NATE McLEEs SUSPENDED
FOR HIS UNSkILLFULNESS
Attempts 10 Run the Steamer AIcazar
Across the Bows of the Newport
off Point Reyes

The second mates license of J. T.
McLees of the steamer Alcazar was
suspended for sixty days by United
States Local Inspectors Bolles and
Bulger yesterday for allowing his
steamer to collide with the steamer
Newport off Point Reyes on January
Is. In their decision the inspectors
said:
After a careful consideration of the
evidence in this case we are satisfied
that j. T. McLees, second mate of the
steamer Alcazar, was negligent and un-
skillful in navigating said steamer on
January 15 1907. He changed his
course after answering the one whistle
of the Newport and afterward. giving
two whistles, starboarded the helm,
endeavoring to cross the bow of the
other steamer. For such negligence
and unskillfulness on the part of ]. T.
McLees we suspend his license as mas
ter of steam and sail vessels for sixty
days from date hereof"

DORIAN BILL GETS
 STRONG ENDORSEMENT
Tucson Citizen Advises Gov, ernor To Accept Just Basis
 For Mine Tax.

The Tucson Citizen, after stating the issue raised by friends of the Doran mine tax bill and Governor Kibbey, concludes an editorial as fol- lows:
 The issue therefore is upon the justice and propriety of mine taxation based upon the value of output or Of taxation upon the gross value of the mine as property. On this present ment there seems little doubt that the producing value is the true and just basis for assessment. A mine is dis similar from real estate in that the value of the latter is intrinsic. Real estate may f1uctuate but it's value IS | fixed upon the revenue which may be derived from the use of the land. A mine, on the contrary, has no intrin' sic worth. Its value is altogether on ! its output. Once the ores are ex' hausted the miles of tunnels, shafts and drifts and acres of surface are worthless. Since the sole basis oi value in a mine is it's output 1t IS | just to assume that taxation should be upon that basis of value. Even il | 1t were possible to ascertain the ex act extent and value of the ore bodie! contained in a mine 1t would be nc more jus to make that value the bas is for annual assessment than I
 would be to compute the total earn | ings of Q piece of real estate for l period similar to the productive lift
 of a mine and cali that basis for it: 1 yearly assessment.
 I Tt is undeniable that the produc tive mines of the territory have no paid the share of their earnings intt the tax funds which should be forth coming The matter has not Seel brought prominently to notice before ' Perhaps the mine owners were awar'
 of the injustice. but human nature i
 not given to self-accusing and the sb 1 Isence of forcibie demand for a ta'
 upon output is the reason for it's pre-
 vfoas nopsexistenee.
 Governor Kibbey has done well il
 bringing the matter to an issue. III H.
