HARBOR BOARD IS
OVERCOME BY
LETTER

A letter from the secretary OF the
Japanese Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION received by the harbor COM
missioners at their meeting yesterday
afternoon worked like magic to settle
the question of whether the assOcia-
ton is to be giyent space at the Ala
kea wharf for a free information bu-
Teau. 90 be run in benefit of their
countrymen arriving here strangers
and without means. The commission
agreed that the space should be given
them. The letter which brought the
board to this conclusion, and which
has been copied by two of them for
their scrapbook, reads as follows:
Dear Sir: / beg to tell yon that
We are still waiting to hear from you
q happy, information about the resur-
iection of our tree information bureau
at AIakea wharf which was closed two
months ago. / beg to draw your kind
est attention that this is one of our
most attractive work which our asso-
citation was doing in order to be I'M
derstood what Y. NJ. C. A. is"
On hearing the letter read the board
decided to take up the matter at once.
The chairman will meet the secretary
of the association this week and dis
cuss with him the amount of space
necessary, and present the results OF
the conference before the board at
its next meeting.
A greater part Of the meeting was
consumed in authorizing the payment
CT bills and the passing of routine bus
mess collected in the last fortnight.
However, the hoard did not find time
to discuss the new Matson wharf, on
Queen street, which they now believe
will be completed the first part of
August, and also they talked over the
$4,000 set aside for the Hilo wharf
shed.
1t is believed that the Matson wharf
will be finished in time to dock the
steamship Wilhelmina when it arrives
here from its next voyage. August 5.
The work is progressing rapidly.
Much OF the roofing has been laid, and
the woodwork on the Queen street
side is finished.

EXHAUSTION OF BO.
NANzA TERRITORY

Whether it is true that the poor
mans opportunity in mining is less
than it formerly was is a question up-
on which there are differences of opin-
ion, says Mining Science 1t is true
that civilization is closer to the
sources of metal production than it
has formerly been. This means that
We have more thoroughly overrun our
territory and that the surface show
ings seem TO have been pretty largely
located and exploited, although the
chance of discovering a great and rich
district has not necessarily passed.
This relative truth is another element
in the problem of mining prosperity.
The mineral deposit that exposes itself
on the surface is easily found; but,
if we were to assume that all such de-
posits in the Rocky mountain region
Of the United States had been found,
this would not mean that progress in
the mining industry had ceased Much
greater progress would be indicated
by our ability to scent out, as it were,
those ore occurrences which are more
profound, for such progress would re-
fleet the advancement of science and
our smaller dependence upon accident.
The factor of depth determines, also,
the change in metallurgical method
which nearly every mining district
experiences after a time. incidental to
the passage from the oxidized to what
is often called the sulphide zone. The
action of superficial agencies greatly
simplify the early efforts of the sur
face worker, while the primal and
more complex processes of nature con-
front the modern miner in many
places, often to his despair. While the
situation of the pioneer and frontiers
man was peculiarly hard and difficult,
it would in many eases have been i'm
possible if accomplished by modern
requirements. Accordingly, as the
modern situation is often less alluring
to the adventurer, it is the more
tempting to the student and to the
diligent man.

ANALYSIS OF COAL
FROM VARIOUS FIELDS

In the examination of various coal
fields of the United States during 1912
by the United States Geological Sur
vey, a large number of coal analyses
were made for the purpose of deter
mining, if the land was part of the
public domain, the value of the land
underlain by the particular coal bed
sampled, and in other areas to furnish
information to the general public con-
cerning the fuel resources of the
country. These analyses have been
grouped by states and are now avail
able in a pamphlet published as ad
vance chapter M from Bulletin 53l,
the director of the survey at Washing
ton.
In taking a sample of coal to make
analyses the geologist is instructed to
make every endeavor to procure fresh
unweathered material. He is supposed
to face up the bed in the mine or pros
pect until fresh material is available,
and then to obtain his sample by max
ing a uniform cut across the bed from
roof to floor, including all such
benches and partings as an experiene-
ed and careful miner would include in
commercial coal and throwing out such
impurities as would certainly be ex-
cluded in practical operation. He is
supposed to cut sufficient coal to give
at least six pounds per foot of coal
bed sampled. The sample is hastily
pulverized in the mine until it will
pass through h-ineh mesh, and then
is quartered down until about four
pounds remain. This is placed in a
galvanized-iron can, sealed with ad-
hesive tape or paraffin, and mailed to
the laboratory for ANALYSIS. The sam
ping is done on the principle that a
coal mine should be sampled as care
fully as a gold mine, and that the sam.
pie should be even more carefully han
died after it has been taken. The oh.
jeet of sealing is to prevent change N
the moisture content, so that the coal
may reach the laboratory In practical.

TAXING OF MINING
AGITATINa COLORADO owENRs

Owners of producing mines in Grip
pie Creek and elsewhere throughout
Colorado will find no relief from taxa
tion in the decision by the state Su-
preme Court confirming the present
custom of county assessors in collect
ing state tax on one-fourth of the
gross proceeds of the property. The
decision was rendered in the case of
the Cresson Consolidated Gold Mining
& Milling company against s. c. Pax
son, treasurer of Teller county, and
was adverse to the company. Every
mine owner in the Cripple Creek dis
trict and elsewhere in the state is
interested, as this was recognized as a
test case on a vital question, says the
Denver Mining Review.
The mine owners have made the
complaint that the tax on gross pro-
duction is unjust. The fact is that the
mining properties in this state are be-
ing taxed to death, for in addition to
this tax on gross proceeds there are
several other ways by which the tax
collector 'gets' the mining man.
The chief complaint, however, has
been against the tax on gross proceeds
after all expenses have been paid, the
mine owner often finds that he has no
net proceeds left. Mine owners of this
city and the Cripple Creek district
have repeatedly voiced their protest
against this alleged outrage, but the
decision in the Supreme Court renders
all further protest useless unless the
case is carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States, which is not
likely, according to prominent mining
men in this city. They claim that
the result will be to hamper prospect
ing work and retard development in
many properties that are struggling to
get on their feet.
