periOr for that year and that the state
board of equalization erred in allow
ing the deduction as "cost Of ores pur-
chased" The supreme court affirms
the Judgment of the lower court inso-
far as it dismissed mandamuS proceed

judgment as it affects the proceedings
against the state board of equalization
