worth of property in tho township of
Oryntnl Falls, city of CrvHtal Ta!.
townships of Mastodon and MatisuVld
will go on tho rolln at iU true canli value
an far un tho aHrteKsiri ofllcer is uhlo to
discern." -Tho visit of Attorney 11. (!.
Flannian to this city has had ns much
to do with putting these values up as
any tiling else. Mr. Flaunigan didn't
come hero for that ptirposo hut ho had
talks with Hcvcral of tho Hiijef vis Dia and
with the representative of the mining
companies and he told them his idea of
what he thought hIiouM hi done, what
tho Hupervis)js aro doing in Diekinson
county - and added that it was his
opinion that if tho nupervisorn of thi,
county didn't do hkewiso they would
hear Homethiug drop' r. Flannigau
is attorney for almost all of tho. mining
companies and ho gavo them agood,
Htiff talk, with the tesult of getting their
approval r of the V'dsiug" pioposi-
tion and tlien tho thing was easy, A
conference of Hovcrul HUpervisorH was
held in this city Tuestlay, evening nnd a
mh'ih of action arrived at and as a
result at least $1,000,000 will ho added
to the valuation" of Iron county this
year.
Prosecuting Attorney llyers was pres
ent at the confereiiee of supervisors and
ho gave them his opinion right from the
shoulder and told them that ho pro
posed to visit every bo. inl of review in
the county nnd advise the raising of the
property to its true cash value and to
have that advice appear upon the
records of the meeting as he wished to
have it clearly understood that he in
tends to oliey the law. This will no
ilouht hring up the value on the west
nide of the county as Mr. flyers naid
that he would acquaint the hiitervisors
over there with iho action 01 the easi
side inc. i.
Tho values in this city will he, on an
average, three times what they were last
year and the values ol the mines, ahout
four times that of last year with their
IK-rsonal property added. This increase
in value will raise tho total valuation of
this city from $IK(,00() to ahout $.10oY
000 and will reduce the rate ot taxation
from Keven cr cent to ahout three. This
raiso in value makes no difference in tho
amount of taxes to 1m paid as tho rate
will 1h ho much lower throughout the
county.
Wild lauds that have Inen assed at
from $ 1. 00 to ?."()( will go up to from
Sit. 00 to $20.00. In assessing these
lands the supervisors will act upon the
advice of tho attorney general and take
into consideration the mineral light that
all of these companies reserve. None of
tho large concerns will p.irt with the
mineral right upon their lands under any
consideration. Tho timlier or Hiiiface
value on some ot these lands is nothing
but the mineral right is and that will he
taxed ia Iron county in the future.
It is a grand, good thing ami if the
Tax Commission does nothing else it is
to he congratulated upon tho raising ol
values in this county.

Tho Masonic Templo.
While ut Crystal Tails AVdnesday
evening we wero hhown throtigh the
second nloty of the new Temple building,
which occupies the Kite of Douccl's old

Dandy's olliee. The main portion of
the Moor, 'however, is undr lease to the
Masonic so( iety, and brings the snug
sum of $."()() 'a year. Tho hall proper
occupies the rear half of tho floor, tho
dining room, parlor, kitchen, etc., Ieing
in front. This hall irt said to IsJ one ol
tho !est furnished and l't ; arranged

Kverything in and about the Kveral

man and throws and fields well.
iv. is little work to be done in tl.
field on account of the high wind
was blowing. However, it is in this
ritory that Crystal Falls is weakest a
with a touching up on the outer ed,
and tho filling up of a few holes in tlu
stick work the team would be a formid
able one to run up against.
Iron Kiver played practically the same
men that held the sints tho week lief ore
but they played a much speedier game.
Tho men average a shade lighter than
the city chaps but work the stick with
truer eyes. Kehr and Michaels, the
pony battery, is all right, but too light
to run a game out. Their work for six
innings was all that could ho expected.
Michaels is a little slow in getting the
ball t o tiiCond but catches a faultier
game.
Tlio gatao hhould have lieen four for
Crywtal Falls and one for Iron Ihvcr,
those figuies representing tho number of
earned run that were pulled out. All
the other scores wero based upon error.
The game stai ted with Crystal Falls
at the bat. The farmer boys wero in a
hurry to get home to milk so they re
tired the dude in a one, two, three
order. There was blood in the
eyes' of the agriculturalist when they
came in and they succeeded in pulling
out one run through an error in the im
field work ot tho home team. Other
runs loomed up in the distance but
never materialized, tho score standing
1 to 0 for Iron Kiver ut tho end of this
inning. When the city crowd took the
held again some thoughtful Miner
turned on the air and for tho next six
inning second base svah a stranger to
the boy from tho west hide of Olid Del
geino'rt line, the only response to their
effort to get there being the long drawn
out w-h-i h of tiieir club n they
lunged in vain at the deceptive nphere.
Tho fifth and sixth inning were pro
ductive of four run for tho dudes, all
ol them earned. The boy had their
range-finder out and were touching up
K hr quite frupieutly. At the In-ginning
of the seventh the farmer lad swapped
horses, placing Kothio to do the can
nonadiug ami I'eis at tho receiving end.
This proved to be a very nun ise move
for Iron Kiver as the team went com
pletely' to pieces. Kothio was wild and
sent two men to bases on balls and I'.ei
evidently forget hi apron a pas balls
were for a time the rule rather than tho
exception. Jhc fielding was rawged for
there wero no teal afo hits
made. None of the fielder seemed to be
able to stop or throw a ball and a a
result the dudes placed eight, f it run to
their credit. This ended the run getting
until the last half of the ninth. Michaels
succeeded, Kothio in the box nnd the
farmer boys pulled themselves together
and held their opponents level. At the
beginning of the ninth the scene stood 12
to 1 in favor of Crystal Falls, 1! very one
