ASSESSMENT TAX PROPOSED.

The talk about mine taxes reyiyes interest in subject in connection with mines, that has nc connection whatever with the issue under discussion, but which is nevertheless worthy of careful consideration. The subject referred to is a change in the law concerning the annual assessment work on prospects, and the father of the idea is Charles NJ. shannon of Graham county. He first broached it in a recent session of the American Mining Congress. The subject is best placed before the reader by the resolution which Mir. Shannon intro duced in that congress and which is as follows:
 Resolved, That it is the sentiment of the American Mining Congress that the United States statutes requiring an- nual assessment work upon mining claims should be so amended as to al- low the locator, or owner of claims the alternative of either doing the assess ment work now required by the statute or of paying in lieu thereof an annual assessment of $50, the same to be paid to the county tax collector of the county in which the claim is situated, to be applied as follows One-half to be paid to the state or territory in which the claim is situated to be devoted to the school fund, and the other half to be de- livered to the federal government to be devoted to the reclamation fund for the storage of waters, such sums as are so delivered to the national government to be credited to the state or territory from which they are received, and in all cases to be strictly applied for the use and benefit of said state or territory"
 There were many arguments ad- vanced in the congress in favor of the resolution and few against 1t The resolution was first amended to make the amount $l00 in cash, representing an equal amount of assessment work on the part of those who do not pay, and the resolution was then defeated at that session. It is understood, though, that Mir. shannon has been working along this line for several years and does not propose to be discouraged by one defeat. Phoenix Republican
 Mr. Shannon's proposition is the method in operation in Mexico, where it works well. The only diff ference is that in the adjoining re- public all the tax is paid the federal government, while. MT. Shannon proposes part shall go to the local government. In Mexico the tax is five dollars pertenencla, and ten pertenencias equal in area the max imum limit of a mining claim un- der the United States law.
 Were Mir. Shannon's proposition put into operation it would shut out any mining claim grabber hold ing more claims than he can pay the tax upon. ..With money to pay at the court house, five dollars worth of work and false affidavit could not bel emade to hold a claim. The full fifty gdollars would have to be forthcoming.

NEW YORK, July s. Some OF the

incnt today as containing hazardous
clements which served as an admoni-
zion TO reduction OF commitments in

considerable party in the speculation
from persisting in the operations Tor
a rise that they have been carrying
on for some time past. between u
few stocks that we're positively
strong and few others that were
actively weak the general list was
almost passive and was pulled this
way and that in sympathy with the
movement in the active stocks that
happened TO be dominant at the time.
Amalgamatcd Copper and st. Paul
were the most conspicuous points OF
Strength and were supposed to reflect
tho continuance of the advertised
congestion for advancing stocks. The
advance in Amalgamated Copper was
accompanied by reports that an
agreement has been reached prac-
tcaly for sales of copper by the
large producers for early deliveries n
concessions from The prices now
quoted and which have induced a
deadlock between buyers and sellers.
The movement in ST. Paul was ascrb-
ed to n purpose to further the demand
for the new stocks of that company,
