Mr. and Mrs James B. McCTeary have
beea winter residents OF Washington for
six terms, and this lady's beauty, social
accomplishments, and vivacity have made
her a great success. Her receptions at
the Shoreham have been brilliant, and she
has often been called upon TO assist Mrs.
Stevenson, the ladies OF the Cabinet circle
or OF the diplomatic circle. Her slight,
girlish figure and delicate features, and
her tasteful toliettes rendered her pleas

NEWS FROM THE IRON MINES,
INTERESTING NOTES REL4TyVE re
OUR PRINCIPAL INDUSTRT.
Mesaba and Other Iron Ranges.

In accordance with holding
of the state auditor, says the
News Tribune, that the Oliver
mine which is situated on state
land must pay taxes in addition
to the royalty paid of 25 cents q
ton, County Auditor Halden has
ordered the taxes for 1892 '93-' '94
and '95 spread on the tax folls
for collection, ard when these
taxes are paid the county will be
about 50, 900 richer. The foiIner
state auditor held that as the
mine was on state land and paid
a royalty to the state, the mine
was exempt from taxation. Aud
itor Dunn decided that it was
not exempt and must pay taxes
the same as any other mining
property and was about to figure
the taxes at cent per ton &C
cording to the old law. Mr..
Halden takes the position that
in case the mine must pay taxes
at all it must be taxed under the
present law which makes the
tax on mining property the same
percentage Of the valtiation as
on any other class Of real estate.
Had the tax Of l cent per ton
been paid to the state the county
would have received but half the
amount, or So, 500, while under
the present method Of figuring it
will receive all but about one
tenth of the amount collected; or
about 80, 900. There was a differ
ence of opinion between Messrs.
Halden and Dunn as to whether
the state had the right to collect
the taxes or the county was au-
thorized to assess the property;
Mr.. Halden went to the lessees
of the property and stated that
if they paid to the state they
would have to pay twice, because
he had the right and should ex-
ercise it to put the property on
the tax rolls. This stopped the
payment to the state, and State
Auditor Dunn after looking the
matter up finally decided that
Mr.. Halden's opinion was the
correct one. The matter of com.
pelling lessees of state minerals
lands to pay realty taxes theron
seems unjust; but the article
states the taxes will undoubtedly
be paid.
The Commodore employs but
a small force as yet, the present
work being in opening up ant
developing the mine from thu
lower level of the new shaft. Ir
consideration of the contracts le
