CLARK ANSWERS
MINE CRITICS
RESISTS UNITED VERDE TAX
AS UNJUST
Tells Territorial Committee Amount
Of Ore Blocked Is Mere Guesswork
and Reports of Fabulous
Offers Are Absurd
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator w.
A. Clark of Montana appeared before
the house committee on territories to-
day and made a statement concerning
the tax assessment on the United Verde
mine at Jerome, Arizona, which has
been mentioned frequently in the joint
statehood hearings as one of the great
mining properties alleged to be escap-
ing just taxation under the present
territorial organization.
Representative Hamilton, chairman
of the committee, said there was no de-
sire on the part of the committee to
question a United States senator, but
Representative Moon interjected:
II would just as soon question
United States senator as anybody else
il he knew anything 1 want to know"
Mr.. Moon then explained that the
charge had been r,lde OF unjust and
corrupt taxation of he United Verde
property and asked senator Clark to
make a statement.
Contests Tax Once
Senator Clark explained that he was
the chief owner of the mine in ques-
llOIl anu Sdlu lie IldU dlMdy DdlQ lDb
full tax levied except one time. when
the tax was contested because it was
thought to be unjust. He said he was
not fully prepared to make detailed
statement, but thought his company
was paying taxes on about $1,200,000
assessed against the improvements and
personal property it owned. This repre-
scented an assessment, he said, larger
than some properties pay in Montana
or any other state he pays taxes in.
Senator Clark refuted newspaper
statements that the mine was worth
more than $1,000 900. He said there
were mere guesses as to the amount of
ore yet unblocked and absolutely TN
reliable.
Ore May Play Out
ct defy any one to estimate accurate
ly the value of the mine," said SEN
ator Clark. "The eye cannot reach be-
yond the ground and ore which seems
to be in inexhaustible quantities may
play out at any time
Chairman Hamilton showed a news
paper clipping in which Senator Clark
was quoted as saying he had rejected
an offer of s25,000,000 for the United
| Verde mine. Senator Clark denied the
| quotation and said he had never Of
| fered to sell the property and had
never had an offer for it.

points during summer tourist season.
