Special 10 The News.
JACKSON, Miss, November A.
Col. H. NJ. Street, speaker of the low.
er house of the Legislature, has come
out squarely in favor of the PROPOSE
ton to exempt from taxation all
money loaned at rate of interest
not exceeding six per cent, as a means
of inducing foreign capital to invest
in Mississippi.
This subject is commanding a large
measure of attention as the legisla.
tive session approaches, and will be
one Of the most important brought
before the body. The business and
industrial interests of the state are
giving it their cordial support, and it
is believed that they will have a for
midable sentiment created by the
time the lawmakers convene.
Several of the states leading com.
mercial organizations have recently
adopted resolutions endorsing the plan
and one of the most convincing and
effective arguments being used is the
fact that the state will lose virtually
no revenue through such an exemption
as only small amount of actual
money or solvent credits are reported
for assessment each year; that the
exemption will inevitably mean low
ering of the interest rate, which is
nowfrom seven to ten per cent, will
make money cheaper, and cause an
influx of capital from outside states.

Up at Columbus the good people
had never heard of Arthur Brooks,
but they were willing to receive him
with proper honors, and take it for
granted that he is an American citi-

really is, but not in the way that the
committee imagined. Therefore, Ar

the presidential carriages to ride with
three citizens of local distinction.

made very careful inquiry regarding
the construction of the levee system

that Mississippi has two aspirants for

TOMBSTONE. Sept, 12.-Word has
been received here of the probable early
resumption of work on the Bunker Hill
group of mines in this district. This
property has a record of early pro-
duction and is regarded as one of the
valuable properties of the district,
being located between the Grand Cen

company, and is claimed to have large
bodies of ore in sight which can be
profitably worked.
Henry A. Allen & Co. of Chicago are
believed to have secured bond or
control of the property and it is report
ed that steps will be taken to reopen
the famous Tombstone producers. Inc
property is equipped with hoisting
works and double compartment SMART

EUREKA ANNEX WILL
EXHIBIT FANCY ORE

GOLDFIELD, Sept 12.-Oscar j. Lee,
who has just returned from the Goid
mountain district. says he recently
took over the property of the EUREKA
Annex, which is recognized as one OF
the best properties of that section, ana
from which selected specimens Tor eN-
hibition at the American mining con-
gress would easily run from 800 20
$4,000 to the ton.
The ore is gold and silver, and comes
from the fifty-five-foot level, where a
crosscut eighteen feet discloses the
width of the ledge and indicates per-
manency. While the ground is recog-
nized as much broken, it is the inten-
tion of the management to drop to the
102-foot level, where drifting and cross
cutting will be started in the hope OF
picking up the vein as it appears on
the upper levels.
Mr.. Lee is of the opinion that the
Gold mountain district is to oecom2
one of the most important in the state,
and maintains that the values met with
there are sufficient to warrant the
statement that with proper develop
ment some of the greatest mines of

CLAIM ON WINNEMUCCA
MOUNTAIN YIELDS ORE
CARRYING FREE GOLD

WINNEMUCCA, Sept. 12.-While do
ing work on the Roosevelt claim,
owned by F. C. Robins on Winnemucca
mountain, ore showing large colors OF
free gold has been uncovered. The
rock not only shows the yellow metal
but has high silver values as we'll
AS the ore is of the shipping grade,
the owner will put men to work and
develop the ledge, which has every evil
dence of being permanent.
The claim where the rich ore was
disclosed is situated in what is known
as Spring canyon, northerly from the
bridge across the Humboldt river at
this place.
The finding Of this ore with free gold
is important and may lead to other
discoveries of the yellow metal on the
mountain. This district is thoroughly
from one end to the other,
and there are many claims showing
high grade gold ore, but few have rock
with visible gold, as is shown in the
ore exhibited by Mr.. Robins.
For years float has been picked up
in the gulches along the east side of
the mountain, but this is the first
find of the free gold ore in the place
and may have a tendency for further
research for the yellow metal on Win
nemucca mountain.

TUCSON, Sept. 12.-J. II. Award. a

city from WiCkenburg, is exhibiting
samples of ore from a new property
owned by him and William Moffett of
Phoenix, fourteen miles above Wick
enburg on the bank of the Hassayam-
pa. AS yet the property has not even
been given a name, Though a shaft has
been sunk a hundred feet and the well
defined ledge has been uncovered for
several hundred feet by open cut work.
The mine was discovered by an old
prospeetor who disposed Of his find to
Messrs. Award and Moffett at a price
which they considered extremely low.
1t was nothing more than prospect
at that time, however, and now 1T can
safely be termed real mine.
THE ledge shows on the surface for
about 1900 feet and the ore taken out
of the open cut runs high in gold for
surface rock. At the bottom of the
