has seen fit to determine just how
much property shall be assessed and
has determined the value which shall
be placed upon it for the purpose of
taxation
Your question assumes that the land
was purchased from the government
as mineral land and that the price
paid the government was $40 per
acre.
The mere fact, as you allege it to be,
that portion Of this land is not min
eraI, does not take from it the charac-
ter of mining claim or mine. The
legislature has said that all mines and
mining claims shall be assessed at the
price paid the United States therefor,
and in my opinion the assessor has no
discretion to assess it otherwise, and
this would be true notwithstanding
portion of it was non-mineral or that
the mineral had been extracted.
While the assessor in ordinary cases
possesses some discretion and has
the right to use his judgment as to
the value of property to be assessed,
in this case the legislature has seen
fit 10 place a limitation upon his pow
ers by determining in advance the
value to be placed upon this character
Of property, leaving as the only CUES
ton of fact to be determined by the
assessor whether the land in question
has been purchased from the govern
ment as mineral land and the price
paid therefor. l have the honor to be,
very respectfully yours,

WITNESS FEES.

The attorney general delivered an
opinion as to the matter OF jurors fees.
In this instance the state official de-
clares that all payments OF fees made
prior to the 9Th of June, al the rate OF
81 per day are legal while all pay
ments since that time are to be accord
ing to the law which took effect on
June 5.
AS in the previous instances, the
opinion states the case
John Mowers, Esq, Prosecuting At
torney, Beaver county, Beaver city,
Utah:
Dear Sir:-I have your favor of the
1st inst. in which you request my opin-
ion on certain provisions of the county
government bill relating to the com
pensation of witnesses. | take it from
your inquiry, that since you have re-
ceived a copy of the said bill you con-
cluded that it was an emergency and
took effect April IA, 1896, inaSmuch as
section 10 of the said bill provides that
it shall take effect upon its approval
and that the fees paid to witnesses
about which you ask for instructions
as to the method of correcting were
paid between April IA and June 5;
as a matter of fact the bill did not
take effect until June 5, notwithstand-
ing the emergency clause contained in
section 10, which was intended to be
an emergency act but upon its final
passage did not receive the necessary
vote to constitute it such. and the
emergency clause was not stricken out;
this will appear in the certificate of the
secretary of state in the front part of
the published laws Immediately preced-
ing the enabling act. 1 suppose there
has been no payments of any witness
fees at the rate of 81 per day since
June 3; all payments at that rate prior
to June 5 are in accordance with the
territorial law which was in force
prior thereto; if this assumption is cor
rect, then there is no necessity to enter
into TO question of how to remedy the
payment of the witness fees in excess
of what was authorized by law.
1 have the honor to be. very respect
fully yours, A. c. BISHOP.

MORE INDIAN TERRITORY WEDNESDAY EVENING" JULY 15
Must Pay Postage.

CHICAGO. H., July l4.-Rail-
roa,l companies may no longer
carry their business letters over
their own roads without paying
postage to the government. An
order has been received from
Postmaster General Wilson by
Major Stuart and Postmaster
Hesing insisting upon the EN-
forcement of the postal laws
against railways carrying their
own letters. An exception is
made in favor of letters that
have 10 do with the business of
the tram carrying them, but all
letters to station agents and Of
ficials are forbidden TO be car
ried without postage, and the
inspectors are directed to en-
force the law.
The railroads, however. will
not be required to mail their
letters a. ordinary citizens and
corporations. They will be sup
piled by the government with a
specially stamped envelope,
which they must cancel on de-
livery to the train man. The
express companies have been
using such envelops for some
wears.

We wish to call the ladies' attention to large
variety of Pattern Hats and Imported Trimmings.
We are quite safe in saying: Never did have such
fine things for this department, the styles all
the very latest and up to date in all respects
Again, think say more than most any
other mner in this respect: all of Fine Pattern
Hats were trimmed in workroom. Our head
trimmer spent nearly two weeks in San Francisco at
the importers, designing and sketchng the styles
from their Paris Hats and Bonnets that cost from
$25 to $50.
In many instances, if there was difference it
was on our side, for have had praises from
experts, saying our Pattern Hats faultless and
great improvement beauty when worn. Price
ranging from Sc 05 to SIS 05.
Ornaments, Ostrich Tips, Birds Ribbons, Jewels,
etc., are much cheaper this season than last.
We shall make it quite object to buyers who
wish fine hat, trimmed in most any style, for the
State Fair, or the late style Walking Hats the
Marlborough Sailor.
