JUDGE POMEROY MAY
BE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE

According to reports that are con-
sidered authentic, it is very probable
that Judge c. w. Pomeroy will enter
the race for the judgeship as an in
dependent candidate. He was recently
in Libby and other parts of Lincoln
county, and, it is understood, told
friends that he is seriously considering
becoming an independent candidate.

Big Improvement on Hill.

The county road crew was working
the first of the week on a big i'm
provement on the sharp pitch in the
road just beyond the river bridge Mt
Libby, as one turns to the right going
east. The sharpe grade has been greatly
reduced and the roadway widened to
full standard width. This work gives
full vision from the top to the bottom
OF the hill, something that heretofore
did not exist.

Tax LevicS in
ThreeLinCOln County
Cities Are Studied
Interesting Sidelights on Where Tax
Dollar Goes in Libby, Eureka
and Troy.

Let us this week spend a little more
time looking into the tax question in
Lincoln county, more particularly as
it affects the three incorporated cities
in the county
All tax payers in the county pay
5 1-3 mills for state purposes This
is made up of mills for the state
general fund, 212 mills for the Greater
University and five-sixth of a mil
for the educational bond fund Every
taxpayer in the county pays that levy.
Then we find that all taxpayers in
Libby pay further levies, as follows:
For county purposes ...-............ 1876 mills.
For Libby city government 1925 mills
For Libby schools Ills mills
For general school - 60 mills
For county high school ........ 8.5 mills
Outside of improvement district
costs and those few who own livestock,
that embraces all the taxes the Libby
citizen has to pay. BY referring to the
above figures it is seen that the Libby
taxpayer pays somewhat more to run
his city government than he pays as
his share of the county expense, with
the schools running close second.
In Eureka this study discloses that
the Eureka citizen pays the following
taxes:
For state purposes ................ 5.33 mills
For county purposes .......-....15.6 mills
For Eureka city government 270 mills
For Eureka schools ........22.0 mills
For general school .............. 60 mills
For county high school $500. 8.5 mills
This study shows that the Eureka
city government takes the highest toll
from the taxpayers with the schools
close second, both of them considerably
higher than the levy for county pur-
poses If Eureka has any improvement
such assessments are in addi- 1
ton to the foregoing.
The Troy taxpayer pays as follows
For state purposes .....s....... 5.33 mills
For county purposes -.... 156 mills
For Troy government $50 mills
For Troy city government ESQ mills
For general school ......... go mills
For county high school 49,. 8.5 mills
Here again one finds that city gov
eminent takes the heaviest levy against
the taxpayer, while the Troy school
expense is almost the same as that
paid by the Troy citizen toward coun-
ty expense As is true of the other two |
cities, If Troy has any improvement
districts they will call for levies in ad-
dition to the above.
Let's state it in another way. The
Libby citizen pays, for every hundred
dollars of taxable valuation, 53 cents
,or state purposes, S1.56 for county
purposes, s1.92 for city government
s1.15 for Libby schools, SO cents for
he general school fund and IS cents
or the county high school
The Eureka citizen pays, for every
hundred dollars of taxable valuation,
% cents for state purposes, $1.56 for
county purposes, s27o for city ex-
1enses, $3.50 for Eureka schools, 60
,ents for the general school fund and
IS cents for the county high school
Likewise the Troy citizen pays, for
very hundred dollars of his taxable
So cents for state purposes,
'1.56 for county purposes, $3.50 for
ity expenses, $1.54 for Troy schools,
70 cents for the general school fund
md IS cents for the county high school.

Ore At Midas
Mine Running
Rich in Tungsten
Carload Of Concentrates Would Carry
Value of $4,000, Says Jay
Graves. President.

When the Midas mine south Of +
by was under development several
years ago and modern mill built, it
was known that although the prop
erty was considered primarily gold
one, there were certain amounts of
tungsten in the ore Consequently
equipment to save the tungsten was
installed in the new mill.
Recently reports from Spokane are
to the effect that vein of ore has
been opened that carries high values
In tungsten. The Spokesman Review
quotes Jay P. Graves of that city, pres
ident of the company, in the following
article:
Tests of tungsten ore, found in the
gold mine of the Spokane Idaho Cop
per company (the Midas, 30 miles
southeast of Libby, Mont, confirm the
sensational quality claimed for it at the
time of the strike, two or three weeks
ago, according to reports made by Jay
P. Graves, president
The ore is a scheelite and lies on
the footwall Of a gold bearing sein
above the tunnel level" said Mr..
Graves yesterday. Samples containing
40 per cent tungsten have been raised
to more than II per cent by concen-
tration.
Besides tungsten, analysis revealed
l7,44O per cent lime, 1880 Of silica and
1880 OF phosphorus in the concentrate.
The lime may be eliminated, the silica
is desirable and the quantity OF sulphur
IS not sufficient to invite penalty, ii
is stated. No copper was found
Exceeds California Value.
The tungstic content Of the Spo
kane-Idaho product is greater than that
81 California, which is considered id,ai
and indicated by the government as all
example. The California scheelite con-
eentrate contained 66.58O per cent tung-
stem, 6.16O sulphur, .O07 arsenic, .o34
1912 lime and trace Of
copper
AT the current low prices for tunp-
stem, Acton lot of the 40 per cent
ore would have gross value Of $4,000
and the ~ per cent concentrate S28,8oO.
Also, part of the ore has so per cent
content, valued at $4,000 to a 40-ton
'arlot The high grades together are
loot wide and have been opened by
drift for IL feet.

Gold With Tungsten.

We can not expect great GUAM
tlty of the ore to have a high con-
tent but we can expect to find tung-
stem throughout the mine, as all Of
the ore contains tungsten that showed
1t was valuable product. The product
from many mines is of to per cent
content.
tungsten ore is not received by the
here, SO the company will not
oraW on its ore until it is ready to ship.
Gold is an important content of the
VEINS. The mine is opened by 1900 feet
of workings"
