ASSESSMENTS.
What the Iron County Supervisors Intend
Doing This Year.

"What are you going to do with
assessments this year?" Is the question
that THE DIAMOND DRILL has been
asking OF the supervisors I'm all parts
OF the county and the replies, SO Far
received, 90 To prove that the super
yisors, without exception, are study
ing to do what is right TO all. They
all unite I'm saying that the action OF
the state tax commission In this coun-
ty last year was piece of high
handednesS: that the commissioners
did not equitably assess the property
OF the county There Is a feeling on
the part of all supervisors that wild
lands will have To ''comc up" and from
the replies So far received we should
Judge that the average increase in
value OF the wild lands OF this county
Will be fifty per cent above the values
on last years assessment rolls In
some townships il will not be possible
TO raise the lands very much and IN
others the increase can be made to
quite an extent and made Justly.
The sticker with all the supervisors
Is ON mine assessments. The east side
supervisors will probably get together
with the mining men in the course Of
week and talk this matter over
What expressions we have heard SO
far seem 10 Indicate an assessment of
mining property at about seventy per
cent OF the values placed on the mines
10y the tax commissioners and the ad-
justment OF some values that were out
of proportion.
In this connection IL may not be
amiSs TO say that in Honghton county
the mine values have been fixed at
sixty-nine per cent OF the values
placed thereon 10y the tax commits

many OF the members moved away at

Aaron Burr and the Judge.

James Kent. whose famous Com
mentaries on American Law" is classed
with Blackstone as the great textbook
on law, was a great admirer of Alex
ander Hamilton. and when the great
federalist was killed by Aaron Burr in
a duel, he became the implacable enc
my of the latter. One day long after
ward, when in New York, the judge
saw Burr on the opposite side of Mas
sau street; he went across as fast as
his years would permit. and, brandish-
ing his cane in Burr's face, shouted:
You're a scoundrel, sir-a scoundrel,
a scoundrelr' Burr proved equal to the
emergency. He raised his hat and
bowed TO the ground, and then said, in
his calmest professional tone: "The
opinions of the learned chancellor are
always entitled to the highest consld-

The fat of the nation has gone forth
against the mOngoose. Before Con-
gress adjourned a bill was passed by
both houses prohibiting its importa-
ton, says the Baltimore Herald. The
pugnacious little animal is henceforth
to be placed in the same category as
the Chinese.
The mongoose is a native of India.
1t is death to rats and snakes. For the
destruction 1t works among these pests
it is highly priced. But when it clears
out the rats and snakes it betakes it
self to birds and eggs and any sort of
small game it can get hold of. That is
why the Department of Agriculture
classifies it as Il noxiouS animal.
Weighed in the balance, away from its
native land, its vices are found to out
weigh its virtues, and therefore it is
to be kept out of Uncle Sans domains.
Thus far very few specimens of the
mongoose have been introduced into
this country. The edict of exclusion is
based mainly on the experience of ia
maica. That island once suff cred from
n plague of rats, which We're particu-
larly destructive in the cane fields.
They were held responsible for an an
nual loss of something like 100000. In
February, 1872, nine individuals of the
were introduced from India.
They increased with remarkable
rapidity and soon spread all over the
island, even to the tops of the highest
mountains. They proved inveterate
rat destroyers A decade after their
introduction it was estimated that
they We're saving the sugar planta-
tions S225,000 per annum. And the
mongoose was blessed.
Still the mongoose increased, and its
murderous habits became more and
more apparent and the rats diminish
ed. 1t destroyed young poultry, kids,
lambs, puppies, kittens, small game,
birds which nested on or near the
ground. eggs, ground lizards, frogs,
turtles eggs and land crabs. 1t was
also known to eat ripe bananas, pine
apples, young corn, pears, sweet pota-
toes, cocoanuts and other fruits. To
the mongoose came to be regarded as
the worst pest ever introduced into
the island-worse than the rats which
it destroyed. Then the mongoose was
officially mathematical.
Hawaii where the mongoose was in
troduced in 1881. underwent some
what similar experience, and in 1892
a law was passed forbidding the in
PRODUCTION, breeding or keeping of the
mongoose on that island. All of
which goes to show that the mongoose
is n good animal to let alone where ma
ture has placed 1t.

STOCK MEN ALL COIN0.

The fourth annual convention of tho
Salt Lake promises to be the largest
and most interesting gathering OF
stockmen ever held in this country.
Salt Lake City is going to cover itself
with glory in the manner in which the
visitors will be entertained. The con-
vention will be held in the Assembly
hall of the Mormon church and a grand
concert will be rendered the delegates
and visitors in the Tabernacle on the
first evening. The programme OF the
entertainment committee contemplates
events for each evening OF the conven-
tion and after the convention adjourns.
there are excursions to the mines and
elsewhere. Colorado Is going to send
large delegation and the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad will run a special
train, leaving Denver Sunday, January
13. which will reach Salt Lake City
the next day in time for the committee
meetings. The fare for the round trip
will be SIS from Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo and one fare from
other points in the state. Those con-
templating going should engage sleep
ing car accommodations at once. Write
to S. X. Hooper. general passenger
agent, Denver, or see any Rio Grande
ticket agent. 1t will be a delightful
midwinter trip, and no stockman who
is interested in the industry can af
ford not to attend the meeting.
