vada. Sir In compliance with

lature If 1879, relative to your du-
tics and the County Assessors of
the State. I give MY report for the
years 1854
PERSONAL PROPERTY.
You will ascertain bv booking at
my report Of 1882 made to your
predecessor. Hon. A. J Hatch. that
the valne of property in this conn
tv was five per cent. less in 1881
| than IN 1880. and fourteen per cent
Jess in 1889 than in 1880. aud that
| then stated the causes Of the re-
2uction in the value was the de-
probation in real estate. the re-
moyal Of personal property from
the county, and the ninety per
cent loss of the bullion product.
Since that report there has been no
derreciatinn Of valne in reality, or
any notable changes in person ]
pronerty. No revenue has been re-
ccivrd by tax on bullion. The
business pursuits Ct the county
have not been as active as they
were in the early and flush periods,
but they have been steady and re-
liable. encouraged by additional in
lustries. some of which are worthy
of mention.

Within the two years Just clos

portant benefits to this section ar
Using from this new enterprise is

Several extra fine business
houses have been built during the
last Summer and Fall. and old ones
remodcled and repaired, testifying
to the fact that men of means haye

The Virginia & Truckee Rail
road shops and foundry have had
added to their several departments
such increased facilities as enable
them to turn out all kinds of ma
chine,y with accom- ailments as
are usually furnished in similar
machine shops and foundries, and
the work now performed in them
beyond that which is demanded for
railroad purposes. assists very
much to keep the operators stead |
lily employed.

The Improvements and additions
given to the Warm Springs, enc
and one-half miles North of Car
