Fire at Miama Destroys Depot.

A fire at Miami few days ago starting from an unknown origin, burned the Arizona Eastern freight and passenger depots and several freight cars on the tracks adjoining, to the ground. Despite the brave ef- forts of the Miami volunteer fire de- partment the flames soon sucked the wooden structures up In smoke. The adjoining buildings to the station and freight depot were scorched. but no other damage was done. The loss will be large, owing to the large storage space in the depot and considerable freight being in the cars which were burned. Tbe loss from this course will probably amount to 60,O00s and that of the building to l5,00O$.

the rumor slow or fleet, it wisely does not say.
 It paints out every blemish on the picture of your life. and paints in every virtue of a home that has no strife.
 It learns to read between the lines and find the tender spot, to blow not cold on young or old, when the blow ing should be hot.
 It senses all the skeletons behind the closet door and runs its big blue pencil through the lines that turn them o'er.
 It knows about your weakness, your little streaks of yellow, just how to smother ill reports or make them smooth and mellow.
 It knows what families live in peace, and those most apt to jar, and whether it's just birthmark, or sad domestic scar.
 It knows the man who pays, and the one who could but won't, and all the chronic knockers, and the one who makes "bunt.".
 It knows the financial standing of every man in town, and whether it's living or cheerless giving, that con- stantly keeps him down.

The richest and largest body of cop per ore ever known is that of the Bo- nanza Copper mine at Keenecott, Alaska. All thls remarkable property there originally existed close to 1OO,- GOO tons of ore running 65 per cent cop per. h other words, each ton of ore represents 1900 lbs. of copper and the 1000 tons will yield l3l, ,100,0 ,00O lbs. of the metal. Ore is impressed with this marvelously rich copper deposit when it is understood that to obtain 1900 lbs of copper the vast porphyry mines of the United States must mine 45 tons of ore.-Mining X Engineering World.

Mine Taxation in Idaho.

While the question of mine taxation is fresh in mlnd here in Colorado. where a new plan of taxation is being tried out, it may be of interest to note the practical working out of the plan of taxation followed in another of the mining states of the West.
 Under the law of Idaho, the mines Of that state are required to file each year, during the month of April, a statement showing thelr net profits, or net loss, during the previous year: this statement forming the basis upon which taxes are assessed for the cur. rent year.
 This tax, which is levied upon the net profits, is Tn addition to that paid upon mills. machinery, buildings and all improvements, which are assessed and taxed as are other properties, and is in addition also to flat assessment laid upon all patented mining ground.
 One of the principal mining counties of that state is Shoshone, in the heart of the Occur d'Alene region. The Wallace Miner, in presenting copies of the statements recently filed by the larger companies operating in that county, takes occasion to observe that ''the practice of taxing the net output, all things considered, seems to come near to giving exact justice to all con- cerned."
 The statements filed must contain figures covering the number of tons of ore extracted; gross yield: actual cost of extracting same from mlne; actual cost of transportation and re. duction, or sale: cost of construction, betterments and repairs; net profit.
 A sample statement is that of the Bunker Hill x Sullivan, one of the best known of the Occur d'Alene mines, which shows: Number of tons of ore extracted. 42l,600; gross yield, 3, 435, ,S2547. Actual cost of extracting same from mine, l,0Sl, ,072. 65; actual cost of transportation and reduction, l,2l5, l34 34$: cost of construction, bet terments and repairs, l20, ,597. 7.56$; to- tai cost of 2,4l6, ,SO4. 55S, leaving net profit of l,0l9, ,020. 92$.
 Seven other of the profit earning mines in this county, beside number reporting a small net loss from opera. tions during 1912, have filed their statements for the past year. Accord ing to these reports the Hercules cleared net profit of 7l5, 763$: the Federal M. X S, 653,S76S; the Stewart, 395, 5,345$: the Hecla. 335. 5.6llS: the Suc- cess, lS5, ,936S; the Snowstorm, SS. 77S$, and the Highland Surprise. 4,5l3$. a total for this one county of 3,39S, ,S42S

The Importance of
 Proper Mine Sanitation.

