Paid Taxes Under Protest
The Verona company own what are
known az the wilkinson lands in
Crystal Falls township. On one forty
OF this land is located body of iron
ore. There is no question but that
the ore exists there for the reason that
the Carpenter mine TO the east II
opened up on the same deposit OF ore
and the ore stands exposed along the
north and south line OF the Carpenter
workings.
The Carpenter people also own the
MonongaheIa property TO the north
aud have explored along the north
line OF the lense OF orc SO that the
length and width OF the body IS OBJ
iainable to very fair degree of ac-
curacy
In addition the dip OF the body is
towards the Wilkinson so that the
prospects for the ore being In larger
amount at depth Is very good.
The tax commission set value OF
s31l ,a0c. and this value Is based upon
the estimated tonnage. The real es-
tate value OF the Carpenter mine-the
east portion OF this deposit--was fixed
by the commission at s7o1 100000. more
than twice the value placed upon the
wilkinson II is but fair to say. how
ever, that the Carpenter is developed
while the Wilkinson has had no work
done upon IL.
Value Fixed by Commission.
This value OF 1911 300 was the one
which the tar commission fixed and
which the board OF review accepted

mission on the other mines OF the as

from the original figures OF the com
mission.

that he began TO fail rapidly early I'm
the week and had several sinking
spells. finally passing away late on
Saturday.
The remains were taken in charge
by tho local lodge Of masons TO which
order Mr.. Robbins belonged for many
years. The funeral was held from the
home on Wednesday at 2:30, large
number OF the old nelghbors turning
out to pay their last respects TO the
deceased.
Mr.. Robbins was GO years OF age
and was born at place called Danes
vile, ". Y. He came to Crystal Falls
about 30 years ago and was for many
years IN the employ of Holmes a Son
in charge OF the supplies and Office.
Mr.. Robbins was married in Crystal

TRAIN sERyICE CRIPPLED.
storms Of Last Week Disrupted Ser
vice 10 the Upper Peninsula.

The train service last week and the
first portion OF the present week was
little the worst that this section has
seen In many a day. The terrible
cold. coupled with the storms that
prevailed, made railroading exceed
ingly difacult.
The st. Paul train service was very
bad between Charming and Iron River
and brought out a lot OF criticism from
passengers that patronize that line.
Tho criticism was directed mainly
against the service at Claiming and
from the statements made II looks as
II they had ample reasons for their
complaints.
The chief complaint was that the
train between Iron River and Chan
ming was run back from Claiming
without considering connections with
the other trains that were near at
hand. On Thursday the Iron River
train pulled out OF Claiming with the
train from the north standing within
400 feet OF the switch and having on
board six passengers destined TO Crys-
tai Falls and Iron River. These pas
sengers were compelled 10 stay at
Claiming until about 2:30 p. IN. be-
fore a train was made up TO get them
along the line.
The express service came In for n
lot OF drubbing also. especially from
merchants who had perishable goods
onroutc. A truck loaded with express
stood outside OF the depot at Chan
ming from about l1:0G O'Clock until
800 o'clock on Thursday in n biting
cold The truck contained a lot OF
perishahle stun for local merchants
and as result Il was all frozen when
1t got here. About FIVE minutes OF one
mans time would have sufiiced TO
push the truck into the station and
saved all OF that property. 1t would
also have saved many people who
were depending upon that stuff much
disappointment.
The Northwestern service was as
badly crippled as the st. Paul, al
though there was no complaint about
the transfer at Stager. On Saturday
the passenger train due here at 400
O'Clock arrived at 1900 at night.
The trains got to running with more
regularity this week and on Tuesday
conditions had righted very material
ly. The public must expect to put up
with some inconvenience at such times
for the fellow having the train service
In hand has a problem with the ele-
ments bucking him as they were last
week. II is claimed that some couple
dozen passenger trains operating be-
tween Chicago and the coast were lost
on Saturday and strenuous efforts
were being made TO get into communi-
cation with them.
