Tax on Unpatented Claims.

The decision just handed down by the
supreme court of the United States,
that state has right to collect tax on
unpatented mining claim, ought not to
cause any alarm among those who hold
unpatented ground in Idaho. While it
is evident that some states assess on
ground before patent is secured, Idaho
has thus far been content to levy tax
on only what is actually produced by
the property.
The aim Of the state and the national
laws under which title to tracts in the
public domain can be acquired is to
make it easy for those who take the
land with intention to make use of it
in the line to which it is adapted. The
resources of a country must be de-
veloped. The $500 the general govern
ment rquires to be spent in development
of mining claim each year is burden
enough for the average prospector,
while state tax would take away from
the claim holder money that could be
spent with profit on the ground. OBJ
viously there is less hardship on claim
holders in old and established mining
districts, like those in Colorado, or in
lead or silver districts, but Idaho, a
state that has yet to prove itself as a
producer of the precious yellow meta
would make a serious mistake if ii
taxed unpatented mining claims.

June morning embarked on the Clear
water to shoot ducks. Accidentally on
purpose he drifted down into the Snake
river which swept him to the Washing
ton side. The boat was traded for a
horse. and buggy which took him to
Walla Walla. In due time he reached
Boise, never returning to Lewiston.
The property. of the territory was
finally moved to Boise which ever since
has remained the capital. The dis
affected northern portion Of the state
then tried to secure a division and an
nexation to Washington territory.
Congress passed q, bill granting this but
it was never signed by the president.

Tho Kind That Arc Used on the Big
Plate Glass Wagons.

TtAt0 dt&. VoSSVSs
Probably about as costly a sort Of
mattress as any is one that Is made
not to sleep on at all, but to spread
on the long, broad table q platform or
the wagons built for carrying plate
glass.
These mattresses, which are made OF
curled hair, are very thin, scarcely
thicker than q comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care to In
sure perfect uniformiH of thickness.
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate Of glass resting upon
1t, and there would be still greater
danger If the weight Of two plates OF
glass was rested on the lump at once.
A mattress for plate glass wagon
costs, according to size, from 500 to
SIS In use the corners of smaller
plates carried on 1t cut into the tick
ing covering, and sooner or later it has
to be made over Simply to make over
such a mattress' costs from 500 to SIS.
On the table topped and mattress
covered glass wagons the biggest
plates are carried with confidence and
safety The table is built to remain
absolutely rigid, and the thin but uni
form mattress protects the plate from
jar.
Before plate glass store fronts had
come into common use, when the han
ding of big plate was counted as a
good deal more of job than it Is now,
they used to carry great pane Of
glass In sort of frame, which was
put on the wagon with the glass in it
At it's destination this frame or sup
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk to the store front, where the
glass was dislodged from 1t to be set.
and altogether the setting Of great
plate Of glass was then quite an un-
dertaking.
Now, with the setting Of such plates
common daily occurrence and with
men skilled in the handling Of them,
they simply carry big plate out and
lay it on their mattress covered table
topped wagon and carry it to where
1t Is to go and there slide it off, to rest
it for moment on blocks on the side
walk, and then they pick it up and
carry 1t to the window front
Then they run under the lower edge
Of the glass lifting straps, by which
men standing inside the window as
well as men standing outside can lift

be withdrawn, and then the blocks are

care, but still with comparative ease
and quickness and with certainty, and

are thus moved and set on all but the
windiest days.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

the regular service. The life of a mail
dog is from three to four years. No

than to lay a dog off from service.

Ciudad Juarez, Mex, Nov. 3.-If
reports from Hermc sillo, the capital
OF Sonora, Mex, received officially
here, are authorized. by subsequent
events the Yaqui Indian trouble in
the state of Sonora is at an end. To
bring about peace the Mexican gov.
eminent has recently employed the
unique methods of fighting Indians
with Indians, with modern rifles and
putting them into the field to hunt
down the Yaquis.
In the battle near Altar yesterday,
when 40 Yaquis were killed. their
chief, Ole Bule, and his son, known
as Powder Face, both met death.
They are flocking into Hermisillo, it
is said, asking for peace.
Gen. Luis Torres the governor, Is
treating with them. But he will
probably be very chary about accept
ing thei rovertures, as once before,
several months ago, the Yaquis came
in to sue for. peace and after max
ing many promises broke out again,
and have been fighting ever since.
