GETTING RICH IS NOW DEAD EASY
(Continued from page 1.)

that piece of ground. Suffice it to say that we intend to have every dol lars worth of gold taken from the ground and distributed in dividends to the fortunate shareholders" l Of course. that is all right, but then, instead of distributing every dollar as dividends, usually it is nec- essary to spend some of them in get ting the gold out. That is, on an ordinary claim. But when one can run his shovel in and pick up a piece of gold the size of your finger, it is probable that the operating ex- penses will be little or nothing.
 To the initiated, the fact that the company owns claim means nothing. Alaska is full of mining claims that can be purchased for $50 each and even less.
 Do you know" said Beeks, that country up there is remarkable. A man told me yesterday that all over the place all you had to do was pull up the grass, shake the earth which clings to the roots over a gold pan, wash it out and you will find gold. It is so rich that the gold hangs to the very grass roots."
 Continuing, Beeks told me of cus- toms of the country which, in spite of my years in the North, had nev- CT heard. He said:
 Mining and trading will not be the only source of revenue that the company will have. In addition to that we will make much money on the gold dust we take from the min CTS.
 Stock Already Rising.
 You know, in that country, they al ways discount the gold dust 20 per cent In other words, if a miner has $1,OOO worth of gold, the merchant will allow him only $500 for it in trade. You see, the gold will lose largely through abrasion when it is shipped out, and the company has to protect itself. Of course it will not lose 20 per cent, and what is saved IS profit"
 Then the gold must be very soft" 1 ventured.
 "Oh, yes," said Beeks, knowingly. This is pure gold. You can take a piece of it in your hand and dent it with your thumb nail"
 1 commenced to wonder what chance a poor miner would have with company such as he said his was. 1 asked him about the profits which were to be expected from his com- pany, and he said that about 800 per cent would be fair return to make on the money invested.
 "Of course," he added, you know you are not buying government bonds, and that there is certain amount of risk attached"
 IllS statement sounded fedSOnaDle.
 The stock in the mining company is now quoted at F cents, 2 cents more than when it was first put on the market. This increase, said MT. Beeks, is because the outlook for the company is so much brighter than it was at first. But, he added, he had block of 1000 shares for which woman had contracted and then re- fused to take, which he would sell me for 10 cents. This offer he as sured me would not remain open long.

HEAVIEST TAX ON BIG INCOMES

Washington, Sept. 1.-The burst
OF Democratic insurgency which
lifted the tariff revision struggle
out of the routine channels in the
senate last week is to have Its final
hearing in a u of senate Dem
ocrats to be held late today or to-
morrow. The Democratic members
of the finance committee who have
undertaken to compose the differ
ence in the party ranks and devise
a compromise income tax provision
to meet the demands of the 'insur-
gents" worked throughout the day
over these and other features of the
tariff bill and will be ready to re-
port to the aucu by tonight.
AS a result of fight led by Reed,
Vardaman, Thompson, Ashurst and
others of the so-called "insurgent"
forces, the bill will be revised as
to its income tax provisions and a
heavier tax levied on large incomes.
This change will be against the
judgment o fmany of the party
leaders who helped frame the bill
and who point out that its proposed
4 per cent tax on incomes over
100000 is as high as the tax in
other countries, but the "insur-
gents" hold enough votes to con-
troll the situation and to force the
adoption OF some of the radical
amendments proposed by LaFollette,
Bristow, Borah and others.
1t is expected that the caucus will
adopt a rate graduated up to 5 per
cent additional tax" ON incomes
above 100000 with graduations
from that levy up to z per rent on
those above " million dollars. As
his latter tax would strike only a
'ew incomes In this country, many
II the insurgents insist upon a
increase after the 800 900
figure is reached SO that the tax
would be 10 per cent or even more
.bove N million dollars. To this
additional tax" would be added the
normal tax" of / per cent.
