Public notice on Tilden mine valuation dispute in Bessemer
Six members of Bessemer board of review publish a full communication to the tax commission outlining why the Tilden mine valuation should be higher than state figures. They argue the Hamilton report is partial, cite extensive ore prospects, and note the Palms ore body extends into Tilden. They propose a value near 5000000 if needed to satisfy taxpayers.

Bessemer Protest Over Tilden Mine Valuation Seeks Fair Review
A Bessemer Michigan board of review petitions the State Tax Commission in Lansing to uphold the Tilden mine valuation at existing levels. They argue the mine sits within a continuous iron ore belt, with depths increasing northward and nearby deposits supporting city prosperity. They warn a $150 000 valuation would imply depletion, causing a 50 percent drop in city property values and harm local revenues.
