( Special1. ) In his upeech last Monday night State Treasurer Mascrvo made many questionable state ments , among them being the declaration , < that "the delinquent tax list of thu state Is of no parlcular value and most of It will novcr tr collected. " Thoie who heard the nptcch have concluded that If Mr. Meservo's financial management of his olflce Is on a par with his Ideas on the delinquent tax question It will behoove the taxpayers to keep a cloeo watch of the state treasury , An examination of the annual statomenlH of county treasurers , filed In the state auditor's office and upon which the settlements are made , shows that the colrectloti of taxes that arc more than one year delinquent Is n large source of revenue to the state and that the Interest on delinquent taxes also runs tip to n large amount every year. Thu showing of the seven counties In the First congressional district gives a very fair average of the counties In the cast end of the Btate , although they aru In a lo cality that has never hail a total crop fail ure and the difference In the payments for the years 1896 and lf > 97 arc not as marked ns It would bo In the counties farther \u-st. In compiling the figures for the First dis U trict the .axes counted In the list are those i i that Kfe over a year delinquent. To Illus trate IllPhardfon rou.ity paid taxes In the elate In the year 1S97 amounting to $21- 206.01. Of this $20,588.01 was of the levy of I..5G , anil part of this item being delin quent. Another Itsm of J94.C2 was from the ToVy of 1897. Deducting those t\\o fron ? the > / totrl payment leaves J.124.01 that came In 1 from the delinquent list prior to 1S96.

The figures above indicate the amount paid the stole by these counties , nnd do not show the larger share that IB kept at homo by each to help In running the local expenses. A division of the Items shown above Is ns follows : 1SD3 , 1896 Delinquent tax paid J19Goi.l9 : J10.MO 16 Interest paid 5,713.26 3.9DG " Sonic of It Korty.

The men In thcso counties vvho have paid up taxes that have been running for forty years will dispute the assertion of Treasurer Meservo that "tho delinquent list Is worthless. " The delin quent list In the First district was worth nlmost twice as much In 1897 as It was In 1896 , as a money producer , and the pay ments from the old list are coming In faster than ever tn 1898. It Is due to the prompt payment of all kinds of taxes that Meservo is able to make his loud claims of a "re juvenated tresury , " and the taxpayers are resenting his attempt to bellttlo their share In the good work.

