YOUR TAXES AND MY TAXES

Nesbits little poem. Your FLAG and NV Flag" has
been given a wide circulation. as 1t should have been. 70,
it breathes the spirit of patriotism, and It expresses that
spirit in fine literary form. Your flag, ana my nag, The
flag Of all Of us. It must float ever, as it has noated in
the cause Of liberty.
In order that the flag may be, kept ahoat, unsulued.
Tense of the ideals represented by our flag. We approve
OF the creation Of an American army on a scale never
before contemplated in this country. We are WILLING
to go ourselves. or to have our kindred 70 and do what
they can as courageous men, in defense of the principle,
on which our government and all right government rests
We are giving a splendid exhibition of lofty idealism,
We have witnessed with approval tho voting Of a
war loan Of seven billion dollars, the greatest war loan
in all history. We have seen our annual BUDGET in
creased by nearly a thousand million dollars, and We say
1t is we'll. When principle is at stake we count not the
cost.
Now we come face to face with the personal ee.
ment IN the situation. In order that funds may be pro.
vided for the maintenance Of an army which Is to aid
In keeping the flag anoat it is necessary that we shall be
taxed. We have abandoned the plan Of raising an army

TO fnance a war by volunteer contributions. We must
pay taxes, lots of them. In our going and our coming

MINE
BEING OPERATED
PROPERTY Is LOCATED FIFTEEN
MILES FROM FAMOUS
COMSTOCK
(By James f. O'Brien)

News of a strike of h~igh-grade
ore in the Talapoosa mine has just
been received by j. w. Connella,
the well known newspaperman and
miner who was recently elected
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany owning that property. Mr..
Connella, however, deprecates any
special stress being laid on the
finding of high-grade, saying that
it is the large bodies of a good
grade ore that will pay handsomely
with a mill on the ground which
are depended upon. High-grade is
found from time to time, and it
serves to "sweeten" the SIS to
$40 average values, but the latter
alone can be relied on for divi-
dends.
The T~alapoosa mine is located in
the district of that name, located
about fifteen miles from the Com
stock lode which produced a bill
lion dollars in silver and gold. The
formation and the character of ore
is identical in both districts. The
property was acquired by Col. Win
field Scott Proskey in 1907, but
the claims were located on railroad
land and it was only after a stub
born fight with the Southern Pa
cific company, extending over a
period of several years, that he
,N-oc ab1o 70 @at oJoar f,kIa - %ha
thirteen claims. The fact that both
sides made such a hard fight is
rather good proof as to the value
of the mine.
Col. Proskey and associates have
expended more than 100000 in
exploration and development work
and have reached the point where
the erection of a mill is justified
and necessary, there being enough
ore in sight to keep it busy for a
long time. The veins vary in width
from two to twenty feet, with little
faulting.
In order to learn definitely and
authoritatively what the Talapoosa
ore is worth OF a commercial scale
something that cannot be done on
mere assays-the company has in
the past several years shipped to
samplers and smelters carload lots
aggregating more than 500 tons.
Returns from these shipments have
varied from $3.50 in gold and $3.50
in silver-total $12.10-to $40
in gold and $19.4O in silver-total
$3.50. These values, however,
were based on sic to 55c silver,
the then prevailing prices, while at
present the white metal is around
rs cents, with a general conviction
that it is going to a dollar before
the year is over.
The Talapoosa mine is equipped
with power hoist, assay office, and
all necessary buildings and equip
ment with the exception of a mill
1t is expected that the latter need
will be supplied in the very neal
future.
