The Belmont.

A new four-foot ledge has been en-.
countered on this property on the
Sl4 foot level. An assay of several
samples chosen at random from this
ledge shows values which reach $8S
per ton. 1t is said that the Belmont
will shortly connect with the North
Star, for the purpose of securing
better ventilation to both properties.
During the early part of the week, a
carload of ore was shipped, the value
of same being between 1925 and $3.50
per ton. @et t4 a..
Golden Anchor.
Work is progressing satisfactorily
in this mine. As published last week,
station will be cut when the shaft
now being sunk shall have reached
the 4l0 foot level. 1t is believed by
the management that many veins
traverse this property, and these
will shortly be sought by active
crosscutting
MOntana-TonOpah.
No detailed report of this week S
development in this property has
been made public, but elsewhere in
these columns will be found full ac-
count of the $4,000 dividend de.
clared By the company.
Blue Bull.
Assays made this week from ore
taken from this property shows val.
ues running as high as $500 per ton.
The average width of the ledge from
which this ore was taken seems to be
ABOUT four feet.
The Midway.
Several upraises are in progress in
this mine and some good ore is being
removed and sacked for milling pur.
poses. THERE'S no important change

since last week.

RAISED THE ASSESSMENT
Sleepy Eye FreehoIders VIII Appeal fro

Sleepy Eye FreehoIders VIII Appeal from
Action of the County Board.
NEW ULM, MINN.-Several prom
inent men Of Sleepy Eye are in the city
to-day for the purpose Of securing data
for an appeal from the recent action of
the county commissioners in raising the
assessments of that place. The asses
sor failed to put more than 100 names on
the list and the returns showed an amount
so far below the valuation, that the sus-
picion Of the board Of equalization was
aroused and the following resolution
passed:
''Be it Resolved, That it is the opinion
Of the board Of equalization that the val
uation Of each Of the classes Of personal
property in the assessment district of
Sleepy Eye lake, as returned by the as
SCISSOR for 1908, Is below its full and true
value"
This resolution was followed by the
citation of figures to show that since 1901
the number assessed has dropped from
301 to 100 persons, and the valuation
returned from s129,893 to $117,435. The
publication Of this statement has aroused
the ire Of some Of the citizens and they
will attempt to prove its falsity, assert
ing they are too heavily assessed. --.l--

PLANkINGToN BANK SETTLEMENT
Creditors Were Paid a Total Of SEE Per

Cent In Dividends.
MILWAUKEE, WIS.-The P1ankington
bank litigation, which has been in the
courts in various phases for ten years,
was settled. Yesterday by an order of
Judge Tarrant. Objections to- the pro-
posed, settlement. were made by three
creditors but the arguments offered BY
them did not avail Judge Tarrant said
he thought it best for all interests in
yolved that the litigation be ended.
Under the settlement the American
Bonding company, signer Of the bond Of
Henry Herman as assignee, will pay to
the assignee s36,440.79, the balance due
when Herman left the city. Herman is
allowed $1,000 assignees fees for the last
two years. William Plankinton will re-
ceive 100000 in full Of all claims against
the bank, and will dismiss his appeal from
that part of Judge Slebecker's decision
surcharging his account with $16,360 In
the Lappen matter.
, Attorneys J. B. Doe, M M. Riley and
Moritz Wittig will receive $4,000 each in
addition to the amounts they have re-
; ceived as compensation for their services
to Henry Herman as assignee and for all
costs and expenses of the Cores suit.
There is no possibility of another d1v1-
dend to the creditors. After paying Mr..
Plankinton and Herman's attorneys, $4,000
, remains to recompense the assignee and
his attorneys. The bank has paid a total
of 62h per cent dividends and that Is
all that will be paid.
