HOT SPRINGS NOTES

1Ol SPRlNUS NOlES
Attorney A. ID. Bulls of Fort
Morgan, Colo. was a guest OF the
Hot Strings Hotel during this
week
MIR. Anton Eiseman of Denver
IS here for :he baths. Mr.. Else
man is prominent decorator and
art designer o. Denver. The deco
ration in the Auditorium, St. Jo-
seph's Hospital, Orpheum Theatre
Tabor Grand Theatre and many
other large public buildings were
designed and executed by Mr..
Eiseman. He is here taking the
baths aud figuring on the dec
oratlons for the new Hot Springs
hotel, For the past two years he
/ has been practically unable to
work, but says that after these
baths he would be able TO resume
work.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Shirley,
Il sister, Mrs. Hook, came up
tor the hot baths on Monday
Mr. Shirley is a weil-to-ranch
owner OF LaPorte. Colorado.
Forbes Rickard, we'll known in
connection with the Dupont Rad
ium interests has been i'll town
two or three times during the past
week. The first suggestion of ra-
dio activity in the Hot Springs is
probably due TO Mr.. Rlckard.
Prof. Miller, of the Colorado
School OF Mines, spent torty-eight
hours at the Hot Springs Hotel
last week making tests OF the
Spring waters. 1t is extremely
gratifying TO know that Professor
Miller's tests disclosed high radio
activity in the waters. \ copy
of his hual report has not yet been
received but by next weei. issue
of the Si.tings it will be al hand
and all of It that will be of inter
est 10 Idaho Springs citizens will
be printed. Prof. Miller is a man
ot unquestIoned ability and his re-
port may be relied upon. The
best information at hand now is
that the Springs contain consider
ably over double the number of
units per litre of radio-activity the
most famous European springs
St. Joachimsthal, Bohemia--con-
tain. The cures affected by The
waters here are undoubtedly due
to large extent TO this hitherto
undiscovered radio-activity.
Mr.. Charles I. Cow accom-
panied Prof. Miller and was one
of the most interesting visitors
we have had. Mr.. Cow is ma
tive of China and an exceptionally
bright student. He is one of d
number the Chinese Government
has sent to this country to study
i'll our universities The Chinese
Government, according TO an in
terview with Mr.. Cow, annually
sends number of the brightest
students they can pick to Ameri-
ca to study and the government
pays all the expenses and the stu
dents are expected to return to
China at the end of their studies
and devote their education to the
betterment of conditions there.
From Prof. Miller it was learn
ed that Mr.. Cow is one of the
brightest students of the univer-
sity and is a graduate. Next year
he will go to Cam bridge. The
fact that he was brought to Idaho
Springs in preference to our own
nationality to assist Prof. Miller
is an indication of his ability. He
is exceptionally capable in research
work.

. Its effect on county assessments,
The Denver Times SUMMARIZES The
situation in the following words.
1t is understood that Lake county
is making a trial case. Whatever
may be the result, the fact is that
the situation is very complicated
and embarrassing one and will. no
doubt require legislations to re
lieve this situation. Il is the inn
preston of lawyers that this ar
bitrary increase cannot be proTa-
ted among the personal, realty
and mining properties but must
be borne by the personal and
realty or the increase applies to
the property as returned By the
assessor. The following will be
of an explanator, nature.
Assessors ia counties where
mining operations are carried on
are confronted with a problem In
taxation even more mplicated
than the one which for weeks oc-
cupied the attention of the state
Supreme court III the recently de-
cided Pitcher case and whlCh b
threatens TO tie up the taxes in
all such counties tor an indefinite
period
Under the majority opinion in
the Pitcher mandamous action the
arbitrary increase throughout the
state, as fixed bg the state tax
comm lssion and approved by the
state board of equalization,. must
be extended in a blanket form
over all the properties i'll the
county not originally assessed by
the state tax comm isslon.
In other words. the assessed
valuation OF all public utilities
@orportions in he state will remain
at the figure fixed by the tax COM
mission originally. but all proper
ties assessed by the several count Y
assessors mus Bear tnelr snare of
the increased valuation
Mining property, however has
a specific valuation arrived at un-
der statute nacted by the lat
legislature. All producing min
ing property is valued by the
county assessors for taxation pur-
poses, a. one halt the gross pro-
ceeds for the year, unless the net
proceeds exceed one-half of the
gross p oceeds, when the net pro-
ceeds when the net proceeds be-
comes the full cash valuation for
purposes of taxation"
Therefore, say students of the
situation, if blankets increased
of Is percent has been ordered by
the Supreme court $ approval Of
the state board of equalization ac-
ton, the question arises as to how
the county assessor can make
that rs percent increase on min
ing property, already assessed at
full cash valuation for purposes
of taxation
If it is impossible for the assess
or to apply the blanket increase to
mining properties his only alter
native IS to subtract the full cash
valuation" of the mining proper
ties from the total OF his returns
and then apply the total Is per-
cent increase to only a portion
of the properties assessed by him,
it is stated. Such assessment and
taxation is said to be illegal and in
violation of the constitution and
The statutes on taxation which ae-
cording to Justice Hills dissenting
opinion in the Pitcher case, pro-
hibits discrimination between |
classes of property.
To take concrete case, Clear
Creek countys assessed valua-
tion was Increased arbitrarily by
the tax commission and the board
of equalization by $87o, 900, max
ing the total valuation $3,733,ooo
This is an increase of about Is per
