The County Debt and How it was Created


EDrToKs 1SDEPESDEsr:-I see that your
editorial statements Of the condition of the
finances of Elko county are fully sustained by
the report of the County Auditor. II will be
seen that the report gives the entire debt at
over $40, COO; but it will be claimed that it is
unfair to include the courthouse debt and
the Lander county debt in the real indebted.
ness of the county. I will, therefore, leave
them out; and we then have an outstanding in
debtedness of over S53, 900, to which may and
should be added the expense of the last term
of court for the month Of June, which, with
other expenses, will increase the debt proper
to 100000. SIXTY thousand dollars more than
the revenue received from all sources is the
sum chargeable to Radical rule in Elko county
for one year.
Now, i. as a citizen of Elko county. am
curious to know how and for what such enor-
nous OUTLAWS Of the peoples money have
been expended. have made inquiries, but
as yet have learned but little, save that the
entire revenue OF last year has been expended

judge in less than half the time it now takes.

Placer ninss BIZ the Aa..


Placer miners hate o new field Of spec
ulatioA oPsSed = them By the passage Of the
amendne,k to he Congressional mining act,
which was approved few days ago. This
amendment opens all the placer mining dis
tricts to entry. as in the case of agricultural
lands, on the same conditions as are provided
for quartz claims. Claims can be entered for
tracts ysryingin size from ten to one hmm
dred and sixty acres. In the case Of surveyed
lands. the entry in The extreme limit shall
conform to the legal subdivisions of the public
lands, to be paid for at the rate of - 80 per
acre. Parties owning contiguous tracts may
make joint entries. every location being linn
tied to l6O acres. When parties shall have
held their claims the time prescribed by the
statute of limitations they shall be entitled to
patent. The general provisions heretofore
in force in regard to obtaining title to quartz
lodges are made applicable to placer mines.
Registers and receivers receive the same
fees as IN quartz cases The act repeals that
portion Of the act of 1853 which provides that
none other than township lines shall be sur
veyed where the lands are mineral The sur
veys are now extended over all such lands. but
subdivisions may be made at the expense of
the claimant, but waste lands need not be sur
yeyed. All patents for claims shall be subject
to prior rights to water, bitches. etc. ''
This bill is not of grsa; importance in the
State Of Nevada, except in Elko county; but
in the Territories to the north and in some
parts Of Arizona it will materially affect the
pOPuiatipu nod prospects of the mining oom-
munities- 1t Is an experiment, which will re-
quire some time to demonstrate It's effects.
Like most Of the legislation of the present
period il operates in favor of monopolies and
interpretations Of great wealth and scope
Mineral lands now Of little value will be
taken up under the this act, and held in large
quantities by location and purchase. The
patent is the hest Of titles, and will secure
the property to the owner and his heirs with
out constant personal presence and represen-
tation, which now are n source OF ve1ation
and expense. Having once obtained the pat
emit, the owner can wait until the changes OF
time, and decreased expense Of working. will
authorize him TO make it productive. In our
opinion 1t will have a ruinous effect upon
placer mining il general. Capitalists will
soon be in possession Of most of the ground
of any value. and they will develop their
claims by the cheapest means, either by
Chinese labor now. or by cheap labor Of any
kind in the years to come.
There are extensive tracts of mineral lands
in the north, particularly in Montana and
Idaho, which will be sought for by specula-
tors under this act. Much of this land is
good to hold to, il not TO work. Fifty
or one hundred years from now these tracts
will be considered valuable at - 50 per acre.

The Snake River Mine.

The Utah Reporter of Sunday contains a
long and interesting letter from a correspon-
dent on Snake river. This letter seems to be
written in spirit Of trnth and fairness. con-
trasting strongly with most of the exaggera-
tons coming from that quarter.
The best diggings, according to this CORES
pendent, lie between the Overland or Clark s
Ferry and point Is miles above, at Dry
creek. This portion of the river was first
worked, and is better prospected than any
above or below. Within these bounds there
are about 400 men, two-thirds Of whom have
claims, some by location, others by purchase.
Until the water falls, the value of these claims
can not be determined. The river is now
down about two feet, and will probably con-
hnue to decline until October. But few men
have been able to do any work this Summer.
About the first Of August it is thought labor
will become general.
The 10th Of July was the time fixed by the
laws Of the district for all claims 10 be repro
sented. Work can be prosecuted on most of the
claims from the middle Of August to the mid.
die OF December and last Winter was contip
ued by some all the season. Complaint Is
oil the clams-300 feet, and there is talk
OF cutting them down one-third. The
road to Snake river from Corinne is said
to be hard, free from dust, and nearly
level oil tho way. As yet little hiring has
been done on tho river; but when II falls labor
will DO in demand at 81 per day, Iaborers and

The COUNTY DEBr.-The quarterly report
Of the County Auditor, Of July 9th, fully cor
roberates our charges relative to the enormous
debt OF Elko county, accrued during the past
year. II appears that the amount Of the req
isseTed claims against the county, less the
amount Of cash in the treasury, is $50, 800 ~.
and that the amount of that cash is Sc, EOS 40.
Ninety.six thousand dollars to pay, and six
thousand to pay with. This is only the Au-
dited amount. 1t does not include many heavy
bills incurred during the past six weeks, which
have yet to be acted upon by the Board of
Commissioners. When these are presented at
the present term of the Board, the amount for
which Elko county is liable up to July LIST.
will be found TO be fully one hundred thou.
aand dollars. The attention Of tax PAYERS is
directed to q communication in this days pa
per on this subject. They will find there an
allusion TO some of the causes which have
brought about this extraordinary condition of
affairs Jurors who have drawn n little scrip
will soon understand why they can get COM
paratively nothing for it. ~ ..-.

WAR IN EURorE.-The hitherto peaceful
skies Of Europe have suddenly assumed por.
tentious aspect. Louis Napoleon objects TO
Gan. Prim's proposal to install Leopold Of
Hohenzollern, King of Spain. He accuses
Bismark Of putting up job" on him. Prus-
sin and France are preparing for war, which
is likely to nlso cmbroil Spain and Austria,

reigning family Of Prussia, whose growing
power is objected to by France. Great ex.

A ADELIDERATE MURDER In the neigh
borhood of Mt. Willing, near the resi-
dence of Mr.. Joel Minick, there took
place, on the Goth inst, q murder so cool,
so deliberate, sto strike the hearer with
equal amazement and horror. The actors
in this tragedy we're Robert Mack, Dick
Pope, and Frank Means, all negroes, and
oil in the employ of Mr.. Mfinick. Mack
and Pope borrowed plow line, coolly
seized Means, tied him, took him from
the yard short distance up the road.
bound him to persimmon tree, and shot
him five times, until their deed was COM
plete. Mack and Pope have been arrest.
ed by the constabulary, and lodged in
jail at this place. They speak very coolly
of the matter, and give as their reason
for numbering this man, than he was q
disturber of religious and other meet
ings, in consequence of which they felt
it incumbent upon them to rid tho COM
munity of such nuisance.
