This would build great many
schools and give great assistance to the
police ana fire departments.
And think what II would amount to,
II. under the Supreme Court decisions,
the back taxes not paid are collected
from Mr.. Armour for five years.
Swift 4 Company, the great corpora.
tion which the assessors only valued
last year at $3,OOO.OOO. reports that It
has over $1OO.OOO,OOO in quick assets on
hand this year. Read Its annual re-
port and draw your own conclusions.
The tax rate Is seven per cent on
One.fifth of the actual cash value.
This would make Swift & Company
legally liable to tax Of 100000 a
year. This would help out the other
taxpayers some, II 1t was paid.
But the kind assessors only value
Swift 4 Company's $lOO,OOO,OOO plant
mt $3,OOO,OOO, which makes their an
nual tax only $4,000.
Quite a loss to the city In the diff
ference between $4,000 and 81 ,4OO,OO
The funny part Of 1t Is that In
eliminating the rich fellows the asses
sors could only find $O6,OOO,OOO worth
of personal property in all Chicago last
year. Four millions less than the re-
sources of Swift Il Company.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of Swift & Company was held at
the offices OF the company at the Union
Stock Yards January ., 1908.
Treasurer l.. 4. Cartons report states
that the turnover" or gross business
Of the company aggregated $3.50 O,OOO,-

The financial report shows surplus
at the close Of the year amounting to
Sl5,2OO,00O, which Is an increase Of
50 ,SO3,99c compared with the previous
year. These figures, after allowing
about 81 100000 for depreciation, which
was the amount written Off, indicate
earnings Of substantially i2.GO per cent

which the company paid Z per cent In

Just now there Ia n deficit in the
city's finances. according to the Comp
troller, Of about 100000.
The big corporation known as Swift
& Company makes an official statement
that 1t has over $lOO,OOOyOO0 In re-
sources.
The just annual tax on this sum
would be $1,4OO.OOO.
This would wipe out the clty's deficit
twice over.
The Assessors only value Swift 4

which Is only $4,000.
This shows yearly loss to the city

In whose name does Mr.. Armour
hold all his stock? Speaking Of his
election as director of the Illinois Gen.
tral, the Chicago Tribune Of March z,
1908, said:
~. Ogden Armour was nominated to
succeed Mr.. Titus. assistant to Presi-
dent Harahan, who was elected ut the
stockholders meeting last week to sue
ceed Stuyvesant Fish and to hold until
Mr.. Armour could transfer to his own
name on the books Of the company H.
linOis Central stock held by him, and
SO become stOckhOlder of record with
a clear title to the office Of director,
Mr.. Armour will be elected at the reg
ular meeting Of the board on March
1G."
ApropOs of this election, the Chicago
Tribune OH February 90 paid the fol-
lowing well.deserved tribute to Mr.. Ar
mour, his widening influence" and the
"almost fabulous value" OF his great
industry:
ut Is n recognition Oh the part Of
Mr.. Hartman of the widening influence
which Mr.. Armour has in the CONNER
clal and Industrial life of the country.
1t will not be an entire departure for
Mr.. Armour to take an active interest
In the management of great railroad
property, for he has long been finan-
cially interested In the st. Paul road.
The Armour packing interests have
been associated with railroad affairs.
"As president Of Armour & Co. he has
doubled the value of the property,
fact which may appear startling to
those knowing the great values repre-
sented in 1t when his father, p. d. Ar
mour, was at Its head. At the present
time he controls not only this great In.
dustry of almost fabulous value, but is
widening his interests constantly, enter
Ing new fields and becoming a factor
in them. His connection with the I'LL.
nois Central railroad will be only an.
other step In this direction"

PROVISIONS OF
THE LAW AS To-"
OIL LOCATIONS

Just at this particular time when
indications seem to point to the de-
velopment of oil fields in this vicin-
ity, as well as in other parts of Ne
vada, the legal aspect of methods
pursued in filing claims, becomes OF
peculiar interest.
The law upon the method to b,
pursued in filing upon oil land seems
clear, but the decisions rendered
upon various points leaves one in
doubt in regard to minor features.
One fact, however, has been abund-
antly demonstrated. 1t pays to be
on the safe side, and comply with
the law in letter as well as in spirit.
The answers to the questions re-
Gently asked an attorney we'll versed
in mining laws, and herewith pre-
scented, may possibly lead to a better
understanding of the situation.
1. What do you consider the st l.
tus of placer mineral filing for oil J
2. Does the filing give a posessory
right, or is discovery necessary?
3. Do you consider that the 500
assessment work per year on roads.
etc., without actual discovery of oil
appropriates the surface to the ex-
clusion of bona fide locators?
4. It has been customary in some
cases to form groups of placer loca-
lions in quarter sections and do as
sessment work of 800 ON the entire
$50 acres. Do you consider that this
will hold?
Il. Any person authorized to enter
lands under the mining laws of the
United States may enter and obtain
patents to lands containing 'petrols-
UNI or other mineral oils and chiefly
valuable. therefor under the. provi-
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-12-17

sions OF the laws relating to placer
mineral claims. (Act of congress ar.
proved February II, 1879
2. According to the provision
aforesaid discovery is a necessary
prerequisite. 1t has so been held in
numerous instances. On the other
hand, however, in Fresno county.
California, a number of persons filed
on government land which thsv
claimed as agricultural. 1t was sew
eral miles from the proven oil field.
but the government refused to accent
the application and sent an agent to
investigate the matter. The agent
reported that mo oil had been ds-
veloped upon the land claimed as
agricultural, but the government
held that it's propinquity to the oil
held would prevent its entry as agri-
cultural land.
3. The general trend of the law
asiue from speclhc provisions, seems
to call for direct development work
rather than preparatory or incidental
work. The conclusion would seem &c
be that nothing short of actual dis
covery of oil entities a location to he
made which will withstand legal az
tack.
4. Where oil lands are located as
placer mining claims, the annual as .
sessment labor upon such claims may
be done upon any one of group Of
claims lying contiguous and owned
by the same person or corporatio !.
not exceeding five claims in all: pro-
vided, that said labor will tend 20
the development or to determine the
oil-bearing character of such col.
tiguous claims. (Act of congress. al
proved February 3, 1903.)
