Ki the The ' Tha SAd Corporation, Lev. Portland. July SO. To tha Editor of The Journal I have been frequently aaked by views on ths Eddy Cor poration .law and . . noticing E. S. Mo Comas article In Tha Journal Issued on ths Uth beg space to express my vlewa on the subject matter. I have procured a eopy of that law, and after carefully examining It And 4hat It la much, , mora harmful and detrimental to tha mining lntereat than I had expected It to be. I think had Mr. Eddy understood and taken Into consideration the mining In terests In comparison with other indus tries, ha would have at ones seen ths Injustice of It. As long aa gold la the standard and all values are fixed by It, gold mining must ever remain of paramount. Importance to all other lnduatrlea. Tha production of gold must ba maintained In order to preserve It aa a standard. Let gold min ing cease today and in a very few years what would beoome of our gold stand ard? Prloea of everything would dwin dle Into Insignificance, for there can be nothing mora true than the fact that tha greater the production of- gold the higher the pricea of all other commodi ties, and tha scarcer tha gold tha lower will be tha pricea of all other producta. This Is .equivalent to tha rise and fall of gold. This is not politics but cold blooded faota, therefore tha annual production of gold must ba maintained. . Therefore every ounce of gold that la extracted from the earth, adds 120.17 to ths wealth of tha atata and tha . nation. Therefore gold mining must ba of para mount' Importance, above all other in dustries, and should be fostered, as sisted and protected by all the encour agement that can be extended to It. Instead of taxIngHt,' It ahould be re warded by being exempt irom all tax ation of any kind. If, the money -re- celv... from all tha mining eompanlea waa set aside and expended by the coun ty court In building roads to and from lae mlnee. It would bo In some measure Justifiable. I need not mention more then ons Incident In which this Eddy law worked a hardship. Up on the Elk horn river, a branch o tha north fork of . the Bant Urn river. In Marlon county, there ara a dosen or mora proa- pecta wu.cn - are incorporated , for the purpose of development, and determining whether they 'will prove to ba a paying mine or not. For tnia purpose they have Incorporated Into a stock company, not for 'any Immediate gain, but ta pros pect and sea if It will prove to be a paying mine, worthy of patting machin ery omit; If ao then It will develop Into taxaDie property that win net more to the stats than any other method. It Is not only an Injustice, but It la pre ventative of development and reeourcee of tha state being opened up for the Invsstment of capital. ; It la bad policy to' throttle an Infant Industry In tms way and sti.t harder On the poor prospector who may never develop a, paying property, where all LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE REAL ESTATE $7Cft Lota In' Doacher's Second Adal- tlon, next to 10 Fair. $1650 ,0,a00' Nineteenth., near North tIBftn Qtfarter block.

They may not think that mlnine- interests amount to mucn oe- cause they have no Sucker Creek atrlke to excite the people, but I can assure them that they have In Marlon county some of tha best prospects ever yei found In Oregon, for the development of lam and well-oavlnc mines that will nroduce over tlOO.OOO Per month In gold; silver and copper. Then they can' well afford to pay a tax on their captlal stock, but not untU then. It seems to ma that tha law ahould be amended, ao aa the tax would fall on the producing mlnea. or on the amount Of proauotion. or milling capacity. ..A mine that haa but a flve-atamp battery and can crush but about ten tons of ore a aay anouia pay no mors than $10 a year, a tan atamo battery" $10 per year, a fifteen Stamp battery J per year, a iwamy- stamp battery 140 per year, and ao on up. But no mine should be taxed until It haa machinery in piaoe on we mine. If this is not dons ths prospector will have to avoid the tax by disposing of so many feet in bla claim by deed, the same aa waa done on the comatoca mine in tha aarlv days. It la ara-ued by aome that many of these mining corporations ara organn ed for ths purpose of selling stock to make monsy off the stock alone, there fore to tax It la proper. Thla claaa of people ara luat tns onea who would gladly pay tne tax, out may ara tha frauda and not miners, besides there will be a bill introduced in the next legislature requiring that before any mining .company, or corporation shall seU or offsr for sale any mining etock in thla atata. the. company snail ni with tha secretary of stats an affidavit setting forth In detail the location of hla mlna, tha amount of capital aiocx. tha amount of development work. - done by abaft, tunnel or adit, tha else and number of the claims, the width, of the vein of ore, value per ton, kind and char acter of ore, amount of machinery there on.. If any. and any one purchasing stock of said company can at at once sea wnat ba la Investing In, by ordering a copy of such . affidavit from the secretary of state. There la a great difference between mining corporations and other commercial corporations, ths latter uses tha money already in existence, the former produces the money for the lat ter to use. I think It would be policy for soms of our aspiring politicians to help straighten out this matter in the next legislature, J. It FISK. Zafe-Preeervera oi Portland. Or., July II. To tha Editor of Ths Journal Will you kindly give me a small space in Tha journal in which to call attention of the ateamboat Inspectors to the need of a more con venient distribution of llfs-preservers on all the river boete, especially moae carrying passengers? A trip to the cascade last Bunoay on one of the racers waa rendered exceed ingly unpleasant on account of tha preasurs of ateam being consiaeraniy above safety point, which at ons tlms even shocked ths engineer who made frantlo efforta to reduce the pressure. This, coupled ..with ths fact that ths life-preservers were locked up -In a cage on the lower deck within a few feet of ths boiler, waa certainly not conducive to ft pleasant state of mind. Many of tha ladles who saw the look of horror on the face of the engineer were In fear and trembling throughout the Journey, and declared they would never risk their Uvea on such a boat again. Steamboat racing la a dangeroua practise and ahould ba prohibited. Life-preservers and every- meana-of - safety- should be within easy reach of every passenger so that in the event of tha boilers burst ing or a colllson ths loss of Ufa would not be so great . .
