HIDDEN TREASURE
 MINING SALE RATIFIED.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Following negotiations of several days, the sale of the Hidden Treasure mine near Walker was ratified yes terday in this city. By the sale N. L. Griffin, the owner, retires, and E. A. Taylor, H. F. Dyson and J. H. Conner assume the ownership.
 The same purchasers some weeks ago secured the Eberhardt mine and the linking of the two under one man. agement makes a desirable piece of mining property. Preceding the talk ing over of the Hidden Treasure the new firm expended considerable sum in exploiting it, and the re- suits proving satisfactory the sale was consummated. The claims are To- cated on the same Assure as the Mud hole, which in itself is a favorable consideration. Ores from the above two claims were treated in the old Pine Mountain mill, and the yield was high in the free metal and in con centrates. Both locatiors are among the oldest in the district, and in years gone were worked by the aras- tra method, yielding proftably until base conditions resulted through depth. It is the purpose of the new owners to start an extensive system of development at once, and as fast as the openings will permit to place as many men to work as possibly can be accommodated.
 Messrs. Dyson and Taylor some weeks ago also secured the North Capitol mine in the same zone. They are opening that claim with quite force of men, and estimate they have over 200 tons of ore on the dump, with daily output of fifteen tons. This will be treated at the Poland

When MT Alexander, who is now in Prescott on official duty at United States district court, was informed last night of the news from Washing ton, he said: "'I shall not feel a bit sore if do not receive the ap- pointment Morrison is as much en- titled to seek the office as myself However, would like to know where I am at, and when I return to Fhoe- nix I shall wire to the department for a definite decision. Just before I came to Prescott I refused to accept the attorneyship for two mining com panies in Pinal county because it might conflict with my duties as Unit ed States district attorney. and if I am not to be re-appointed I want to know it as quickly as possible. No matter which way it goes, shall be in the harness working for the party when the next campaign arrives"
 When seen, R. E. Morrison, brother of Jos. Morrison, admitted that he had received yesterday morning a tel egram from Washington which con- tained news that was decidedly pleas ing.

In their excitement and the desire to get away from the unsightly condi- tion the men made no examination whatever of the remains, but came on to Kirkland, where they gave out the information.
 Up to the present time no effort has been made to make an examina- tion of the remains, and the body is lying as it fell. There is little travel over that old route, rangemen only going over it occasionally.

Governor Frear--There was until
recently. but under the new act II
has been greatly reduced.
The Chairman-Howd do you regu-
late the traffic In Intoxicating liq-

Governor Frear--A board OF com

OF the senate, for each county. This
board has very wide discretionary
authority In the matter Of granting

but in value It varies from perhaps
$15O,OOO to $25O,OO0 worth a year.
The Chairman-And is that pro-
duction increasing since annexation,
or diminishing?
Governor Frear-It remains about
stationary.
The Chairman--It is about stand
ing still?
Governor Frear-Yes.
The Chairman-As to sugar, how
much of that are you producing now
as compared with the period prior tG
annexation?
Governor Frear-This last crop,
which was $4,000 tons larger than
any previous crop, was $50, 900 tons.
The Chairman-That is cane sugar
altogether?
Governor Frear-Altogether
The Chairman-You have no beet
sugar?
| Governor Frear-No beet sugar.
The Chairman-Are these large
estates devoted to sugar or coffee?
Governor Frear--Some OF them, on
the lower portions of the land, par
ticularly; the arabic parts are In
large measure leased to others.

Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-01-13

Governor Frcar--And In some
cases the price would probably go up
to $500 an acre, where the lands are
already cultivated In sugar cane or
other products.
The Chairman-And you have
more than million and a half acres?
Governor Frear-Yes; but only n
small portion OF II is of that value.
Only small portion is arabic. and
much of that is worth not over $50
an acre. Some good arabic land Is
worth only few dollars an acre. be-
cause of the expense of clearing II of
forest. or Its distance from good
roads.
The Chairman was going to ask
you about how much of that land Is
valuable.
Governor Frear-There are about
900, 900 acres OF II in forest. Of
which $4,000 acres have been set
aside for forest reservations, and It
r. expected that other lands will be
set aside for that purpose, so as to ag
Gregatc 1000 acres. Much Of tn =
other land is too rocky or dry or pre-
cipitous or high to be cultivated.
The Chairman-That Is a pretty
generous reservation.
Governor Frear-I was going to
say that only about 20 per cent Of
the forest reservations are public
lands. Tho rest are private lands.
That being subtropical country, wa
ter is all important and forests are
necessary to insure a constant sup
ply, for without the forests the water
would quickly run of, owing to the
fact that the watersheds are short
and steep.
The Chairman-What kind Of tim
Der is there In those forest reserva-
tions?,
Governor Frcar-Mainly two kinds
of commercial value-the koa, which
resembles mahogany and is a cabinet
wood, and the ohia, which Is very
hard wood and is used principally
for railway ties. A contract wa,
made about a year ago for selling
two and a half million ties of that
wood 10 the Santa Fe Railway.
Senator Flint-They have com
menced to ship ties to the Santa Fl
Railroad? .'-
Governor Frear-Yes; they begar
recently, within the last month.
Receipts and Expenditures
The Chairman--What have thu
revenues been amounting to annual
ly from government lands disposed O
by the Government?
Governor Frear-It amounts Il
s25, 900 or $4,000 a year from sale
and about $l25,00O year iron

The Chairman--And you still hav
, an income tax there?

the counties to issue bonds without
necessarily having the power of tax
alton. At present all the taxes are
collected by the Territory, and then,
under legislative action, certain por-
tons OF them are turned over to tho
counties, thus having simply one set
OF machinery for the assessment and
collection OF taxes. County govern
ment is comparatively new, and Il e.
thought by many that the time has
not quite come 10 turn the matter OF
taxation over to the counties.
Some OF the counties are very anx-
ious TO issue small amounts OF bonds
for much-needed public improve
ments, particularly for making belt
lines Of road around the island. I'm
less this amendment is passed, either
they can not issue the bonds. as held
by the territorial supreme court re-
Gently, or else the Legislature will feel
II necessary to give them the power
OF taxation, which is regarded by
many as inadvisable at present. The
idea is to enlarge the powers of local
government gradually and only as ra-
pidly as seems best.
Senator Warner--What are the
limitations on the amount of bonds
to be issued by counties?
Governor Frear-The amount To be
issued in any one year must not ex.
coed per cent of the assessed value
OF the property, and the aggregate
for the Territory can not exceed
per cent OF the assessed value OF tho
property.

value OF the property In the coun-
ties?
