
ley district. Although there was no
gold to speak of taken out of any of
the streams until last September, there
was an output of 100000 last season
and now that it is an established fact
that the district is rich in gold, it is
likely that the rush to the Cook Inlet
country will be far greater than it has
been the past two years.
