1910 TAX LEVY 2 PER CENT

At the city council meeting last night the tax levy for the year was fixed at ? per cent. as against F per cent. last year. As the yalua- tons on real estate have been ma terially reduced, however, it is es, timated that the taxes collected will be about the same as last year. Considerably less personal property is assessable this year, falling off of at least half a million dollars having occurred.
 Property holders will be notified of the amount of taxes owing by them at once and the council will sit as board of equalization be- tween January 3 and January 10, during which time objections to as- sessmGnts will be heard. The taxes will be due January 15, and be- tween that date and the middle of February a discount of 10 per cent will be allowed. Between February 15 and February 2S the payments will be received at par but after that date the taxes will become delinquent and interest at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum will be charged.

On the Poison lease, where the shaft has been sunk to depth of 106 feet. the lead has been found to be 20 feet across. This, across its entire width. shows colors from pam ming. The finding of the ore shoot in the Peterson shaft above will un- doubtedly expedite the work in this lower shaft. and il may be confidently expected that work on the Fried richs' properties will be rushed for the next few weeks. The opzrations there will be watched with increased interest by the rest of the quartz miners in the camp. as 1t Is realized that this property will probably be one of the first to demonstrate whether there is depth to the quartz veins of the camp. Certain it is that there has been no more assid- uous worker to this end than Mir. Friedrichs-who has persistently re mained optimistic when the outlook appeared most blue. He came to town yesterday and last night was being congratulated on all sides for the good fortune which apparently has fallen to him.

 Mir. Maurer has already had an in- terview with the district attorney in connection with the alleged kill ing of the Indian, Nagita, but no in formation in regard to the affair is to be procured until after the inves- tigation has progre ssed further. The first steps to be taken will necessar- fly be the holding of an inques on the body of the Indian, and a jury for this purpose will likely be called by Commissioner Dillon at once.

FURS OUT OF FASHIOk;
 PRICES DROPS QUICKLY

SEATTLE, Nov. I9. That the wearing of furs has gone out of fashion is given by William J. Frs kine, manager of the Northern Com mercial company, as the reasons for the astonishing fall in prices of raw furs, which affects all classes of skins from sea otter to muskrat, ermine being the only important one that did not fall in price.
 Alaska produces three-fourths of the worlds expensive furs, but the price is fixed in London. Erskine's company, with ninety-four skins has a corner on the silver tip fox mar ket, but was obliged to sell at half of last years prices, which ranged from s400 10 $500 a skin.
 Muskrat skins used in counterfeit ing seal skins, have fallen thirty per cent. because seal skins are less fashionable and limitations conse- Quently less in demand.

 Ernest Peterson then took a lease on the property and the work of sinking was continued for another B feet before mill run was made The ore taken from this rul yielded only $1.ib to the ton. and it was apparent that the ore shoot had been worked cut so far as the shaft was concerned.
 The strike 0n Thursday, however indicates that one ore shoot after an other is to be expected in he shaft and the extraordinary richness of the last one found Is exceedingly gratify- ing to the owners and 10 all of the quartz men in the camp The shCt which located the rich ore dislodged about four tons of it. and Mir. Fried richs estimates that this will aver age 5000 to the ton. Some of the ore in the SInch vein was so rich that pound of it mortared gave nearly rne-balf ounce of gold. or a value of S2o,0o0 to the ton. The rich S-inch vein comes in from the hanging wall.

 SEATTLE, Dec. 2i-King George called Mir. Asquith to a conference yesterday for the purpose of con- Sulting him in regard to the for. mation of his ministry. The status of the different parties, as a result or the recent election, is that the Coalition party has a majority of lZ6, or one more than during the last session of parliament. The la. Dorites gained three votes, two from the Liberals and one from the Con- servatlVes. The veto of the house of lords will most certainly be abol- lshed, which necessarily will make Of the parliament one chamber body, for the commons will be able to carry through any legislation which obtains majority in the lower house. It is also very evidl that Mir. Bal four will lose the leadership of the Conservative party as he lost many close constituencies to his party through untimely utterances.
