BLUE BELL TEAM WINS CLOSE
GAME.
(r.om Wednesdays Daily)

That the baseball fever has tak"r
hold in all the large mining camps ~
the county goes without saying, as it
is evident from the number of teams
organized during the past month and
the enthusiasm manifested wherever
rival teams appear to contest suprc
macy on the diamond.
On Sunday last the Blue Bell nine
crossed bats with the Mayer team at
Mayer, the Blue Bells appearing for
the first time In public.
The game was interesting and exert.
ing throughout. much roofing being
done by the friends of both mines. At
the end of the seventh inning, the
score stood q to > in favor of the Blue
Bells. the field work of both teams be.
my the subject of much favorable com.
mcnt from the local critics Of the ma.
tional game.
The result of the game only served
TO whet the nppctit,s Of the rival
mines for another go. and it is expected
that some brilliant work will be seen
at the next game played between these
two teams.
Both the Mayer and Blue Bell
teams are anxious, IL is said to cross
bats with the crack mines Of this city
and II is to be hoped that the TIVE
match games may be arranged, similar
to the plays here on Sunday last when
Prescott came out victorious over the
Humboldt smokc-caters and the Salt
River valley nine, which was consider
ed almost invinciblc to any team in
the territory.

MINING TAX CASE SETTLED IN

BY number Of decisions handed
down n few days ago by the Colorado
State Supreme Court tho Teller county
tax cases, involving a large number Of
mines have been finally settled in fa.
vor OF the mine owners Practically all
OF the mines in Teller county were or.
iginally involved in this dispute. M.
u. Lysight county assessor, since de.

ing properties considerably. in excess of
the valuations usually made under the
provisions Of the state law, and also
greater than the assessed valuation Of
similar properties in other counties
This assessment if it had stood. would
have compelled Teller county to bear
dispropor,ionately large share Of the
burden OF, state taxation. As provided
by law, the mine owners appealed from
the assessor to the board of county
commissioners, and the board sustained
the assessor. Appeal was then taken
from the commissioners TO the district
court, and this court decided in favor
OF the mine owners by ordering a reduc.
ton OF the assessment. The assessor
and commissioners appealed from the
district court. A decision on this an.
peal was rendered by the court of an.

Under the Colorado law, mining
claims for the purposes OF assessment
are divided into two classes producing
and non producing. At the time Mr.
Lysight was assessor, a non-producing
mining claim was legally defined A. a
claim whose production was annually
less than $1,000. At the present time
the law defines a non producing claim
as one whose annual production 10 less
than $4,000. Non-producing claims
are given an assessed valuation Of one.
fourth Of $4,000, which amounts 10
$3.50. The law provides that produe.
ing claims shall be given an assessed
valuation Of one fourth of the gross
proceeds Of their production. The net
proceeds are defined ms the gross pro
cccds less the cost of extracting the
ore from the mine, shipping IL TO a re-
duction plant, and the cost Of treat
mcpt. The law further provides that
IL the net proceeds exceed one-fourth

cost Of taking the ore from the mine,
the freight charges together amount to
only 100000, then the net proceeds Of
the mine would be 100000, and the a.
scsscd valuation under the law would
be 100000.
