 Prosperity of Valdez.

A new mining company has been incorporated by local men which will mean the establish-
 ment of a mill on another Val- deZ property at no distant date.
 The incorporators of the new company are E. E. Ritchie, Chas.
 Ganty, Jesse Martin and Henry Deyo. Messrs. Ritchie and Gan ty were serving in a legal ca pacity and after the formation of the company had been con- pleted they resigned. The direc-
 tors are Messrs. Deyo, Martin, Ramsey and Rutherford.
 The company has taken over thei Ramsey-Rutherford property, which is located on the right side of the Valdez glacier, and will continue development and place a mill on the ground for the re- duction of it's ore. The purchase price was Sii5,000. Develop ment will resume about Decem- Der list, when the task of freight
 ing the mill and other machin- cry to the ground can be under taken to advantage.
 The property has been cXlrn- sivcly developed during the past year and has shown that the leads gain in strength with depth and continue their values Several thousand dollars has been expended on development work alone and body of ore has been uncovered which war rants the erection of a mill. Con- servative estimates have placed the value of the ore in sight to pay a profit of $75,O00 over min ing and milling expense.
 There are two ore bodies on the property which have been de- veloped, one of which is exten- sive and gives values averaging St5 per ton. The other lead ap- proximates two feet at the bottom of the l35-foot shaft and ship ment of fifty tons of ore made from this lead to the Tacoma smelter gave returns of S85 per ton, gross values.
 The operation of the Ramsey Rutherford property will mean much to Valdez, as those inter- eSted are local men and are in a position financially to carry on their operations to successful issue. The employment of the large number of Jnen which will be necessary to carry on the work planned will materially add to the prosperity of the local business men, and in a few more monhtS another property will be sending in it's gold bricks to the banks here.

The Pacific Cold Storage con- pany sent shipment of one hundred frozen reistdeer from Nome on the Elihu Thompson and the meat will be sent to cities all along the coast and to east ern points. The bulk of he meat was sent to Kansas City for some reason, orders having been placed in advance.
 The first shipment was made two years ago, but because of op- erating difficulties no more came last year. A new plant has been installed by the company in the north.
 Reindeer are multiplying in Alaska and there are now ap- proximately 5O,OO0 head descend ed from the few that were sent to Alaska several years ago by the government.

The Cheery Smile.

| It isn't hard to smile and sing
 on mellow days of fall or spring,
 when skies are bright and sunny; a man in comfort then can stroll, and kick his heels and caracOle,
 and be quite. pert and funny. It's easy then to scatter jokes, and say to grouchy, gloomy folks, "lf you've a grief, behead it'; we are all optimists in May, and many "a cheerful thing we say, and
 claim all kinds of credit. But
 when grim August burns the air, what kind of smile do you then wear to cheer the people? Are your remarks still safe and sane,
 or would your language jar the zane from off the steeple The
 oplimist most worthy fame is he
 who plays his joyous game when
 weather's frightful; who smiles
 serenely through his sweat, and
 says, "Thdse days, already yet,
 are most delightful But where,
 oh, where's this noble gent who wont confess to discnntent, who
 smiles and chortles? I fear me
 much he's in his grave; he's too
 radiant and brave to dwell with
 mortals. WALT MASON.

N. B. Donahue, president of the Eldorado-D Quartz Mining company, has brought out from the north what is claimed to be the hoof of an eohippus, the grogenitor of the horse of today. The tiny hoof was found in froz- en ground 36 feet below the sur face, in a mining claim located 70 miles from Dawson. Mir. Donahue asserts that scientists who have. examined it, pronounce il an ideal specimen and say there is no doubt it is tte hoof of a .preAistoric herse.ssThe shopf is at idaSt roo, ,O0O years old, he says, and perhaps older by i,- 00O,0O0 years or so.

Says That Camp Shows More t q ,. f.... :..,f Gold for Work Done Than
 Any Other.

