Tax Commission Gets Figures on
Actual and Assessed Valuation

The field agents then secured the
actual assessments on the various
pieces of property and from these fig,
ures the ratio of assessed to actual
value was worked out.
The average value of land in Cass
county was found to be $53.47 per
acre, with an average assessed value
of $10.17 per acre. Cass county, which
ranks highest in value of land, is as
sessing its farm lands on ratio OF
1902 per cent.
Trail county land is the third high
est in the state with value per acre
of $49.49 and an assessment on the
average of $40 per acre, which shows
that land in this county is being as
sessed at 2O.21 per cent of it's actual
value.
Richland county, which has the sec
ond highest value on its farm land
from sale prices, averages $5O.57 pei

Flood Waters Of Red
Claim Victim at Fargo

ed their first victim this season. Ivy
Borosky, 12.year-old son of Max Boro-
sky, restaurant owner, 10S Front
street, ventured out too far on the
ice which covered Island park and was
drowned. The body was recovered at
1890 o'clock, 30 minutes after the
child passed from sight.
Flood spectators in the vicinity of
Fourth street south, others on the
walk leading to the Auditorium and
several school children on the high
ground just north of the park, viewed
the tragedy. Telephone calls were
sent to the police department from
several business places, the first re-
ceived being from w. l. Adams, man.
ager of the Annex hotel. The police
ambulance made a hurried run.
Because of the ice that covered the
waters, which have half submerged
Island park, difficulty was encounter
ed by the police in reaching the scene.
Two boats broke the ice and took the
officers to spot where the lads cap
was in view. Graphing hooks were
thrown over and Officer Charles An
derson hooked the body on his second
throw.
Hundreds crowded the north bank
and watched the officers work. Dur.
ing this time the father of the child
stood at the water edge and watched
police officers break the ice and then
strike" for the child. He wrestled
with those that had him in charge as
Sergeant Sydness and Officer Ander-
son padded the boat that brought the
body to shore. 1t was taken into the
Henry Hector cottage on Fourth
street. Police were forced to use vio-
lence in keeping back the crowd that
was determined to enter the home.
DR.. w. G. Brown drove to the scene
of the tragedy five minutes after the
body had been taken out of the water.
Chief of Police Troyer and Desk Ser
geant Sydness with the physician
started the lungmotor and applied it,
but to no avail. The body had been
in the water too long.

Wimbledon S Bargain Day
an Overwhelming Success

Wimbledon News: Bargain Day on
Wednesday was a huge success both
from the standpoint of the local mer-
chant and the large army of buyers
as we'll. Nearly all day the stores
were crowded and at times even the
large force of clerks in the different
stores were unable to wait on all of
them promptly.
Besides the large crowds in the
stores the streets were the scene of
metropolitan activity nearly all day.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the Wimbledon
Concert band appeared on the street
and gave their open air concert which
lasted for an hour. They gave an ex.
cellent account of themselves much to
the delight of all who heard them.
The bargain day was arranged for

Bismarck, April 8.-During the past
year the tax commission have been
making a study of the relation OF &C.
tual value to assessed of farm lands
in the various counties of the state.
This work has been completed in 36
counties and is being sent out to the
county auditors, in order that they
may have it to use in iusrructing the
various bodies of assessors.
Following the methods tried and
found successful by the various tax
ing boards of Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and South Dakota, field
agents were sent to the various coun'
ties. These men took off the actual
transfers of property during the past
three years.
The considerations were then veri-
fed, either by the men who bought
that property, the agent who sold it
or by reputable men who knew from
personal knowledge what the piece OF
property in question had sold for. All
transfers which could not be so veri-
fed were discarded.

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

Metallurgical tests have estab-
lshed the success of the fotation
process, in the treatment of the low
grade, cOpper-bearing ores of the
Goldfield district, and within a short
time the Consolidated company's re-
duction plant will be treating 1000
tons daily by this process, while
the Florence will be increased later
in capacity Experiments that have
been or are being conducted by
other companies point to the prob
ability that other flotatiOn plants
will be built here and that the pro-
tonnage far surprising in volume any
that has been handled here in the
past.
In addition to the plans already
made public, it is reported that sew
eral companies will subject their
in order to determine the practic-
ability of placing them on a produc-
ing basis through the treatment, by
flOtation, of their refractory, low
grade ores. The success already at
tanned in the application of the pro-
the prediction that low-grade ore in
enormous quantity will be mined
profitably from a number of Gold
field properties that are now idle.
Results that have been obtained
in deep drilling by the Silver Pick
nificant, and it is now certain that
other companies will employ this
means of prospecting their proper
ties at Great depth. The discovery
of pay ore at the shale contact in
this part of the district and of
quartz within the shale. at depth
of over 1000 feet, has stimulated
confidence of the territory west of
the main ore-channel of the district
and will lead to the sinking OF
shafts in this region to the alaskite.
Interest in the copper belt short
distance south of Goldfield has be-
come intense with the entry of the
Clark interests into this field. Sena-
tor Clark now has force of men
at work on the Rea property and it
is stated by his representatives that
other properties in the Cuprite and
Jackson Mountain districts will be
thoroughly prospected in the effort
to open copper mines of sufficient
value to justify the building of large
reduction works.

SILVER PICK CORE DRILL
CUTS SHALE At 1000 Fl.

At a depth of about 1000 feet the
hale has been penetrated by a CalyX
core drill, operating on the 700-foOt
level of the Silver Pick Consolidat-
ed property, and Manager Dyer re-
ports having obtained assays of
over $50 per ton from the core at
the contact of the latte and shale.
The discovery, in the opinion of
Manager Dyer, justifies sinking the
shaft the additional 800 feet neces-
sary to reach the contact, and he
has recommended to President Zadig
and the directors that TINS work be
undertaken Immediately.
A 16-inch section of the drill core,
brought in from the mine by Man
ager Dyer, shows plainly the condi-
tion at the point of contact be-
tween the two formations, one end
of the core section being composed
of the typical dark shale of the dis
trict and the other end of highly
silicified latte, identical in character
with the material forming the con-
tact ore-channels found near the
same depth farther east, in the Con-
solidated and Jumbo Extension.
This discovery is regarded as
highly significant, particularly in
view of the fact that there has been
