They have mined along thin lateral veins and passed up more valuable crosscuts. Their appearance was de- ceiving, they looked too much like anti-mony. It remained for one of them to blow in dike and have it assayed. When it was found to run into almost 1900 ounces of silver per ton the boom started.
 News of this strike has not as yet reached the east. The shrewd west ner is too busy buying up claims to tell us, of his good luck. Nevertheless silver has been found in Alaska in paying quantities. The run is on to the camps. The railroads and steam CTS of the northwest re crowded with wealth-seekers. Where zinc and lead reigned former kings they are now only by-products.

to carry her. England's is dangerous ly near the limit. The one savior of the situation is the development of sil- yer mining. To meet this need new ore bodies must be uncovered and the recent strikes in Alaska hold forth pro- mise of relieveing the stringency.
 With the white metal selling at one dollar an ounce, it was only nat ural that renewed efforts would be put forth to find ample quantities to suply the demand. The miners of our northwest seem to have been the first to display their initiative. The strange part of their recent discovery is that they have been literally walking over the rich finds for more than ten years.

lstructive of the efficient action of the |state tax commission.
 The decision was written by Chief Justice Cunningham and concurred in by Justice A. C.. Baker, with Justice Ross dissenting. The dissent, how ever, gives little comfort to the ap- !pellee, as the reason for it is that Itice Ross does not believe that the law allows an appeal to the supreme court from a case of this sort. It is held by the majority of the icourt that there is under the existing law no appeal whatever from the de- |cisions on assessments made by the Istate tax commission on those types of property they value for tax pur- poses, and for that reason the case is remanded to the superior court of Gila county, where it originated, with instructions to the court that the original demurrer be sustained and the case dismissed.

Even the very strongest gold standard nations were casting about for some new method to offset their increased circulation. Many suggestionsn are being made, one more radical than the other. for it was not thought that there would be enough to even silver to demonen- tize the billions in paper that now pass for currency. In Germany alone there are more than s8,OOO, 100000 worth of

 The seriousness of such infiation can be better understood when we realize that in the 15 years from 1903 to 1917 inclusive, the value of the worlds pro- duction of gold and silver was only $8,O93,930, 100. If only the money the world has in circulation was depend ing on this backinig there would be no cause for anxiety.

BIG TAX CASES WON BY
 STATE IN SUPREME COURT
Assessed Valuation. by Tax scommis- sion of inspiration Mine and ipter- national Shelter is Upheld this week.

The supreme court of Arizona hand ed down a decision this week in the famous tax cases of the Inspiration Consolidated and International Smell ter companies that is a distinct vic tory for the state and Gila county, re- handing the cases to the superior court with directions to sustain the demurrer and dismiss the cases, for the reason that there is no appeal provided by the law from the assess ments made, by the state tax commis- sion.
 "The decision of the supreme court in the International Shelter and h. spirat tion Consolidated, tax cases is of the greatest importance to the state. said Charles R. Howe, of the state tax commission yesterday. An opposite decision would have thrown the state into the same pitiable condi- tion it was before statehood and be- fore there was any centralized tax ing authority, when each county, through local interests, was trying to lower their assessments to the lowest possible point, and the tax re- turns were too small to sustain the government and make needed state Improvements. One Judge Dissents.
 "Theo last year before statehood and taxable values, under the system of the county officials and courts as fin al arbiters, was only s9s 100000. The assessed valuation now is nearly s9OO, OOO,OOO.N
 sThe decision that an appeal can not be had from the state tax com mission to a county court is highly gratifying to the commission, not that we object to review but that a re- view in county courts would be de-

is probably not more than $4,000 and
perhaps somewhat less.
