Mining Output Reduced.

BUTTE, April 29.-The net proceeds
of the Butte mines fell off Sl5, 900, 600
this year Oh account of the shutdown
during the winter, and accordingly
the assessed valuation of the property
OF Silver Bow county, which includes
the assessment OF the mining output,
will be els, 900, 900 less than last year.
Mines are taxed in two ways, taxes
being levied on the mines as realty
and for their output. The valuation
OF the Butte mines as realty remains
the same as formerly, but it was the
output that was reduced and which
will make such q difference in the as.
sessed valuation. The mines are taxed
as realty e5 an acre.
