RULING ON THE STAMP FEE
Exchange of Wilcox Land for Brewer
Stock Raises the Point.
Attorney General Cooper Holds That Market
Value or Stock Shall Establish Stamp Fee
-Difficulties of Exchanges.
Attorney General Cooper today sent
to Mr. T. O .Thrum, registrar of con
veyances an Important ruling. Tho In
quiry of Mr. Thrum was concerning
stamp fee.
It Is the law that tho stamp to bo at
tached to a document evidencing con
sideration or on account of considera
tion shall In slzo or amount bo pro
portionate to tho sum of tho transac
tion. Mr. Thrum has been puzzled very
often by exchange transactions of con
siderable magnitude and by trades In
which It happened that tho nominal
sum of $1 was mentioned a3 price.
Tho caso in point Is tho transaction
by which Chas. M. Cooko bought of O.
N. Wilcox that lino tract of land on
King street adjoining tho Mttlo Brlt
nln a Inclenendcnce nark tract of Mr.
Wright. The consideration was a largo
block of tho stock of tho old and sub
stantial corporation of C. Ilrowcr & Co.
This stocK Is listed on tho exchango
here, but tho dealings In It nro Infre
quent. Within n month or moro It has
been mentioned by ono broker only.
This Is a gilt-edged security and tho
list of all tho stockholders Is a com
paratively short ono.
Mr. Thrum wanted to know of At
torney General Cooper how ho should
fix tho stamp feo In tho caso of Drowcr
& Co., stock being used In lieu of cash
for tho purchaso of this land. Mr. Coop
er decides, nftcr deliberating and con
sulting authorities and looking up local
precedents or parallel cases that tho
amount of cash Involved, this being tho
sum fixing tho stam.p duty, shall bo
considered to bo of the total value of
mo stock at ts market rate or quotation.
It Is remarked by brokers and a num
ber of business men that It will bo ra
ther dldlcult to ascertain tho exact
vnluo of a stock In which Micro Js bo
llttlo trading as that of Brewer & Co.
In this relation It differs altogether
from almost any other security on tho
list of tho Honolulu Stock Exchange,
most of tho stocks being called In tho
course of three of four days or a week,
in taxing all corporations hem now tho
taxation valuo Is fixed with stock
worth simply ono of tho points used In
determining tho valuo of tho whole en
terprise. It may be that Messrs. Wilcox and
Cooko will ngreo upon somo sum to be
named In tho transaction Instead of
such and Biich a number of tho shares
of the stock of C. Drewer & Co.

A Dray Load of Coin
From the bank of UlBhop & Co., on
Tuesday afternoon there v:,ia sflnt to
the Huwallan Treasury the num of $75,
iioo In sliver coin. This had been po-
curcd somo tlmo ago In exchango for
gold and yesterday tho trade was made
for gold again. It has happened very
often this year that silver lun been
scarce not only on tho other Islands,
but right In Honolulu as well. Bishop
& Co. have been heavy Importers of
tho white coin and have at length pro
vided what promUcs to be a supply for
somo time. It is said that tho impor
tation of gold is moro oxpenslvo than
that of silver. Hawaiian silver cur
lency la becoming less every day. The
bulk of sliver in circulation hero is
from the Mainland. Much of tho Is
land whlto coin has been lost or mado
into Bouvenlr Jewelry. However there
Is a large quantity of now coin in tho
Hawaiian Treasury nspeclal deposits

