JAPS DISCUSS TARIFF.
Will Adopt Democratic Slogan, "Tarif
for Revenue Only"

Toxic. Wednesday. Dec. Tariff re-
vision and the treaties of commerce
are now occupying the time and atten-
ton of almost the entire government
forces in Toxic. At the coming session
of the diet, statutory rates VIII be fixed
for number of articles and changing
to very considerable extent the pres
ent tariff.
Some conventional tariff will be left
to the treaties. but this will not be the
general rule in the drawing of treaties,
because it is the intention of Japan
henceforth to establish her own tariff
without regard to conventions.
Eleven years ago it might be said
that the Japanese knew nothing about
the framing of such treaties and little
if anything of the details concerning
tariffs. Since that time. however, this
question of tariff has been given much
attention and a force of experts has
been at work continuously for several
years.
1t Is estimated that Japan will not
adopt a high protective tariff. but will
endeavor to take middle course of a
tariff for revenue only, incidentally
however, protecting a number Of her
own interests. At present. the tariffs
are uneven and in some cases consid-
cred unjust and exorbitant. These
cases are now receiving the attention of
the government.

GOVERNOR SPRY ISFOXEY
Utah Executive Says Jeffries Can't
Fight in Salt Lake Altitude.

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-"I do not
think the Jeffries- Johnson prize fight
will ever be held in Salt Lake City,
said Governor William Spry of Utah
last evening.
The governor and his party ar
rived in this city yesterday to attend
the launching of the battleship Utah.
When seen at the hotel. although
! the governor would not commit him
self, his evasive answer left little
doubt in the minds of his hearers as
to the real meaning of his reply.
In order to make matters sure,
however, he was asked directly
whether or not he would permit the
fight to be pulled off in Salt Lake
City.
ct is not a question of what I. in
my official capacity should allow
said he, smilingly. THE fact is this:
Jeffries has been accustomed to fight
ing in San Francisco, and really, gem
tlemen, I do not think that he would
be able TO fight in the high altitude of
Salt Lake City,

Paris, Dec 2a.-At the Theater Des
Arts last evening I'm Occur
D'Homme," C"The Heart of a MANI.
a play in four acts by Nine Sarah
Bernhard, was produced.
Paul Sarnois, an author about 81
years old, has married a young and de-
lightful person, Sabine. After a few
happy months Paul's romantic spirit
leads him to fall in love with his wife's
own godmother, person in the forties.
Nine. De Valreal resists the young
mans attention until he runs away and
consoles with a demi-mondaine, who, it
seems, is her exact counterpart. Then
she sends for Paul in the secret hope of
inducing him to return to his wife. The
result is brought about, but not as
Nine. De Valreal planned, for the wife
discovers her with her husband. Nine.
De Valreal as a result commits suicide,
while the young couple become recon
ciled.

Battle Mountain. New, March A. Hi
Top, the new discovery twenty miles
southeast of this place is barely sixty
days old yet, it has three rich shipping
properties and a fourth making prep.
arations to ship. Fully $4,000 in the
aggregate has been received by the
samplers in Salt Lake during the past
two weeks.
No camp discovered in recent years
in this state can equal this record.
The first shipment made was from
the Hill Top Mining company s ground
and consisted of two tons of carefully
selected ore that netted better than 50
per pound. The forty sacks were ship
ped from Battle Mountain by express.
The second shipment was made last
week from the Philadelphia Western,
the consignment amounting to twenty
tons Melted the owners better than
$500 per ton. Closely following the
latter was six tons from the Maysville
property owned by Kattenhorn broth
ers that gave returns of $3.50 per tor.
The latter is a silver property.
Big Lodges at Hill Top.
A few miles to the west of Hill Top
is the Betty O'Neill whereon several
~leasers have lately commenced opera
tions. A strong ledge averaging six
feet in width has been opened on this
ground and the first shipment of high
grade ore will probably go forward this
week. With this array of shipping
properties to it's credit the Hill Top
district is surely deserving of more
than ordinary interest.
In what may be strictly termed the
Battle Mountain mining district, is the
Buzzard, which recently shipped $500
sacks of ore that Melted close TO
$4,000. Another shipment of equal
proportions will be made from this
estate in a few days.
p. j. Quealy, the wealthy coal opera
of Rock Springs, Wyoming, recent
ly bonded the controlling interest in

HILL TOP CAMP HAS THREE
SHIPPERS AT 80 DAYS OLD

made as they fell due. Christopher )
Nelson and Martin Christopher, bot
of Rock Springs, were the original loea
tors, and at present are minority hold
crs in the mine.
Philadelphia Western.
The controlling interest in the Phila'
delphia- Western is owned by Morris b
Dudley, a former theatrical man, and
II. G. Christensen, well known in min
ing circles in this state. This company
is sacking ore from an eighteen-inch
streak in the Blackmer shaft at a depth
of 80 feet. The second ear will be
/ shipped to Salt Lake this week. This
shipment will greatly exceed in value
its predecessor.
The camp of Hill Top has a popula-
ton of about $50 people, there being
about fifty men on the pay roll. A
two story hotel has recently been
erected and most of the buildings are
substantial wooden structures.
Plenty OF water.
Thirty inches of mountain spring
water flows Town Crum canyon sum
mer and winter, assuring plenty of
water for domestic and milling pur-
poses.
The new strike is reached in an hour
and forty minutes by automobile, and
three and one-half hours by horse
stage.
Lots in Hill Top are selling from
900 to $500 each, there being consider
able trading in the real estate business.
There has been no effort TO circulate
the worth of the new camp; the own
ers of the mining properties being too
busy getting the gold out of the ground
to attempt a townsite boom.
Battle Mountain feels the effects of
the steady influx of strangers from
all parts of the country and the hotels
are crowded nightly, beds being made
in the pariors and dining rooms of the
several hostelries. The town authori-
ties are kept busy driving the tramps
onward who have lately been infesting
this place owing to the reports circu-
lated about the new discovery and the
town Jail is crowded to the limit night
" with this class of undesirables.
