CIT! MAY. TAX NET PROCEEDS
IMPORTANT MINING DECISION
BY JUDGE HIGGINS.
Eureka City May Tax Proceeds From
Mine Part Within and Part Out
side City Limits.
fsnecial to The Herald,


Nephi, March 27.-At a called session
of the Fifth district court held today,
Judge Higgins filed an opinion in the
case of Eureka Hill Mining company
VS.. Eureka City, which was tried at thc
lass term of court. Judgment is rem
dered in favor of defendant.
The contention is over the right of
Eureka City to tax all the net proceeds
of PLAINTIFF s mines, the fact being that
part of the company's mines and mill
are within and part without the city
limits, although the main working shaft
from which all the ore is taken is within
the incorporate limits. The opinion Is
as important one, as there were sew
eral questions involved that have not
heretofore been adjudicated.
George Crooks has filed a complaint
against Jesse Knight & Sons, claiming
damages in the sum of $4,000 for in
juries received while working in de-
PENDANTS mines at Tintic.

GENERAL HALE WOUNDED.
Feared That Colorado Officer Is Ser
iously Hurt.

Denver, Colo, March 27.-An evening
paper says: In the victorious charge
on the insurgents at Polo on Sunday,
General Irving Hale fell wounded-it
is thought seriously-while directing the
advance. A cablegram reached Mrs.
W. r. King, the generals s. -mother-in-
law, reading as follows:
Hale slightly injured.
(Signed) TRYING"
The message was evidently sent to al
lay fear when the list of dead and in
jured is received from the islands. but
instead of toning down the anxiety, it
has increased it. The generals family
believe that he must be seriously injur-
ed, as he has evidently been brought
back from the army to Manila, where
the cablegram is dated. They know
enough of his fearlessness and bravery
to believe he would insist on staying
with the First Colorado if the wound
was slight Anyway. he would not
leave the field, but would follow the
fighting line.
Neither Governor Thomas nor Horace
NJ Hale, the generals father, has re-
ceived any news, and they believe that
the generals wound is not of a serious
nature.

Natives of the Island Are Drafting

says: The transport Indiana has ar

The committee of natives, with Col
onel Smith, the American governor, pre-
siding, proceeded with the work of
drafting a constitution, taking the AM
erican constitution as the basis of the
document. 1t has been formally pro-
posed to raise the islands revenue en-

present method Of levying upon land

shall be free from interference from

in the mud. The men, who were found
asleep in the hay NOV, were dazed and
astonished when awakened by the loud
call of Hoyt to get up and come along

IDAHO ASSESSORS MEET.
Attorney General Urges Them to
Assess Personal Property.
Especial to The Herald.l


Boise, Ida, March 27.-One Of the
of the state convened here today. 1t is
a convention of the assessors of the
state, every county but Custer being
represented. The object of the meeting
is to devise a reform system to increase
new revenue laws. The various subjects
We're left to committees, which will re-
port tomorrow.
The feature of the days session was
a. radical speech delivered by Attorney
General Hays. He spoke of the urgent
necessity of increased revenue, and
bitterly condemned the past low assess
ment of real estate and the practical
nom assessment of personal property
the state over.
Continuing, he took shot at the
banks and depositors, which have gen.
orally escaped, saying: There is GER
tainly more opportunity for improve
ment in the assessment of personal
property than in any other branch of
the assessors business. In dealing with
personal property you, no doubt, find
that the chief items for assessment are
livestock, money, banks and other cor
porations. 1t, perhaps, would be i'm
proper to say that money was one Of
the items to be assessed. An eXamina-
ton of the assessment of previous years
shows that money is scarcer here than
in almost any other place on the face
of the earth. From the official figures,
it appears that in 1898 the citizens of
this state had deposited in the banks of
this state less than S3S. 900, all of which
is in striking contrast to the bank
statements which are from time to time
published, as required by law. For the
purpose of taxation, money deposited
in a bank is debt due to the depositor
and should be assessed to him in the
county where he resides. If he procures
draft on New York, Chicago, San
Francisco, or some other place outside
of the state, he should be assessed for
the amount Of such draft in the county
where he resides"
The new board of regents of the state
university met here today. George A
Robethan of Pocatello was elected pres
ident of the board and F. e. Cornwall
of Moscow secretary, and the executive
committee was authorized to at once
complete the auditorium.

way Of Paris. Unofficial Fflipinos here
assert that he is going to Seville on
private business and that he will re-
turn on April 16 They admit, however,
that he will confer at Paris with Agon
clio, who is said to have been in tele-
graphic communication with Aguinaldo
in order to get the latter to appoint
delegate to go to Madrid ON a mission
connected with the Spanish prisoners
in the hands of the Filipinost 1t is,
therefore, thought probable that Agon-

was in sight before the recent fighting,
but that now Major General Otis will
not treat for peace until Malolos, the
Filipino headquarters, is taken.
