BULLION Ian
,owsnaners that take great interest in
m;,inc and stock speculation express
themselves as being considerably mysti-
6ed in regard to the bullion tax OF this
county. They all agree that some OF our
mins, make fair shipments in bullion,
hut think i. strange that their tax is such
mammal sum. One OF the commits
s;opers intimatsd to us the other even
inc that there were several mines in
this county that did not pay their full
scount of bullion tax. This does In
,ieed look strange. A County Commits
sionsr admits that he is aware OF the fact
th.t several mining companies in Lin
coin ara defrauding the State out OF
revenue Justly due it. yet he does moth
ing to check the mining companies
in their swindliBg game. The County
Commissioners were elected to NIL the
nosition of honor and trust which they
now occupy because they bore the rspu-
tation Of being high-mindsd. honest and
honorable gentlemen, and would do JUS
tics to all, and it is to be hoped that the
nnblic will not be deceived in any OF
thsm. It is to be hoped that the Com
missioners will look into and sift this
matter thoroughly, and if several mining
companies are found guilty OF defrauding
the State and county, then it becomes the
duty of the Commissioners to put step,
At onos. TO the swindle. The mining
companies ought to be made pay every
cent of the tax due from them; nothing
more, but nothing less. "Let no guilty
