LAW TAXING RESERVED
MINERAL RIGHTS RAISES
UNIQUE PROBLEM IN U, ?,
Boards of Review Will Have
Considerable Extra Work
as Result
PROTESTS ARE EXPECTED
Many Holdings Affected by New
Statute Are of Little
Value
PROTESTS ARE EXPECTED

MARQUETTE. Mich, April 16.--
The boards OF review in the various
townships OF the iron and copper dis
tricts of Upper Michigan will have
some perplexing problems to face as
we'll as considerable extra work to do
this year when they meet to fix prop
erty valuations. This is because OF
the law, passed at the last session OF
the legislature, providing for the tax
ing OF reserved mineral rights there
tofore the owners OF property OF this
nature have escaped taxatton'
1t is practically certain that pro-
tests will be received from great
many holders OF mineral rights, FOR
the reason that many of these reserv-
ed rights are OF little or no value.
One big corporation that undoubtedly
Will be hit in this connection is the
Michigan Iron & Land company. This
concern, controlled by British capitai,
Is still the owner of the mineral
rights on practically all of the acre
age II has sold In this district. very
few Marquette county farmers, IN
deed, own the mineral rights on their
lands.
The law raises unique problems
that the assessing officials Will md
II difficult to meet in satisfactory
manner. In fact, no task could De
put up TO them that would be more
difficult than the equitable assess
ment OF reserved mineral rights. Most
OF the lands on which mineral rights
have been reserved are lands that
have not been explored, but that, lying
In the iron formation, still have
potential mineral value. What that
value may be there is now no means
of determining except the price at
which the owner holds the rights, and
this value is purely fictitious. Ex-
cept closely adjacent TO active mines
or TO explorations that have made
good. there Is little demand for these
rights, and they rarely pass from
hand to hand.
The rights on large acreages are OF
practically no value. and have been
reserved principally because II Is the
fashion In this region to witnnolu
them wherever 1t can be done. on tne
mere chance that some day tney viii
prove to have value. Mineral rights
are held on thousands OF acres Whlch
the reservoirs thereof would surrender
rather than pay even nominal taxes
for they are not rights that VIII likely
ever have any value.
The assessing officers have little TO
guide them In this work, and II ID
proving a puzzling problem for many
m them. As a matter of fact, II Is
not likely that the law will result In
much additional value being placed
ON the tax rolls, outside the lands In
the immediate vicinity of the active
mines and proved ore bodies. A re-
served mineral right on land at all
remote from real mines has an IN
Tangible value that an assessing Of
ficer cannot we'll determine. and yet
the fact remains that the right has
some value or 1t would not be re-
served.

TALKS ON TITANIC HORROR
Describes Conditions Off New

Liner Went Down

ANN ARBoR. Mich, April 16-"I
have seen icebergs that looked so
much like the water that they could
not be distinguished short distance
on" said Captain Inman Sealby, OF
the Inflated steamship Republic, OF
the White Star line at the time II was
rammed and sunk by the Florida. He

by spent 25 years on large steamers

surprise that the Titanic had gone TO

The iceberg into which the Titanic
ran probably could not have been
seen at very great distance" con-
tinued Captain Sealby. ION very
dark night. even though the weather
is clear, an iceberg looks much like
the horizon and ships get very close
TO them before they are discernible.
The reason the Titanic sank even
though the White Star line officials
said II could be half full OF water and
still float Is probably because the
ship struck the iceberg a glancing
blow and the latter scraped along.
side, breaking In most of the bulk
heads. There is no danger of losing
a large boat IL II strikes head-on. The
most II could do would be to cave In
so or 100 feet of the bow. This is
what happened when the Florida ram
med the Republic. 1t was just the
same TO the Republic as though the
A.,
OF the Florida's bow was stove In but
she did not sink. The Republic sank
because the glancing blow which the
Florida gave her drove in many OF
the bulkheads.
! Whenever an iceberg is sighted
straight ahead by a large steamer,
the only thing TO do is 10 put the helm
hard over, put on full steam astern,
and swing the ship around In short
| circle, in an effort TO dodge the berg.
| Ii was probable that this is what the
Titanic tried TO do, but instead OF
lodging it. hit it a glancing blow.
This has been an unusual winter
| In the North Atlantic, and the ice
commenced to come down early. There
are, In the Atlantic, what lie called
north and south tracks. The steam
ers travel the north track until about
April 15."
We'll" he continued with his ex'
PLANTATION, ION about this date every
year the steamers change from the
north to the south track, because the
ice has commenced TO come down. SO
that travelling on the north track Is
dangerous The steamers travel on
| the south track until along In August
when the Ice is supposed to be melt
ed out OF the Atlantic. They then
change back to the north track, be-
cause It is the shorter route. You
see, this year, all Of the boats report
ed having sighted lots OF Ice. Inc
Carpathia reported having sighted 20
bergs in one day. That is something
unusual for this time OF the year.
