The Cape Mey County Board of Taxation last week completed the work of fixing tax rates and has returned the duplicate to theassesMore to be made up ami turned over to toe collectors on October 1, as legally req tiired. Hie rates are ax follows: Municipality 1906 Kate 1907 Rale Ocean City f1.83.93 fl.85 a Isle City 1.83.6 1.95 alon 2-21.3 221 North Wildwood 1.73.2 1.93 Wildwood 1.68.4 1.96 Holly Beach 204.9 210 Woodbine 2A2 246 'ape May City l.MUl 205 Mouth Cape May 271 2.77 Upper Township 1.34 1.42 Dennis Tow nship 1.43 1.44 MitJcJlC Township 1.81 U.7 Lower Tow nshlp 1.2. 1-39 Test Cape May 1.66.9 • 1.95 The state school tax required of the county this year is 21 per cent, of Uie •ment, being an Increase of more than loo per pent, over last year, Uie rate then being 10 per cent. The county tax has been Increased from 80 on the taxed value last year to !« per cent, this year. In Cape May City the local tax has been reduced from f1.593 to 81.51, and > far as (he reduction of local taxe* 'ape May City la concerned the law requiring* decrease of 6 cents each year has been compiled with, but In other inatten the County Board of Taxation has stretched a point In order to accomplish being technically within the l«w. The County Board of Aaaeaaore practically made no changes In the various duplicates submitted by the assessors of the county, and have not visited arioui localities as did the former Board of TaxaUon. 1 ha present board is taking an easy time of It and meet but very seldom. In the duplicate for Cape May City ubmilted by Assessor Gilbert C. Hughes, the only change which they made was In the mmmrocnt of Uie Cape May Real Estate Company, which they reduced from 8830,000 to 8656,440. The tax duplicate as presented by Mr. Hughes shows a total of f-4,656,400, and after deducting the amount taken off the assessment of the Cape May Real Estate Company It ex a total of 84,401,630. On this for city purposes, at the tax rate of 81 Al, there will be raised in taxes the total sum of 860,663-10; added to this amount the total number of polls which Is 8725.00 (about one half of hich are paid), will make the total amount which ought to be collected on the duplicate for 1907, 867,888.10. The appropriating ordinance for the present j-ear calls for an expenditureof moneys to be raised by taxation of 873,660.00, 'caving the city short in funds, if the total duplicate should be collected,

86.161.90.

In allowing the duplicate to be approved by which a shortage will be created, the county Board of Taxation is certainly short sighted and la falling do its duty in not sending back the duplicates and requiring the assessor to either increase the valuations of properties or else that body ought to have increased the rate r eentage which will produce the amount of tax meet the appropriations. It is understood that the county board has left all of the municipalities, with the exception of Woodbine, in about the shape, and that they will be abort in their appropriations should the fnll amounts be collected on the tax rati fixed by them.

(COKTIKCEU KHOM I.AST WKKK) Saturday morning we went lo the Tonopah mine office and presen'cd letter of introduction. Wo * gre in!reduced to s young man about 95, U general manager of the mill, lookgfis in his auto to the', mill where where w-e saw the wm king of the ore from the crushing of the rook to smelling The greater part of the ore is crushed or ground to a powder and after passing through the milling prois sacked and shipped to the American finishing ‘ o-, but some smelting Is done at Tonopah. The old process of milling used to w-aste eral thousand dollars a day, but now every panicle of bullion is saved and a* 1 unde ml and it the only smelting they do at Tonopah Is the smelting of the part which used to go «- them pan aeveral huts of bullion imd at each panning Urey got bar of bullion which weighed about 300 ounces. Maw- all this Malurday morning and afternoon. Saturday night they took utf through the Mizpab and Silver Top mines. Both mines are the property of the Tonopah Mining Company. I am not familiar enough to know or pkss an opinion on these mine*, to know how near they ary w orked out. They perlainly have taken an' awful lot of ore. ~ Be how they can take out much more unless they take everything in the mine regardless of ore of an thing els*, unless they go through to China. They are now down 900 feet and have levels running from the 900 feet shaft every two hundred feel. They must have great faith in three mines, because they are making Improvements at the mill. They should be paying dividends at present, because they are taking out more ore mill can handle, so they certainly should be paying if the ore is any good whatever, when a hundred stamp mill (a wprklpg «4> Ra full capacity. Tonopah is not a gold mining camp, don’t think there is a gold mine In the district. The Mixpah mine, which is the Tonopah Mining Company, Is a silver mine, ppd carries a very small of gold. Jim Butler Is not a a prospect to-day. If Mixpah is a good mine Jim Butler should be also, as they are pretty close together. Still that U no sign. We tba mill, Hip mine, and the town, so concluded the brel thing could do w-as to pull out for the moi ere we could hunt and fish to our hearts content. • o we gathered up our traps and started onourhoroeward Journey. We made the trip back to Hunter’s ranch over the aan in one day less time than when w-e went- It look us five days to go and four days to return. We camped at Hunter’s for a couple of days and then made tracks for the ras. We camped at Cotton Wood Meadows the first night after leaving Owen Valley, hot we had a day’s ride frome Hunter’s ranch,where we struck the mountain trail Just south of Mount Whitney. A little more about Owen’s Valley before leaving: Owen’s Lake is a Borax Lake. Here is where thetwenty mule team Borax originated. It is a beautiful lake from six to ten mllas wide and about twenty miles long. There it'aot a living thing in the lake. They say that sometimes ducks come and light In the lake and after remaining In the lake a couple at days their a then, all drop out. The Owens river la not much than a ditch, but alt 11 it carries quite a of water, full and plenty, for .ngelea. So they claim Los Angeles has bought up almost all the In Owen's Valley that have water rights, but I notice by the 'Frisco papers that people of Owen’s Valley and Ingereol Valley, are going to make a big fight so Los Angeles may not gal the water after all. Owens rtv*r is not so large as Cape Island

Creek.
