THE GROSS GOLD TAX
(Juneau E1npire)

The gross gold tax, subject of considerable discussion since the last legislature placed a 3 per cent levy on gross production in the Territory, is a revenue pro- tfucer, if it does have it's objec- tionable features, it is indicated in a report from South Dakota where the gross gold tax system is in operation.
 During the first six months of 1887 in South Dakota the rate was 4 per cent on the gross. Un- der the setup, the Hearst owned Homestake Mining Company in the Black Hills paid into the South Dakota treasury a total of 36,52279, according to the re- port of J. H. Bottunn, state direc- tor of taxation for South Dakota
 During the last six months when the rate was 6 per cent on the gross, payment to the state was $570, ,486.l1, making a total tax payment by Homestake to the state of $9O7, ,OO8.9O. Only other mine in South Dakota was effected by the tax, the Bald Mountain Company paying $50OO in gold tax.
 Incidentally, South Dakota and Alaska produced virtually the same amount of gold in 1887, the Territory of Alaska being ahead by S2l, ,0OO.

GETTING READY FOR ICE
 BREAKUP OF THE CHINA
 RIVER AT FAIRBANKS
(FrOm News Miner Fairbanks)

tFr rom NeWS-Nlncr fa1rDankS) -.
 The surest sign that spring is here is the Model Cafe tripod that has just been er:cted on the Chena River ice below the Cush- man Street bridge. This is the 20th consecutive year that such tripod has been used to time the breakup of the Cinema.
 According to Roy Maddocks, who has had charge of putting up the marker for the last seven or eight years, l50 feet of line is attached to the tripod on one end and to switch on the bridge at the other end. When the tripod goes down-river the length of the line, the switch is closed and the time electrically recorded on clock in the Model Cafe. That will be the official hour and min- ute of the Chena breakup.
 Many minute pools cards are being filled out in the business houses about town and consider able conjecture is being voiced as to the time of the breakup. The guesses. range from very early to very late, with many reasons given, but experience has taugh that it is anybody's pool until the ice is gone.
