Progress of the Exposition

Recent visitors to San Francisco report that the grounds o.
the Panama Exposition ar a scene of intense activity. Over an
area stretching along the ocean for a couple of miles thousands Of
carpenters and other mechanics are busily at work, creating a CITY
the like of which the world has never before seen. 1t is not toe
much to say tina the Chicago exposition of 1898 and all its rival
followers have been but pygmies to this Colossus. Undismayed by
the official Indifference of certain European nations, San Francisco
is going right ahead, stalking its all, virtually, on the success of its
tremendous enterprise. The pride of the San Franciscans has been
touched; and all that money, brains. courage, confidence and am
bition can do, all that engineering skill, scientific knowledge, artistic
achievement and business acumen can accomplish, all is being uhl-
lied to the avowed end that the Panama Exposition of 1915 shall be
not only a fitting celebration of the construction of the canal uniting
the Atlantic and the Pacific, but shall stand out prominently in
American history as a monster and magnificent display of the
.prowess of Goth century civiization.-Anaconda Standard.

Unforeseen Result OF Income Tax

The new income tax adds to the value of State and municipa
bonds, as incomes derived from these are exempt saws the s F
Examiner.
Suppose a man has $780, 900 invested in securities which pay
. per cent He is taxed l per cent upon the income. Suppose b
sells and invests IN State or municipal bonds, paying 5 per cent
He is taxed nothing on the income. Naturally public bonds are
going to find a wide market.
The demand for municipal securities created by the income
tax will undoubtedly lead many capitalists 70 favor municipal owner
ship OF utilities who have hitherto been strong opponents of thai
sort OF thing. And we may expect to see municipal ownership in
crease with extraordinary rapidity.
1t is an interesting proof of the unexpected results which
economic legislation produces. Our social and business relations
are so interrelated, so complex and so ramifed that only actual ex-
pertinent can definitely decide whether economic changes, made by
law, will work harm or good.

TOnOpah Another COmStOCk

A luncheon was given to j. Rosa
Clark, president of the Salt Lake
Railroad at Tonopah Monday evening
when numerous speeches were made.
Eugene Howell, manager of the Tono-
pah Banking corporation, spoke on
the material wealth of Tonopah with
an explanation that he could not do
justice to the subject in the few min
utes he had to speak. No one could
disparage a district that produced
1863, 000, 900 in 13years. The physical
conditions were greater and better
than ever in the Ii years since the
little burro of Jim Butler kicked up
the stone that laid the cornerstone OF
Tonopah's wealth on the outcrop OF
tn eMizpah the camp is better thar
| ever.

MINING PATENTS TO
ISSUE ON FINAL PROOF
land Procedure Reform Will
Effect Big Saving In This
and Other States

Washington, Nov. LA reform
in land procedure that will affect
hundreds. if not thousands, of cases
in the West was promised at a con-
ference to-day between Assistant
Secretary Jones of the Interior De
nartment and Representative Raker
of California.
The department soon will issue
regulations to provide that hereafter
certificates will be issued by land
office registers and receivers at the
time claimants for mining lands
mark their final proof instead of
holding up certificates until after in
yestigation by the Government.
This would mean a great saving OF
present delays to which mining
claimants are subjected.
Many Thousands Saved
Such a procedure. for which land
Office experts have been working for
some time, will probably result in a
saving of thousands of dollars to
Utah alone, not to mention the many
other States affected, says the Salt
Lake Herald.
"Under the present rules" said
George f. Hair, chief of the field
service of the local land office, "a
man may come in to-day and ask for
a certificate and get nothing for
three months, six months, or more,
until | have time to send a man into
the field thoroughly to investigate
the case.
Meanwhile, if no certificate is
issued by December 81, the applicant
has to do his years assessment work.
That means money out of his pocket.
Under the proposed regulations the
applicant can get certificate of pat
ent and if fraud is suspected in his
entry, final patent can be withheld
by the commissioner of the general
land office until the matter is
threshed out. Thus no hardship is
worked on any me-.
81 have a hundred cases under in
vestigation that | can turn in right
nov and the applicants involved will
not have to spend money for assess
ments if the new rule goes into
effect"
