ADDITIONAL LIST
NOT REMARKABLE
City Tax Assessor Shows That The
Assessment For Last Year Was
Particularly Close and Little Prop
erty Was Overlooked.

Since the discussion by the City
Council Thursday night of an alleged
dereliction of duty on the part of the
City Tax Assessor, wherein it was
contended that an unusually large
amount of property had escaped his
vigilance and did not appear on the
original rolls, but was assessed as ad-
ditiOnal by the tax collector, some
members of the city council have
taken the pains to investigate this
alleged discrepancy, and have been
surprised at the, result Of their in
quiries.
An examination of the list of addi-
tiOnal assessments shows that about
$4,000 of the amount contained on
this roll was originally assessed by
Mr.. Beaumont, and for various reas-
ons stricken from the original rolls
and held over for the additional list.
One of these items, 1t is stated Is
erty having been Originally assessed
at 100000 and was reduced by the
council. at the request of DR.. Ross, to
100000, This was stricken from the
roll and referred to the tax collector
for re-assessment at $60,000 as agreed
to by the council, but was finally as
sessed at $65,OOO by Tax Collector
Bennett.
There were also numerous in
stances where assessments Wera
stricken from the original rolls at the
request of the owners for the reason
that the property or portions of it had
been sold since the assessment had
been made, and these, also, were re-
assessed as additional in order to give
the assessor an opportunity to get
correct descriptions of the property.
City Assessor Beaumont stated to
News representative this morning
that of the entire list of additional
assessments, but one of them was vol
UNFAIRLY given in by the owner, the
remainder being assessed in the reg
ular way, many pieces of property
being left off the original list because
of the fact that owners had agreed to
furnish descriptions of the property
and had failed to do so until the orig
inal list had been completed.
For the year 1907 there were ten
pages of additional assessments; for
1908 there were seven, and last year
there were only six, and about three
pages of these are taken up in lengthy
descriptions. Those councilmen who
have investigated the matter are free
to admit that they were laboring un-
der a misapprehension, the matter
being discussed in Mr.. Beaumont's
absence, without the benefit of an ex'
planation from him.
The question will be brought up at
the next meeting of the Council, and
will be explained by Mr.. Beaumont
He stated this morning that he had
every reason to believe that the coun.
Gil would look at the matter in a diff
ferent light when furnished with the
necessary information.

THE CHARTER FOR
THE COMMISSION
Has Not Reached Hattesburg Yet,
Nor Has Any Information Con-
cerning it Been Received.

City Clerk Farley has not yet re-
ceived any information from Secretary

ernment which was applied for nearly
'-' 'tV days ago, aside from letter
"u'ioihs 'h"' 'ha application had been

Citizens of Hattiesburg are begin
ming to feel that they are entitled to
more consideration than has been
shown them in this matter. They
contend that if there is anything
wrong with the law providing for the
commission form of government they
are entitled to an opinion from the at
torney general on the matter before
the present Legislature adiourns, so
that the necessary change may be
made at this session.
Mayor ]. D. Donald, who will go to
Jackson Sunday on matters in connec-
tion with his office, advised the coun-
ell Thursday night that he would in
vestigate the matter and insist on the
charter being issued, or get salts
factory explanation why it should not
be. The mayor will probably return
Tuesday morning. and the public will
then perhaps be reliably informed as
to the true status of affairs in this
connection.

Pitchblende of GiIpin County.

AS noted in the New Year edition
of this paper, the strike of pitch
blende ore in the German continues
to be an interesting subject and great
rivalry seems to exist among would:
be purchasers Of the product from
ity of the mineral has been determin
ed, a waiting world is now anxiously
looking Gilpin county-ward in the
hope that the find may prove per
there is anything in it." A great
deal of speculation is apparent on
the surface as to just what it all
amounts to. If it has half the values
claimed and there should be uncover
ed sufficient for-to what ever use
the mineral may be put, the fact re-
mains that Gilpin county will win a
lot of fame from the discovery and
much benefit to the merchants and
others will result 1t is a case where
the find is in advance of anything
definitely determined by science. This
branch is hardly ripe for its recep-
ton, but enough is known to give
eXperimenters a taste of what to ex-
pect should results prove very en-
couraging. Having the ore and of
sufficient quantity, developments will
be awaited with the keenest interest.
Adjoining properties are in demand
and there is no doubt sales will be
made requiring great deal of
money.

EIectro-chemIcaI Ore Treatment.

