MINERS WILL FIGHT
ON HIGH TAX RATES

Colorado Springs. oct. District
Judge Sheafor has handed down a de-
cision in favor of several score of nom
producing mining companies in the
Cripple Creek district In their suit
against the Teller county officials ask
ing for relief from alleged exorbitant
taxation.
The companies contended that their
properties should not be taxed at a
higher rate per acre than the lowest
rate on producing property, but the
assessor placed much larger valua-
tions on the non-producing proper ues.
The decision sustalns the conten-
tions OF the companies and overrules
those of Teller county in all the cases
where the mining companies actually
paid their taxes under protest and
perfected their appeals to the court.
The county will now be Obliged to
refund taxes amounting to about
10000 This specific case is based on
taxes for the year 1908.
