REVENUE POWWOW
IN M'AD00'S HOME
General Taxing Bill Considered
by Democratic Leaders Of
the House.
TARIFF REVISION URGED

WAsrrtNGToN. Jan. 1J.--At a confer
MoAdoo plans were considered BY
Democratic leaders for a general taxing
bill TO raise additional revenues for ma
tional defence.
Those who conferred with Mr.. Nc
Adoo on the subject were the Democratic
members Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. except Chairman kitchin. the House
leader, who was unable to attend owing
to illness in his family. He was obliged
to leave Washington this evening for
his home in North Carolina. Represen-
,ativc Fitzgerald of New York. chairman
OF the Committee on appropriations. was
invited. but he also WAS unable tn he
present. II In understood that one
member Of tho Ways and Means Com
mittee strongly urged that the party
undertake a partial revision Of the tarin
as a means Of raising additional
revenues.
Consideration was given to the recon-
incndstion OF the President that taxes he
levied on gasolcne. bank checks and au-
,omobiles, but with what result Was not
disclosed.
There was a long discussion relative
to the Hill bin pending before the Ways
and Means Committee. which provides
for protec,iv. duties OF dyestufs and
chemicals with n view to establishing
these industries m a etrong basis In
this country. The Hill bill is proving a
source of great enba rrassment TO The
Democrats. for the IA that In the
hearings on II this week testimony was
brought out that has apparently made q
strong impression on members of the
party.
" was disclosed in to-night's discus
sion that some OF the Committeeman are
disposed to vote either for tho Hill bill
or for n substitute that will assure the
production of chemicals and dycetuffs in
the United states in quantities sufficient
TO supply the needs of American manu-
facturers.
II is understood as a result of the
conference that there will he close CO.
operation bet w.en the Ways n Means
Committee. which originates revenue
legislation. and such Spokesman OF the
Administration AS Secretary McAdoo.
There seemed to he general agreement
among the conferees that the proposed
taxing bill would prove to h" the most
troublesome question with which the
party will have to deal at this ses-
sion.
Mr.. McAdoo was told that there was
formidable opposition to the tax on
gasolene and automobile manufacture,
and that many Democrats. notably those
from tho south. are bitterly opposed to

Miami Company Increases Stock Issue
to Take Options on Surround
ing Holdings in Rich
District.

The stockholders of the Miami
Mother Lode Mining company at
special meeting resolved to increase
the capital stock of the company from
10000 to 100000 shares, par value
81; 100000 shares to be set aside
for the. purpose of accepting options
on surrounding property and 100000
to be put into the treasury for the
developing of properties.
The properties now held under OPP
ton and to be taken over by the
Miami Mother Lode are the Fiye
Points group of claims, $50 acres, the
VIM. Schafer group of $50 acres and
the Mother Lode Extension of 400
acres
Active development of the property
will be inaugurated Immediately to
open up the ore bodies on 80 and 140-
foot levels of the Five Points division.
Managing Director VIM. Schafer and
! Chief Engineer L. NJ. Greenstein are
busily engaged in preparing maps and
complete reports preparatory to the
listingwo of the stock on the New York
curb
| The company owns 1140 acres of
mineralized granite and granite por-
phyry adjacent to the big producers
of the Miami district in Arizona, To-
Gated in a heretofore neglected sec
ton. The mineralized area shows
| fissure veins traceable on the surface
! by iron and quartz outcrops. The
portion of the property now under de-
| velopment carries three lodges, all
prospected to a depth of 40 feet. A
| cross-cut on the 80 discloses 10 inches
of chalcacite assayng 30 per cent
copper and 16 feet of milling ore car
rying to per cent copper and
ounces of silver The formation re-
sembles in many respects the Butte
district and has been favorably re-
ported on by mining engineers OF
prominence.
The company plans to ship the high
grade ore and block out the low
grade until such tonnage in sight shall
warrant the construction of a con-
centrator.

STERLING COMES IN
WITH ORE MYSTERY

]. W. Sterling of 524 South First
Avenue, arrived in Phoenix yesterday
carrying a bag of gold ore, fairly stud
ded with the precious metal, and quite
a bunch of gold nuggests, taken from
the same property.
Where Sterling's property is located
he refuses to divulge. He claims that
to divulge his source of wealth would
be too hazardous an undertaking to be
viewed in a careless light. He admitted
last night that the prospect did not be-
long to him. but that he had an option
on it. To take up the option he may
attempt to form a stock company and
secure aid.
The ore, which he brought back and
exhibited last night, is about the rich
est specimen seen in Phoenix for some
time There is any amount of free
gold in the ore, some of which persists
in dropping out.
| Sterling made rich strike in the
| Superior district on February 9Th. He
/ still controls that property, and is
working it at the present time.
