THINK MOTHER LODE FOUND

A strike that in richness seems al
most fabulous was made on Bachelor
mountain, near the old camp of b.
nanza, Yankee Fork, Custer county,
Idaho, recently by Stanley Van Camp
and Ed. Soloman.
Samples from the property assay
up to $4,000 per ton. The ore
takes in ledge that is reported to be
in place, and the pay streak is four
inches in width. Gold and silver of
equal value are carried and those
who have been to the property and
seen the ore being taken from the
pay shoot are quite wild about the
development of the ledge and the
richness of the ground.
Bachelor mountain has behaved
most peculiarly under prospecting in
the past. Some equally rich strikes
have been made in the past but the
Lodges never proved permanent and
tn enrichment continuous, but the
lucky owners of this property believe
they have found the source of much
of the placer gold that has been TAX
en- from the Central Idaho country
in the past.-Mackay Miner.

THE NORTH PAYS

LET the north pay the taxes" Is
the slogan of the Democratic con-
gress, recently adjourned. And that
slogan was lived up to. Nothing
better illustrates that than the mu-
nitions tax, carried by the Kitchin
bill, now q law. AS that bill was
originally passed by the house, it
levied q heavy tax upon the manu-
facturers of munitions, but coupled
with the munitions tax was special
tax on the production of copper. The
theory of the house was that copper
enters largely into the manufacture
of munitions, and as the copper pro-
ducers have been reaping large prof
its durings the past year, they, also
should be taxed
When the bill got to the senate,
there was an uprising against the
copper tax. why" said the Demo-
cratic senator's from Montana and
Arizona-big copper producing states
should copper be taxed while steel,
N, lead, zinc and cotton, which
enter into the manufacture of NUM-
I D., quite as much or more than
copper go untaxed?' The question
proved embarrassing, and it took the
finance committee three weeks to find
the answer. When the answer came,
the senate discovered that the finance
committee had distributed the cop
per tax to cover iron, steel, lead. zinc
and cotton.
That was shock to the senator's
of the cotton growing states of the
south. They would never consent to
a tax ON cotton, not even on cotton
entering into the manufacture of ex-
plosives. So the south, as represent
ed in the senate, got together, de-
Cided to eliminate the entire tax on
raw materials, but to disguise their
hand, let Senator Ashurst of Arizona
make the motion in the senate. This
ne did, and out went the tax on raw
including the tax ON cot
ton from the south, on lead and zinc
from Missouri, and steel and iron
from Alabama. And all that was left
was the tax on the munitions, which
are manufactured exclusively in the
north.
But we must make up for this
loss of revenue in some way" said
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
chairman of the finance committee.
Sure" replied his committee, and
the income tax, 80 per
cent of which is paid in the north
and west, was given another boost.
All of which merely illustrates
how the south, which is in control,
the present Democratic
congress.

The last month has been a busy

few bombs were dropped on the
east coast with little harm to the
people. Then the air flotilla sailed
over London, and one of them was
brought down in flames north of the
city. Great crowds cheered as the
huge torch with it's living victims
swooped down, lighting up the whole
city like meteor from the sky.
This makes the fourth air raid
on England within a month. The

they call each one by pet name, the
