HEAVY ASSESSMENTS.

The State Board of Equalization
has increased individual assess
ments throughout the State about
Is per cent. The highest assess
ments on the Central and Southern
Pacific Railroad is 400 per cent.
The highest assessments per mile
under the old system was 81, 900,
but it is now raised to $4,000 per
mile-the heaviest railroad taxation
in the world. The Board evident
ly put the assessment to the figures
that would induce the railroad com
pany to contest and keep the rev
enue out of the treasury. The
Board has the power of a Director.
1t may assess to any amount and
not notify the Company, and from
which there is no appeal.-Marys-

The Comet extension mine In
Silver City is owned jointly by
Messrs, Oest and Stidger. Stidger
leased his half of the property to
Oest, who after prospecting for sew
eral months, recently uncovered a
large deposit of goldbearins quartz
from which he extracted large
quantity of ore dssaying nearly 500
per ton. The ore was stored in the
same dump at the mine. Stidger,
it is alleged became enyious of his
partners luck, and on Friday night
took forcible possession of the
mine, ousting Oest and his en-
ployees. On Saturday night Oest
returned to the mine with force
of men armed with Winchester
rifles and drove Stidger and his re-
tainers from the ground, of which
he still holds possession. 1t is ru-
mored that Stldger would make an
attempt to regain possession of the
property with the aid of party Of
armed fighters.

FAIR WILL ZEE IN.

We believe it to be a positive fact
that James G. Fair will be candi-
date for reelection to the u. S.
Senate. The information comes
from the best of authority, and it
may be depended upon that all the
talk about Mr.. Fair not intending
to enter the ring is idle, and done
simply for the sake Of binding a
few people. Although Mr.. Fair is
no Statesman, nor even a faithful
servant, he is a very smooth poll
tician, and he has in bis power
many more Of the same kind Of peo-
pie. Not day passes bat some OF
Fairs henchmen are around pick
ing up points and sounding the
weak spots. They are gaining
ground, too. Fair has money
enough not to miss a few thousands
thrown away in the fght,and 1t IS
a well-known fact that money will
accomplish wonders in an election.
It is high time for the Republicans
to be stirring if they are DESTROYS
of success. There are seveal pro-
nounced candidates figuring around
now, but the true way is for the
whole party to stand in and pull to-
gether. Let there be no wrangling
in the matter and let them be sure
and put up the right man-ene who
has substantial backing also. Let
the smooth and oily Democrats get
their work in next Fall.-Lyon

Editor Colnon Of the Stockton
Mail has won another trick. The

some Cinnamon to fire bombs on

ANOTHER BLOW AT NE
VADA.

The Secretary Of War has is
sued orders that the main body of
the United States troops of the
Military Division of the Pacific
shall be concentrated at the Presi-
dio, San Francisco. Heretofore the
troops have been scattered at vari-
Gus points in Idaho, WASHINGTON
Territory, Nevada and other places
and their maintenance has in con-
sequence proven costly. By this
concentration the men can be
maintained at much cheaper rate
both by reason Of the nearness of
the San Francisco market and of
the ability to purchase supplies in
larger bulk. At present there is
no danger of outbreaks, and even
were there symptoms of uneasiness
the present celebrity of railroad
travel makes this city as desirable
Il location for the troops as could
be wished. General Pope, under
these instructions, Will quarter
about 1000 men at the Preside, in
addition to those already resi-
dents
This order will break up the
military camps of McDermitt,
Hallock aud Bidwell. The Admin
seems bound to punish
Nevada for its devotion to Blaine.

Burglary for a Ballot Box,

The desperate anxiety of counsel fol
the defense in the Auditor election con
test case, to postpone action, has beer
explained. After the adjournment OF
The justice court yesterday evening. it
was finally decided that Justice Roeder
should take charge of the Bridgeport
ballot box and Justice Jarrett should
hold the keys. Justice Roeder took the
ballot box to his Office, intending to lock
it up in bis cupboard. Late at night,
after thinking over the matter, he con-
cluded that he had better find safer
place for it, and be carried it to his
dwelling house and deposited it in his
bed room. Subsequent events proved
this to be very wise. for, at sometime in
the night his Office was raided by burg
lars, and all doors left standing open as
they were found this morning. The
burglars first attempted to pry the back
door of the Office open with steel bar
LETT on the premises. but failing in this,
they then pried the window shutter
open, broke pane of glass in the upper
sash. opened the sash lock, pried the
lower sash up with their steel bar, and
entered. They then prIed the door of
the cupboard open with their Jimmy"
but falling to find the ballot box, they
pulled the bolts of the front door and
went out shat way, leaving the door
standing open. In the cupboard there
we're several valuable books and other
articles, but none of these were disturb
ed, and nothing in the Office is missing
SO far as has yet been discovered. 1t is
evident that the ballot box was the
much coveted article the scOundrels
were after The extraordinary interest
manifested yesterday by a few well
know characters should give the police
a clue to the discovery of the burglars.
and if the clue is fully pressed. it will
result in Kidding the town at least of
their dead beat presence. 1t is known
that certain parties of this class have
been running about over the county
greatly interested in this contest case,
and it is safe to say they have been thus
for a purpose, and if it is pos
sible to steal or otherwise obtain ball
lot box anywhere in the county. they
will do so. and fix it to save their candi
