 Tax Net Production.
 MT Campbell also took occasion to express his opposition of the prop osition of taxing tho gross production Of mines, favorins instead the taxa tion of tine net production, saying that it worked hardship on the small miner and irterfered with the devci- opment of mines, which he said was "the meat in the cocanut' for Arizo- ma The whole effect of the system of taxing the gross production CT mines. he said.

If the production of a mine in these states does not equal twenty-five Ter cent of the gross. flat rate of S25 is collected In the past the mine owners have opposed the idea because they said it was in- Cuistorial but this argument is be- coming less often urged.

Wellington v. Chichester Con
cludes a Long and Honor
able Mortal Career.

WESTON. Jan. 1S.-The many
friends throughout the state viii
learn of the death of Wellington v.
Chidester with deep regret. For a
number of weeks Mr.. Chidester sui
fered with paralysis and his death
had been hourly expected, but when
the end came no one was prepared
! for the death of one who had been of
SO much use and good to his COM
munity. A native of Virginia he had
all the noble traits of his mother soil.
Had he lived few months longer he
would have reached his eighty-sev-
enth birthday. He was always active
in life, was a merchant for number
of years at vandalia, where he served
1.-The people in a way during the Civil
war that won kindly feeling toward
him that was never forgotten. He
was one of the first county survey
ors in this county after West Virginia
succeeded Virginia. For years he
served in the capacity of justice Of
the peace, and when a case was
brought before him for, trial no de-
icisions but just ones were ever rem
dered. He was a Christian in the
broadest sense Of the word. He not
l!only had his name on the church book
but he did much for the poor and
suffering which excelled all else.
After he came to Weston to make
his home he was regular attendant
when able, at the Methodist Protest
ant church. His chair was on the
rostrum with the minister and was
more often filled than found vacant.
He leaves three sons, j. c., Roy ",
and Frank, the latter of whom is To-
Gated in Denver, but who was here
during the illness of his father. His
first wife has been dead number Of
years, but his last wife survives him,
and she is a highly respected woman
ever administering to his, many wants
during his protracted illness. His
two daughters reside near here.
Funeral services were conducted
from his late residence on Center
avenue last evening at o'clock and
interment was made at the George
town cemetery, near his former home
this forenoon. The funeral was
largely attended here and the floral
offerings were very beautiful. The
funeral procession went from here
this morning by hack to the cemetery
distance of ten miles.
