Charles Moffett Visits Mineral Point,
the Home of His Boyhood.

Charles T. Moffett of Minneapolis
was here last week. The five Moffett
brothers (sons of the late DR.. J. B.
Moffett) are in the real estate business,
Leslie are residents of Minneapolis.
Leslie is practicing law in New York,
and is a member of the Moffett real
estate syndicate. Charles T. Moffett,
then lad, removed with the family to
Minneapolis thirty-one years ago.
During his stay here this time he eX-
pressed himself greatly pleased with
the progress of the old town. AS he
expressed it to a representative Of The
Democrat, mo town of it's size, any
where, has anything on Mineral Point. !"
He said our greatest need was organ
lied effort to boom the place; that the
city and surroundings are beautiful
and his surprise was that the people
here do not realize the value Of pub
licity.
On Friday last Mr. Moffett, in com
pany with Mrs Edwin Woolrich, Miss
Bassett and Miss Emma Padon, went
over to the home of Mr. and Mrs Thos.
Bowen at Dodgeville and took dinner
there. When the Moffett boys were
quite small Mrs Bowen formed a true
and firm friendship for the family, and
it is always kindly remembered by the
Noffett brothers and the Bowens.

FINDS MINERAL POINT is WET

Judge Lyons of Elkhorn, who heard
the case brought in the name of the
State Of Wisconsin to restrain the COM
mon council from issuing license for
the sale of liquors, has rendered his de-
cision and finds for license. He says
that admitting all that is claimed by
the State, the evidence fails to show
that a majority of votes were cast
against license.

A GOOD PIECE OF ROAD WORK

A very promising piece of road work
is under way on the north Waldwick
road, between the Cross Roads cheese
factory and the farm of Henry Gribble.
The road has been relocated and when
improved will cut ont very heavy
gr ade as we'll as do away with some
dangerous corners where the view was
very much obscured. When the i'm
provement is worked out it will reflect
credit on the projectors and the men
who put it through.

MELONS SG0OUT
 IN B|G NUMBER

Sixty-seven carloads of cantaloupes from the Salt River valley bound for 32 different cities went forth to market yesterday. This brings the total ship ped to date up to PIP carloads as against 240 on the similar date a year ago. This is considered a good show ing-better than expected-considering the lateness of the coming of hot weather In very few days it is expected that the record of a year ago will be passed
 Each day the marketing bureau, be- ing maintained jointly by the govern ment and local interests, in the water users building, is issuing a most com- prehensve little daily paper giving dope" with regard to the cantaloupe situation. The issue for yesterday shows not only the number of cars shipped but their destination, the big gest number, eight, going to New York with Chicago second with seven car loads
 The little eantaloupe paper which will be sent free daily to any canta- loupe grower upon written request contains market news from all of the buying centers. As a whole this report shows that Arizona canta- loupes are in big demand and are ar irving in excellent shape. In New York they bring up to S2.75 a crate.

VALUATION 0F MINES GROWS
 BY MILLIONS
State Tax Commission Says Taxable Value of Mines in
 Arizona Is S,743.57
 More Than It Was in 1916

The valuation of the mines of this state will add sl5S,743,373.57 to the taxable wealth of the state this year. the total valuation fixed by the state tax commission being $330. 0.631, ,994.76 against $171, ,616.19 in 1916. This valuation is just for the mining prop critics and not for the improvements which are assessed by the counties in which they are situated. Such improve ments last year were valued at $39,- 566,662.77. The total valuation of min ing properties in the state, therefore this year will be not less than $370, ,000,- 900. It is estimated that the total val nation of all classes of property for taxable purposes this year will be about $660, ,000,0 900 against $4S6, ,406,51S50 in 1915.
 Several causes contribute to the greater valuation of the mining proper ty of the state this year. One is the greater production which increases the average of the five-year period on which valuations are based and anoth CT is the bringing in this year of new property and the great increase in value of certain properties which year ago were new. For instance the Inspiration, which in 1916 was as- sessed at S20, 400, ,S96.71, this year leads all other mines in this state in valua- tion with SIS, ,432 900. The United Verde Extension a year ago was assessed at S5,360, 2S0.73 this year bears an as- sessment of more than 10000 The Copper Queen which led all other mines year ago with s36,000,0 900 plus is this year assessed atss54 ,000, ,000 plus.
 The valuation of the properties of the Calumet and Arizona has been in creased $14,000,000 and that of the United Verde Copper, $17, 7,000,000.
 The values of the Inspiration and the U. V. Extension are largely due to de- velopment while those of the other mines mentioned result from greater production.
 The clerical force of the tax com mission this morning will complete a detailed statement of the valuations of the mines by properties and counties.