The members of the govern- ment party under Lieut.. Howard, who was sent into the Shushan- ma to make report on condi- Itions in that camp, returned yes terday afternoon. The party lconsisted of Lieut.. Howard, Ho- mer Olts and two soldiers.
 MT. Olts is an old-timer in Alaska, having spent sixteen years in the north and has visit led nearly every camp which. has been discovered during that time and his opinion of the Shushan- ma will be received by miners and |prospectors as coming from one in whom they can place reliance. He was enabled to make a pret- lily comprehensive examination of the country on this trip, as he has spent several years in that section of Alaska and is familiar with conditions Where. H9 be lieves the reports coming out that the camp is. no, good are not warranted. He states that con- |sidering the amount of work done the camp has shown more gold than any other which has been discovered for years. In fact very little development work has been done except where the gold is actually being taken out.
 Mr. Olts says that no very fine dust is found in the paystreaks being worked, but that it is what miners term ''paystreak gold" He has some small nuggets from the ground of Carl Whitem, on Little Eldorado, which vary from a quarter pennyweight up. He states that James is reported to have taken out $35, ,OOO during the season. Many of those go- ing hurriedly over the camp and seeing the operators working a narrow strip believed that to be the extent of the paystreaks. This was caused by the operat- Ors being ill hurry to get out as much money as possible dur ing the short season, but with machinery the ground would pay from rim to rim on many of the claims.
 In describing the surrounding country MT. Olts says that with the exception of the creeks where pay has been found the rolling hills are gravel and are very in- viting to prospectors. He be- lieves that between three and four hundred miners will winter in the camp and that if the camp is good they will find the pay streaks. Everybody is short of grub and those who are staying are doing so because they have faith in the district. Small game is plentiful and caribou and sheep will help the prOspectors out un- til snow comes and supplies can be taken in.
 The party went in over the government trail to Gulkana, where they took the old Aber- crombie trail to Cobb lake, then over a divide and down Platinum creek to NeDesna, up a small stream over Cooper pass and down Notch creek to Shushanna.
 MT. Olts has travelled thou sands of miles in Alaska and re- ports that the trail over which they passed was very fair. Nat urally there were bad places to negotiate with heavily loaded pack animals, but even these were not as bad as some he has encountered on other trips.

An error occurs in the notices sent out by the Town Assessor to taxpayers informing them of the sittings of the Board of Equaliz- ation owing to the fact that the assessor was furnished with a copy of the new tax ordinance, which had not been corrected af- ter amendments were adopted. The board will meet from eight to nine in the evening of the days named instead of two to four in the afternoon.

SECOND ARTICLE BY
. STATE TAX COMMISSI0|
EXPLAINS HOW YOUR TOTAL TAX Is TIN
RESULT OF THE ESTIMATE DF|
FOUR BOARDS.


The Constitution of South Da-
kota says that the limit Of the levy
rate of state tax for ordinary rum
ming expenses shall be mills on
the dollar or 20 cents on each $IOo
worth of taxable property. II
enough money was not raised the
year before, then to make up what
is lacking, and to pay interest on
the state debt. not more than an
other 20 cents on each $rOo may
be levied. So for state tax the to-
tai rate or levy cannot be higher
than 40 cents on each $Ioo worth
of taxable property or q mills on
the dollar.
The law creating the tax com
mission states plainly that no more
money is to be raised each year for
state purposes than is actually
needed and the tax commissioners
are as plainly instructed by that
law how to find the amount need
ed. Referring to the state tax
rate, the act reads in part as fol-
lows:
and such rate shall not ex-
ceed rate which will produce a
revenue sufficient to defray the es-
Itinated ordinary expenses of the
current year. and any deficiency
that may remain unpaid of th6
preceding year
fwfti1 suf1cient amount 70 pay itIll
annual interest and provide 4 sink
ing fund for the payment of the
public debts of the state, and for
the payment of special appropria-
tions made by this (IoI3) legisla-
ture."
This is substantially the same
law as the one that governed and
limited the powers of the old state
board of assessment and equaliza-
ton.
How much money is really need
ed to run the state as the legislat-
ure says it shall be conducted
With that question answered all
there remains to do is to find out
who has to pay it and how much
each one is to pay. The law di
rects that every dollars worth OF
taxable property in the state shall
bear its equal share of taxes for
this purpose. The assessors try to
find out who owns taxable proper
ty and how much each one owns.
With this information at hand it is
merely matter of figures to find
out what rate of levy will raise the
amount needed for state purposes,
for as shown in taxation article
No. i, the rate is only matter OF
calculations. This state tax is
the only one that applies to all tax
payers of South Dakota.
Four other classes Of taxing
boards have to do with levies.
They are: (I) the commissioners,
(2) the township supervisors, (3)
the city council and (4) the school
boards. Without paying any at
tention to what assessed valuations
have been, are or may be, the
proper officers notify the auditor
of their county what amount OF
money will be needed for the regu
lar business of the year. and not a
dollar more is raised. If more is
asked for than the law allows, the
county auditor cuts the amount
down to what the highest rate of
levy allowed by law for this pur-
pose would raise. However, this
very seldom has to be done.
Article No. 3 will discuss as

Some OF the wounded were still ly-
ing on the battlefield two days after
the fight and subsequently taken to

the most part located in billiard par
