Valuation of Minnesota iron mines raised to sixty million
The Minnesota iron mining properties in St Louis County are set at 60 million dollars for the 1906 tax rolls, up from 38 million. Officials and mining interests reached a basis of valuation and the state board may approve the county’s raise. The agreement involves Frank Kellogg and Governor Johnson, expecting a substantial boost to taxes for county state and school funds. The move marks a large 58 percent increase in assessed value.