The dangers of mining are from ac- cidents and the failure to maintain proper healthful working conditions. The public is fairly well appraised of the dangers from accidents, but there is less popular regard and appreciation for the menace to the health from un- sanitary conditions. The responsi- bility for the protection of the health of mine workers rests largely on the shoulders of the mine management, but the workers themselves have re- responsibilities which they cannot shirk without suffering the consequences. The management'S responsibilities are concerned with ventilation, drainage, the use of explosives and power, the provision of bathing facilities, sanitary living quarters, etc.
 From the very nature of mining most mines being underground-the difficulty of providing pure alr in which to work IS sometimes great. In tuoSU SldUCS lIC VI ull that must be provided by the venti- lating system for each nan and animal below ground is prescribed by law, but it may not always be sufficient for the maintenance of best conditions to merely obey the law literally. Local conditions may make it advisable to provide better ventilation than is re- quired by law. Some mines or parts of mines may be so warm and moist or foul that the air must be very rapidly changed if the men are not to suffer. No mining company will profit by economlzing in ventilation at the ex pense of the mems health. Unless the men are kept in good physical con- ditlon their efficiency is impaired.
 Mining companies that spend money wisely for the physical welfare of their men are investing their money where it will bring good returns. That this fact is now quite generally realized by the attention that is now being given to sanitation and welfare work by many of the large mining companies The investment made for this purpose is not for charitable reasons. It is the result of commonsense reasoning, the correctness of the conclusions from which has been proven. Experience shows that healthy, contented men give the profitable labor.
 Although, as stated, the men them selves have responsibilities in main- taining proper sanitary conditions be- low ground, it cannot be expected that they will make much effort to protect themselves and others unless forced to In this, then, tho responsibility really rests with the mine management. The men must be made to observe all rules for sanitation, and taught, as far as possible, the importance of the strict observance of these rules. This may be difficult and thankless task, but it's importance cannot be denied.- Mining and Engineering World.

The Prospector.

The fascination that surrounds and envelopes the search for the precious metals is moro subtle and binding on it's votares than the most powerful narcotics. No opium fend is more persistent in his habit than the pros pector once inoculated with the germ and it would seem that the only anti dote for the disease is death, for once prospector, always prospector.
 The desert rat of N vada or the mountain wanderer of the high ranges, is all the same. The world never can know of the deprivations and hard- ships, or of the heroic sacrifices made by these pioneers. Nor does the world recognize their worth in the discovery of the hidden possibilities uncovered by them, not only in mineral sense, but in other economic lines, for the advancement and comfort of the race.
 The gold discoveries of California, ia lS49, and the Alaska excitement of the present century, are cases in point. Men will dare the bitter cold of the Artic circle, or the torrid heat of the tropics; the horrors of tropic levers and it's venomous reptiles, or the horrors of the frozen North, for the yellow metal, to some the root of all evils. to others the source of all earthly joys and pleasures.
 The California pioneers of '49 open ed up an empire to the world, and re. sources greater than the gold output of the centuries were added to the re- sources of the country.
 The Comstocks of Nevada were greater by reason of the discovery of the latent possibilities of Nevada's fertile valleys.
 Alaska has made wonderful produc. tion of the yellow metal, but the vast deposits of coal. iron, copper and other varied resources have come to the front, and it is more than likely that in years to come Alaska will be more famous as producer of wealth from her other resources than from the precious metals.
 Of recent years Nevada has been the exposure of all eyes. owing to the un- precedented amount and high grade character of its gold deposits at Gold field, National and seven Troughs; it's enormous copper deposits at Ely and in the Mason Valley section; the great silver and gold ledges of Tonopah and a hundred other districts, and last, but not least, the recent wonderful de- velopments at Rochester and the Hum boldt range.
 All this is but an incident, and em- phaszes the fact that the waste places shall be populated, and Nevada's min eral resources, found through the ef forts of the prospector. will ultimately populate its fertile valleys and cause the desert to blossom as the rose.
 The world owes d debt it can never repay to the prospector, and the pros pector in turn owes allegiance to the lowly burro and the product of the American hog, bacon, and the diet of the Bostonian Beans.-By R. H.. Young, in Mining Record.

strong protest against it including an
