STATISTICS SHOW MIN
ING CONDITIONS NORMAL

Periodical statements from the
United States surveyors Offices of the
various western divisions leave no
ground for the supposition that pros
pecting and the patenting of claims
are any less than they have been in
former years. We hear much about
restrictions upon prospecting, but
the purchase of mineral claims from
the government goes on as usual. That
there is great deal of untrodden
ground in the west, still much inspira-
tion left for the man who wishes to
discover new bonanza, is the opinion
that most men have who are following
the business. Strikes of exceptional
Importance are more frequent than the
outsider imagines The real problem
is development and the problem of de-
velopment frequently falls back upon
the problem of capital. All the calims
that are taken from the public domain
will require capital to prove them, un-
less they are sufficiently valuable at
the outset. A survey for patent means
that at least $500 worth of work has
been performed upon claim, but 1T is
only in exceptional cases that so small
an expenditure leads to permanent pro-
ductivity. Outside expenditure is the
usual rule. With the prospeetor, de-
velopment means expenditure of his
own labor, while at times he may be so
fortunate as to sell or to procure finan-
cial aid from others. In any event,
II is a problem which is best answered
by generally prosperous conditions,
which make it easier for men to enlist
capital in their ventures. More pros
porous times are opening up before the
country and this will prove of benefit
to many holder of new ground, as
well as of old Mining Science.

CURRENT TAX BEING
PAID AT LIVELY RATE

That money IS plentiful in Humboldt
county is evidenced by the manner in
which taxes are being paid. County
Treasurer Hoenstine states that during
the eight days that taxes have been
due they have been coming in at a
lively rate and that many are paying
the total tax.
A recapitulation of the tax roll
shows the total real estate value to be
$l0,79S,7S2; personal property, $1,675,-
1874; total, $12,473,976. Upon this
valuation, the total tax levied includ-
ing specials, is $241 ,26s.62. In addi-
tion to this sum, the assessor collected
unsecured personal property and pail
taxes amounting to $6,120.36, on an
assessed valuation of S303,4l9. In ad-
dition to the above amounts, there are
poll taxes aomunting to $l,524.00
charged on the roll.

BALKAN WAR CAUSES
GOLD STRINGENCY IN PARIS

That for the past three weeks gold
in France should have been at pre-
MUM is recognized as one of the con-
sequences of the complications in the
Balkans. 1t is primarily due to the
fact that under the peculiar French
monetary system gold cannot be had
OF demand. France has retained the
double standard, and the 'five-franc sill
yer piece is an unlimited legal tender.
1t cannot, however, be exchanged for
gold at the will of the owner. The
French government has never under
taken to maintain the parity of the
metals after the manner of the United
States. 1t has avoided the deprecia-
tion of the fivefranc silver piece by
suspending its coinage, and it has
practically left the regulation of the
institution, whose holdings of gold are
among the largest in existence, is free
to pay out gold or to refuse to pay it
out at its discretion.
That is why, when there is an ex-
eeptional demand for gold, as at the
present time, it goes to premium;
but this upward movement is not con
strued by experts as possessing any
sinister significance. 1t simply means
that large number of people not
liking the looks of things in the
Balkans, are providing themselves
with some ready money, and are aceu-
mulating it in the form that is always
and everywhere available. They are
boarding currency, as was done here
with such unfortunate results in the
autumn of 1907, and when their ap-
prehensions have been dispelled their
boards will be returned to the chan
nels of circulation. That some more
or less serious Inconvenience will be
experienced during the interim is more
than likely, but no doubt is felt as to
the inherent soundness of the financial
situation.
II will be remembered that the
LIQUID capital of France is extraordi-
narily large. 1t holds foreign invest
ments to the amount of $S,000,0 100000,
from which its people derive an an
nual income of $400.000,000, and the
totality of its own debt is owned at
home. This means that the French
holders of home and foreign securities
each year derive thereform a revenue
of $1,000 100000. Partly from this
source and partly from other savings
the sum of $400,00O,000 is annually adj
ded to the national fortune In the
light of these figures it is not surprls.

Turkey between them are indebted to
France creditors in total of $500

thrift of the French people.-Philadel-

tlon thereto a life insurance for all
employees having relatives dependent

cldent occurring in the performance of

Western Union company to give ex-
preston to the company appreciation
of loyal and efficient service of EN-
ployes and the above designated new
plan secures to the 10000 employees of
this company from January 1st, a
much more comprehensive and liberal
arrangement in regard to benefits than

OF
inland ALASKA

The full industrial development Of
inland Alaska is possible only by con.
structing railways that will furnish
transportation to open ports on the
Pacific. Though Alaskans have long
been elamoring for adequate transpor-
tation facilities, the general public
outside of the territory has only re-
Gently begun to understand that the
opening of the mineral wealth and
arabic lands of this great empire is q
matter OF national Importance. Many
plans have been proposed for building
railways in Alaska either by public or
by private enterprise, and various
measures are now before congress deal
ing with this spbject.

TINS situation "a report isseud by the

briefly summarizes all the data avail
able bearing ON the location of a rail
way which shall connect Fairbanks. on
the Tanana, with one of the several
possible coastal terminals on thePacific
seaboard. The distance to tidewater
by the several routes varies from $50
to over 600 miles. Experienced engi-
neers have estimated the average cost
per mile of constructing this line at
$4,000.

Central Alaska has produced from its
placers gold to the value of $75,000,-
