TAXING MINING CLAIMS.

mining and Scientific Press.)
Taxation of mining claims has COM
monty been assumed not to be per-
MISSILE until the title had passed from
the United States TO the individual
This opinion Is so widespread, and the
failure to assess unpatented claims for
purposes of taxation has been so near
ly universal, as to give the sanction Of
custom to such exemption. Neverthe-
less the laws of California and of some
other western states have taken ac-
count of the possibility of deriving re-
venue from this source, and the possess
sorry right OF the locator is made
amenable to tax demand. Cases
have been decided by the supreme
court of the United States and of the
state of California, holding that the
possessory interest in public mineral
lands acquired by location Is subject to
taxation by the state and its municipal
subdivisions as real property. Only
this possessory interest can be sold
under tax sale, and the purchaser
must perform the annual labor, other
wise the ground is again open for
location. The same ruling applies to
quarrles and to timber belonging to
individuals or corporations on the
hands of the United States.

~ OOD REPORTS have been re-
ceived from the C. & r. the
past few days. The crosscut
tunnel which the company Is
running to intersect the ledge has been
advanced over 1000 feet and there are
strong indications that it is nearing
the vein; in fact it would not be sur
prising to encounter the vein any day.
The formation has changed to a hard
blush quartzite which is regarded
favorable TO ore deposits and occa-
sionally shows particles of galena. 1t is
believed that this Is the foot wall OF
the vein. The depth attained is some
thing over 700 feet, and in view of the
favorable conditions and the showing
developed in the upper tunnel the man.
agement feels quite confident that the
vein will disclose an ore shoot.
Upper Showing Similar to Hercules.
The c. & r. group of claims lies
north of the Hercules, covering par
allel vein, and parties who are fam
iiiar with the upper working of the
two properties have been struck by
the similarity of the shOwings de-
yeloped near the surface. The c.. &
r.. is situated in wonderful mineral
section, and the outcrop of the vein, in.
dependent Of the showing disclosed by
prospecting near the surface is one |
that indicates the presence of a great |
ore body. The company is well
equipped for prosecuting development,
having a compressor driven by cleo.
tric power comfortable quarters and
a'i necessary facilities for carrying tho
work to successful conclusion.

PINE CREEK MINES SHIP
ROAD AGAIN PASSABLE
DOUGLAS AND HIGHLAND EACH
USING FOUR TEAMS-cON.
STiTUTION HAS FOUR. =

~ AMAGES FROM recent wash
outs have been completed and
~ the Pine creek wagon road is
reported again in normal con-
dition, which means that it is posi-
bile to haul over it with difficulty 1t
still needs much attention from the
county to place it in good condition,
and In the absence of this attention
the work Of repairs and rebuilding OF
bridges devolves to great extent up
on the mining companies dependent
upon it. Before the high water of
few weeks ago there was some en-
enlargement that the county authori-
ties would do considerable work on
Pine creek in the way of repairing the
road to meet the requirements of the
heavy and increasing traffic, but the
large amount of work that confronts
the county on the main highway the
outlook for road work on Pine creek
Is not cheering Meantime possibly
the O.-W. X. & N. company will per-
manently solve the transportation
problem by building a branch up
there.
Douglas Again Shipping.
Four teams are now hauling ore
from the Douglas to the Pine creek
spur While the shipments were tied
up on account of the impossible con-
dtion of the road there was no let UP
40, law n hn
in the tunnel levels and in the shaft.
Among other developments it Is stat
ed that the lower tunnel is being ex-
tended, increasing the length of the
ore shoot on that level which was al
ready 500 feet long. The showing of
ore in the drifts from the shaft con-
tinue good, and 1t Is stated that there
is a marked increase in the amount Of
lead as depth increases. About 40
men are employed at the Douglas.
Constitution Prepares to Sink.
The Constitution is also shipping
again, two teams being employed. The
mill is running, but 1t is stated that
several additions to the mill equip
ment must be made before the best
results are obtainable. A large amount
of ore is available both in the tunnel
level and in the shaft, which is down
200 feet. from which drifts have been
run both east and west with most sat
isfactory results. A report from Pine
creek this Week states that the Con-
sitution company will soon begin
sinking the shaft to a further depth of
200 feet.
Highland Surprise Shipping.
A large amount of concentrates that
the Highland Surprise company ac-
cumulated while shipments were tied
up on account of impossible roads are
now moving to the railroad as fast as
four teams of four horses can deliver
them.
No Railroad News.
The mine operators on Pine creek |
are waiting to hear what the O.-W. r. |
4 N, company is going to do on the |
proposition with growing i'm
patience. 1t has now been some three |
or four weeks since Albert Burch COM
pleted his inspection and it Is pre-
sumed that his report has been filed |
with the president of the railroad COM
pany within a week after he had fin
ished his work. The belief is quite
general that Mr., Burch's report fully
justifies the construction of the
branch, and that If it is not built this
season it will be because the company
Is influenced by other considerations
