TAXATION Of UTAH
MINES IS QUESTION
Amendment to Constitution Is
Soon 10 Be Voted Upon
in This State.

The principles OF mine taxation, as de-
| rived from experience, have occupied the
| attention in recent years Of scver, state
| legislatures In the west. The question
was before tho Colorado assembly two
years ago and Will probably make its
appearance again next winter as an incl
dent 10 the necessary revision of the
revenue law. Two ycurs ago tho Utah
legislature arranged TO submit consti-
tutlonal amendment which Will he the
subject OF 4 vote November y. The pro-
posed section is very clear In nnuncintluE
the principle that metal bearing land,
as such, is not the real criterion Of taN-
able value as applied 10 the mining in
dustry, but leaves the Inference That tho
proper criterion is the productivity OF
the property,
Experience has pretty generally led to
ihc emphasis Of this view. while IL Is Of

believe that TAXATION should be used 10

jim BUTLER MORE
LIKELY THAN EVER

The Jim Butler mine looks more encour-
aging now than at any time In the last
re" months such being the opinion OF
the management. In other words the re-
cent development on the sixth level oi
the Wondering Boy shaft gives better in
dlcations for the development OF n good
ore nody at greater depth than in any
other part OF the mine or at any previ-
Gus period of It's operation.
This crosscut on the sixth level has now
penetrated for over sixty feet a zone
through which are vast number OF seq
inents or veins many OF which carry excel
lent values and some show very high
grnde ore. These vary In width from a
few inches to three feet and on the widest
Of these an cast drift Is being run IN
which the ore varies In width and some
times reaches TO the top Of the drift, but
more often does not, This is solid quartz
carrying very good values with some rich
ore In lunches and as 1t is solid and bet
ter In the bottom Of the drift the Infer
ence is that greater depth is required,
ihis level being only 51A feet deep.
A wfnze will now be sunk In the ore
zone and cutting out for station for an
underground compressed air hoist IL in
progress and this will be Installed In a
few days, This wlnze Will first be sunk
100 feet and the ore zone from this point
Will be crosscut from wall to wall
An old northeast crosscut on this level
is also being cleaned out and from this
Il drift Will be started southeast on a mi
nor fault. which shows drag quartz car
rying good values
On the 300-foot level the vein in the
stope split and portion has dipped into
the footwall and the stope is being carried
up on the hanging wall branch, which is
from fiye to seven feet wide. From what
is known Of the upper workings there is
good reason to believe that the footwall
branch Is much better grade and n cross
cut Will now be run from the stopc to
pick this up. The north crosscut on this
level WAS extended the usual distance
and is now cutting some small seams Of
ore.
Tine east drift on the first level was
advanced the usual distance on low grade
quartz and a crosscut Will now be started
to prospect for the Valley View series Of
veins.
The usual amount OF 600 tons was
shipped this week TO the old Belmont mill.

There has been good deal Of discus

question whether the increase in gold
production which has been, so marked in
the last decade is going 80 continue.
Most of this has been in connection with
the assumption that the purchasing

Where Leasers Failed.

Further development, however. makes
1t appear that this is one OF the same
great vein syste traverBing this part
of the district. The lease shaft, now the
main company shaft, and which was sunk
to depth OF 1886 feet, passed through
this big vein at a depth of less than 700
feet, and, after passing through the vein
crosscut was driven to open the vein at
about $50 feet. At the point where vein
matter was penetrated by this crosscut
the orc had pinched TO narrow stringer

not successful, although they opened

Arguments Both Ways.

Whether the production OF gold in the
world has reached its maximum for the
present or not is question which is also
OF considerable difficulty There arc in
dicafions which point both ways, and it Is
not altogether easy 10 balance them. Nor
is il safe To look too far into tho future
without seriously endansering ones rep
utation as a. prophet. A good authority
mas recently ventured the prediction that
production Will decline. but his argyll
blent Involves certain assumptions which
not everyone will be willing TO accept
We can. however, to take UP only a
small part Of the subject, put together
some facts which cover the production OF
the present year-three- quarters of which
have now passed-and these seem TO In
dicats THAI the gold output OF 1912 will
not greatly eNceed-if it exceeds al all
that OF 1911. Without exact data from
most Of the larger producers. there are.
nevertheless, sufficient facts known 10
point 10 this conclusion. The largest q nd
most important producer at the present
tme is the Transvaal and that country
is showing an Increase this year from
which the worlds gain must come If IL
comes at all. In the United States such
returns as we have point TO output
