EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
THURSDAY, JULY IL, 1877.
BAlK y ~


Mr.. District Attorney Drake, Of
Storey county, has discovered that the
principal Comstock mining companies,
exclusive OF the b~onsnzas, owe in
back taxes nearly a million dollars.
Under the law, prior to 1875, the mines
Of Storey county paid only twenty
five cents OIL each one hundred dollars
worth OF bullion extracted, for local
purposes. Al that session of the Leg
islature the law was so amended as to
tax bullion in Storey up to the same
figures levied on all other classes OF
property for State, county, municipal
and railroad purposes. And right
here Is where all the rumpus about
the tax on bullion started. Sharon,
Jones ct al, while they controlled
producing mines, bad been getting off
for TIE nominal sum of twenty-five
cents on the one hundred dollars.
When the law was changed to admit
of q levy of from three to four per
cent, the bonanzas squirmed and pro-
tested that they were moi getting a fair
deal. Sharon did not contribute q
dime from the product of his mines
toward the redemption of the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad bonds, which he
himself owned, and the road as well.
And so it came to pas that, when the
Assessor called upon the owners OF the
present productive mines to assist in
the liquidation OF these bonds, in ad-
dition to all the other increased per-
centages designated above, they felt
that q gross injustice was being done
them, that they were not being treated
as other mine owners before them had
been treated, and they refused to pay
any tax whatever, and went to the
courts for an equitable adjustment of
the question. This is the true history
of the origin of all the hubbub that has
since grown out of the subject of a tax
on bullion. Not a ton of ore nor a
single dollars worth of bullion should
be allowed to escape taxation, but it is
true that there are inequalities in The
mode Of levying this tax which deserve
TO be remedied. Attorney Drake may
be able to collect the back taxes for
which he proposes to institute suit,
and we hope he may, but the under
taking seems hopeless in the face of the
law as it stood for Storey county prior
10 1875.

THE BOARD.

There is still much excitement in
Louisiana regarding the indictment of
the Returning Board. Governor
Nichols adheres to his determination
to p I'd IN the members thereof in the
event of conviction. This being the
case, nothing will come of the present
agitation. No matter how revolving a
conspiracy ia developed, nothing can
now be done to overthrow either
Hayes or Nichols. We would not
wish to see any effort in that direction
succeed. The country is weary of po-
litical excitement, and it were better
for every character Of business that
matters be allowed to o along as
at present ordered. But q vast MAORI
ty OF the people Of the United States
ARE curious to know just how much
treachery was brought into requisition
in the Louisiana swindle and who are
the responsible parties. or course we
all have a vague idea that, through
Stanley Mathews and Foster, Hayes
bartered the principles Of his party for
the Presidency; that Senator Gordon
and Ben. Hill traded off Tilden and his
25O, 900 popular majority for the with
drawal OF the troops and home rule in
South Carolina and Louisiana; but
none Of us have seen the written stip-
ulation, and we all feel q little anxious
about the details Of the transaction.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Little Roy Almost Burned to
Death I'm the Woods.

From Netf's Siding comes the harrow
and blood-curdling intelligence OF the
death of a boy a. that place by the fire.
fiend. From what we can learn Of the
sad affair, it seems that on Wednesday
afternoon, Thomas A. Neff, hoy 16
years old, son of Mr., Conrad Neff, resi-
ding at the place abeve mentioned, left
his home and went out into the forests
to hunt He took with him an old flint
lock musket and powder flask filled with
rock powder. In some inexplicable
manner unknown to any one, the pow
der in the flask became ignited, and the
flask exploded, setting the boys clothes
on fire The boy Immediately started
on run for small stream Of water
about a quarter Of mile distant, and
throwing himself into the stream extin'
guished the flames. Having extinguish-
ed the flames, he crawled out Of the wa
ter aud started for home, but becoming
bewildered and blinded with pain, could
not find his way back to his fathers
house. For some hours he wandered
about in this way, but was finally found
by his uncle, on whose farm he was hun
ting. almost in nude state, his body
blackened and charred, and the flesh
hanging in shreds from his limbs. The
boys uncle did not at first recognize
him, but on his speaking to him, and
telling his uucle of the accident, he rec
ognized his voice and took him home,
where he die6 yesterday morning in
great agony, despite the efforts of the
physicians to save his life The parents
of the boy have but one child left them,
twin sister of the deceased, and accor-
dinghy feel his loss deeply.
