HELP TRE MINER IN
 ALASKA Present System Of Stalking and Assessment Wrong DIG O2 GET OFF TIE CLAIM
Laws Should De Passed Which Would Make il Expensive to Hold Claims for Speculative Purposes Only; Prospect DTS Would Then Have a chapce

The present laws relating to claim stalking and assessment work are responsible for a large amount of splendid mining ground lying idle at the present time in Alaska. Speaking on ttese lines before the American Mining Congress at Ne vada recently, E. F, Kirby sug- gested that the present assessment clause be amended, and cash pay ment of SIoo per claim added
 MT. Kirby argued that a tax of S1oo, instead ot intlicting hard ship on the prospectOr would have the reverse effect, inasnuch as it would throw open a very large area Of valuable ground al present being held for speculative purposes. The prospector would then have a larger field and greater chance of reaping q reward for his years Of labor
 For example, syndicates ot capi- talists can, and do, under the pres ent laws, hold enormous areas of ground, and 1t is impossible for the government to find out whether as sessment work is regularly done on these large holdings. As matter of fact 1t is got done. But under the tax system these corporations would have to pay Sroo on each claim or let their claims lapse. On a twenty thousand acre holding they would have to pay ar annual tax ot SIoo, ,OOo. and they could not af- ford to do this for long unless they worked and properly developed their property.
 On the other hand, in order not to infiCt hardship on those who were working in a small way, the government could remit the whole or part Ot the taxation on the first claim ot 20 acres. This would be ample protection for the poor miner who was willing to work his own ground, but would rarely be neces- sary, as, owing to the large amount of mining ground which would be thrown open, the prCspeCtor would not find 1t necessary to hold a poor claim, and therefore he would pay no tax thereon. He would only pay on the claim that was yielding him good return for his labor.
 This is what Mir. Kirby says:
 It will be argued that a tax of SIoo, to say nothing of additional state and county taxes, would ruin the prospector. As a matter of fact, 1t will have exactly the oppo- site effect and nothing can be more to his benefit than measures which tend to check monopoly and force everyone to dig, or get off the claim. Suppose he has to let go 'ot his single clai,n9 What has he made out oi it? I, has never yield ed him anything but dreams. Are not hundreds Of thousands of claims, just as good or better, now thrown open to him to prospect, or to hold when he pleases' It is simple arithmetic. Lose one and gain a hundred thousand, which is the better? Will not the surface of the earth once more be open to him to prospect as in the old days? To- day it is shut off, staked and monu- mented as lar as the eye can see.

In holdup of industry? Don't you want to destroy the value of such investments? Scare what in- vestors, Those who want to dig; to do real mining to build mills; smelters; railway; towns? On the contrary you will draw them in swarms. because when holders have to dig or get of the claim all who have claims worth mining, will make their offers for working capi- tai attractive enough to get it.
 What first excites and draws in vessors into mining ventures is the chance to find ore by actual dig ging. This is what they ask for It is the chance of discovery, and not the acreage oi a property which brings their money At first they are not. as rule, interested in the other game of waiting to hold up some future producer, and, in fact, do not even think Of this, unless fortune turns against them and work comes to a standstill. Then they naturally want all the chances for salvage that the rules permit, and paralysis ensues. Is 1t not right to say to these men: vou have had a miner chance, sorry your money is lost, but 1t is gone and there is no reason why you 1 should take 1t out ot some other mans pocket; these claims are worthless until ore is discovered and mined the state wants this done, and will not let you paraly2e it's mining industry; if you are through digging, get off, so that some one else may dige That is i what the common sense of miners has always said. 1t is what the mining laws of the world have al ways said, but with a feeble voice { Is 1t not time tO say It now with a loud voice and make it goo Dig or get off the claitnl

 Even idle holders theDselves see that they have brought on dead lock which is not to their advant age. Very few really make any money at it. Men grow old and sink into the grave, still dreaming of the purchaser who never comes In the great majority of cases, all that holders will really lose by the proposed change in the rules, aIe their visions, their hallucinations In exchange for these, there will be countless opportunities Of re- ijuvenated industry. Is it not as clear as day that by the pressure of increasing taxation, every claim may be forced into use, Or releasedo } When from Mexico to Alaska every claim is either working, or open to prospectors, does 1t take a prophet to See the result Does not every miner, every operator know Of places where he would like to dlgo After the real mining indus try begins, cannot every one toresee in its general, steady and perma- nent prosperity, a better living and more chances tor a fortune than are possible under the present par alysis''

TELLS ITS OWN STORY
Washington, D. c., Associated Press.
At a meeting of Associated Public
Hospitals Managing Physicians today,
DR.. Ross. Superintendent Hospital, But
falo, New York, said:
''There was given IN our Hospital IN
America three hundred percent less
drugs than ever before in their history,
and many new Hospitals now have no
drugs given in them"
Think of that, you who are prejudiced
against Osteopathy.
In ten years a Doctor who gives drugs
will excite as much curiosity as a can
nibal would turned loose in your streets
People viii point to him and say: There
goes a man. who thought he could cure
a sick man by poisoning him." He
gave him calomel and eat his liver into
ulcers. OF course the man is dead now.
Six thousand of them died in five
years here in FL Paso, while only six out
of six thousand at the DR.. A. t. Still Os-

easy to cure by Osteopathy.

ing in dogs almost any disease desired,
