Protests Against Mortgage Taxation.

Albert Jay Mock is waging war on
the system OF personal property taxa
ton in the United States. He is writ
ing series of articles on the subject
for The American Magazine. In the
April number he goes after indirect"
and "doubler taxation. He thinks that
il is very unfair to tax borrower on
mortgage. He says:
'Ts anything meaner and more petty
than for the state to add to the bur
den of man who is already in debt,
to make man pay extra, above his in
terest, for the privilege of going into
debt This, too, when, as Il rule, those
who borrow on mortgages, especially
small borrowers. are honest and enter
prising and need the money. II is an
outrage TO tax them at ALL and the de.
vice of indirectness is the insult add
ed to the injury.
"Not only is the mortgage tax al
ways indirect, always paid by the bor-
rover. but it is also always double IL

The Santa Ysobel
Mine
BY ANDREW c. EWING
Copyright, 1910. by American Press
Association.

Adrian Burge, young New Yorker,
not satisfied with the prospect ahead
of him and craving more independent
life than could be achieved in the east,
determined to go to the southwest and
grow up with the country. But Burge
soon found that while the country was
growing he was standing still. He
tried clerking for awhile; but, though
he found it easier to obtain position
there than In the east, the salary was
not much better than that paid at
home, and he could not save any more
money. He concluded that If he
couldn't get a better living than in
New York he could at least get more
Independent one, so he turned himself
into cowboy.
His employer, recognizing his superior
ity over the common run of cowpunch-
ers, made quite a pet Of him till he
found thak Adrian was making up to
his daughter Gertrude, then turned
against him. Adrian was discharged.
He did not complain. Indeed, he
thought his discharge the best thing
that could happen to him. What bust
ness had he to be in lover 1t was all
he could do to put bread and butter
into his own mouth without trying to
feed others.
Adrian said goodby to Gertrude Nc
Gregor-it nearly broke both their
hearts to part-and, mounting his horse,
rode away to find some other rancher
who would employ him. The country
he was passing through was old Span
ish territory, whose original occupants
were Aztecs, they giving place to Span
iards or mingling of Aztecs and Span
iards. The Spaniards had come to
America thirsting for the precious
metals and had opened up a great
many gold and silver mines, some OF
which had paid largely, but all had
eventually been abandoned, and the
site Of many of them had been lost.
Adrian had heard of one Of these
mines, the Santa Ysobel, the tradi-
ton said had been worked success
fully till the early part Of the nine
teenth century, when the Indians in
the neighborhood determined to drive
out the whites and commenced a
course of pillage and murder. The
mouth of the Santa Ysobel was closed
and concealed so that neither the In
dams nor any one else except the own
ers could find it again. When the In
dian troubles were over, whether those
who had worked the Santa Ysobel
mine were dead, whether they had
failed to mark the entrance so that the

INF0RMER OWED GRUDGE

A Post Card Found in His

Death.

der and he has served brief sentences
of Imprisonment.
The Gamorrist was not in good voice
yesterday, but he shouted his denials
with considerable vehemence and with
considerable effect, at least, upon the
spectators.
He denied any part in the assassina-
tons and asserted that he had been in
volved in the revelations of the infor-
mer, Gennaro Abbatemaggio, because of
the latter's personal : spite. He dis
charged Abbatemaga from his employ,
he said.
In forming the chain of evidence
against the 80 Camorrists, the cara
bneers claimed to have found in De-
Marinis house postal card addressed
to--bim by Luigi Arena and asking for
the death of Cuoccolo because he had
betrayed the writer TO the authorities
In telling the story of the murders, ABB
batemaggio had said that such a post
card had been written and that inn
mediately upon its receipt by DeMarinis,
ba uCin al
informer also said that DeMarinis took
possession of Cuoccolo's ring for the pur-
pose of sending it TO Arena, who was
in prison, as evidence that he had been
avenged Subsequently the carabineers
claimed to have found the ring at the
homo of woman friend.
Replying to questions by President
Bianchi DeMarinis said that Arena had
never written him. He could not recall
ever having met the witness. He de-
MED that he had received the ring sup
posed to have been taken from the hand
of the dead man.
As for the Cuoceolos, he did not know
either of them At the time Of their
death he was in Naples.
DeMarinis admitted that he was

