A HINT TO UTAH.
Mine Owner rs should start On the First
Round and Climb Up.


The November number of the Mining
and Industrial Reporter, published at
Denver, says that Utah differs in one
thing from any other mining state in
the Union. In Colorado, California,
Idaho and Oregon, almost every free
milling gold camp has its small stamp
mill Where the mines are inaccessible,
the old-time arastra is used with sue
cess. by pursuing this method men
with small means are able to make
small stake, and AT the same time their
properties are being developed.
In Utah it. is different. There Is
hardly a camp where n small mill Is
in operation. 1t seems to be the rul-
Ing thought with owners of small mines
that big plant must be installed or
nothing. In nine out of ten Instances
nothing Is done. There Is no reason
why man should not he milling his
own ore in a small way, Besides maxi

would be opened up right aloi& In
time the condition of the properly and
the ore in sight would justify the cree
ton of min with larger capacity.
and he would have the money with
which to build II.
While Utah has the reputation of
being silver producing country, 1t has
several camps In which Lodges OF free
milling gold ore have been discovered.

OTHER TRANSFERS ON THE EXCHANGE,


Despite existing inactivity In that
part of the Tintic camp Bullion Beck
came to the front in the pit today ana
gave out a block of fifteen shares at
"a per share--a figure several points
in advance of the present bid for a
board lot OF the stock. For some time
past Bullion Beck has taken back
seat in the pit, but today's transfer
appears to have some little signifl-
canoe attached to it. and it is to be
hoped that before long the monotony of
the existing quiet viii be broken, ana
the mine and mill be seen again In
vigorous, healthful motion.
The other stocks to record transfers
on the regular call, were Nam
moth, Utah and Chloride Point. The
former advanced to 81 in the bidding,
at which figure 100 shares found a
ready taker. while more of the stock
could easily have had $l.97h placed
upon II, SO eager WIS the demand at
that figure. Utah sold at 59ia cents
and had closing bid of bS while
Chloride Point went at 80 and 3sla
cents, but suffered materially after
the transfers and shrunk in the bid

IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF
THE ASSESSMENT OF MINING PROPERTY,


Judge Cherry gave his decision today
in the case of the Mercur Gold Mining
and Milling company VS. William Spry,
county collector of Tooele. finding the
issues for the plaintiff and quleting
title to the property as prayed for.
The Mercur company was assessed
$685. on a valuation OF s350,000 OF net
proceeds from January LIST, 1896, to
June list, 1896. The company con-
tended that it's net proceeds during the
time mentioned did not EXCEED 100000.
and further claimed that 10 mills of the
zIl2 mill levy was void by reason of
lrreEularity in the levy. The COM
pony then paid 1T1a mill tax on
100000, and upon it's refusal to pay
the remainder of the tax, S,SI5, the
county collector sold one of las claim
In satisfaction of the unpaid tax suit
was then Instituted by the company
against Mr.. Spry the collector, 1t being
alleged that the taxing Of the net pro-
ceeds OF the mines was Illegal; that 10
mills OF the 27la mill tax was void and
that in any event 1t should not have
been taxed ON "A valuation OF 100000.
Judge Cherry holds that the const-
tutional provisions providing for tax
of the net proceeds of mines was not
self executing and therefore did not
go into effect until the legislative en-
uctneht upon the matter, when was
approved April 3, 1896. the law in his
opinion not being retrospective. He
further holds that the ten mill school
Tux at Mercur is void by reason of the
fact that the board of trustees levied
the tax instead of the taxpayers. He
also holds that the county having
paid taxes OF its own accord, on a val
uation of 100000, it is now estopped
that this sum Is not a Just and proper
amount and that 1t cannot collect
back the sum thus paid; although ac-
cording to the courts opinion they
owed less than one-third of that
amount. A decree is accordingly en-
tered quieting the mining claim in
question,
The effect of Judge Cherry's decision
will give those, who have paid taxes on
the net proceeds OF mines, under pro-
test, for the period of jan, 1896 and
April, 1896 the right to recover back.

The building Is located in n very

have been very disastrous blaze.
The damage cannot be computed on
account OF the goods but reaches into

There Is no manner OF guessing at the
origin Of the fire. as there was no light
burning, and no fire in the stove. The
cause must remain mystery. The
