PAYING UNDER PROTEST

Several OF the Mining Companies OF the
Peninsula are Saving Their Court Rights.
CITY Treasurer q z. Larsen went tn
the Bristol mine last Monday morning
to sieze the Bristol Mining company's
stock pile for the payment Of the taxes
due against the property The pro-
ceeding was in the light OF friendly
arrangement whereby the company
might save its ri shts in court and at
the same time escape the payment of
the interest penalty should they lei the
payment OF their taxes run past the
10th OF the month.
The taxes were Immediately paid
and the company has the right TO
bring legal action for the refund of
any amount found TO be out OF legal
proportion with other tax payers
This same method WAS pursued by
several OF the mining companies at
other points in the peninsula. notably
tire Cleveland Cliffs company and the
Breitung interests ON the Marquette
range.
The Oliver Mining company and the
Corrigan Mckinney company paid
their taxes without saving their court
rights
II is probable that the Mining com.
paniss who are reserving the right TO
take legal action later are watching the
result OF the case already commenced
