IMPORTANT
TAX QUESTION
APPEAL COURT FOR OAHU AP-
POINTED BY GOVERNOR
DOLE.
LARGE NEW. ASSESSMENTS THAT
WILL BE CONTESTED.
The Good win" of Commission Firms
Held to be Taxable Property
Appeals This Year.

II. G. Winston, s. X. Kane and J. +.
Brown will constitute the Tax Appeal
court for the island of Oahu, having
been appointed by Governor Dole The
court meets from the first to the 20th
of August, for the hearing of appeals
from the valuations by Assessor Pratt.
Though there have been many raises
of valuations, the court will probably
have less business this year than it
had last
The most important business to come
before the court will be appeals by
Brewer and Company and Castle and
Cooke, on a law question that will be
taken to the Supreme court whichever
side wins before the tax appeal court.
This involves the Question of the legal
ity of an assessment of the business OF
such firms. In the past the assess
ments have been confined to the tam
gible property held by the CORPORA
tfons. 1t Is now held, however. that
the business itself. the good will" is
taxable property. In the case Of Brew
er and Compang this is valued at about
million and half. The clear addi-
ton to this firms taxes is therefore
quite heavy, and the proposition will
be contested to 2 finish. Robertson and
Wilder appear for the assessor.
The decision of the question invol-
we'd in these suits will have an impor-
tant effect on taxation in the future, as
tGCre are a number of firms that will
probably be called upon to pay more
and hand in further returns in the flu
ture, If Ii is held that the levy as it
has been made is a correct one.
In the general property assessments
there were about 1900 raises made this
year, In spite of this great number of
increases the number of appeals that
will be contested before the court pro-
misses to be only about so. The system
under which the assessment has been
done appears to have met with general
satisfaction, and those who started to
complain have nearly all been convinc-
ed of the justice of the raises given
them.
Most of the appeals are from real
property assessments, and are to be de-
cided by simply submitting to the court
the facts as to the assessments of ad-
joining property, and the nature and
condition vi the property on which the
appeal is taken. Few of these cases
will go beyond the appeal court. The
income tax questions We're mostly rails
ed and decided last year. when ap-
peals went to the Supreme court on
several questions as to assessments of
estates.
In addition to the court on Oahu there
are to be four other tax appeal courts,
sitting at the same time. Two will be
in the judicial circuits of Hawaii one
in the third circuit, Maui Molokai and
Lanai, and one in the fifth circuit,

 KL0H[)IKE Big Sale of Mines on Che
 ChakO Hill. A BIG SYNDICATE Of Pennsylvania Capitalists Will Open Up Ground Of a
 Large Scale.
A BIG SYNDICATE

Dawson, Y. T., July ls.-The greater part of the producing part of the famous Chechako Hill on Bonanza creek has been secured by a big syndicate represented here by F.. F.. Andrews, who leaves sstonight for Seattle to secure ma ehinery for working the big properties on what is perhaps the most extensive scale yet planned for the working of any one group of claims in the camp. Forty claims are emllaced in the group and take in the most valuable hill, bench and creek claims fronting on Bo- nap "a and Adams creeks and hill claims on the hill proper.
 One hundred tons of machinery, in- cluding pumps and other apparatus, are to be brought in, and the hill worked will be torn down in time so As to appear as though some mighty earthquake had torn and shattered the locality and overthrown the symmet- rical pile of gold charged earth and gravel.
 The packers of the big syndicate are Pennsylvania capitalists how holding mining properties in Colorado, Nevada and Peru, South America, and men of the kind who do not hesitate to put out heavy sums where there is likelihood of reasonable returns.
 Options are shown by the books in the gold commissioners office to have been . filed on Chechako properties to the aggregate of more than $lC0,000. Tho equipment which it is designed to bring to tho camp likely wifi di0Ghle 9e treble this sum, yet no positive figures have been obtained on this. N
 lAmong the properties on which op. tfons are secured are those of the Yu- tkon Gold Fields and Mir. Doig. Some of the options secured stipulate as high as ee0,oOO or more to be paid for several
