Increase on Mines.

The members of the st. Louis
county board OF equalization feel
better. After wrestling since last
week Tuesday with the iron and tim
ber assessments, they have finally
settled them, and now it is up to the
state board of equalization, which
will probably have Il try at them
later.
The net result of the boards work
is net increase of about $4,000. 900 in
the valuations of these two leading
interests in this county. Of this
$500, 600 goes on the pine interests and
the balance on the iron deposits.
Most OF the Increase is due TO new
property placed on the tax rolls for
the first time, and the valuations on
properties that were on two years ago
have not been increased very much
on the whole, though individual prop
critics have been both raised and
lowered.
The board practically agreed on the
actionit was to take Friday afternoon.
and roughly speaking this action was
raise of 10 per cent on the figures
submitted by the iron interests and
the placing of the timber interests
back to figure somewhat in excess
of last years values. Saturday morn
ing the final work was done, and the
board adjourned after embodVing all
Of its work in resolution and pass
ing it.

interests were not followed absolutely

the town council, was for two years

neers' club of New York city: and for
forty years member Of the Mt.

He was practically acquainted with
every field Of business life from that

remarkable fund of wit and ofpointed
but stingless repartee. which made
him the most delightful of compan-
ions qualities which naturally
brought him friends without limit.
These and other qualities also made
him presiding officer under whose

Jasper R. Rand was born Sept. II,
1887, in Westfield. Mass, of d family
dating its American ancestry from
1885 and including two colonial gov
ernors, and which WAS well repre-
sented in the Revolutionary War.
He obtained his education in the
public schools and academy OF his
native town and in Fairfax, Ner-
mont.
His earliest business connection was
with his father, who was manufac-
turer of whips when Westtield was
the headquarters of that industry,
In 1865 his father retired from ausi-
ness. and Mr.. Rand and his younger
brother, Mr.. Addison G. Rand. sue

In 1870 he removed to New York
and was for time associated with
another brother, Mr.. Albert L. Rand.
president of the Latin s. Rand Pow
der company. In 1872 Mr.. Addison e.
! Rand began the manufacture OF the
Rand rock drills and other mining
machinery. and the two brothers sub
sequently organized the Rand Drill
company, with Mr.. A. c. Rand as
president and Mr.. j. r. Rand as
4 treasurer, which arrangement contin-
ued until the death of Mr.. A, G, Rand
in March, which left the chief office
vacant, when Mr.. j. r. Rand was
elected to the position. From small
beginnings this business has develup

St. Louis County Not In 1t.

The new Minnesota primary elect
ion law will be given trial in Henne-
pin county in September, when city
and county candidates foI Office will
be selected. Although the law is of
necessity general in is scope, so as
not to conflict with the constitution,
it applies only to Hennepin county.
as it is provided that its application
shall be only TO counties having 20O.-
600 population and upward. Ramsey
county possibly may have that many
people now, but it is said that that
division of the state has no official
record Of 100000 people. The Ramsey
county senatorial delegation was op-
posed to the new law, though the St.
Louis county delegation favored it.
The original bill applied to the entire
state, but the country members kick
ed and it was so amended that only
Hennepin. Ramsey and st. Louis
were affected. Ramsey was opposed
w 10, anu ChSlc was liO way VI uAihS
the matter so that Hennepin and st.
Louis could enjoy the law as Ramsey
county was between the two in the
matter of population. So it was ar
ranged that Hennepin should be bene-
| fitted and let it go at that. Under
the new law the primary elections are
held directly under the authority Of
the state. just as are general elections
at observation-disclosures.

dition the board wanted to make the
total assessment on iron properties
S7.100, 900, and after making its raise
OF 10 per cent it was still Si29, 300
short of that figure. This sum Was
1 distributed between half dozen OF
the larger mines. bringing the total
up to the figure named. The assess
ments on the iron interests two
years ago amounted 20 s5, ,8IA, ,416, and
this year they are 81. 100, coo, as equal
lied by the board. making an increase
of 81 ,2s4.5S4.
The timber and timber lands were
assessed two years ago at S4,858, ,oz3,
and the assessor for unorganiZed
towns returned them this year at So
293, ,S05. In doing this he reduced the
values on the lands themselves, but
raised the values on the standing
timber. The board let the lands
stand and reduced the values on the
pine 50 per cent. making the assess
ment S.. GAG, 900 for this year, an in
crease of little less than SSOO.0O0.
There are still some complaints in
eases where the assessor in making
his valuation allowed for more pine
than there is on the lands, according
| to the owners. and some of the own
ers in that situation appeared this
morning. They were told that it
would be impossible for the board to
go into individual cases, but that they
had "a remedy in an application for an
| abatement of taxes before the board
of county commissioners. They were
told that if they could show that the
pine on the lands owned by them did
not amount TO as much as they are
assessed for, the board would grant
the abatement.
The valuations of the Ely mines as
they stand now are as follows COM
pared with tile valuations of 1898:
