The Assessment.

There is much talk about the
equalizing Of assessments, cash values
and such like going the rounds Just
now, perhaps the best thing that
could possibly be done in The matter
would be TO adopt the suggestion that
5. II. McEnerv made in his first mes
sage he sent to the legislature in his
capacity as governor OF the State, to-
wit:
"a State board of equalization
should be organized, not for the pur-
pose Of local assessments, but for the
: preserving uniformity among the
parishes. Whenever a parish falls
short in its assessments, and is thus
inhlcting an injury upon its neighbor.
the State board should be authorized
to revise the assessments, and order
them to be raised to uniform and
equitable scale. Carroll Democrat.
We agree with our esteemed con-
temporary. This suggestion of Gov.
McEnery was not only wise one.
but the very remedy for the evil that
now confronts us. Now that the Im-
partial historian is considering the
work of Judge McEnery as governor
Of this State, he will find great wis.
doIa, forethought and executive sagaci-
ty in all ll7 official writings and acts,
which for all time shall stand as an
enduring monument to his ability and
worth.
But to our subject of assessment. 1t
seems that the assessment Is not uni.
form among the parishes. Tax rolls
from many show such a low rate of
assessment that public criticism has
been directed against them.
If this continues unremedied
serious injury to the State will be
occasioned. The parishes who are
now giving full assessments feel the
injustice done them, as they very
properly believe that all parishes
should contribute in equal proportion
to the State funds. 1t is true that
the tax is six mills on the dollar, all
over the State, but as every person
pays taxes according to the rate of
assessment placed upon. his property,
it will be seen that it is as important
to equalize the assessments, as it is to
make the actual tax levied equal all
over the State With State board
to revise the assessment of each par
ish, gross irregularities could be pre-.
vented, and the State would no doubt
receive much larger revenue

And painted mot wreath it is uue).
But the flowers that speak of mbrancc,
Forget-me- -nots, modest and blue.
And gazing on their fair beauty

or you and the spring time he won you,
And read all your secret in your eyes.
Those deep tender eyes, soft and loving,
Again he will see their soft blue
Reflected to-day in these flowers,
You are sending with love, fond and true.
And me thinks he will long to be standing
With Elaine again by his side,
As of old meath the soft signing willows

Oh, those beautiful dream. OF the future!
How sweet and begiling they are,
In dreaming of earth it becomes Heaven,

Tin Reef Group.

The boarding house upon the above
group of mines, two miles north Of this
city, having been completed, a working
force Of about twenty men, under the
direction of Foreman McFadden, will
be put OH Monday morning.
This popular and promising group OF
tin locations is owned by the Harney
Peak company, having been purchased
by that company about three years ago
at cost of $4,000, since which time
very little development work has been
done upon the claims beyond the
amount required by law.
This group is regarded by the COM
pany as being among the most valuable
i'll their possession, and the ihaugura-
tion of operations thereon is very graft
flying to the citizens Of this place and
the community at large, who have the
highest confidence in the merit of the
property, and who are fully alive to the
benefits that must necessarily result
from its further development and sue
cessful operation.

upon mines which show the most
positive evidences of their inexhausti-
bic character, The methods employed
by the company in all their operations
have been chosen without reference to
expense, but solely with view TO their
utility and suitable character. More
than hundred men are now employed
at the camp, including the number en-
gagged at the saw mill and the Mt. Zion
ranch.
The company, in addition to their
coal operations, are also extensively
engaged in the pursuit of agriculture,
having the present year sowed to oats
alone, on their home ranch, between
five hundred and six hundred acres, and
including the amount sown upon their
various other ranches in that immediate
locality. the number of acres in cultiva-
ton, and largely devoted to oats, will
doubtless reach into the thousands. The
doctor was greatly pleased with the
treatment he received at the hands o.
those in charge at all points, and will
no doubt make frequent visits to that
locality in the future, of both of profes
sional and social character. The doctor
informs us that we may safely count on
seyenty-five visitors from that camp on
the 4th of July.

The Celebration.

Public interest in the coming celebra-
ton in this city on the 4th of July is
rapidly intensifying as the days go by.
Custer citizens, moved by patriotic inn
pulses, and commendable pr.de in
their home town, are manifesting n far
deeper interest than ever before upon a
similar occasion. All classes seem 10
have caught the infection. Old men
and women are enthusiastic, young men
and maidens are basking in perfect
delirium of joyous expectancy, and
young America, in the extreme arder of
his anxiety, nightly dreams Of the super
ative joys vouchsafed upon this day of
all days. The various committees are
active in the perfection of arrangements,
every detail of which will receive the
closest attention.
1t may now be deemed assured that
the occasion will be one of the most
attractive character, surprising in all
material respects all former efforts in
this direction by the citizens Of this
place; and that visitors from neighbor
ing towns and agricultural and mining
districts will be pleasingly entertained,
and satisfactorily accommodated, and
that they will ever cherish the pleasant
memory of having aided in celebrating
the 18th anniversary of the nations
birth at the future great Tin City Of the
Hills at period when she was just
ent ering upon the plane of her coming
greatness. Clusters invitation is far
reaching, and extends to every section
of the Hills, and the adjacent valleys, to
eastern Wyoming and northwestern
Nebraska, and to all most cordial and
hearty welcome is respectfully and
earnestly extended.

TIN Transfer.

The Sullivan group of tin locations
situate in Palmer gulch district near the
Golden Summit mill, and owned by V
C. Currier, Ed Cleburne and Abe
Boland, was last week sold to the Har-
ney Peak company for consideration
Of $4,000. One half of the purchase
money is said to have been paid down
balance to be paid in six months.
The Dandy group of tin claims, seven
in number, located near Niggerville
seven miles north of this place, and
owned by Messrs. Holton, Seeker and
Langley, were bonded by the Harney
Peak company in this city on Thursday
The consideration is said to have been
$4,000, and the bond to run six
months.
Also on the same day, by the same
company, was bonded the Portland
group of seven claims, located nea,
Ruby Gulch, three miles northwest OF
this place and owned by McFadden
Rose and the Orr brothers. Considera.
ton, $4,000; time, six months.

Tin Tokens.

The recent arrival in the Hills of a
car load of candles and several car loads
Of giant powder for the Harney Peak
Tin company, is significant Of favor
able conclusion having been reached at
the late meeting Of the company in New
York in the matter ofpushing operations
upon their properties upon an extensive
scale. The fact OF working force
having this week been placed upon
their properties at Tenderfoot, and upon
the Tin Reef group Of mines, near this
city, is also calculated to stimulate the
belief of there being a we'll settled in
tention on the part of the company to
vigorously prosecute the work Of devel
opment upon their various properties,
with a view TO placing tin upon the
market at the earliest practicable day.
The evident anxiety on the part Of the
company TO acquire all the tin property
in the Southern Hills having any merit
SO clearly shown by their continued
persistence in securing bonds upon the
same. is indicative of unwavering con-
ddence, and an abiding faith in the
value of cur tin deposits. At no time
in the past has the outlook for extensive
operations in the tin districts been so
flattering as it is at this writing.
