The Philadelphia high school class

Capitol was the third within a short
time and it is interesting, and graft
flying as well, to learn that this city
was picked over New York, West Point
and Washington. The explanation of
the student visitors is that their pres
ence is more appreciated in a small
town than in big one and they have
4 better time.

MILL THAT COST 100000
NOW ASSESSED AT $1,000

Out near Ely, New, there is an old
mill plant which twenty-five years
ago was erected at a cost OF $780,
600. 1t has lain idle for the past
twenty-five years, and is today asses
sed at a valuation of $1,000. The
gound upon which the mill stands
has been jumped and the matter of
the ownership probably will be
fought out in the courts. Relative
to the matter the White Pine News
says hat j, G. Kearns requested that
an old milling property at Seligman
near Hamilton be assessed to him
self and three associates, who re-
Gently located the ground on which
the mill stands. For many years
the property was returned by Eu-
gene Howell, who held title to a
number of patented mines adjoining
and also the unpatented grounds on
which the mill is situated. The re-.
turn was made in the usual manner
this year, but Mr.. Kearns claims that
the assessment work was not per
formed on the land in question as
required by law.
1t was the opinion Of District At
torney Billings that the board
should accept Kearns' statement and
allow both claims to pay taxes in
order that title might be rightfully
detrmined in the courts. The. plant
at the time OF it's construction cost
100000, but large portion of the
machinery has been moved away to
other camps that have sprung up In
recent years.
