EVENUE MAY
BRING SURPLUS
———
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, (fi>)—
The feeling of the last Influences
of the income tax collections is
different in the current fiscal year.
There was a shrinking in six days,
from September fourteenth to
September twentieth. It fell from
tvco , hundred and forty-six million
to a hundred ninety-two million,
a drop of fifty-four million. Be
sides, treasury officials estimated
that some forty million of Sep
tember income tax collections
have still to be reported. Addi
tional daily statements of the
Treasury are showing a surplus.
The nronth thus far stood at thir
ty six million on September twen
tieth, the last date ofi the Report.
While comparable with the period
a year ago, It showed the expen
ditures .running a hundred and
two million above the receipts.
Secretary Woodin said that he
was highly optomistic regarding
the outlook for the remainder of
the fiscal year as all categories of
revenue were trending upward. He
would not be surprised, he said, if
the year ended with the first
surplus since 1930 v

MILD WEATHER
WILL HELP MINERS
The recent cold weather has
■closed down numerous small min
ing outfits as well as some large
concerns. The Hanimon company
and other mining concerns which
employ dredges are still operating
successfully. Many sourdoughs
■predict that this is not the freeze
mp or the end of the mining sea
son, and that we will have a
Change for warm weather Includ
ing rain and wind storms from
the southeast, as this is the equa
norial period when the. Bering Sea
rages and sea reaches front street.
However, many mining firms have
not deserted their mines just be
cause a little frost arrived early
this fall, but are awaiting a change
in wea>ther conditions which will
allow them to take out an addit
ional amount of gold, which at
the inflated price of today, will
pay them handsome returns bn J
their cleanups. It is also predict-;
ed by those who are in the know j
that placer gold will be worth'
nearly forty dollars per ounce by j
' the end of this year, on the world
'market. For other information J
consult the telegraph news in the!
'Nugget pr talk to your local bank-'

gold is worth.
