ONLY A FAIR VALUE
PLACED ON LEAsEHoLos
BY Assessors During 1so5-Full Value
Next Year.

The publication of the figures of the
valuation placed on leaseholds in Ka.
nawha county and other counties Of
the State has aroused some comment
by reason of the fact that these fig
ures did not come up to expectation
of the tax officials and other advocates
Of the new tax laws. Tax Commits
sioner Dillon explained to a Mail
man the reason for the low figures
on the valuation of the coal and oil
leasehold. "In the first place the
leaseholds are new item to the tax
assessors and many of them are not
yet familiar with their value. Then,
again, we have not agreed upon a uni
form valuation of the leaseholds as
we will next year.
The assessment Of personal prop.
erty during the present year is on a
basis of its fair cash value and not
at its. true and actual worth as will
be the case next year when the as
SCISSORS are more familiar with the
laws and an actual value assessmen,
placed on all kinds of personal prop
erty including of course the much
talked of leaseholds. The assessment
of this species of property is being
left this year TO the discretion of the
assessor in each county.'-Charlesto

ever, advantage was not taken OF the
opportunity. Sensational plays
abounded. 1t remained for Ganiear
to furnish the piece de resistance.
After Wharton had gone out in the
seventh Willig pasted one on the nose
that was making tracks for the mid
die field fence. Ganiear raced along
with it and when in deep middle
jumped high in the air while on a
hard run and pulled 1t down with his
glove hand. This earned him mighty
cheer from the. crowd. Captain VIII

Conway also gained plaudits from

TOBERMOREY, Scotland, July t.
James Gush, the famous West of Scot
land diver, yesterday began work at
the scene of the wreck of the Florencia,
a treasure ship of the Spanish armada,
which was cast away on the coast of
Scotland while trying to makesits way
back to Spain after the armada's de-
feat. Within few hours he had suffi-
cient proofs in the form of sword
blades to show that the divers were
In close proximity to the treasure ship.
Later on he discovered what he be-
of the old Florencia.
1t was half buried in the mud, but
from what pieces of wood and brass
he collected it was probably the main
portion of the wreck which, after hav-
ing been blown up and sunk, has been
scattered about the sea floor by tides
through the past three centuries.
The duke Of Argyle is carrying on
the search for. the treasure ship just as
the preceding dukes of Argyle have
done ever since 1912. The present duke
has the advantage of the improved
modern diving apparatus. Should he
find the F'lorencias treasure the major
part of it will be taken by the crown
under the law of treasure trove.
