Advocates for inheritance tax and reform in 1904 era
A column urges a sweeping inheritance tax to curb fortunes and defend republican liberty. It rails at the Sherman repeal, defends the Wilson bill, and notes profits of the rich at the expense of the many. It also reports on mining developments in Hillsboro and Fairview with plans for mills, smelters, and ore supply from nearby camps, plus a miners’ drilling contest with $1,000 in prizes.

They argue Hermosa’s mines exceed Hillsborough in total underground footages.
