THINKS ASSESS
MENT TOO LOW
Supervisor OF Asses ssments COCh=
ran Wants SIS, 900 Added
to Milling Company.
ASSESSOR FAILED TO
NOTICE 125 HORSE POWER
Summons Sent to Milling Com
pany to Appear at Meeting
OF Board OF Review.

Supervisor of Assessments j. W,
Cochran served notice on the Grand
Rapids Milling company Saturday
that he would appear at the session OF
the Board of Review and move that
the company's assessment be raised
from $21, 900 to $46, 900. On the assess
ment roll the company has been
assessed $21 900. Attorney Cochran
maintains that Assessor Chandos has
failed to assess the Milling company S
125 electric horse power and that a
just valuation of this franchise is
S25, 900.
1t is claimed that the power is not
being used at present and that it is
therefore worcestershire. To this
Attorney Cochran replies: Suppose
man has 125 idle horses in pasture:
should they not be assessed?"
There are two vital questions that
Attorney Cochran asks and answers:
"What is the value of 125 horse power
to be furnished free of all cost of
production perpetually? Is such a
franchise or property asseSsable?
place the answer to the first question
at $4,000. The answer to the second
is certainly an affirmative one"
Should the board of review fail to
raise the Milling cOmpany'S assess
ment Attorney Cochran will bring
the matter before the county board.
1t is believed that the board then will
raise the city's tax and that all the
tax payers will, consequently, be
compelled to pay the tax chargeable
to one corporation.

company for 1903 are:

THE SEATON MINE.
The Senton Mine Is In Big Ore Shoot
That Promises Much Ore.

The Seaton company is opening up an
ore shoot 400 feet long and from six to
fourteen feet wide in the ninth level.
The ore Is of value of $50 per ton for
the smelling, although car load lots are
being shipped running several hundred
dollars to he ton. The ore shoot is
nothing new. haning continued from the
surface workings down to the present
depth, but its width has increased from
about ten inches to its present size of
about the same number of feet,
Drifting is under way in both the
eighth and ninth levels, both disclosing
the wide bodies of mineral Mines at
work on that property declare that moth
ing on Seaton mountain can compare
with it. Manager Goldsmith is in the
East consulting with officers of the COM
pany the question of erecting a mill for
handling the ores bv concentration. The
improvements in the mines will prove
gratifying to the company, which has
been hampered because of the need OF
machinery. A new compressor will be
installed and the ore bodies opened to
better advantage. 1t is the intention to
sink for about L 100 fee, to connect with
levels that will also be driven from the
Newhouse tunnel, thus giving a vast
scope of territory for the company to
work to that depth. The entire prop.
erty will then be prospected for, if like
other mines in the district, at least two
other ore shoots of equal size will be
found within the limits of the Seaton
group. One of these shoots is already
showing in the Seven-T Twenty, in the
surface workings, while another laws to
the west end of the group. The Seaton
is the only claim operated to any extent,
but its shoot has been proven to depth
of9oo feet, with rich ore showing in
the floor of the lower drift.
The Seaton is now the heaviest pro-
ducer of ore on Seaton mountain, both
smelling and milling ore being shipped
from driving the levels. With the inn
proved machinery placed and develop
ment continued as now under way the
mine will soon be producing as much
ore as any other half dozen mines in the
entire district.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
F. S. Goldsmith and W. H. Elwood Have
Opened An Office in Philadelphia.

Messrs. F. S. Goldsmith and w. H
Elwood, two of our most prominent mine
managers, have opened an office at 6I5
Real Estate Trust Building, corner Broad
aud Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, Pa,
for the handling of mines. They expect
to devote their entire time to the Idaho
Springs district mines and the handling
of the same in Philadelphia, and expect
to bring large amount of capital into
Clear Greek county. We understand
they have options on some of the best
propositions in the district, and have
glowing prospects, of placing one or two
propositions. Probably there are not
two more competent gentlemen, and who
have better knowledge of our mines
than these gentlemen, as they have had
long practical experience in handling
large paying mines here.

lower grade product will be hauled tc
the mill for treatment.
