Supreme Court Decisions.

The supreme court set aside the de-
cision or the lower court which entered
a fine of $4,000 against each of four
railroads for incorrect reporting of
gross earnings as charged by Railroad
Commissioner Thomas. The roads are
the Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis e Omaha and the
Minneapolis, st. Paul e Sault Ste.
Marie. The ad valorem tax law itself
is upheld. The law, which was passed
by the legislature in 1903, changes the
system of assessing railroads from Ii
cense tax to a percentage upon a valu-
alton set by the state tax commission
sitting as state board of assessment.
The law provides that the railroads
shall pay into the state treasury the
regular fee as paid under the gross
earnings system and that when the
valuation of the road is made and the
assessment rate determined any excess
shall be paid back to and any deficien-
cy shall be made good by the railroad
company. The act was attacked by the
Chicago & Northwestern. The Wis
consin Inheritance tax law was sus-
tanned. 1t imposes a tax upon every
transfer of property, real or personal,
either by will or the laws of the state,
or in contemplation of the death of
the owner, to take effect after his
death. Transfers under power of at
torney are also subject to the tax. The
tax SO imposed is upon the clear mar
ket value of the property at the rates
imposed by law and upon the excess
of exemptions granted by law. The
rates range from one per cent. in the
case of wife, husband, lineal issue, or
lineal ancestor of the deceased to five
per cent. in the case of most distant
relatives. The rates of taxation are
graded according to the value Of the es-
tates.

The City in Fear.

Fully $500 people spent Sunday,
June II, outside of Madison because
Of d superstitious fear of the destruc-
ton of the city, as predicted by ne
gro exhorter, who said the waters of
Lakes Mendoza and Monona would
rise up and ingulf the city because Of
its iniquities. The exhorter called
himself Prof. Jones. The prophecy
was the talk of the city for several
days and scores of timid people drew
their deposits from the banks and left
town. Hundreds crossed the lakes
to pleasure parks and railroads had to
put on extra coaches to accommodate
the outward rush. One man rushed
a houseboat to completion and, with
his family, occupied it. University
professors and ministers sought to al
lay the fear through the newspapers,
but tSey were of no avail. Most of the
frightened ones returned to the city
in the evening.

Rate Body Hears Pleas.


Several petitions for orders for lower
railroad rates on livestock and lumber

cars and to erect and maintain depot
at Lewiston, between Portage and Kill
bourn, were heard by the railroad rate
commission. The settlement of these
matters and other matters recently
heard, including the petitions for two
cent passenger rates will, it is expect
ed, practically finish the work of the
commission for the summer At the

Northwestern and Omaha roads be-
tween Mondovi and Milwaukee,; on
that of A. H. Kronskat of Richland
Center for lower rates on lumber on
the Milwaukee road, and for joint rates
on the Northwestern and Milwaukee
roads; on that of Don G. Hall of Ste
vens Point to compel the Wisconsin

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our Special Cores
pendent Madison.

Madison.-The state geological sur
vey is Systematically studying the con-
dition of the roads of the state, to-
gether with the methods used in
building them and keeping them in
repair. 1t is taking up this investiga-
ton for the purpose of spreading as
widely as possible the knowledge of
how to build roads properly and how
to care for them in the most econom-
ical and intelligent manner. Particu-
lar attention is being paid to the COM
mon dirt road, as it is evident that
most roads must be made of dirt
found along the roadway for many
years to come, and therefore informa-
ton as to the cheapest and best means
of making such roads will be of
greatest value. Letters inclosing a list
of questions concerning the roads in
his township will be sent to each
town clerk in a few days. 1t is i'm
portant that complete set of data
such as these questions ask for should
be in the hands of the geological sur
vey as soon as possible. Any person
interested can then find where the best
methods of road work in any county
are being used, and any advice the
survey may be asked for will be based
on complete knowledge of conditions
which would be difficult to obtain in
any other manner. There is over ST.
100000 spent annually upon the roads
Of the state by people who know but
little of the fundamental principles Of
road building, and as a consequence
much of it is wasted. If the people of
the state were to spend $1,000,000 in
any other way they would insist on
wise, economical management. There
is no reason why dirt roads>should not
be passable at all seasons of the year
and afford much more use and pleas
ure than they do at present.

values of from $50 to $3.50 to the ton
and they will make shipment in the

were suspended. 1t seems that not
withstanding that fact the company
was in debt and failed to make the
mine pay. Strangely enough the lessees
who then took up the work are making
it pay, jr why should they work? We
have always considered this very val
liable property and we are endeavoring
to ascertain to whom the mine was
leased? In the meantime the secretary
of the company makes the following
plain statement:
"In reply to your letter of inquiry
concerning Tonopah Gold Mountain,
will say that the company was in debt
to the extent of $4,000, which we have
reduced to $4,000 by the sale of treasury
stock, and we still have plenty on hand
to pay off all the indebtedness if we
could dispose of it at fair figure.
"The reason we shut down the mine
was that we could not make it pay,
therefore decided to lease. At the next
/ annual meeting Of the stockholders OF
the company the whole matter will
come up and be thoroughly rehashed
when we shall tell all the stockholders
what we will do for the best interests
of the company.
E. SUTRo, Secretary.
The annual meeting will be held in
August. At the last annual meeting it
was reported that the company was in
} excellent financial condition and that
: there was a large quantity of high
grade and low grade ore on the dump.
! Taking that into consideration with the
fact that more ore was shipped last fall
E than ever before we are at loss to
3 reconcile all the statements which came
r from those who should know what they
Y are talking about.

what third-class, or milling ore, we en-
counter in mining the first-class. Also
have several shoots of frst-class ore an
different levels that we are not working
on account of limited hosting capacity.
We intend continuing development work
on the different levels as fast as our
machinery will permit, so when the
time arrives for steady output and divi-
dends, there will be no delay or let-up.
"During the past three months there
have been hoisted 2638 mine cars of
shipping ore, 1151 cars of third-class or
