all buildings have cost 10 per cent more

about the same as that Of last year it
must not be inferred that no relief has
been granted to such real estate in the
burned area as has markedly depre-
ciated in value. Reductions which ag-
gregate several millions have been
made in the assessment OF such real

the gain in values made in certain out
lying sections Of the city which have
enhanced in value since the fire by

Of justice All property owners who
after knowing their assessments desire
reductions may petition in writing TO

review of the assessors figures.
CONSIDERS NEEDED REVENUE
An interesting comment 10 real estate
owners is the following statement Of
Dr. Dodge:
1t is true that greater reductions
could justly and reasonably be made
in the assessment of considerable real
estate in the burned district. The un-
dersigned. however, was limited in the
reductions by the city's needs in the
way of revenue. The roll returned, it
will be observed. is but little in excess
of the estimated amount which your
honorable board adopted last month
and on which amount you fixed the
city's revenues and made the appro-
priations for our various city depart
ments. Had the assessment been less
than your estimate of s450,00o, eco the
result would be a deficit in our reve-
nUes.
1T must be apparent that in our
present condition. with a dollar limit
of taxation and with increased munich
pal expenditures due TO the great de-
strUction of city property and 10 the
issuance Of bonds, we are prevented
from making those reductions in the
assessment Of real estate which might
in many cases be justified. Ii has been
our endeavOr, however, to assess all
real estate on a uniform basis of vaiua-
tion, that the burden might fail on all

IS $453,551,1S4
Completed Roll Shows Big Gain
Over the Valuation of

The sum of S453,551,1S4 is the total
assessed valuation Of san Francisco for
this wear. according to the completed
roll of Assessor Washington Dodge,
which will be forwarded tomorrow 10
the board of supervisors for review and
eouaIizatfon. This does not include the
steam railroad valuations which viii
be determined by the state board. The
return is an excess Of more than $o,5OO,-
600 beyond the supervisors preliminary
estimate upon which the budget was
based and viii add about $4,000 or
$4,000 to the anticipated revenues OF
the city.
The gain over last years valuation
is S23.9OO 900. Assessor Dodge calls at
tention TO the gain in the assessed
value OF buildings, $24,lS1,299, which
brings the value of this class OF prop
ertv within Sc. S33 SOS Of the valuation
the year before the fire.
In the letter which will accompany

tion to the city's remarkable progress
during the past few years and gives
some comparative figures Of 1905, 1906
and 1903.

Statements of Mining Companies in Cochise and Pima Counties.

May 9th was the last day in which the mining companies under the new bullion tax law had to file their statements of the output for the past year with the county assessor in order that the levy of the 25 per cent might be made. All the state ments Were received with the excep- tion of the Black Diamond Copper company, which was sent in in time. however, but there was an error in the amount received and it was sent back to the company. The statements of the companies show there was a falling off in the production in most of the workings.
 The Shattuck company showed the largest increase, being nearly 100 per cent over that of last year. The Su- perior and Pittsburg also showed a slight increase, while the showing of other companies as listed with the as- sessor is as follows:

BALTIMORE MINE SOLD.
Work to Commence Soon on Promising
 Property.

An important mining deal was closed recently when the title to the Ralti- more group of mines in the Hassa- yanpa district, passed from Enoch Williams to Lester Jackson after sev- eral weeks negotiations. says the Journal Miner. The consideration was not made public. but 1t is known to be large. part cash payment being made. with the balance in fifteen months
 Mir. Jackson will start force of miners in a few days on his new hold ings and open one of the principal veins covered by the four locations of the group. His plan of development contemplates the running of a tunnel on the ledge which will tap it at depth of 400 feet from. the apex of one end of his holdings.
 The ledges are opened by several hundred feet of development in shafts, drifts and tunnels. exposing paystreaks of ore ranging in gold from S25 to s3O to the ton. Portions of the paystreaks are of much higher grade Mir. Viii Hams located the property over twenty years ago. since when he has been de- veloping the ground in a modest way. extracting the gold from ores by the primitive arastra method. His a-astra returns have more than paid for all de- velopment on the ground as well as yielding a handsome profit
