Denver. Colo. Nov. 2i.-Dlstrict
Judge Palmer gave his opinion In the
Trnmway tax ease yesterday and. NJ
n result Of his decision Arapahoc coun.
~ will bc SSi.O2l richer.
Suit brought by the Trnmway com
pany was to prevent the county ns.
SCISSOR from fixing the assessment OF
the Tramwny company. The counsel
for the Tramway contcnded that the
company was railroad company ana
therefore subject TO assessment only
by the state board OF equalization.
Counsel did not contend that the COM
pany's franchise was not asscssnble.
The assessment Of both the state ana
county boards OF equalization was
based on the same amount OF property
including the franchise. Until the year
1Sy6 the Tramway company had paid
its taxes on the county boards ASSESS
ment. In 1896 the Tramway took the
ground that the company was n rail-
road and not railway company. In
accordance with this view II returned
n schedule of valuation to the state
board of equalization and the board
has ever since made an assessment on
Its schedule. The county board mas
also made an assessment on the prop
erty and when the Trnmway company
refused to pay the county assessment
in 1897 n suit was begun to prevent the

FROM STRATTON'S
INDEPENDENCE

London, Nov. 27.-Hcrnld-Republi
can Special.-NIr. Hammond says II
his report that on account of the rob
hing of the ore bodies the great STRAIT
tons Independence mine has been lef'
In n condition which makes Il close cs
timntion of the ore reserve difficult. as
the available ore. ns far rs the present
development extends, will not exceed
100000 tons of n gross value OF %.3u,
600, which will give II net yield or 81
100000 for dividends.
In common with the other ore dcpos
its, poor horizons occur in the GRIPPE
Greek district. and to what depths II
will be necessary TO sink before other
zones of payable naturalization are
found cannot be determined Mt present
without systematic development.
This problem is especially difficult of
determination In the case of Strattoh
Independcncc, as there are other deep
or developments in this part of the dis
trict.
1'wo courses are open to the COM
pany, says Mr.. Hammond.
The first Is to devote the net earn
inrs solely for dividend purposes.
The second alternative is to appro-
nriote Sass. 900 of the net earnings to
noyment of n dividend. leaving the bal
nnce for the most complete system or
cynloration of this horizon. and partic.
uInrly of that section below the old
workings.
This policy contemplates the pay
ment of dividends derived from the
present ore reserves to the extent OF
SiSS. 900 for one year, inclusive OF the
current quarter. l.,

The suit has been In the courts for

The total amount due the county In
