he refused to lend himself to the plans
OF Napoleon for the restoration of Po-
land are recalled by the inscriptions on

Driven to this country by an unhappy
love affair, he saw the new repuoic es-

Before people threw fits oyer N

Before people threw fits oyer Major Richardson's proposition to let owners of mining clsims pay $l00 into the road fund instead of expending it or labor upon the claim it might be we'll to consider the effect in either case. The .Cerdova North Ster editoriaEly and c. M. Frazier in 6 letter to that paper instantly objected before the ink on the message was dry. They assume that every $1Oe so diverted t0 the road fund would be so much sabtracted from mining development. Now what dc you think of that? II any given sum Of money can do more toward mining de7elopmentdnG any country In any other way than by going into roads, the fact is'e new discovery. The absolute necessity for roads and trails to mines is so fully recognized that money and labor expended upon them has always been considered as legiti- mate method Of doing annual assess meut work upon mining claims. In every mining state a2d territory annual labor is done every year that way. Where, then, is the diabolicai outrage of permitting man to pay money into the federal road fund instead of paying it directly to labopers to build roads for him2 Until roads gre built into district cost of getting in suppEee is an iRtelerable burden, and that cost ie legitimately taxed es annual labor up on,claims. 1t has run as high as 5l pound. How much mining develop .ment does q claim owner do for SlOO when it costs him Sl pound to get in his grub? It costs only few cents pound to take sGppkes to the inside over the government road today. The recommendation that mining claims be taxed S5 annually requires more study than any other. The miners will gen orally object end it might work more harm than good iu actual operation. It is safe to predict that the lloudest yell ageinsG it will from the men who do their ressessment work by aftidavits. Valdez Prospecter.
