Another Sold Extraction Process.

Two noted scientists and mining
experts will today leave Boise for a
weeks prospecting journey on
horseback, picking their way west
ward through the mountains back
of this city. They are DR. Oscar
EclSstein, professor of chemistry at
the University of Chicago, and DR.
Wilfred G. Fralick, of New York
city. The latter came to Boise a
few days ago, and will work in con-
junction with the expert Chicagoan
IN his quest of new method of
gold extraction. DR.. Eckstein has
been here for almost a month, en-
gagged in prospecting and labratory
experimentation, spending much Of
his time on cross-country iaunts
and experimenting on specimen
soils in his work shop which he
recently installed in a little cottage
on Warm Springs avenue near the
flume. Reticence in regard to their
work characterizes the statements
of the two experts. That they are
here in the interest of big eastern
capitalists has been gathered from
casual observations made by DIR.
Eckstein. On this question, how
ever, great secrecy has constantly
been observed, and the scientist re-
fuses to be interviewed in regard
to his work, except as it bears on
pure science. Statesman.

The state board of equalization in
session yesterday continued its york
of charting the reports from county
auditors. An increase in valuation
in all lines so far checked up is
shown, but in several counties the
board expects to raise assessed val
uations considerably. What coun-
ties will be raised have not been
given out
The board finds that there will
be appreciable increases on patent
ed land valuations in several coun-
ties, Kootenai and Blaine in par
ticular. Kootenai leads the state
in this respect, something like $780,
600 acres being added to the number
of acres assessed last year.
No real estate property in any
county is assessed to its fun value, -
said a member of the state board of
equalization, especially farm prop
erty, and it is very likely the state
board will find it necessary to raise
many of those assessments. This
is something that viii have to be
done carefully, however A gener-
al raise, in the real estate properties
is liable to affect owners of farms

valuable lands. 1t seems to be the
rule of assessors in general through
out Idaho to assess ranch property
about as low as possible. But they
rseem to have struck a minimum
price of about So. Farms that are
worth from $40 to SIS an acre are
usually assessed at from So to SO,
while farms worth from SIS to 500
are assessed propOrtionateIy low.
If the real estate valuations were
boosted by the state board generally,
say So an acre, it would make a far
greater difference to the owners of
the poorer lands than TO the owners
of the more valuable lands.
In earlier days the assessors
put their valuations down as low as
possible for the purpose of paying
to the state as little as possible. To
meet county expenses in those times
the county rates of taxation were
raised accordingly. The old ratios
of valuations are hard to break
away from, and although there is
a state statute making it mis-
demeanor for assessors to assess prop
erty for less than its actual value,
it is difficult law to get action on
and the assessors for the most part
still follow the old beaten paths of
predecessors. 1t is a matter, how
ever, that should be adjusted in
some way.
Lots of taxable personal proper
ty in every county in Idaho has been
in past years and continues to be
overlooked entirely by the assessors,
and the county commissioners, when

sitting as a county board of equali-
zation, only in a very few instances
make changes from the valuations
reported by the assessors. Usually
the assessors figures are accepted
except where some individual or
corporation makes a kick, and then
the change is usually to lower in
stead of raise the assessment. D.
