! the mining men 1t must be corrupt This feeling was strengthened by
 the report Of the tax commission, the
 reading of which would create the i'm
 pression that anyone connected with
 mines and mining is perforce dishon-
 est and given to lodging and evading
 the payment of his dues. This is sian
 der Mine operators of this state are
 men of stainless reputations and pub
 lie spirited citizens, as class, and
 tax dodgers are found in every class, unfortunately, even among high state officials.
 When labor organizations, farmers, bankers and other interests favor or introduce certain measures where their interests are touched, such measures are treated in all fairness and with an abiding faith in the hon esty of purpose back of it all. The principal industry of this state is en- NAlASu hO AllN SdlllS iilNooAtAS VI ASii play that is conceded to other inter ests. It was urged that 1t was spec ial Or class legislation, and that the same system be used in taxing farms. Impossible. After harvest the ground is again prepared and will produce another crop, while on the other hand it takes thousands of years to create an ore body. It never yields but the one crop, and the land is generally of no further value Further, 1t should be borne in mind that the system on ly applies to the producing mines and their product. All surface improve ments such as smelters, mills, reduc- ton works, etc are assessed and val ued separately and the same rate lev jed on other property in the same county. All non-productive mines are assessed as other real estate. Much could be said in favor of taxing mines under this system, but space forbidS. only want to quote Prof. Scligman, president of the Nationad Tax Asso- ciation: The difference between the earning system and the ad valorem system is as the difference between and precision. In short, between modernism and medieval ism"

Columbia, Tenn.-"Many a time, {" says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place, 'I wished 1 would die and be relieved of my suffering, from wonlanly troubles. 1 could not get up, without pulling at something to help me, and stayed in bed most of the time. l could not do my housework.
 The least amount of work fired me out. My head would swim, and would trenble for an hour or more. Finally, look Cardui, the woman's tonic, and am not bothered with pains any more, and l don't have to go to bed. In fact, am sound and well of all my troubles" !"
 Cardui goes to all the weak spots and helps to make them strong. Ii acts with nature-not against her. It is for the tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel as if everything were wrong, and need something to quiet their nerves and strengthen the worn-out system.
 If you are woman, suffering from any of the numerous symptoms of womanly trouble, take Cardui. It will help you. Ai ali druggists.

OPENS WAY FOR
 DEVELOPMENT OF MINING

PHOENIX, April 2.-At the re- cent session of the Arizona legisla- ture very few bills were passed that affected the mining industry direct ly, but substitute House Bill No. 6, amending the miners lien law, and introduced by .Mr. Farrel of Santa Cruz county, is one that should be of considerable benefit to the state.
 Probably no one law has retarded development as much as this law, whose original object was to protect the business men from irresponsible or fake promoters. It provides that when lease or bond is taken on a property for it's development, if any debts are contracted by the lessee or bond holder, the mine becomes re- sponsible for the debt. This, it will be seen, Is the easiest way in the world for a man to lose his property.
 The excuse given at the time the law was passed, the one for which the members fell, was that instances had been known where outsiders had come to Arizona, taken bond or lease on mines and had run big store bills, never paying them. Thus the law was a sort of protective association for incompetent business men, so eager to sell goods that they would take chance of loss without inquir- ing into the standing of the purchas- CT. It has had the effect of protect ing the business men, as the owners of the claims who have any faith Tn them whatever will not lease them to be developed unless the lessee isl willing to give a bond, and even man who is perfectly responsible is not willing to do this, preferring to hunt up property somewhere else, rather than to be compelled to com ply with such a demand. Hence few mines have been developed, few patents applied for and few claims bonded.
 Substitute House Bill No. 6 seeks to remedy this situation by making the mine responsible only for wages, not for supplies, and wages to the extent of only two weeks. This will, of course, require the owners of such bonded properties to require a bond from the lessee, but such bond would be in small amount.
 With this obstacle removed, the way is now well paved for the oper- ations of the State Bureau of Mines in renewing activities in bonding and leasing.

(From Fridays Dailyl


 The DeSoto copper holdings of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Co.,, which was revived a few months ago, and have carried out considerable preliminary development in the old workings, have entered the shipping stage, sending to Humboldt at pres ent four cars of ore per week.
 This output is but the beginning. The new electrical power transmits sion line is building from Blue Beli to the camp, and will be in commis- sion this month, when drills will be introduced in mine development that will materially add to present pro duction.
 In another line of Consolidated do ings, the Blue Bell is shipping daily to the smelter 250> tons, while from Swansea nearly 400 tons per week are arriving. The plant has concen- trating facilities also, and is now run ming to its fullest capacity. Custom trade from various individual proper ties is increasing, and it is reported under consideration to enlarge the works to meet anticipated demands to be made from the fields adjacent, where many properties are nearing the producing stage.

MARKET VARIES
 ACCORDING TO WEIGHT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
 March 29-In the cattle market last
 week heavy steers sold barely steady.
 medium weights strong to 10 higher,
 light steers, yearlings and good to
 choice heifers, 20 to 40 higher, COWS
 10 to 20 higher, stockers and feeders
 strong to Is higher Today with a
 supply of 10000 head, the same lines
 are drawn, the market ranging from
 shade higher on butcher grades and
 stockers and feeders to 10 lower on
 heavy steers. Prime heavy steers are
 quotable up to $S.50, but the best here in the last week brought $S.35, top ycarlings $850 Bulk of the
 heavy fed steers with good finish
 sell at $7.50 to $8, plain heavy steers SIPS to $7.50, choice COWS up to $7, fancy heifers $825, bulk of the good heifers around $750, choice veal calves $9.5O to $1O5O. Beet pulp steers sold today at $715 to $7.5O, to both killers and feeder buyers, and beet pulp bulls at $5.35 to $5.5O. Pan handle feeders sold at SIPS to $7S5, weights from 900 to HOO pounds Quarantine steers sold at $6.80 to to $7.2O about 10 lower than last Thursday, offerings today composed of cake fed steers from Texas weigh ing 930 to 200 pounds Shipments of stockers and feeders from here last week amounted to 11,000 head, two thousand more than during same week year ago. In few words, the general market is weak on weighty killing cattle, strong on light weights, butcher grades, and stock CTS and feeders.
 The hog market made good gains at the close of last week, account of shipping demand to Eastern killers. Chicago is unable to send hogs East, account of quaran- tine regulations, and surplus orders i are being filled here, making this 1 market Is to 20 cents above Chicago and other Missouri river points dur ing the last week. Receipts today are l1OOO; market lower to order buy CTS, 5 higher to packers, top $6.S5, although a carload of 12O-pound pigs drought $6.95, bulk of sales $6!65 to S6.8O.
 Sheep and lambs changed very lit lie last week, the market slow on most days, due to continual efforts of buyers to get the stuff cheaper. Receipts are running light here, total 3,OO0 head, market. about steady, top ambs $975, bulk of the lambs $9.5O o $9.75, bulk of the ewes %.5O to 7.7O. Spring lambs brought $12.5O oday, and a choice lot of Texas ;pringers brought $15 last week, ecord price for lambs from Texas. The mutton market IS due for an ad- -ance, although bad outlet at Chi ago and weak bidding there has its influence on other markets.
