For what is the mine's real value but the ore which it exports? With low grade mines the hardship is peculiarly diabolical as it has to go to a very heavy expense in developing the mine antl providing machinery, the cost of which runs away info five and even six figures before it is able to ship those large quantities of ore without which, so small aro the profits per ton, it would be utterly unabie to declare a dividend. To compare this state of things to a poll tax iB merely buffoonery and buffoonery in very bad taste. The News-Advertiser also mistakes the situation. It is not proposed that the tax should be a tax upon the profits of the company, but a tax upon the net retnm of the ore, a very different matter. Promoting expenses, capitalization and all such matters could be easily excluded. There was no idea that they ever should be included. There is a certain expense in the actual mining, there is another in warranted expenses of management, which have nothing to do with directors' salaries, and another in smelting and freight, which must be sot against the gross value as returned by the smelter, and the balance is the profit per ton. Or if this is thought to involve too much for the brains of the minister of mines, who too often knows nothing of mining (it is not too much at the Cape or at the Antipodes), the alternative j.ioposition could well be adopted, and that this to place a tax upon the assay value of the ore and deduct nothing. This would not bo as fair a way as the other but it would have this bi neflt that it would do away with the anomaly that the poorer the values in a mine the higher it is taxed. But the RoEsland board of trade is greatly to blame about the whole matter, and apparently knows as much about mines as it does about miners' unions. gmmnmrfflimimfmimwtfltwmnFWFitfitrmmnftvfm^ 1 THE StRHND 1 ■£; ******** :zs j| FINEST EQUIPPED SALOON IN THE PROVINCE If 8^ ******** ^8 f| We Carry all tha Best Brands of Wines, 3s fc Liquors and Cigars. at: ******** E^ I OPEN AT ALL HOURS. i ^ii.iiiiiuuiuii.iuiuiiiii.ii.iiui.uuiuii..iiiuiuiiwiuuiiai..^ NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Gregg, formerly of Victoria, as editor of the Rossland Miner fought bitterly against the Miners' Union for seven months. He gained for himself the unenviable distaste of union men and their friends, and finally the displeasure of those whose interests he was the alleged champion of. He lost his job and is suing the Miner for .$1000 salary on an uncompleted engagement.—T. H. Twigg in Victoria Colonist. Le Roi LIVERY.TEED AND SALE STABLES John F. Linburg, Frop. Washington St., Op.

Chicago, March 25.—Thecitizens of the south end of Austin have engaged the employes of the Union and Consolidated Traction com panies in a hand to hand fight for universal transfers, which Judge Ball has decided must be given. Eighteen men, headed by W. E. Golden, druggist, rode back and forth on the Madison street lines, demanding transfers from the trolley to cable and back again. They were refused, as had been expected, and the efforts of the Btreet car crows to eject them from the cars resulted in two pitched battles which tied up both lines for some time. In the battle Golden's back was sprained and he was otherwise injured. None of the others were seriously injured. A large number of suits against the companies is one of the results threatened as a result of the light.
