ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER 27 1900-

LE ROI MINE GASE

Gold Commissioner Kirkup
on the Witness Stand.

“STORY OF ASSESSMENT

How He Arrived at the Conclsulon
That Returns Were In-
adequate.

The hearing of the Le Roi mine
case now pending was resumed at
11o’clock this forenoon before. Mr.:
Keen, the only witness examined
being Commissioner Kirkup who
gave an account of the returns that,
had been made, and the corr es-
pondence that had resulted.

Mr. Kirkup testified that he had
received returns from the Le Roi
management, but had not pased his
assessment on these returns. . He
had wiitten to the department with
reference to the matter, and his let-
ter of July 24, 1900, was placed in
evidence, calling attention to the
fact that a shipment of 38,665 tons
had shown a value of only 62 or 63
cents net, the explanation. being
the heavy shipping and -smelting
charges,

In making up the assessment Mr;
Kirkup admitted that he had. oot
entered or examined the Le Roi
mine, nor had he examined the
books of the company. He had
based his assessment chiefly on the

_ valuation and shipments of. the
Previous year, when the total
amount, as given by Mr, Macdon-
ald was 92,500 tons, with a value
of $1,250,000 gross. He had not
inquired whether this was wet. or
dry weight, nor had he made any
investigation as to whether the
value given was the market, value
or'the value of the mine. He ad
based his action wholly on heursay
evidence. “He had not inquired as
to the nature or terms of the: cdn~
tract with the smelter. Neither
was he informed as to* the metallic
conte nts of the ore. In a confiden-
tial letter had heen informed that
the charge for freight and treatment
was $6,

At the afternoon session yester-
day William Thompson, as assist-
ant general manager of the Le Roi
Minmg company, testified as to ore
. Shipments: that he checked all fig-
ures before they were turned over
to Mr, Curry, the figures bejng
taken from the smelter returns, The
shipments amounted to 38,665 tons
dry. When Mr. Curry had been
s2nt to the assessor’s office he had
returned and reported to _Witness
that the amount tendered was said
to be insufficient. He had then
checked over the figures and found
them correct, in accordance with
his understanding ol the law. These
figures were then sworn to by Mr.
Curry, Witness testiffed as to the
deficiency lots, showing how. they
were arrived at. Mr. Kirkup had

not examined either the mine or the
books, and how he had arrived at
the gross value witness had.no idea,