Why 'They Desert?
It is not so common now for run
away sailors to seek employment on
plantations, tnougn most 01 mem on
first leaving their ships go Into tho
country for a fow days. Hut for per
manent engagement they seek to ship
on tho United States Army transports,
which aro usually short a few men or
lose a few here. Tho sailors who como
up from tho Colonies receive two
pounds ten a month sterling. It tho
men can got on transports they nro
raised to tho afiluenco of having J2.G0
and S3 a day, as men aro scarcer than
over at San Francisco. A number of
runaway sailors have this woek been
picked up by tho pollco and shipped on
deep water vessels.
Prof. Louis Marcus has severed his
Tho Stangcnwald Offlcc Building, a
plcturo of which was given In this pa
per yesterday, will, when completed In
tho early summer of next year, glvo
ino largest and handsomest building
between San Francisco and Sydney to
Honolulu.
Work on plans for this block, which
Is to bo on Merchant street, next to
tho Judd building, was started nine
months ago In the offices of IMpley &
Dickey, iho well known architects. Tho
enterprise Is that of Messrs. L. A.
Thurston, A. W. Carter and associates,
who design to placo at tho disposal of
tenants a first class ofilco building with
tho best modern features.
Tho Stangcnwald block will bo fit-
proof. It will bo a steel structure, with
tho principal wood tho heavy oaken
doors throughout. Protection from flro
will consist of standplpes In which will
bo maintained heavy pressuro and to
which, will be attached lines of plpo
acting automatically In turning on tho
wntcr when unreeled. Mr. Fred Har
rison has built tho foundation. Much
of tho steel has been shipped from Now
York by Mllllken Bros., tho contract
ors, who nro putting up now most qf
tho metal plantation buildings through
out the group. Mr. Dlckoy, of tho firm
of lllpley & Dlckoy, Is on tho Coast
at present making contracts for work
and material out of the common hero.
Tho building will havo a mall chute,
will bo wired properly for telephones
and electric lights. A teaturo will bo
the high speed elevator, traveling 300
feet a minute, tho samo as tho lifts In
tho Masonic Temple at Chicago, whero
a Journey to the nineteenth story Is
mnde In a Jiffy. There will be steel
floor supports and steel for tho parti
tions.
Tho stylo of tho building is the Ital
ian renaissance. Tho main cornice ex
tends out over tho fifth story and
makes a balcony for the sixth. There
will bo on tho top story a logia, having
floor space of four feet of tho veranda
and four feet of the Interior. This lo
gin will be a room of tho Business
Men's Club that is to havo the whole
of the sixth floor, which Is specially ar
ranged for a club, Tho schemo of con
struction of tho building has tho neat
ness nnd utility Mint tho first floor may
bo occupied whllo work Is under way
pn tho second, nnd so on. Tho front
will bo of pressed brick.
Not nn inch of spaco about tho whole
structuro Is to bo wasted. In tho base
ment Is ono large room which will havo
flvo bicycle racks, tho wheels to bo run
down nn inclined plane from near tho
main entrance. There will, bo In tho
basement rooms for tho Janitor nnd
storage space and repair shop, elovator
machinery, pressuro tanks and a power
storago apartment. Tho first floor plan
shows quarters for a uank. Then the
floors up to tho sixth story are beau
tifully arranged for offices and a num
ber of attorneys, physicians and bo on
havo already selected their suites. The
club quarters Bhowa reception room

storago, hat and cloak room, etc. On
every floor tho corridors aro wide and
the light ample.
As supply of material Is now assured,
work on tho Stangowald ofilco build
ing will proceed as rapidly as possible.

Tho loss of stock was not so great on

K August Conndt writes from Ram-

S" that himself as asscolates had set

m season of Isolation. He mentioned
0 the prospect of a long period on a
0 diet of pork and beans. August Is
hopeful as ever and has a new
scheme on hand that he believes
promises well. He proposes, soon
after Jan. 1, 1000, to make a start
across the ice for the famous Cape
Nome gold fields, which are at the
present time declared all along the
coast and throughout the states to
be richer than anything Inlthe Klon
dike, which means richer than any
thing In the whole world. August
tells of hearing from reliable sources
of men who have been taking out
at Ope Nome diggings all the way
from J50 to ?icoo a day for
months. It Is added that the
borders of the gold territory have
not yet been reached, and that the
area of the diggings Is much mote
extensive than the territory of the
richness of the Klondyke. August
had Intended going U Nome some
