the proceeds of mines for the quarter
ending June 30th, has been made out
and extended by the Auditor. according
to the orders of the District Attorney,
according to the rate OF taxation levied
on property within the fire limits-that
is at 81 upon every 800. This addition
the mining companies claim to be unjust
and they accordingly refuse to pay. they,
however, rendering the amount that
they claim as right, according to the way
tho tax has previously been collected on
bullion. The result is that there is every
show for long lawsuit without the
County Commissioners take the matter
under consideration at their meeting
next Monday, which we understand they
intend doing.
