PAYING DOUBLE TAXES. -Mr. Liddle, Of
Cave Valley, is under the painful neces-
sity Of paying double taxes on his band
of sheep. The Assessor of White Pine
county assessed the sheep in that county,
where they were at the time he made his
rounds. Liddle recently purchased a
ranch in Cave Valley, and had the sheep
driven there. Assessor Hoffman arrived
at the ranch the same day the sheep did,
and as Mr.. Liddle was absent, and Mr..
Hoffman being unaware Of the sheep hav-
ing been assessed in the adjoining county,
he reassessed them. Through the negli-
gence of man, Liddle did not appear be-
fore the Board of Equalization and have
the mistake corrected, so is compelled to
pay taxes in both counties on the sheep.
He says cts hell" and we quite agree
with him.
DAY CoMpANY.--Our gleanings from.
Supt. Gould's letters of the past week
show that the workings of the Day,
Mendha and Centennial, are of most
encouraging characters A very fine
streak Of soft carbonate was struck in
the Day, night before last, on the bottom
of the main incline shaft-620- foot level.
Assays of this new find run over 5000.

ore on the dump. About so tons as
sorted for shipment. The Mendha is
looking excellent in the west working;
selected pieces of the ore going as high
as $500. The furnace continues to pro-
duce bullion, latterly, of unusually high
grade, and runs without the least diff.

SOME of our county officials exhibit great
anxiety in regard to the payment of tax
money. If they took as great interest in
the performance of their duties as they
do in the collection of their salaries, we
would have very efficient county offici-
ais. We know of but one way to punish
these fellows. That is for the taxpayers
to defer the payment of taxes to the very
last moment, and pay the additional pen
atty of ten per cent, thus keeping their
salaries from them as long as possible.
Such action would be kind of binding on
the taxpayers pockets, but what Of that
These fellows, by all means, should be
punished.
Mr.. A. B. O'DoUGHERTy, counselor at
law, and one Of our old residents, will
take his departure from Phoebe on Sun
days stage. After leaving here he will
proceed to Arizona, where he will meet
his brother John, then both gentleman
will proceed to New Mexico. We feel
assured that the New Mexican ladies will
extend to him a hearty welcome and re-
ceive him with opened arms, for he is a
very handsome youth.
