the County of Lincoln, by Rose Myers against
you said David Myers to obtain decree of alb.

failure to provide the common necesssries of
life for your said wife and child for more than
one year last past. and that application for

Attend to 10.

Tomorrow is the day on which we
must show cause at Carson before the
State Board of Equalization, ifany we have
why the assessment roll of this county as
sent in by the County Auditor, should
not be generally raised Except as regards
the U. P. grade) fifteen per cent, to
make it come up to its alleged cash value
as compared with other counties in the
State. The notice is short, but there are
good reasons why we should not be raised
and they should be set before the Board.
None of the members of the State Board
know any thing personally of our situa.
ton. they are governed entirely by re.
ports. How can they determine what
our property is generally worth. The
cash ivalue of property is governed
largely by its situation, products etc.
what comparison is there between pro.
perty on the Muddy River, or at Bunker
vile in this county, where, though fav.
ored by sun and soil, bare living is the
result OF hard work, and similar property
ON the Truckee or Humboldt rivers 800
miles away where markets are found at
some figure, for everything that can be
produced. There is none. With these
proposed changes, Lincoln will have
stronger cause of grievance against the
new system of equalization than any
other county in the State SO far as we
have heard.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Commissioner Haines Says Nevada
VIII be in ii.

Hon j. w. Haines, Worlds Fair Com
missioner from Nevada, tells the San
Francisco newspaper reporters that
though the bill for an appropriation OF
S25, 900 had been defeated in the Neva.
da Legislature, the State will be repre-.
sented at the Worlds Fair. The Exam.
iner reports him as saying:
AS for Nevada we intend getting to-.
gether as fine a lot of ores as can be pro.
cured anywhere. We think, in fact
that Nevada will lead in ores. Besides
this, we shall have a large exhibit of
cereals, fruits and vegetables In all
these we can make fine showing.
There is no better fruit raised any.
where than we have this yeai in the
Carson Valley. Other valleys stand
forth almost equally prominent. 1t is so
with the grain and vegetables. Ne.
vada has advanced SO rapidly in agricul-
tnre that we have no fears whatever as
to what we can do.
"As for Zhe $4,000, or thereabouts,
that we will reed we have received as
surance that the next Legislature will
appropriate it, and meantime several of
us have decided to advance what is
necessary to start it. Farmers will de.
liver the fruit and grain at the railroad
free of charge. The exhibit at the State
Mining Bureau of ores, with what
Superintendent Thomas of the Sutro
Tunnel, and various others will have.
will make an exceedingly creditable ex.
hibit in mining way. These will be
delivered free at the railroad, and the
railroad will give us at least halfr rate,
and l believe eventually free rate of
transmission. SO after all we will have
a good exhibit.
"We do not intend to erect building
for Nevada at Chicago but will use
part of the main building or an annex.
The Coast Geological Survey people re.
ported-and it was republished not long
ago by our State immigration Board
that we had in six valleys from 6OOO,.
600 to 1000, 900 acres of fine agricultural
land that could be irrigated by the
storage system at one dollar an acre.
We want this known to the world and
we want people to settle on this land.
There is no better way as starter than
to be well represented at the Worlds
Fair"

STATE EQUALIZATION.

1t is somewhat difficult to understand
why the U. P. or Oregon Short Line
grade, as it is sometimes called, should
entirely escape taxation in this county,
and what particular reason the State
Board of Equalization can give for leav-
ing it out. The law reads "that in all
cases where q railroad is located and is
being or has been constructed in or
through one or more counties in this
state" it shall be assessed for taxes, and
provides the manner in which the assess
ment shall be made The road from
Milford here is in process of construc-
ton, under the statutes we should think,
and not less than $500, 600 has been ex.
pended on it in this county alone. 1t
was assessed by our County Assessor at
100000. The Railroad company argues
that it is entirely unproductive to them,
and hence should not be assessed. That
it is so, is entirely their own fault. The
Railroad company's argument could be
brought forward with much more force
in favor of the mining Co. here, which
has expended vast amount of money in
improvements to develop the resources
of the county, but which yet remain un-
productive, but instead Of a decrease
they are to be raised Is per cent. on
their property valuation, vito others
under another order of the State Board.
If the R. r. Co.'S grade. as a grade, is
unassessable what about the right of way
they hold, largely in fee, and for which
they paid to various parties over $40, 600
This land heretofore has borne its por.
ton Of taxes, assessed to different owners
but now as railroad grade, partly fin.
shed, it is held exempt. The State
Board appears to have acted in the case
without full knowledge of the facts
involved, and we should see to it that
The mischief is corrected. There is yet
lime.

A PROSPECTIVE "REMINISCENCES.

Early prospectors in Nevada, of neces.
sty, passed through many remarkable
experiences, aud the glitter of the gold.
en- mirage was a vertible will.of-t he.wisp
to thousands OF these early treasure.
seekers. One of these experiences had
so remarkable climax as to form
vivid stanza in the lifs's history of the
relator Early in the spring of 1867 a
couple of these hardy Adventures start
ing from Cortez district, Nevada, with
the usual prospector's outfit, intending
to strike the Humboldt river near the
present site of Battle Mountain. After
travelling and prospecting for a couple
OF days they arrived little after dark at
a number of springs surrounded by
bushes, near the present location of
Lewis district. The day had been un-
umally hot and dusty and the sight Of
the cool water was a welcome one to the
exhausted men, who at once decided to
camp, and set about preparing their
frugal meal. A supply of water was
obtained for cooking, and both man and
horse partook abundantly of the cool
water, which 1.-THE prospectors remarked
to each other had peculiar taste resem-
bling sulphur water. They also noticed
that there was a disagreeable smell
around their camping ground, which
they attributed to the presence of the
dead body of a coyote not far from the
water. Supper over, the tired men
rolled themselves in their blankets and
were soon sleeping the sleep of the in
nocent.". At daybreak the following
morning they went down to the springs
for wash and cool drink, when, to
their horror, they saw the partially de-
composed body of an Indian, whom they
discovered had died of smallpox, lying
in the water about dozen feet from the
place whence they had obtained the
water the night before. A further in
vestigation revealed the fact that four
other Indian bodies were lying in the
springs, short distance from the one
first discovered, all bearing the unmis.
taxable marks of the smallpox scourge,
which they shortly afterwards learned
from number of Shoshone Indians, who
their camp, had nearly de-
populated their village. One of the In.
iiansl upon dropping his blanket re.
'ealed to the Mortified gaze of the pros.
'ectors his body covered with putrid
sores, resulting from the dread
disease. By some miracle the white
men escaped the contagion and made all
taste to leave the plague stricken
prings, but the experiences of that day
eft an impression that will never be
rased until the day of their deaths. -

Prospect the Ledge.

Prospecting necessarily contains great
elements of chance. Mining is consid.
erably different, as it possesses basis
for calculation, like merchandising or
manufacturing.
This element Of chance, says the Den.
yer Mining Industry, was rather forcibly
called to mind lately by reading the re.
port for the past half year of the Mount
Morgan company. One paragraph of the
report says that a curious fact in the his.
tory of Mount Morgan has just come to
light. Recent workings have taken in
the original prospecting trench sunk by
the Morgan Bros, and strange to say

RADIO without number. On the old Carl.
bou mine at Caribou, there was only one
chute Of ore that came to the
surface, and it was there that
the discovery was made. Had
the lode been opened at some other place
and found barren as it would have been

the surface. II such a thing can be
found, sink the shaft there. The most
