Manuel Chavez and Mercedes o. NJ Ybor
VS.; the city of Tampa. The object of the
suit is to compel the setting aside of the
tax assessment for the year 1894 on the
ground that the assessment is not based
on fair and impartial valuation Of prop
critics in the fourth ward as compared
with the properties in other portions of
the city. They say while assessments on
their property Is a fair cash valuation,
that the South Florida railroad the Tam
pa Water Works Company and the Tam
pa Bay hotel are either totally EXEMPT
from taxation, on the pretext Of pretended
ordinances, or the assessment is only
nominal one, and thereby the burden falls
more heavily on other properties The

of the city, cites facts and data on which
these claims are based. Judge Phillips has
set Jan. as the day for hearing the case

Inverness Chronicle: A representative
Of the Chronicle through the courtesy of
Capt. Davis, superintendent of the Lake
Phosphate company, was shown over the
lake a rev days ago where the work of
prospecting for phosphate had been made
and where large boulders of rich phosphate
rock had been taken out. At one place an
area of over twenty acres had been pros
pected and wherever phosphate was dis
covered a stake was driven, marked. and
to correspond with the mark
and number of the phosphate specimen
taken from that spot. In this way the
entire twenty acres or more has been
thoroughly worked and with the exception
of one place where the clay was too stiff
and hard to get through, phosphate in
abundance was found. This bed is proba-
bly, one and one-quarter miles from In
verness. At another place, much nearer
Inverness. a bed that covers about one
acre had been prospected in the same way
and rock and gravel was taken out that
run from so to IS per cent. There is no
longer any question as to phosphate in the
lake, and that there is worlds of it, The
lake covers $4,000 acres, and phosphate has
been discovered, and is known to exist on
at least 1000 acres. The work of prospect
ing will be continued for a few days, when
machinery will be put in and mining COM
menced in earnest.
