LEWISTON, IDAHO, Jan, 2s 1908.
To whom it may concern
have recently examined the Empire Group of
mines situated in the idaho Mining District, Idaho
County State of Idaho. This group consists of nine
mines, formerly owned Ivy A. d. Pardee aud Geo NJ;
Snyder, and now owned by the Alta-ldah' Gold and
Copper Mining Company.
These mines are essentially Gold, Silver and Cop

Assess the street railway company
at a reasonable figure, and the prob
lem is solved without further trouble
says Mr.. O'Neill.
According to the views of Mr.. O'NeilI
the street railway company should be
assessed upon a valuation of $4,000, 900
instead of $2,000,00O, the present basis.
Should this be done, the total assessed
valuation of the city would be $685.
100000, or $6,000,000 in excess of the
figure necessary to make the new law
operative.
There is no valid reason in the
world why the street railway COM
pany's assessment should not be rails
ed TO $900000O," said Mr. O'Neill. "The
St. Paul City Railway company is cap
company at $5,500,000. and the Still
water lines at 100000. total for
the three companies of $10,550, 900.
Only assets of the holding company
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
is the stock of these three companies,
yet the holding company, or merger, as
it might be called, has issued stock to
the amount of ST, 100000, which is now
worth 115, or Is points above par, with
none for sale on the market. Accord
ing to this line of figuring the other
stock, that which is assessed, should
be worth 1S5, or SIS points above par.
This would bring the assessable valu-
alton up to 100000, and there is no
way the street railway company could
get away from it should the matter be
pushed in the courts.
1.-The law plainly provides that cor
porations shall be assessed on the mar
ket or real value of the stock, and
there is no question as to the value of
this stock, when the common stock
pays per cent and the preferred
per cent. The common stock of the
company earned 8 per cent last year.
In this manner Mr.. O'Neill believes
the problem which now confronts the
city can be solved, and while the sug-
gested raise in the valuation of this
one corporation alone would be suffi-
cient TO make the law operative, Itr.
ONeill suggests that there are a num-

scene of half a dozen or more teams
dumping refuse into the big hole that

Ohage has set his mind on converting
it into a grass and flower bedecked
approach to the public baths. For the
doctors benefit all other dumping
grounds were closed, and now every

Assistant County Attorney
O'Neill Points Out That

Railway Company's Stock

PauIs Valuation Would
Be Far Above the Requir-
ed Limit.

Assistant County Attorney O'Neill,
who has studied the question with
much care, says there is still a chance
for the city of st. Paul to place itself
in a position to take advantage of the
law passed by the last legislature, the
object of which was to enable the
city to issue some 100000 worth of
bonds, but which was made inopera-
tive through an error by which the
word inclusive" was inserted in place
of exclusive" AS the bill reads, as
passed. the assessed valuation of the
city would have to be raised some So
100000 before the proposed issue could
be legally made, and the indebtedness

Man Who Forfeited His Bond.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April %. = Circuit
Attorney Folk has applied for an at
tachment on the property of Charles
Kratz, of the city council, who is un-
der Indictment for bribery, and who
is now in Mexico. He owns property
in st. Louis valued at nearly $75, 600.
The petition recites that Kratz has be-
come a citizen of Mexico and that I'M
der the laws of Missouri an alien can
not hold property in this state. Circuit
Attorney Folk says that if Kratz wants
to defend his property rights in Mis-
souri, he will have to come within the
jurisdiction of the courts her0 thus
rendering himself liable to trial for
bribery.
Kratz forfeited his bond for 5000
when he went to Mexico. The case
will be called for trial at the June
term of the circuit court here.
