Ruling Means 100000 win
Revert to State Treasury
To Collect in 30 Days.

81. Paul-Minnesota's occupation
tar on the valuation OF iron ores mined
or produced In that state was declared
constitutional and valid by the gu.
preme court.
Thirty-seven companies, comprising
nearly all OF those engaged In mining
iron ore In Minnesota. had attacked
the validity OF the law In seven cases.
and had obtained from the federal dis
trict court OF Minnesota an order sus-
pending its enforcement. The suits
were based on an assertion that the
state in the guise OF taxes was seeking
to exact annually many millions OF
dollars In a way which was obnoxious
TO both the Minnesota constitution and
the federal constitution, and which de-
prived the companies Of equal protec.
ton under the law.
The law was passed In 1921. calling
for a per cent gross earnings tar on
all ore mined In the state. Two years
have elapsed since the passing OF this
law and as q consequence the mining
companies OF the state are for that
length OF time in arrear In their pay
ments.
The tar IN 1921 totals approximately
100000 while the tax for 1922 totals
approximately $4,000. 1000. Mr.. Hilton
explained.

COAL MINE BLAST
ENT0MBS Ten
Workers Buried Under Debris OF
Wrecked Slope In Col
orado Shaft.

Trinidad. Colo.-3 bodies had been
recovered and eight men checked as
missing In the explosion that wrecked
the north slope of the Rocky Mountain
Fuel company mine at Southwestern
camp near Aguilar. Ten men were
entomhed by the blast.
Reports from the mine said the be-
lief il strengthened by conditions en-
countered by the rescue crews that all
In the mine have persisted. Several
Of the rescuers were overcome by gas.
The explosion is declared at the
mine offices to have been caused by
set on Of gas. Three men working
In the upper seam OF the mine at the
time OF the blast came out unhurt.
The entombed miners were working
In the north slope which received the
brunt Of the explosion. That more
men we're not In the shafts was due
to the fact that Saturday is an idle
day at the mines, with only q few
workers employed In cleaning the
loads.
The superintendent went into the
mine to explore the wrecked slope
within q few minutes after the explo-
sion. Rescue guards were unable to
break through the wrecked shaft until
late In the afternoon.

BUTTER STEALING
GANG is IN TOLLS
Creameries' Association is
Rounding up Thieves
After Two Year
Search.

After a two-year search, offici-
ais of the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries' Association have
taken first steps toward breaking
up a gang of thieves that have
been raiding cooperative cream
cries in the vicinity of Minnea-
polls and St. Paul. Thus far, two
dealers and four other men are
under arrest. Additional devel-
opments are forecast.
/. Butter thieves have been espe-
cially active during recent
months, one creamery having
been robbed of $1,000 worth of
butter in a single haul. One of
the best legal firms in the Twin
Cities has been employed to assist
the association in prosecuting the
case and it is proposed to round
up all implicated. those higher up
as well as the actual thieves.
We have the ring leaders in
JAIL says A. ]. Mcclure, general
manager, "and we have obtained
a confession which greatly simph-
fies our task. We expect to not
only bring criminal actions but
will institute civil suits to re-
cover from the dealers the value
of the butter stolen"
Because the case has not as
yet been presented in court, we
can not make statements as to the
manner in which the gang operat-
ed, but We are convinced that we
have the thieves as well as deal
ers who have. been disposing of
the stolen butter. Before we
conclude the case, We will have
all connected with the plot in Jail
and our evidence indicates that
convictions are assured"
