must be a-separate assessment and val
uation OF the mineral reservation on
each particular LOT or lots according TO
the ownership OF the surface rights
IL is probably true that in many
copyeyances, there are reservations of
mineral rights. aud that snch reserva-
lions have no known value. In such
Cases there should be an assessment OF
the land less mineral reservation, to be
ollowed by description OF the min.
eral reservation. with note opposite
thereto. stating that the same is of no
known value.
The tax roll should be an exact copy
of the assessment roll. including the
notes relative to mineral reservation
whether such mineral reservations are
assessed or not
Section six Of said act rea DIS as tol.
lows
In assessing slch lands for the pur-
pose of taxation, the value of the right
reserved as fixed by the assessor shall
be deducted from the whole value of
such lands AS fixed 10y him. and only
the difference between the value OF
said lands as so fixed shall be assessed
against the owner of the surface right
fee or the remaining interest therein. -
Since October. 1909. in all sales of
State Land made by the State Land
Commissioner there has been a reser-
walton OF all mineral rights to the
State. and only the surface rights have
been conveyed. and in assessing such
lands to the owners. the same should
be assessed less mineral reservation.
There need not. however. be- any as
sessment of the mineral reservation of
such lands for the reason that such
reservation is owned by the State, the
same being reserved under the provi-
sions of Section s OF Act %. Public
Acts Of 1909 as amended by Act 20,
Public Acts of 1911.
The mineral reservation should. of
course, be assessed TO the owner OF the
same. and in order TO determine such
ownership, it will undoubtedly be-
necessary for the assessing officer to
make an examination to some extent at
least. OF the records in the office Of the
register of deeds. and undoubtedly the
township boards, village or city coun-
cils would be willing to authorize it's
assessing officers to do whatever is
necessary to be done in order to comply
with the provisions of said act.

company. With new blood and plenty
OF money there is no reason why. the
company ought not TO become an i'm.

We understand it is the intention OF
the company TO at once install new

property q 300 foot shaft was sunk
some two years ago.

In the Heart Of a Tree.

Two men with axes chopped at the
trunk of a great Eastwood tree. and
then they went nc the notch with a
long saw. one man ut each end. The
tree stood in the forest along the
Montreal river In Wisconsin. The
men sawed away. and all OF n sudden
the saw rasped on something hard

sawyers worked the harder, but IL
was 10 no effect. The teeth OF the
saw were blunted. and the men took
TO the axes again.
Can you imagine what they found
when the tree had fallen with n roar
that shook the surrounding woods ?
Their axes had uncovered tho edge
of another ak blade, hidden In tho liv-
ing tree, covered 50 deeply that no
mark had remained on the bark 10

must have been in its place for cen

NEw nANKING INSTITUTION.

The promoters of the new bank.
which will be organized here in the
near future, met during the week and
succeeded in making the allotment of
stock. 1t is expected that the bank
will start with a capital of $50, 600. al.
though this amount was largely over
subscribed
On account of this over subscription
il was found necessary to cut out every
one from outside who had made appli-
cation for stock, and also cut down the
amount Of stock applied for by home
people. This has finally been accom-
plished to the satisfaction of all and it
is now only short time until the bank
is thoroughly organized and opens for
business.

SHORT NOTES.

Otto g. Groechol, who has been
treasurer OF the township tor The past
two years, has probably made the best
collection of any treasurer in this nor
thern country. Mr.. Groeschel has
collected 80 80 per cent of the tax
and the amount OF the tax roll is con-
sidered this is certainly a splendid
record. The value OF the roll in this
township for the year 1911 was $ll5,
GOO. and OF this amount less than $500
went delinquent This record not only
speaks well for Mr. Groeschel, but 1t
also Indicates that our people are In.
dustrious and prosperous and that the
official acts OF Supervisor Coe have
been satisfactory to the taxpayers OF
the township. Is there another town
ship in the county or the upper PENN.

to making such close collection?

ERECTION Of HUGE WATER TANKS On Mt,
OOD|E RECOMMENDED BY COMMITTEE AS BEST
METHOD Of SECURING PROTECTION FOR FIRE.

The installation of two water tanks
Of 100000 gallons capacity each on
Mount Oddie. for the purpose of pro
yiding additional and sufficient wa
ter pressure for fire protection, was
recommended by a committee of five
TO the mass meeting of citizens Of
Tonopah at the meeting held last
night The committee was appointed
last Thursday and a thorough inves-
tigation was made as to the best
possible solution OF the matter in
securing adequate fire protection.
The committee stated that the pUr-
chasing VI fire steamer was out
Of the question, for If the steamer
supplied force at one location, the
pressure would be reduced in other
portions of town, thereby reducing
the protection in one district to pro
tect another district.

erage office of Harry Epstine and

was not crowded. but the gathering