DEFENSE HAS HEARING AT COURT-MARTIAL One Wltnpnw Who lleltril I'nmottn life * ttlrr An erU that Itrfrrrnvrn In Iloli" livniiH Were Merely llumorotin , DENVER. Sept. 2ft. When the court- martial trial of Itcv. Joseph I1. Mclutyre , chaplain of the battleship OroRon , was re sumed this morning , Henry M. Courier was called by the prosecution. He practically reiterated the testimony of previous wit nesses that Chaplain Mclntyre In his lec ture on August 8 charged Admiral Samp son with reporting hltnself within the four- mile limit at the time of the capluru of the Spanish ship Colon , when he was In reality eight or ten miles distant. Hi * also cor roborated statements of other wltnesipc re garding the alleged contemptuous allusions of the chnplnln to Captain Kvr.ns nf the lown as "Fighting Bob , " nnd the statement that the Oregon was the only battleship that was honestly built , contracts for all eastern built vessels being secured through political pulls. After fL1" testimony of Mr. Courier was finished Judge Advocnte Laurhelraer an- i ounced that the prosecution had closed , Attorney Craneton for the defense then placed J. U. Sohermorhorn , state senator , who heard Chaplain Mclntyie's lecture , on the stand. He tfbtlflcd that the chaplain said that the Oregon was one of the beat ships nlloat ami that the eastern shipbuild ers , through their political Influence , had been able to secure contracts from iho gov ernment nnd having no competition had no ! bt > on careful In constructing vessels. The Oregon. being thefirst one built by a western contractor , received spe cial attention In its construction. He her.r-1 no charges of dishonesty in building ships. Tbe chaplain , witness said , asserted that nt ho beginning of the battle the Oregon was Ive miles from the Spanish ships and the Iowa about three miles. The Oregon nt once started for the Spanish vessels and met the Iowa going the other way. He heard noth- ng about the lown going to the rear. The chaplain referred to Captain Evans n ? 'Fighting neb , " but there was no manner ndlcatlng contempt. Ths audience laughed when such allusions were made. Witness testified that the chaplain said that when thu battle began Admiral Samp son's tlarshlp , the New York , was eleven miles away , but during the fight It came up t-.o that at the surrender of the Colon It was within signal distance , which , ho ex plained , was within four miles , and that It was PO reported. The chaplain did not state that the admiral reported himself within the four-mile limit. Witness said he believed the chaplain said something to the effect that the audience was as much entitled to prize money as Admiral Sampson. Think * ( lip Clinplnlii Wn III. Senator Schermerhorn , on cross-examlna tlon. stated that ht had known Chaplain Mclntyre for several years and regarded him as a personal friend. lie was of the opin ion that Chaplain Mclntyre was ill at the time of the lecture nnd that he should have been more explicit In some of his state ments. Joshua Wilson , a dry goods salesman , tes tified that Chaplr.ln Mclntyre stated that the materials nnd workmanship In the co-i structlon of the Oregon were the best , whils those In eastern built vessels were- Inferior because the contracts were'secured througl political Inllucnce' He hcj'rd. nothing about the government bclnr. cheated. Witness re- merabcrfd that Chaplain Mclntyre said thai when the Oregon went Into the fight It met the Iowa , with "Fighting Hob" on board going the other way. There WIH nothing said about Captain Evans taking the Iowa to tbo rear and keeping It there. The manner o the chaplain In referring to Captain Evans as "Fighting Hob" was humorous. Judge E. N. Honflls , a newspaper editor testified that Chaplain Melntyro stated tha for twenty years the Union Iron works in San Francisco had been trying to obtain contracts for the construction of war ships but owlne to the Influences that eastern manufacturers had with the Eovernmcn they had been unsuccessful. Finally , when there were more vessels to build than th eastern manufacturers could handle , th San Francisco company received a contract The company spared no pains to make th Oregon the best ship ever built. Regarding the battle Judge Honflls quotei Chaplain Mclntyre as eaylng that as th Oregon was going In It passed the low nnd adding In n humorous way , "And wher was 'Fighting Bob Evans ? ' " Chaplain Mclntyre , the witness continued said something about the division of priz money , naming ftO.OOO as the amount to g to Admiral Sampson and J500 to Captal Clark , but there was nothing said abou the audlcnca being entitled to as much a Sampson. Witness declared the report pub llshed In the Rocky Mountain News , upon which the charges against the chaplain ar largely based , to bo decidedly unjust to th chaplain. Ho denied Its correctness In man points. Judge Donflls was still on the stand who the court adjourned for the day. ooou iMiici : FOH MINES Mountain Clnlnm nt Domlvrood Arc li Demand \ < MV. DEADWOOD , Sept. 29. ( Special. ) Quit an Important mining deal , and one Involv Ing the exchange of a considerable sum o money , was made In the Baldwin Mountain country last week , when Ernest May of Lead purchased the three mining claims usually known as the Hulst & Price property e.m In which 'tho ' Hulst & Price assets held a third Interest. The price paid was $7,500 The three claims He on the northeast slope of Terry's Peak , on the Fantall gulch sld of tha slope , and are designated as Hobo Queen , the Vogo and the Tin Pie , all lying near aud partly adjoining the Ben Hur which Is being worked from the Nevada gulch Blilo and Is causing something of an excHement by the remarkably rich ore I Is producing. Three deeds , transferring th property , were filed In the register of deed's olllco In this city Saturday , one being from Alex Patterson , one from Louisa Collins am tbo third from Fred II. Rugg , as receiver for the Hulst & Price company , and the HulRt & Price company , a corporation , each of them to Ernest May , conveying a third Interest In the three claims and the price pa 111 In each case being $2,500 , U IB alto gather likely that Mr. May's attention was called to the ground owing to Its desirable locality and to the fact that ho recognizec In It a valuable proposition. Mining men who have made a careful sur vey of the Ben Hur workings and the rela- tlvn locality of the ground Mr. May has just purchased , say there Is little question but that the same vein reaches across both properties. It Mviiril Ofleri'U for Murderer , PIERRE , S. D. , Sept. 29.

( Special. ) The people of Montana are golne to have another railroad before a great many months , It will probably leave Bozeman or some point not far from th.it city , and pro ofed up the canyon to the Yellowstone park. The road will be about 100 miles long and ts terminus will be In the petrified forests on the borders of the park. Surveyors arc low at work , and If cold weather does not i revont It , work will be done this fall on j he right of way. At any rate , work will > egln early In the spring , and the road lushed rapidly to completion. The promoters meters of the enterprise are Senator fleorg * nd Colonel W. W. 11. Turner of Spokane , nd Frank Hall of Bozemnn , nnd the money o build the Yellowstone Park railroad will furnished by three men , each of whom am ft third of the stock. The railroad will tap one of the richest coal mining ills- rlcls In the west , nnd will have other ottrces of traffic. It is believed that the edces of asbestos known to exist on the Ine of the proposed road can be worked rofltnbly with the transportation facilities about to be provided.
