of Review to Testify

Supervisors of Assessments William
Landraint says .he will cite large
number of citizens of this district to
appear before the board ofreview for
income taxes and interrogate them
as to the correctness of the blanks
filled out by them. He claims that
in a number of cases the blanks were
not filled out properly and that it
was done fradulantly to cut down the
amount of income tax to be paid.
Of over 5000 blanks received by
the income tax supervisor fully 500
have been returned to be made out
properly. Many of the blanks which
were lproperly made out were not
concise enough and did not express
with trueness or left out altogether

Those making out blanks incorrect
ly for the purpose of evading the law
will be brought before the board OF
review where they will be put unde,
oath as to what incomes they derive

Runkle to Appeal Case

B. F. Runkle of this city who
was convicted of attempted
olackmail and criminal libel a.
gainst the Edward Hines Lum-
ber company at Eau Claire last
Wednesday, has filed notice
through his attorney E c. AL
word of this city that the case
will be appealed to the circuit
court which will convene at Eau
Claire in Novem Der. Mr..
Runkle says that in the trial the
defense did not put in any evi.
dense whatever, three witnesses
alone being put on by the state.
After the hearing of the evidence
Judge McBain fined Mr.. Runkle
5000 or six months in jail.
Mr.. Runkle says that they ex-
pect to make their fight in the
trial before the circuit court and
some startling evidence will be
brought out.
The warrant upon which Mr..
Runkle was arrested was sworn
out by @. F. Wiehe. secretary of
the Hines Lum Der company.
The warrant was based upon a
letter which Runkle wrote to the
umberman's Lloyds Insurance
company at Eau Claire in which
Runkle stated that he could pro-
duce evidence to show that the
company had fred their mill in
this city which was destroyed
by fire in July, 1906, and for
which over $4,000 was collected
in insurance. In the letter Mr..
Runkle also stated that the COM
pany had two other mills in Bay
field county and one in Sawyer
county that we're liable to go the
same way. Runkle claims that
he can substantiate his charges.
It is understood that this will
be attempted at the November
trial.

BIG DEAL PENDING
Hines Tract of $500 Acres
of Cut-over Lands May
Change Hands.

Edward Hines, president and
Isaac Baker, general salesman
of the Hines Lumber company,
were in Ashland Saturday,
guests at the Knight. They ar
rived from Iron River, where
they looked over the Hines mill
and left for Mason to look over
the Hines interests at that point.
While here Mr.. Hines had an
extenced conference with Sena-
tor Sanborn regarding the sale
Of their cut over lands in the
southern part of Bayfield, county.
The Hines people own $4,000
acres of these lands from which
the timber has been cut south of
Iron River and down towards
Grand View which is the largest
single, tract OF land in this region
that has not yet been thrown
open for settlement. Senator
Sanborn and his associates are
trying to make deal with Hines
and his companies so as to use
these lands in their colonization
work. The transfer of these
lands would involve a considera-
ton of half million dollars and
when sold will throw open for
settlement the greatest single
tract of lands suitable for farm
ing that can be found in this en-
tire region now out of the
market. Ashland News

STATE ENGINEER HERE
A. r. Hirst of State High
way Commission Looks
Over County Roads.

A. r. Hirst of Madison, acting
highway engineer for the State High
way Commission was in the city yes
terday holding meeting with the
county road committee. During the
morning Mr.. Hirst, in company with
the road committee looked over the
old bridge at the head of the lake
and also the roads along the lake
hore known ar the swamp road
and the "canal route The roads
were in rather bad condition follow
ing the rains of the past days.
Mr.. Hirst left last evening for Ash
land where he attended meeting OF
the road committee for Ashland Coun-
ty and he expects to return to Bay
field county again to look over the
balance of the highways in this coun-
ty.
The State Highway Commission
have been asked to take charge of
the work to be done in Bayfield, coun-
ty during the coming summer and
Mr.. Hirst was here for the purpose
of making report upon the work to
be done. 1t is altogether likely that
the Commission will send a compe-
tent road builder here to have charge
of the road building in the county.
Under the former system of buildi ng
roads in the county there has been a
good deal of dissatisfaction, the tax
payers league claiming that not
enough work was being done for the
money expended.

 Mohave County Miner: Ross D. McCauseland has taken an option on the Metallic Accident mine, at Mineral Park, from Thomas Me- Nicely, and will soon have num- Der of men at work developing the property. The Metallic Accident is one of the old rich properties of the district, it having been discov- cred by the late Thomas J. Christy in the latter part of the seventies. The ore found in the outcrop ran as high as eight dollars in silver to the pound. A drift cuts a large vein on the property at depth of about 200 feet, where good grade of copper was found. It is this ore that MT. McCauseland will open up.

