IRON co. ACQUIRES

Purchase Big tiibbiog Property Listed
BY Tax Commission as Containing
-Four Million Ions.

-Four Million Ions.
One OF the most important deals
in range mining circles for the. past
two years becomes effective this
week through the purchase by the
Interstate Iron Company, the Jones
4 Laughlin people, of the big Mas.
sau mine in the Hibbing District
from the Pittsbure Iron Ore Com.
pany, giving the Interstate Com.
pany, already the largest indepen-
dent concern on the range, an addi-
ton of four million tons or upwards
to it's ore reserves.
The Nassau adjoins the Longyear,
another property owned by the In.
ter.State Company, aud as strip.
ping proposition can be worked
advantageously in conjunction with
this property. Range officials of
the Company have been at Hibbing
during the week, looking over the
new acquisition with view to COM
mencing extensive operations on
same this season.;
The newly acquired mine was first
opened in 1907, during which year
1912 tons was credited to the prop.
erty in the shipping list. In 1908 no
shipments were made from the
mine, but last yearthe Nassau again
entered the shipping list on small
scale.
The Longyear mine has not been
worked for several years, having
produced total of 121 ,391 tons dur
ing the seasons of 1902 1905 inclusive,
since which time it has been idle.
The opening of either of the prop
critics will doubtless mean the de.
velopment of both, the state tax
commission giving the two prop
critics total of 100000 tons.

Report Rejected.

AT special meeting of the Board
of Education of Independent School
District of Virginia held Thursday
evening, March II the following
resolution was adopted relative to
the disposition of the second report
of Andrew ]. Wasgatt. The fret re-
port, filed by Mr.. Wasgatt, it will be
remembered was accepted by the
board last June. The report bring
ing out this resolution of the board
is the one prepared..,oy that ski,lful
manipulation of figures and adven-
turer "of such courtly manners"
Capt. Theo. H. James, which was
weakly signed by. the Auditors
County Examiner. The rebuke that
Andrew J. Wasgatt thus receives at
the hands of the board is richly de-
served.
RESOLUTION.
Whereas the report of the Auditors
County Examiner, Andrew ]. Wasgatt,,
dated December 81, 1909, has been carefully
considered by this board, and
Whereas the said report was evidently
inspired with vicious intent, wholly lack
ing in fairness. full of errors, nisstate-
ments, proven falseloods, and derogatory
insinuations against members of this
board, and other reputable citizens:
Therefore be it resolved that this board
do hereby reject this report and demand of
the County Auditor the resignation of the
said Andrew J. Wasgatt, as lacking char
acter and as incompetent to fill the Office
of Auditors County Examiner; and
Be it further resolved that this board re-
quest of the County Commissioners of St.
Louis County the privilege of having the
State Public Examiner sent at the expense
of the county to examine and audit the
books of Independent School District of
Virginia, at the earliest possible date.

CHAIRMAN OF Committee.
AS result of conferences held
since the receipt of Mr.. Wasgatt's
report the board has decided to re.
ject the report as made, and will de.
mand Mr.. Wasgatt's resignation or
dismissal fron the Office he now
holds.
There ls little question but the
request of the board for the services
of the State Examiner will be grant
ed, and from the fact that Capt.
James, allegedly representing the
Oliver Iron Mining Company, and
Mr.. Wasgatt, allegedly acting az
county examiner, made an exhaus-
tive research of the records for sew
eral years back and failed to show
up aught OF nature which denoted
the graft" for which they seeming
ly looked, it is unlikely the State
Examiner, in spirit of fairness,
will unearth anything OF which the
members of the board need stand
in awe.

BOARD DESIRES HONEST
TAXATION IN UTAH

The state board of equalization
pursuant TO custom. has submitted to
the county commissioners and county
assessor. a communication containing
a number of suggestions and recon,
mendations relative TO the assess
ment for general taxes for 1910. In
part the communication Gays:
The board desires to work In har-
mony and cooperation with the Off"
cials of the various counties of the
state to the end that just and equit-
able assessment shall be made, and
that once made II Will not be neces.
sary for this board to make changes
that will necessitate the labor and eX.
pepSe nj a readjustment OF the tax
rolls Accordingly we have TO suggest
that livestock be assessed as follows.

cattle, Sl4 per head. horses. at their
cash value, which we think should
be higher than last year. graded ac-
cording to value, mllch COWS, not less
than $40 per head. We renew our
suggestions OF last year to the effect
that blooded livestock be assessed for
what II Is worth
The board desires to especially
emphasize the necessity OF assessing
the full number OF all livestock. Ac-
cording TO the best Information OBJ
talnable by this board. it has been Gus
tomary TO assess the farmer or othet
small owner having stock at home,
with every animal he owns. but TO al

horses on the range 10 escape with an
assessment OF from % to so per cent
of his actual number, and the sheep

owner, as well as to the owners of
other classes OF property, and mas
much az the only remedy In the hands
OF this board IS to Increase or de-
crease by classes. thus enlarging and
perpetustlng the injustice already
done, we urge you to see to II that
