Tho Park City zinc plant is In com.
mission and its behavior has been pro-
nounced a decided success by Man
agcr A. j. Miller, who is in the city
today on brief business trip.
The plant has been in operation,
said Mr.. Miller, Just week and ii
has been doing splendidly. OF course
there viii be few adjustments to
make to get the machinery to running
perfectly, but the demonstration al
ready made satisfies me that It is a
success. We are making a good sep
aratlon and turning out a high grade
zinc. as well as high grade iron-leni
product
The plant was erected originally for
the purpose of treating zinc ores from
the DAILY Judge mine aud IL is likely
that none will be accepted from any
othcr source for some little time. How
ever after awhile the capacity win
probably be increased so that custam
ores IRON other mines can be taken
care OF.
The present capacity Of the plant
Is 100 tons per day and is being sun
pied with zine middling from the DAILY
Judge mill. of which there are from
Io,uyu 10 zo'OOO tons on the dump and
winch the owners of the Zinc plant
have contracted to treat. The Daly
Judge company is still adding to this
tonnage at the rate of from 10 to 20
IONS daily, hence 1t can be seen that 1t

TAX VALUATION
OF IDAHO
County Assessors in Meeting at
Boise Show Tax Values of AL
most a Hundred Million Dollars
For This State.

All county auditors excepting
those of Twin Falls and Oneida
counties have now made their
returns to the state board of
equalization. Most of the
counties report increases, some
of them more than 100 per cent
over what they were a year ago,
while decreases are noted in.
others.
The total assessed valuation of
the property returned on the
abstracts will amount to prac-
tically $1OO,OOO,OOO, which would
indicate that the total assessed
valuation of property as equaliz-
ed by the state board including
railway, telegraph and telephone
lines will reach approximately
$122, 900, 900, if a proportionate
increase in valuation is to be
carried out. The totals taken
from the abstracts as compared
with those for 1907 are as
follows:

Total. .....,. $79, o24, S88 $9I, 2o8, I2I
Assessor James Mcmillan of
Twin Falls county says that
when the abstract from that
county has been received the
assessed valuation will exceed
Sd, ,26O, 900, while it is expected
that the total valuation of
property as assessed this year in
Oneida county will amount to
$2,500,OO0, which would make
the total assessed valuation of
the state, not including railway,
telegraph and telephone lines,
as returned by the county
auditors to the state board,
amount to approximately $780,
100000, or more than the total
assessed valuation of all classes
of property in the state last
year, an increase of 20 per cent.
To the amount of property re-
turned by the several counties
last year $3,O52, 7O3 was added
by the board, while deductions
were made amounting to $780,
714.7O. The assessment of rail-
ways, telegraph and telephone
lines by the board was as follows,
Railways, SIS, ,61O, All; telegraph,
$189, 1863; telephone, 1866, ,OO2.
Grand total assessed valuation of
the state, $97, TIT, 1852.
A proportionate increase in the
classes of property to be assessed
by the board with that assessed
by the assessors would make the
total assessment for 1908 ap-
proximately $122, 900, 600.
Generally the counties this
year did not report the soldiers
and widows exemption of prop
erty from taxation, which
would probably amount to about
81, 500, 900, as indicated by which
they were reported as deductions
from the total assessed valua-
tions. Boise Statesman.

Attorneys for w. P. Reed. A.
J. Sloan and Arthur Rice, the
alleged Orofno cattle thieves,
have sprung a sensation at
Lewiston by filing papers charg-
ing Dan Carr with murder and
his two sons and Ben Craig
with assault with intent to
commit murder. The attorneys
for the defense claim the Carrs
had no right to shoot at the
cattle rustlers, not being officers
of the law, and hope to make a
strong case against the Carrs
because of the fact that they
concealed themselves along the
road and are said to have opened
fire on the rustlers as they came
along.
