city, yesterday petitioned the district
court for writ of mandamus directed
to county Auditor w r. Johnson, to
compel him to execute and deliyer to
them certificates showing amount of taxes
due on certain property sold at the for
fixture tax sale last spring. Late yes
terday afternoon Judge Otis granted the
writ which is made returnabie Satur-
day morning. 1t is understood that sew
eral lots belonging to the petitioners
were sold at the forfeiture tax sale last
spring, among them being lot l, block
/, of East Brighton addition, which they
claim was sold to P. ]. Farwen for 10
cents The petitioners claim that no no.
tice of the period of redemption of said
sale has ever been issued, and that the
right to redeem from said tax sale has
not been terminated or in any way eX-
tinguished Continuing, they allege that
on Dec 10 they requested County Aud

them, in accordance with the statutes,
his official certificate showing the amount
due for the redemption of same. which
he refused to co.
Furthermore, they claim that a person
only has to pay the amount for which

it, while the opinion of the attorney gen
eral holds that in order to redeem man
must pay the total amount of taxes due.

Orcas and Blakely Mines.

A recent issue of the Fairhaven Herald
says that assays ola number of samples
of ore from the Sunset group Of mining
claims on Orcas, made few days ago at
Seattle, gave the following results:

free milling, $500 gold, 81 cents silver,
S6.7l total; lower blue wall rock, 2S9
gives an verage per ton of both gold and
silver for the entire l2-foOt vein of $267 81.
The mine is located on the northwest side
of Mt. Constitution, two miles north of
Newhall, at a l7OO-foot elevation. 1t is
now reached by trail from East Sound,
four and One-half miles. Some parties
are expected to arrive soon from Cali
fornia to look the claim over, survey a
route from the property down to Lang
don's lime kiln, and make the owners IA
proposition to build u tramway to tide
water, which is expected to cost about
1000, and will be two miles long. When
this is done the mine will be ready to ship
ore at the rate of seventy-1ive to 100 tons
per day"
The Herald i'm the same issue mentions
the copper property on Blakely and says:
"The company is now sinking shaft
that is already down more than fifty feet,
and is running in a tunnel from the beach
