A mining man who has come here representing large capital to look over the mining industry on Kcnai benin sula sends the Gateway his impression by letter from Che hills Before leav- ing he was asked to do so as his opin- ion would be of the most valuable
 kind. He refuses to permit the use of his name In dealing with the gen eraI outlook he declares that if several lodges existing along the Alaska Northern railroad were outside they would be grabbed up immediately. Indeed, he is most enthusiastic and if he had allowed the use of his name his general summing up would be of the greatest interest to the miners

or more than so per bale according to
official quotations on the New York Cot
ton exchange.) The lease range of values
occurred in the year 1906. in extreme
fluctuations of 2.65 cents per pound, or
about $13 a bale, and the average annual
fuctuation during the entire period of
II years has been 5.sS cents per pound
or about $27 per bale. While cotton at
some time during some of these years
has sold In the south around cents per
pound. the average price during any year
would have been satisfactory to the cot
ton producer. As a rule the active mar
keting Of cotton takes place during three
or four months of the year. although the
process of consumption Is one that goes
on during the entire II months. The
merchants and bankers of the south are
we'll accustomed to making advances
against crops still to be planted or in
cultivation. but they have usually been
insistent that as soon as the crop has
ceased to be a potentiality and has be-
come reality, that 1t be brought to

 First Jitney Crash

Upon the failure Of William Hack cit, TT William street. formerly a con ductor on the Connecticut Co.'S lines but recently a driver for the Bridge port Jitney Bus Co., to appear at pos lice Headquarters and report his acci- dent last plight that caused two men to be taken to St. Vincent's hospital suf- fering from painful injuries, the po- lice this morning began full investi- gation of the affair. Those injured were: John Levas, So4 Lafayette St., injured about the spine, and John Dryne. 1885 North avenue, concus- sion of the brain.
 The accident occurred at 8:30 last night as Hackett was driving a bus westward on Congress street near the viaduct at Housatonic avenue. Levas a passenger. was standing on the run ming board of the car. Dryne who had previously applied for a position with the company was taking advantage of the opportunity to ride towards his home and was also upon the running board. The jitney crashed into the stone wall of the railroad company, throwing both men from the car. Dryne was rendered unconscious. Hackett picked them up and carried them to St. Vincent's hospital where both are to-day resting comfortably. | Other passengers in the car, who es- l caped injury in the crash, were Mrs John Holt. 1893 Center street and her daughter. who will be asked to give detailed statements of the affair to the police.

 TAX AMEN MOMENT
ospeciaI to The Farmer.l )


 Hartford, May 1.-The objection ex- pressed to the Wadhauas amendment, or the amendment to the corporate ex- cess bill, as prepared by the Connect icut. Manufacturers Association, is that it does not bring g. tax oonmen- surate with the value of the proper ties to be taxed.
 The actual value of the manufactur- ing property of Connecticut Is in the [neighborhood of $600. 100000. The value of this property expressed on the tax books of local assessors will scarcely total a, third of this sum.
 The corporate excess bill is so com structed as to require report show ing actual value, and would bring in a revenue at least double. and perhaps l triple. the amount of revenue accru- ing from the manufacturers amend- ment.
 It is said in tax circles. however, that the Wadhams amendment might be acceptable if the rate were doubled and made tVvo-nfths of one per cent. 1 of the tax paid locally. This, it is claimed, would subject such property to tax of less than one per cent. upon actual value, would not i be an undue hardship and would pave the way for further equalization at some later time.

 OF THE w ar News

The Gallipoli peninsula is de scribed in unofficial despatches as being gradually cut off from the mainland by the British and French forces. It is said to be no longer possible for the Turks to pass back and forth between the European and Asiatic sides of the straits Their main forces are reported to be be- tween the town of GaIlipoli, at the further end of the straits and Maidos, which lies on the straits. about two-thirds of the way down the peninsula.
 Official advices have not made clear the extent of the operations Of the British and French, forces. A British statement of last night gave the impression that the fighting had been restricted to the lower end of the peninsula, across which it is said an en- trenc1ed line has been establish ed From several sources it has been reported that the British also have crossed the upper end of the pennif1su1as reaching Gal lipoli. There is no confirmation Of this. however. except in an of ficiaI German statement yester- day, which said there had been severe fighting for two days at GallipoH.
 The Constantinop1e ofdctal re- ports state that. the Turks are making consistent headway in their attacks against the land and sea, forces of the allies.
 The situation in Flanders shows little change, although the French claim a further advance for the allies. The 15-inch shells with which the Germans yester- day bonnbarded Dunkirk. hurling them perhaps 20 miles from one of their siege guns, are said to have blasted in the ground craters in some instances 45 feet in diam eter. Ten more shells fell in Dunkirk last night, killing or in turing several persons.
