RAISE THE TAX
Assessments on Iron Properties Said
to Be Too Small.

Assessments on Iron Properties Said
to Be Too Small.
Duluth, April 16.-In short time
another tax measure will be agitated
in Minnesota, and that is the increase
of the assessments on the iron proper
ties. Complaints will be made to the
governor that the mining property is
being assessed at grossly inadequate
rates, and under the law he must ap-
point commissioner to look into the
matter. The present assessments
amount to less than 10000 900, while
it is proposed to raise them to $751;
100000. The sale of the Lake Super
Tor Consolidated iron mines to the
new steel trust furnishes good basis
on which to work. The terms Of the
offer for Consolidated stock makes the
value of the mines owned by that cor
poration about $60,000,0 900, and they
shipped last year two-hfths Of the
total ore shipments from Minnesota.
At that rate. the total would be $780,
100000, and at the prevailing assess
ment rate of so per cent the mines
would have to pay taxes on $75,000,.
600. One prominent mining authority
says that the Consolidated properties
alone are worth $200, 100000.

MISSIONARY LOSSES.
French Government Looking After
Catholic Claims.

French Government Looking After
Catholic Claims.
! Washington, April 17.-ln the dis
cussion of Chinese indemnities which
is going on at Picking and also at the
various foreign capitals it has been
developed that the French govern
ment is DESTROYS Of looking after not
only those claims of distinctly ma
fional character relating to France
and French injuries, but also the ex-
tensive class of claims of Catholic
institutions and missionaries. In max
ing known this desire the French au-
thorities have made it clear that they
look upon the non-military claims as
quite as worthy of consideration as
those connected with the equipment
of military expeditions. The extent
of these depredations to Catholic per-
sons and property in China is said to
be very large, owing to the number OF
Catholic missions maintained through
out China. It is said that some 3d.
900 persons, directly and indirectly
connected with the missions, many Of
them native converts, have been killed
or injured during the course of the
disturbance. Besides this much prop
erty has been destroyed and damaged.
AS the Catholic authorities have no Of
fetal status in the negotiations at Pc
king they have naturally looked to the
French government as most likely to
render them such aid as might be
proper in the circumstances. This as
sistance has been readily granted and
rs result the various governments
have been advised of the desire Of the
French authorities to see that these
non-military losses receive suitable at
tention. AS far as possible it is de-
sired to separate this class of claims
from those Of a purely national and
military character and to leave them
for subsequent adjustment. The
claims refer not only to French Cath
Ollie missions and missionaries, but in
clude also practically the entire range
Of claims in which Catholic missions
have suffered.
