them. He was the balance wheel
that kept things going In %troublous
times, and prevented them from run
ming away In easy times. He left a
son, but whether he Is a successor or

turns to the assessor. They do not
want to make a return and find they
valued the property higher than do
the commissioners, for the valuation
cannot be reduced.

IS people believe in going after the
ore In the ground, and have been very
successful In finding what they &C
after.
