The drifting win be projected towards the Ncrth Fault at it's intersection with the quartz porphyry dike which showed very promising on the roo foot level. in anticipation Of developing more water the company has ordered an electric aI Eanp which is now en route to Jerome.

 With his companions he went to a local photographer and they secured two sensitized plates and between them placed two keys and some coins. These were put inside a book and the whole wrapped in light proof paper and enclosed in boards tightly screwed together and buried in seven feet of mud at the location. After several hours the outfit was hoistei out ana the contrivance taken to Brainerd where the photographer took out the plates in a dark room and developed the negative showing the two keys. The coins simply appear as rings. The photographs are radio graphs and Coleman and Miller are convinced they have located radiun, and as it is selling at about $115.000 a gram it will not take very much to make them rich.

On one train that came into the Espee yards last week there were 32 hobos.

MINNESOTA NINTH.
This State Produces Over Half Of
 Iron Ore Mined in U. S.

Because Of its great wealth and ex- tensive development Of iron ores, Min nesota ranks ninth among all the state in the value of its mineral pro duction. Tn Its output Of iron ore Minnesota far oItranks all other states, and during the last three years it has contributed both in quantity and value considerably more than half of the iron ore produced and marketed in the United States, according to Edward W. Parker Of the United States Geological Survey, In 1912 the total marketed production of iron ore in the United States was 57.0T7.614 long tons, valued at S107 G5G5. .153, of which Minnesota contrib uted 34,249,S13 long tons, valued at s61. .S05,C1T. By far the largest part of the iron produced in the state is derived from the Mesaba and Vermi,- ion iron ranges, now the most inl- portant iron producing district in the world. The Messba is the youngest of the great iron ranges, the Cuyuna range, which has been developed in the last two or three years, not has- irg attained notable prominence al the close of 1912, in which year it's production amounted to 36S.7S9 long tons. The Mesaba range was opened in 1892, and yielded production in that year of less than 30,O00 tons. h 1895 it yielded nealy 2,0e0,009 tons :; in 1902 it produced over 13,000 900 tons, or nearly half of the total OuJ- put Of the Lake Superior iron ore. The Messba range reached it's hign- est production point in 1912, with an output of 32,e04.756 long tons.
 Exclusive of the iron ore the value If the mineral products of Minnesota in 1912 vas S4.ssd7f2. Of this less important products the principal items are from the quarries and clay pits. which yield products of ai- most equal value. In Isl1 tie clay products. exclusive of pottery, were valued at s1.sl1,04o. and the stone output at sf.s45.7<6. M
 The total value of the mineral pro ducts in Minnesota in 1912 was ss6. e72, ,72s. against s53.395,SSl in 1911, an increase of sls,276S4s.

Taxation and Assessments.
(From State Tax Commission

lfrOm OCaCe lax COmmlSSlOn)
An entirely unwarranted import
ance is given in the popular discus.
sion of taxation to the rate of levy.
1t is often discussed as If it we're the
main factor in taxation, while as a
matter of fact. the important factor
is the amount of money to be raised
for public purposes in any taxing
district. knowledge of the several
steps taken in the process of raising
public revenue should show how err
roneous is this Importance given to
the rate. The rate is a mathematical
convenience and may be high or low
without really affecting the amount
of taxes to be paid, for if assessed
values are high the rate will be low,
and wise versa; if assessed values are
low the rate will be high.
When the amount of money to be
raised is determined, the fixing of
the rate is simply amatter of mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation.
Let us illustrate: Suppose a tax
ing district having an assessed value
of ST, 900. O0C desires to raise $40, 600
for public purposes by taxation.
Clearly a levy Of ten mills or one
cent on each dollar of assessed value
would be necessary to produce the
required amount of revenue. Now
suppose the assessed value of the
same property was increased to
So 900, 900, then Eve mills or one-half
of one cent would be sufficient to
produce the required $40, 900. In
the first case AS property being as
sessed at 81, 900. he pays $40 in taxes:
in the second place, while his assessed
value has been doubled. the rate has
been cut in half. and he still pays but
$40 IN taxes. The rate then becomes
q mere incident. and not at all a
matter of first Importance.
