REPEAL MINING TAX LAW

As another legislature is about to
be chosen, it becomes the duty of
the people in every mining county in
the state to select such men to rep
faithfully work for the repeal of H.
B. No. $40, relating to taxation of
mines. This bill was introduced and
made law by o. c. Skinner, of Mon
trose county, speaker of the house,
and Felix B. TAFT, Denver attorney,
and known as the Tait-Skinner bill,
neither of whom ware versed in min
ing and knew little of the great injus-
tice it would work upon the mining
industry of the state. The bill reads:
That every producing mine shall rem
der to the assessor, by owner or
agent, the amount of ore mined the
preceding year, and it shall be tax
ed at sum equal to one-half of the
said gross proceeds, plus all of the
net proceeds as herein defined, for
said preceding year fer any such
mine OF UliilHS cldlHl- HIS is d
double taxation that works an injus-
tice to the mine owner or operator,
and if not repealed, half of the mines
in Colorado will be compelled to
close inside of two years. Now is
the appointed time, before candidate
are chosen, to be sure that those who
aspire for the position, are those
that, if elected, will bend every eff
fort for the repeal of the law. The
opening up and equipping Of mine
is expensive business, and those who
are resolute enough to invest in this
industry, should have encourage
ment instead of having double tax
placed upon their product. 1t is a
far harder task to repeal law, than
to defeat a proposed law. and will
require votes outside the mountain
counties to win a majority. There
fore campaign speakers should inform
themselves OF the disastrous effect
this law has upon the state at large,
that they may enlighten the voter
in the agricultural sections.

COTTON MILL INDUSTRY
NEVER BETTER

Extract from a speech in the SEN
ate by Senator F. NJ. Simmons, of
North Carolina, July 3:
Mr.. President, few days ago
had a conversation with the largest
manager of cotton mills in my state.
He is the manager, | think, of thir-
teen of the largest cotton mills in
my state. Right here. in passing. l
want to say that we have something
over 800 cotton mills in North Caro-
lima, and if a single one of those
cotton mills is under suspension, if a
single one of them is not running at
full time, il has not been brought to
my attention. This cotton mill man
ager stated to me that last year and
up to this time this year. he had
had one of the best business years
since he had been connected with
the cotton mill business, and he has
been for many years connected with
that business"

MoFFAT TUNNEL

The Moffat tunnel, that we had
hoped would be driven this year
through the main range, a distance
OF six miles, and for whose financ-
ing Denver had voted 8 1-2 millions
OF dollars of bonds, was brought to
a halt last week, by the state sup
rene court, pronouncing the act as
unconstitutional
The Mont Cents tunnel that con-
meets Piedmont, in northern Italy
with Savoy, France, is 8 miles long,
"a feet high and 25 feet wide. 1t
has two lines of track, and is lined
with masonry in arch shape, three
feet thick for nearly it's entire length,
and has at it's highest point, $3.50
feet OF ground above it. This tunnel
was driven over half century ago,
with hand drills and black powder,
ventilating fans or electrical power
and machine drills were then un-
known, as well as dynamite. This
tunnel under these adverse conditions
cost $4,000 900, or s1,50O 900 to the
mile. The financiers of the old world
were appalled, at this stupendous un-
dertaking and refused to finance the
project, whereupon the province of
Piedmont, in Italy and Savoy, bond
ed themselves to finance the enter
prise, with the result that the bonds
were paid many years ago.
The Ivanhoe tunnel, west of Lead
vile in this state, that the Colorado
Midland railroad passes through, is
a single track the same as the con-
templated Moffat, and was complet-
ed some 25 years ago at a cost of
only 100000 to the mile. Electricity
and modern tunnel machinery will en-
able the Moffat to be driven at a
still smaller cost, or less than three
million dollars. The Moffat tunnel
passes through the Continental div
ide that is known to be interlaced
with valuable gold and silver veins
between the two portals, that will un-
doubtedly prove of great value
When the judgment of the financial
man faileth, there is an inexhaust-
ible supply of golden treasures in the
subtle rraneous vaults of Gilpin coun-
ty, that have already furnished $3.50
000eo0 Of dollars for the promotion
of like enterprise that faileth not
