Mining Improvements Assessed Separately for Tax
Helena reports that the Lewis and Clark board of county commissioners and Attorney General Galen ruled that mining property improvements such as machinery and new buildings must be assessed separately from mining use and listed on the tax rolls like other property. The Bald Butte company had protested an assessment done in that manner. A separate note mentions a civil suit in which Mrs. Harry Downs sues Charles Gabisch for 110 dollars plus 75 dollars exemplary damages over a poker loss at Gabisch saloon.
