Important Mine Tax
Decision

In decision rendered during
the past week in the Cripple
Creek mine taxation Cases, the su
preme court of Colorado ruled that
the 1902 mine taxation act lpro-
viding that non-producing mining
properties shall not be assessed
higher than the lowest PRODUCT G
mine in the same locality is con-
stitutiopal. The court affirmed
the judgement of the Teller
county district and county courts
in two suits by the Hart Consol-
idated Mining company and 81
other companies to prevent Teller
county from collecting excessive
taxes on their property.
The supreme court held that
the non-producing mines cannot
be assessed at higher valua-
ton per acre than the lowest valu-
ton per acre assessed against pro-
ducing mines similarity situated.
The court also Interpreted the
word locality" to mean, not an
entire distri ct, but the immediate
vicinity.
Ehe ~aasatieMfeF4the purpoxe
Of taxation of producing prop
erty." says the opinion, "is
based upon percentage of pro-
duction and not upon area.
IA mining property is only
valuable for the ore it contains
and what this may be in a non
producer is purely speculative.
A mine which is producing ore is
intrinsically of more value than
one which is not producing; SO
that the rules prescribed for an
assessor to follow in fixing the val
uation of non-producer simply
requires that he shall ascertain
the value for the purpose of taxa
ton by a method which will be
equitable and just and which will
not result in placing upon it a
greater valuation than a producing
property in the same locality
which is manifestly of greater in
trinsic value"
The same point was involved
when the mining companies
brought suit in January, 1o1o
asking for an injunction against
the assessor of Teller county.
District Judge Charles Cavandar
enjoired the collection of taxes IN
exec IS of the amounts which the
companies said were justly
due.