While it is not generally known of
just what the j. l.. Malm process is
composed, the expenditure of 100000
for its installation does not convey
much promise as a cheap solution OF
handling complex ores. The term com
p!ex ore is applied by n contempor-
ary, and the idea conveyed that lead.
zinc, silver and copper in combina-
tion would be complex in separating
each from the other. The electro
chemical treatment of ores was al
lude to in the New Years edition of
this paper. 1t stated that a process
whereby gold in solution could b.
caught on copper or iron plates. like
electroplating, would prove very in
teresting We're it worked out. The ore
treated to be crushed very fine. to
an impalpable powder. this dumped
into the proper solution and connec
ton then made by the electric wires
to the plates in the tank holding
the solution; the plates being i'm
mersed and given movement through
the pulveriZed ore and solution. By
the action of the electricity. the
solution, and the copper plates re
suits not unlike electroplating should
follow. but not at a cost of 800. 900
to establish a plant. An electric bat
terry, tanks to hold the ore with the
solution and few other essentials
would be all that is necessary.
To treat ores containing lead. zinc,
gold, silver and copper in combina-
ton might entail considerable ex-
pertinent ere 1t could be solved salts
factorily. The proper affinity of all
these, enabling it to take up all the
contents of all the ore. would after
wards require that the metal be re-
fined in order to separate each from
the other. This is a mere suggestion
of the possibilities of advanced in
vestigation of ores to be treated by
the chemical-electrical system.
1t Is practically a new field in so
far as its application is concerned
though here and there one hears of
something like the Malm process and
one or two others remotely scattered.

A regular dust storm prevailed
Thursday morning, it was also cold,
the wind being cutting and penetrat-
ing. So far winter has been mild at
this altitude compared with the snow
fall in other sections of the state,
especially in the valley. For equable
climate, winter or summer, Central
City can guarantee satisfaction to
the most exacting of those who eli
matically complain of extreme wealth
er changes. Outsiders contemplating
moving from the valley to mountain
towns should give this section n
trial. they are not likely to be dis
appointed, besides there are the in.
ducements of the mines. Come up

1t Is said now that a plant for the
treatment OF Gilpin and Clear Creek
county ores by the Alsdorf and Drap-
er cyanide process will be erected
near the forks of Clear Creek. If this
is true 1t will solve the problem Of
transportation. being equal distance
from the two mining sections. 1t will
save great deal to the mine opera
tors, but the section furnishing the
most ore would certainly offset this
difference for the mill would be
nearer the source of supply. Probably
the intent is to assure large ton
mage by drawing upon both districts.
assuming that the plant will handle
or require very large amount OF
ore.

After an extensive trip over part Of
the state, Mrs. E. V. Parneteau and

cyanldaslon of siIver-eoId ores.

The properties referred to in this
article are remote from this section
but the interests are so extensive,
but more important than all Is the
fact of the intent of the management
to possibly treat the ores of the com
pany by the cyanide process The
change or rather the introduction of
such can be of much interest to the
operators of large properties in this
section, it not being undertaken with
out some assurance of success.
The Camp Bird Company Limited,
which owns the property of Thomas
F. Walsh, will probably take over the
Center Gertrude group of mines at
Pachuca, Mexico, at a price stated
to be S4,5O0,O00. The mines were re-
ported upon by John Hays Hammond,
the most successful mining cpgicce,
in the country. The property eoAtaiLS
! large deposits of silver ore. The point
made is that though the property is
known for it's silver, the ore will be
treated by the cyanide process. The
claim being made that the system OF
treatment has acted successfully On
the silver-bearing ores of Mexico.
The company taking over the prop
erty expect to go into this on a large
scale. 1t is believed the extraction OF
the gold and silver from the ores by
the cyanide process will enable the
owners to reap a much larger profit
than by the old method of milling
and smelling.
1t is singular that they should not
yet know of the success of such
treatment, yet should it work out as
anticipated, the English company will
introduce the process on large scale
in the treatment of the ores from
the company mines and probably
branch out in other directions exten-
sively.
There seems to be such large
margin of difference between the re-
suits obtained by the old way of
treatment ana Ile new, 10 De lTleu
that the smelter will soon become
obsolete. While it is not known for
certain, but some of the smelters
lately closed may have come to re-
cognize the incursions made upon
their system and feared for the flI-
ture. This is purely problemetical, but
is a fact that they have lost pres
tige since the introduction of cyanida-
tion in the treatment of ores.
In continuation of the subject
it is asserted that the Eng
lish company operating the Camp
Bird will have earned the money for
the purchase of the Mexican property
from work in g the former. With
modern Improvements introduced into
the working of the Mexican property,
it will ere long rival the Camp Bird
in return of dividends to its stock
holders.
The cyanidation of the ores from
this big new enterprise of English
investors will be followed closely by
the extensive operators OF mines in
this district.
