the council pledged his word as bust

price of gas and make a profit which

COMMENT ON

PROMINENT TAXPAYER HAS A
WORD TO SAY IN BEHALF

The following pertinent comment
on the necessity for the exporting Of

Of one OF the heavy taxpayers OF this
city and county, and speaks for itself
in terms so plain the Astorian will
leave it free Of added comment for
fear Of spelling it:
January 5, 1909,
Editor Astorian: Your remarks
this morning concerning the matter
of exporting the city accounts are
pertinent The examination is not
needd to see whether additions have
been correctly mad e and columns

thority for every warrant drawn and
| it paid out Of the proper fund.
"The notion has gotten into the
mind Of some that considerable
portion of delinquent streets assess
ments have been paid out Of other
than street funds and at the expense
Of the general taxpayer
"The Mayor yesterday called atten-
ton to the fact that $4,000 is the
limit placed by the statute on the
city's indebtedness and that the net
indebtedness now is SlS7, ,49460

real estate? If worthless lots that
the city has taken for street work

stricken off the accounts.

CINE house it should be stricken Of,
because it is not intended they shall

tedness. I
"That would make the city indeb-
tedness then $253,694.6O.
There are two other items in the

HUMPHREY WILL
 ENTER MINING FIELD

w. C. Humphrey, the well known local mining man whose interests heretofore largely have been in Mex ico, has entered the Courtland field, and, as the representative of Boston capitalists, it is announced. has taken bonds on a group of seven claims which adjoin the Copper Queen prop erty in the Turquoise district. Five of these claims have been known as the Brown group and the considera tion named in the bond for this group is $75.000. The other claims bonded raise the amount involved to $S1 900. This deal was put through at Tomb stone yesterday.
 Mir. Humphrey. believing the prop erty he has bonded is great one. is losing no time in beginning deyel, opment work and the first step in this direction was the dispatching to- day by freighters of a diamond drill outfit. Drilling will be started at once and as the ground is we'll sit uated with respect to the proven con tact, it Is believed satisfactory re suits will be encountered at once.
 The property has never been ex- plored to any extent, development work done in the past amounting to 150 feet. Mr. Humphrey hopes to have work under way early next week
