TAX PATENTED CLAIMS.
to Nevada's Constitution
Provides Appraisement of $500 Each.

Sufficient of the election returns are
in to show that the proposed constitu-
tional amendment placing an arbitrary
advertisement of 500 upon all patented
mining claims has carried by large ma
ioritv and that il is now law, says
Nevada exchange. The amendment was
proposed by the legislature of 1893, ratl-
fled by the legislature of 1905. and In the
recent election was adopted by the peo-
pie thus making it a part of the state
constitution. The purpose of the amend
ment is to compel the owners of patented
claims to work them and to deliver into
new hands patented claims that have
been abandoned permanently by the own
ers Scattered all over Nevada are thou
sands of valuable claims that were taken
no and patented many years ago. They
have since been lying idle, the owners
having no intention whatever of working
them again. They cannot be legally TAX
en- by prospectOrs who are anxious TO
reopen the mines inasmuch as they can
not be sold for taxes as the present min
ing tax is upon the bullion output alone.
Next wear, when taxes become delln-
ouent. these claims will be Offered for
sale as delinquent property They VIII
ha sold at auction. and for many of them
will be sharp bidding. In ANTICIPATION OF
the sale next year, mining men are now
searching the records to spot claims
of value which they think can be bought
for song While many men supported
the amendment for selfish reasons the
people of the state considered IL neces-
sarV addition to the constitution.

How Battle is Being Waged Between

The recent decision of the federal court
in Utah whereby the smelters were en-
ioined from smelling ores which con-
tanned more than 10 per cent in sulphur
unless they provided some apparatus
which would reduce the amount of sui
phur coming from the flues, has called
attention to an important action now
pending in the federal court in Mon
tana. saws a Boston financial paper. AT
first view il was supposed that the Utah
decision would have a direct bearing,
and would perhaps be precedent in the
action against the Washoe smelter at
Anaconda. Amalgamated interests, now
eyer insist that the same conditions OF
affairs does not exist in Montana as in
Utah. In the latter state the land AFFECT
ed by the shelters has large agricul-
turai value, while in Montana the iapd
and fumes from the Washoe Smelter Is
practically barren waste and of little ag-
ricuIturaI value.

MINING In NORTH UTAH.
Litigation Commences, Showing
Country Has Properties of Value.

Newton Farr yesterday filed suit in the
district court against the Logan Mining
Mineral Point mines, says the Logan
Journal. According to the complaint,
when the Incorporation OF the company
took place on July Is, 1906 Mr.. Farr
owned interests in the Mountain View,
Ethel and Leah claims. situated in Para
disc canyon, and he agreed to deed these
interests to the Logan Mining company
for a consideration of 100000 shares of
its capital stock. He AYERS that he did
transfer this property to the company,
but that the company has refused to de-
liver the stock to him. He recites the
fact that this stock is about to be sold to
E. II. Wilson for 10 cents a snare, or
80 600 for his lot. He also asserts that
the company has about 10000 shares of
stock in it's treasury and that his share
of this would amount IN value 10 ABOUT
81 500 so he asks Judgment for s1A5W. or
that the company be compelled to deliver
to him the stock as agreed. He asks for
a restraining order preventing Wilson
from paying the $1,000 TO the company in
case the option now on the claims is taken

membered, is for 100000 cash, and ii is
said that this amount will be paid over

The showing in the Royal Flush mine
is so good that the owners feel justified
in pushing the development work with
all possible haste. and to that end are
advertising for bids on another s0-foot
tunneling contract. This will carry the
tunnel into the hill 200 feet, and it is ex-
pected that when that point is reached
there will be some unusually good news
for the stockholders. With every foot OF

of the ore has increased, and every one
connected with the property is confident
and enthusiastic as to the final result.

Stack Three Hundred Feet High.
When the Washoe smelter was built
great care was taken to obviate any
possible i'll effects from the smoke ana
fumes by building the great stack 70 Ine
height of $50 feet on top of hill at least
300 feet above the general Level or the
valley THE farmers however, were not
appeased by this care IN bulldlng, anu
made demands for damages, as theF ndu
before during the existence of the old
time smelters. They were not IMPOSED
to let UP in their demands as they had
heretofore secured something like S4OV'-
600 in the way OF settlements LOT dltSSu
damages. They therefore formed COM
pany known as the Deer Lodge Valley
Farmers association, representing over ~
per cent of the land in the valley and
the south part of Powell county adjoin-
ing The association entered claim for
s. 10000 for alleged damages, in addition
to the $4,000 damages heretofore PAID
its members. A committee appointed by
the association. however, cut down TINS
demand to 81. 10000. and then further re-
duced il by the amount previously PAID
as damages, reducing the claim TO $l.l2o,-
731 in approved claims and Sl21.gIs in I'M
approved claims. For this amount the
association makes a general proposition
10 the Amalgamated company to trans
fer the title to all the property. land and
water rights represented by the assocl.
alton. This would include about $3.50
acres of land at between SIS and s19 per
acre.
AmaIgamated interests declare that the
amount of damages claimed is preposter-
ous. and that the farmers and their So
called association are simply bent on
making a strike" The outcome OF the
case will be awaited with interest by
ali smelling interests throughout the
country.