MINING NEWS.
q Collection Of Short Nswsy Items
 From Among the Mines ofArlxona.

Florence Blade Tribune: Col. | c. W. Griffey will commence ex- tracting ore from the Alta mines next week, for shipment. The provisions of the bond and option held upon the property by Young Bros, of Clinton, Iowa, permit Col. Griffey to extract and ship ore from this date up to the first of next January.
 Mohave County Miner: Recent samples taken from the bottom of a fifty foot shaft on one of the properties owned by Mathew Carr, at Cedar, gave results of about $100 to the ton in silver for width of four feet A small streak in the vein, from which shipping ore was taken gave over 500 ounces silver to the ton. The vein is an excellent one, the ore showing we'll in the outcrop.
 Wickenburg Miner: One of the features of the mineral exhibit at the state fair this week to attract especial attention was the showing of great blocks of almost native sil- yer from the Monte Cristo mine; which of course was gratifying to the Wickenburg visitor. This pro- perty under the direction of Ezra Hayes, is being developed into one of the great mines of the district, and that, too, in the most quiet and transformations way, with the chief expenditures under the the ground and not on the surface.
 Tucson Citizen: Thirty men are employed on the Grub Stake mine in the Orc Blanco district, which is being operated under bond by the Home Stake Mining company, according to J. s. Scriv- ner, who has returned to the city from Gro Blanco. He says the main tunnel is in $50 feet and has been running in ore for the past 30 days. The ore runs s8 to $10 in gold, he asserts. Serivner says crosscut is being driven from the tunnel in the direction of the mother-lode, so termed, which is about 75 feet distant. The manage ment is also sinking on the winze 100 feet in good ore.
 Tucson Citizen: Several hun dred men are employed in the Johnson district of Cochise county, according to K. L. Hart who has returned after spending several days at the property in which he is interested. Cross-cutting on the 700-f foot level is in progress at the Arizona United mine. High grade ore is being shipped from tbe old Peabody mine and 70 men are employed. The Johnson Develop ment company IS shipping ore, the Cochise Copper company is arrang- ing to start work within 10 days, and the Black Prince mine has been taken over under lease by Johnson and Mills, who have 20 men at work.
 Prescott Journal-Miner: George 0. Ford, president of the Ford min ing Company, and his secretary, F. s. Swan, are in the city com pleting arrangements for the in- stalling of large amount of ma chinery to begin development on an extensive basis. The main shaft of 175 feet, will be continued

UNCERTAINTY OF GREAT FORTUNES.

Two or three years ago a solid old citizen of
New York, long head of banking house, died, and
when his estate was scheduled for the payment of
its dues to the State the country astounded to
learn that this modest figure in finance was worth
over $6o,OO0,000. He had quietly made himself one
OF the weaithiest men in the world though almost
nobody even among his intimates, suspected him Of
possessing tithe of the wealth that he held
More recently, a railroad king passed away; a
man who had been accounted by many possible
successor to the wizardry and matchmaking power
of Hartman. He was in control of many thousands
of miles of railroads, and we'll on the way toward
completion of the first real ocean-to-ocean system.
This kind Of surprises are constantly reminding
us that in fact the public really knows very little
about the wealth of men who fill its eye and are
reputed financial kings.
1t would be interesting to know how many of
the ten richest men in the country-richest,
mon repute estimates their wealth-are in fact en-
titled to be in the list of the first fifty.

PERVERTED JOURNALISM.

The New York Tory papers are very much exer-

of the progressive cause.
Protest as they may, here are three instances
that have occurred within the past week.

national progressive weekly, quoted as repud

A WEEK OF HIsTORY-MAKING.

The week which opens today will be marked by a
historic series of political conventions, in many
States. t@ '.
A long list of States will hold the first State con-
ventons of the National Progressive Party, perfect
their organizations, set the complete machinery Of
political operation in motion, and delegates to
the first national convention of the new party, in
Chicago next week.
The conventions thus far held have been without
exception highly represented, enthusiastic, and un-
expectedly large in point of attention.
Still greater ones will come during the present
week. FulLpanoplisd and accoutred the new party
will assume national form under circumstances even
more auspicous than those which, after fysx years
ago, marked the national launching of the party that
was destined to drive the institution of slavery from
this continent.
