Returns Completed at Toxic Indicate

tBy Associated Press. ]

TOXIC. March 4.-Returns just COM
pleted by the foreign Office show that
between June and December, 1908. 1884
Japanese left the empire bound for the
United States, while $500 returned from
the United States. OF those returning,
3O31 Travelled third class across the Pa
cifc, which indicates that they We're
of the laboring class, against which the
emigration restrictions of the Japanese
government are specially directed.
The total number of Japanese sailing
for Hawaii from Japan is ISL, while
those returning numbered 1851, or
which number 1856 were third-class
passengers.
During the month of January, 1909,
the foreign office figures show 152 Jap
anese sailed for the United States from
Japan, while 295 returned to Japan
from that country, 264 travelling third
class.
Sailing for Hawaii
In the same month las Japanese
sailed for Hawaii, while 80 returned,
all third class.
The months embraced by these fig
ures include the period in which the
agreement relative to emigrants to the
United States, which was concluded by
American Ambassador O'Brien and the
Japanese foreign Office in January,
1907, became actually operative.
The foreign office points out the ract
that it has required several months
time to perfect a system whereby the
entire field of emigration could be
brought under control, namely, those
months between the conclusion of the
agreement and June, 1908, and that
consequently the showing for the
months beginning in June and up to
the present is the only fair test of the
effectiveness sof the system OF restrlc-
ton employed. The foreign office OFF,
Gals are particularly insistent in call
ing attention to the fact that on the
figures given 1000 more Japanese re-
turned from American territory than
sailed for 1t during the last eight
months; and they state this is ex-
tremely significant of the effective OPP
Grafton of the Japanese governments
agreement with the United States.

NEvADES BULLION TAX
Advantages Gained in Advertising
the State by Good Showing
of Net Results

The GeldHeld Tribune has a very
timely article on the honest payment Of
bullion tax. 1t points to counties who
shout over their tremendous gold
production and fill the newspapers with
their mineral richness. but who are I'M
able to show their bullion tax receipts.
The Tribune holds that the showing OF
a good payment Of bullion taxes gives
the Eastern investor q better idea OF the
mining product Of a county than any
known method of Advertising. A true
statement in the official report showing
what q county paid last quarter in
bullion tax carries more weight than a
page of hot air about the tremendous
value of mining properties which evade
their bullion tax.
The Tribune says: One solitary para
graph from the authoritative agent oil
the State announcing the receipt OF the
bullion tax from the foregoing counties
would be Of more lasting good than al
the rubbish that can be printed through
the generosity and loyalty Of the loca
press. The day for this kind Of worl
has passed and investors are more in
sistent than ever on the submission o.
figures to sustain %pretences Of mel
seeking capital. Prospects that hav'
been developed to the point Of reaching
the shipping list should be ravenous il
their efforts to pay q bullion tax
| Equivocation or evasion Of the Law
naturally leads to a distrust that mus
react on the owner. The Tribune ha
always sought the latest figures Of thi
district and of Tonopah from tn,
Bullion Tax Collector. as experience
has shown such statements obtained
wider circulation than any other forn
Of reports. The collections are Away
reprinted in the Eastern and Western
financial papers, with extended notices
and every promotion house and broker
age firm that issues a pamphlet ha
spread the news to it's thousands o
customers, who can not be reached ii
any other way. That 1t pays to prin
statistics is further evidenced by tn
recent reproduction of an entire from
page Of the Tribune by one Of the larg
est New York firms.

Railroad Bill to Be Amended

Carson, Nevada, January 27.-The Ne
vada Railroad Commission bill, passed
two years ago, will be amended by this
Legislature and both the railroads and
the ants profess to be pleased. The
original bill fixed maximum rates for
hauling various commodities, the Legis.
lature going on the theory that any
Commission would yield to railroad
influence. As soon as the Commits
sioners notified the railroads the rates
must be observed the railroads secured
an injunction. Now it is proposed tc
knock out the maximum rate clause
aud leave the setting Of rates to the
Commissioners. who are to be bound

THE NEW CAMP CAUGHT HIM
Many a Prospeetor Has Gone to a New
Camp to Find Hell

A clever writer in one of the maya
zines who evidently is familiar with the
weakness Of the Nevada prospector,
recently told this amusing story:
By a streak of good luck q Nevada
p~rospector who had crossed the Great
Divide, managed to square himself with
st. Peter and got past the pearly gates.
He hadn't been inside 10 minutes when
he found the streets were paved with
"free milling" aud he at once began to
stake out heaven, until his monuments
were raised in every direction. No kick
might have been made had not an
archangel studded his toe against one
of the monuments. He set up a how
and demanded of st. Peter that some
curb be placed upon the prospector.
st. Peter hunted up the latter and
they held o short whispered conference,
with the result that the prospectol
hastily gathered up his tools and waving
a hasty farewell to the other angels
disappeared through the pearly gates.
"How did you do it?" queried the
astonished Rrchangel. while nursing hi
injured toe.
"Oh," said st. Peter. II just told hin
there had been a big strike in hell anC
they had a townsite already laid out
No Nevada prospector could withstand
that"

Ely, Nevada, January 25.-The strik.

city have for the most part returned to
work at their old schedule Of wages
for eight hours, thus winning out in
the contest with the manager of the
mine. The mine manager reduced the
working day to eight hours and mott
fed the men that there would be a
proportional reduction in their wages.
Every laborer on the works walked out
and the strike was on for several days
Finally the manager, seeing that thu
men were firm in their resolve, agreed
to abandon the idea Of a reduction in
wages.
