Climax MoIybdenum
Settles Tax Suit
For S212,500
County Agrees to Cancel
Certificate VoIued
AT About S324, 900
e, tire Associated Press.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Aug. IA
settlement of 1889 tax claims against
the Climax Molybdenum Co. for
S212,500 was approved today by Dis
trict Judge william H. Luby.
The company, the worlds largest
producer of the steel-toughening
metal, agreed to make the settle
ment upon condition that a tax
certificate, which had value of
approximately $324.00O, be Cancelled.
The stipulation was agreed to by
the Lake County Board of Commits
sioners, the Colorado Tax Commis-
sion and the Climax company.
The mining firm had refused to
pay 1889 taxes on the grounds an
increase in its assessed valuation
from S4.000,000 to $16.000000 was
illegal and excessive. The 1880 taxes
amounted to $265 900, and with PEN
alties the amount was $293 900 at
the time the tax certificate was is
sued.
Some new basis for assessing the
Climax property is expected to be
the next step in settling the ex-
tended tax controversy.
