WAR TAXES BIG FACTOR.

Germans are about to subscribe to'
their ninth victory. loan. Whether
it wiz: be victory" loan depends on
some measure on how, the American
people accept the new war taxes now
being framed by.Congress. : !
The German loan opens today. just
five days before the United States
starts on it's fourth liberty loan, and
for the next four weeks Americans
and Germans practically will be en-
gagged in race to drop their dollars
into the hopper of the war mill. The
amount Of the German loan is not
known here.
It is through the war 1oan-a long
series of them. in fact-that the Ger
man empire has financed its part of
the world struggle. Taxation has
been resorted to, of course, but as
compared with taxation in England
| and France or in the United States
the extra tax burden which has fallen
| to the lot of the German people has
been light.
Germany's Figuring Goes Wrong.
/ Before the war Germany had adopt
ed some rather stringent laws for tax
alton. The war once reality, they
decided to meet actual expenses by
loans and impose only enough extra
taxes to meet the interest on the
loans. 1t was believed by the Ger
man people that the war would be
over in few months: that Germany,
by means of the tremendous military
! machine which she had been building
throughout the years, would crush her
opponents before the end of the year
1914. Belgium, France and England
were to pay heavy indemnities-to re-
coup the German treasury. Had this
plan ma aterialized the German idea. of
war finance would have worked, but
the war Went on; 1t is still going on.
and the German debt is piling higher
Today the German public debt is
s27: :757 100000, about 81 .OOO, ,OOO. 900 less
than that of Great Britain and SIT
600, 100000 more than that of the
United States.
Austria has public debt of $12,-

despite the fact that this country
has been most torn by the actual
| fighting, has contracted about $4,000,

Before the war Germany had public
debt Of only a little over 81 900 900 600,

NORTH STAR IN
GOOD CONDITION
MANAGEMENT REPORTS GOOD
RESULTS IN WORK
AT DEPTH

The present report of the North
Star company shows the satisfactory
conditions which have prevailed at
the mine for the past several weeks
to continue, especially with regard
to the recent development on the
Ivanpah vein.
The cross-cut on the 900-foot in
termediate level is now going
through a large and heavy fault,
which is presumably the Mizpah
fault. Better progress is being
made at this level than where
the fault was encountered at great
er depths, being not 80 wet and
Doggy. Some good values, in spots,
have been found, but it is SEEM
ingly drag ore, and has not proved
to be of commercial value.
On the 10OO-foot intermediate
level, the drift to the northwest on
the Ivanpah vein still is showing
about 3 feet of good milling grade
ore. A raise has been started from
this drift and is advancing against
the same width that has been de-
veloped in the drift, namely, about
3 feet, with average values re-
turned from the samples that have
been taken of the ore.
In the south drift from the cross
cut which recently i~ntersected the
Ivanpah vein, a small minor fault
has appeared, apparently running
almost with the vein, but it is expect
ed that this will be solved within a
short time and that the vein will
maintain it's width and values be-
yond the fault.
Some minor prospecting is being
done on the 1O50-foot level, but so
far nothing of any material import
ance has been developed at this
point.
A carload of ore that runs better
than milling grade was shipped to
the West End mill during the week.
