has called a meeting of silver produc-
ers Of the United states, Canada.

conference will result in the origin Of

keting of silver of this hemisphere so
as to meet seasonal demands and
prevent unfair and detrimental con-
troll over its prices" The letter states
that no discussion of bimetallism and
free coinage would be permitted at the
yer producers, foreign exchange ex-
perts and others would be sought for
use in connection with the commit
tees report to the senate, which must
be submitted by January 1. In add-

many years. Last year he secured Il
lease on the Sunset mine, owned by
Senator Clark. and during the past
winter he and an assistant have been
engaged in taking out ore for ship
ment Mr.. Bachman was in Wallace
about two weeks ago to arrange for
hauling the ore to the railroad. and
when he returned to the mine he was
suffering with a severe cold. Upon
reaching the mine he steadily grew
worse and last week he telephoned
Geo. X. Garrett to bring up a car TO
take him to the hospital. Mrs. Bach
man arrived from Butte several days
before he passed away. His brother
Adolph Bachman, of Butte. and sister
Mrs. A. B. Snow. of San Diego, were

dr. Bachman was born in Michigan

ears.

proceeds from the tailings in question,
under the facts here disclosed. are not
included within its terms"
Apparently he draws a distinction
between a tailings pile owned by a
, company operating a "going" mine.
and by a company holding an idle"
mine. This should comfort Utah Cop
per in a degree at least.
The opinion seems to recognize the
validity of the met proceeds" meth
DDS of taxing mining property used in
a number of other states. The prin-
ciple is set forth in the following lucid
paragraphs:
"The state constitution plainly con-
templates that all property, irrespec-
tive of its character shall be taxed
according to its value in money The
provision with reference TO taxation OF
metalliferOus mines does not mean to
depart from this rule, but recognizes
that their value can not be determin-
ed in the ordinary way since the ores
which constitute the wealth of such
property are hidden in the earth and,
as a general thing. disclosure of their
extent and character must await ex-
traction. The constitution. therefore
provides. not for disregardlng value in
the assessment of taxes upon mines,
but for arriving at il in a special man
ner-that is. by a measurement pro-
portioned to the net annual proceeds
derived from the property. The value
of property bears a relation to the in
come which it affords If it be prop
erty whose production is uniform and
of indefinite duration the capitaliza-
ton of the net income derived from
1t at the going rate of interest, in the
absence of a more certain method, will
furnish a reasonable measure of the
value. The life of a mine, however.
S limited The extraction of ores
rom year to year constitutes a con-
slant drain upon the capital, which.
n course of time, will be exhausted
t follows that a given multiple of the
let annual proceeds which may be
air measure of value in the early
art of a mines development, will be-
ONES excessive as the stage of ex-
austion approaches The constitu-
ional provision, therefore. at best, will
reduce only approximate equality"

Tailings and Mine Taxation
(E. & NJ. Journal Press)

"The tailings, severed and removed
from the mining claims, changed in
character, placed on other and separ-
ate lands and having an ascertained
and adjudcated value of their own. in
our opinion, constituted a unit of pro-
perty entirely apart from the mine
from which they had been taken.
We think the agreement with
the leasing company was not a sale of
these tailings but that the ownership.
pending the process of reduction, re-
manned in plaintiff. The plaintiff.
therefore, was subject to taxation up
on their value. but not as a mine, since
that implies something capable of be-
ing mined which this loose and homo
geneous deposit obviously was not"
SO declares the United States SUI
preme court in the case of the South
Utah Mines & Shelters VS.. Beaver
county. The details of the case were
outlined in our issue of April IT. Off
Gals in Utah collected a tax based on
the net proceeds from the reworking
by lessees of the tailings pile in ques-
ton, several years after operation of
the mine at Newhouse. Utah, had been
discontinued. The mining company
sued to recover the taxes and after
losing in the lower courts has finally
won
The case is particularly interesting
because the Utah Copper company is
now engaged in fighting another coun-
ty in Utah to nullify a tax placed on

centrators at Garfield, ABOUT twenty