Adrian was riding along, dreaming
Of some day securing the papers de-
scribing these lost mines and making
q search for some of them. He was
n visionary fellow, much more attract
ed by will-o'thew schemes than
solid drudgery. Like Johnny Look-in-
the-Air fl the nursery tales, he was
building castles when suddenly his
horse went down into a hole. Adrian
succeeding in extricating himself and
by pulling hard on the bride rein In
duced his horse to make an effort to
clear the hole. It was successful, and
Adrian was about to mount and ride
on when he became interested to know
what kind of hole he had fallen into.
1t looked to him as II the earth over
a subsurface cavity had fallen away
and thus formed the hole. But what
kind OF cavity? The idea of lost
mine occurred to him. The only mino
of which he had ever seen a descrip-
ton was the Santa Ysobel, and he re-
membered that this description located
1t under an orchard of ounce trees.
There were few old trees near by,
and upon examination they proved to
be ounce
Adrian resolved to investigate the
hole.
Riding to a ranch, he borrowed pick
and shovel and, returning to the hole.
dug deeper. 1t was not long before
he found himself. sure enough, in the
tunnel of a mine AT one end of the
tunnel was a pile Of silver ore. A
number of tools lay about, and Adrian
saw at once from their make that
they were very old.
One day a wagon drawn by fouc
mules drove up to the McGregor ranch
and a young man well dressed aud
with a prosperous air alighted and
went to the house. Gertrude saw him
coming, and, although at first she
doubted her perceptive faculties, she
soon saw that the conner was Burge.
She opened the door for him. They
stood looking for a moment at each
other. then few into each others arms.
That evening Adrian made a formal
for Gertrude's hand from
her father. He told him how he had
stumbled on, or, rather. into. tile
Santa Ysobel silver mine; how he had
taken a capitalist into his secret
bought the property and upon investi-
CATION had found that when 1t was
closed up the owner had just struck a
rich vein Of ore. Adrian's partner had
him with means to go east
and organize the Santa Ysobel Mining
He had returned, and, the
mine was now in good working order,
turning out tons of silver.
There being no longer reason to sep
arate the lovers, McGregor gave his
and the three celebrated the
betrothal By a visit to the mine. Ger
trude looked down into the hole into
which her lover had sunk and shud-
dered. Then she said:
Had You passed few feet on that
side"-
you would have never been my
wife," replied Adrian.

Chicago, Aug 21.-Braving 80

their machines into the air to satisfy
the thousands that turned out at the
benefit performance in Grand Park
this afternoon for Mrs. st. CroiX
Johnston, whose husband met death
in a 5000 foot fall into Lake Michi-
gan last Tuesday.
At d O'Clock Lincoln Beachey, who
broke the altitude record on Sunday
night, wheeled his Curtiss aerOplane
out of the hangar and started up. In
the strong wind the frail craft rocked
perilously, but Beachey took his ma
chine far above the roofs of the sur
rounding buildings and awed the
crowds with his spiral glides that
have made him the star flyer Of the
entire meet.
Jimmy Ward had narrow escape
from death when, in emu1ating Beach
ey's performance, he dipped over
death dip" where William R. Bad
ger was killed on the same day that
Johnston met his DEATH The wind was
sweeping through the canyons be-
tween the sky scrapers bordering on
Grand Park when Ward went up and
attempted to skim over the lagoon ex-
cavations. The win was from the
Southwest and came with a downward
direction. Ward dropped into the pit
and when he attempted to pick up the
wind held him down and almost fore
ed him against the South wall of the
pit. The wind that held him down,
however held back his progress as
we'll and he missed death by two
feet, as he swept over the declivity.
c. P. Rogers and Howard Gill were
the other men who took chances with
death to help the widow of their fell
low aviator. Estimates of the finan-
cial results Of the day range from
$4,000 to $4,000.
