Quietly and methOdically the United
States people are pushing out into the
various mining camps where ores nee
essary to their smelters may be found
and taking leases on properties with
view TO working them in the interests
of their great plants. 1t is understood
that they have men watching every
camp of Importance. and when some
thing looks good the U. ). people are
there with the money.
Recently they took over one OF the
best properties in American Fork, and
now comes the information from Idaho

Commercial Mining company which
owns the mine, and that evening IL was
announced that the mine had been
bonded for s1.O50,000 to the United
States Smelling, Refining & Mining
company of Salt Lake and Boston. This
is the richest mining company in the
world and the fact that they have
taken a bond on the Rainbow indicates
that the property is very valuable.
First Payment S250,0OO.
Under the conditions of the bond, the
company giving the bond has four
months in which TO make an eXamlna-

GREATEST SHEEP

HAS FIVE LAMBS IN ONE SEASON

Jack Inman, of Sheep Neck, near
Culleoka, has the champion sheep.
This animal birthed this year FIVE
lambs, two at one time and three at
another. After this generous contri-
button, she sheared eleven pounds of
wool. The lambs and wool were sold
at market prices, bringing nearly thir-
ty dollars. Mr.. Inman has the sheep
yet, and probably won't sell her at any
ordinary figure, as she has so far
proved regular golden egg propo-
sition.

TOTAL TAX RAISE
IN MAURY COUNTY
WILL REACH MILLION
ACCORDING TO PRESENT cALcU-
LATIoN OF COUNTY BOARD
OF EQUALIZERS.
MORE TAXES FOR NEXT YEAR
Middle Tennessee Railway Company
Will Be Taxed Next Year for the
First Time-Not Much Increase Elk
pected from the Ninth District.

While it is impossible, at this time
to obtain anything like approximate
figures, it is now estimated that the
total tax raise in Maury county this
year will be as much as one million
dollars, although these figures are
considered high.
So far the Board of Equalizers have
increased the assessments about tree
hundred thousand dollars, and the
work of equalizing is far from being
over. Hasty figures made by members
of the Board justify the prediction
that the increase already made will
be trebled
The Ninth district is which Colum-
bia is located, will not show any big
increase, as in this district proper
ty is already assessed at a much high
er valuation than in any other district
of the county. In some instances
property is assessed at its actual face
values and where this is the case a
reduction Is probable. The city has
always insisted on high assessments,
and for this reason urban property
has always borne full share of taxa
ton. There will be some increase
shown from Columbia on account of
the erection of new buildings, ana
on account Of increased per-
sonality, but so far as real estate is
concerned there will be little doing.
The Middle Tennessee Railway will
be assessed this year, and the county
will collect considerable tax from this
However. this assessment
will be made by the railroad commits
sion and not by the county assessor
and the Board of Equalizers.
Should the total increase be $1,000
BOO the county would receive an sddi-
tional revenue over last year of some
$4,000. Not only will the assessment,
be increased but the tax rate has also
been raised. Last year the rate was
s115 on the hundred dollars and this
year is $1.20.

A miniature Glidden tour with Co

points is now being planned by the
Nashville Automobile Clsb and win
be participated in by a number OF 10
cal machine owners. The proposed
run will be from Nashville to Frank
lin, thence to Columbia, Culleoka,
Lewisburg, Petersburg, ShelbyVille
Fayetteville, Murfreesboro, and back
to Nashville. i,'s
The total distance Is one hundred
and thirty miles and the run couldfbe
made in day.
Fred Gamble, of Columbia, was In
Nashville this week and it was at his
suggestion that the route was fixed.
Mr.. Gamble is well acquainted with
the roads of Middle Tennessee, and
in selecting the route for initial spin
he was careful to choose only the very
best highways. 1t was his suggestion
that the route start from Nashville by
way of Murfreesboro and return by
way of Columbia, but this was over
ruled for the reason that It was ex-
pected that a number of Columbi9 au-
toists would enter the contest anu
would join the party here.
While the final arrangements have
not been completed, it is proposed to
have prize or trophy of some de-
scription, to be won by the car max
ing the highest number of points in
this endurance contest. A number or
contests will be held during the sum-
mer, the purpose being to stimulate
interest in the automobile business
and to further the pleasure of car
owners.
1t is expected that about fifty cars
will start in the premier run, and that
all of the best makes will be repre-
sented as well as the leading auto
drivers of Middle Tennessee.
