The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1891-10-24
Ex-senator Robert Briggs.

OF whose sudden death in San Fran
cisco on the l4th instant, brief men,
ton was made in the NEWS last week,
is deserving of more than passing
notice. Letters from San Francisco
say his wife was the first to find his
lifeless body in his room at the Com
mercial hotel.
Mr.. Briggs was a native OF Missouri
and came To the Pacific Coast in the
early COS. He mined at Angels
Camp, Calaveras county, in 1872 and
'63, and came to Nevada In 1854 and
to White Pine in 1869. At the break.
ing out of the Ward excitement in
1875 he went there in the employ of
the Martin White Company, in whose
service he spent several years. 1t was
while there that he with w. G..
Lyons and w. n. McGill) located the
now famous Monitor mine. With
very little capital TO start In to de-
velop the property the partners had
uphill work for some time. Those
who knew the difficulties they had to
contend against tell us that Rob-
ert Briggs was the leading and most
indefatigable spirit in the new com
pany In developing the property up
TO paying basis. A year or two Of
arduous toll by the partners made
the mine a dividend-paying property
and fer several years thereafter the
Monitor Company prospered. In
1856 they sold out to an English COM
pany for high figure.
In 1884 Mr.. Friggs was elected
State Sentor from this county and
served his term OF four years with
credit TO himself and his constituents.
In 1888 he removed to San Fran
cisco, where he has since resided.
Mr.. Briggs was a man of far more
than ordinary intelligence, push and
perseverance, warm in his friend
ship. but bitter I'm his hatred. OF late
years domestic troubles and too
heavy indulgence in intoxicants had
clouded his brighter nature, and
when the writer met him In San
Francico last Spring he appeared
broken down both in health and
spirits. He leaves wife and one
child-a little girl about 0 years old.
He has crossed River. May 1t be all
sunshine with him there.

FINAL ACTION
OF the State Board Of Assessors and
Equalization.

The Carson News of last Sunday
gives the following as the final action
of the State Board of Assessors in the
matter of the horizontal raise in the
several countless
Resolved, That the valuation of the
property as shown on the entire ass
essment roll of Storey county for the
year 1891, including the property
assessed by the State Board of Asses
sors and Equalization, excepting all
moneys, he increased by the addition
of ten percentum, so as to make said
assessment conform to the actual cash
value of all the property assessed aud
contained on said roll at this date,
and to equaize the value of the taxa
BILE property of the several counties
in the State for the purposes of taxa
ton.
A similar resolution and order was
adopted with reference To all other
counties in the State, except as 10 the
per centum, which per cent. is as
follows:
Douglas county, 90 per cent; Elko
county, Is per cent; Churchill eoun.
ty, 20 per cent; Washoe county, Is
per cent; Humboldt county, ID per
cent; Esmeralda county, 10 per cent ;
Ormsby county, ID per cent; Lyon
10 per cent; Lander county, 10 per
cent; White Pine county 10 per cent:
Nye county, 10 per cent; Lincoln
county, 10 per cent; Eureka county.
per cent.
The above resolution and order was
adopted by the unanimous vote of the
Board, each aud every member voting
in the affirmative.
With this increase the total assess
ed valuation of all the property in the
State will amount to over $50, 600, 900,
an increase over the valuations of last
year of about $4,000. 900. Of this
increased valuation the railroads will
pay upon a valuation of over &c.,
1000, an increase of over $4,000
900 on last years assessment. With
the State rate reduced to rs cents
the railroads will pay for State pur-
poses, $4,000 more in taxes to the
State, than they paid last year with
the State rate at 80 cents.

Runaway.

A lively and very exciting runaway
occurred 10 town last Saturday even
ing, just as tie Cherry Creek stage
came in. The stage stopped at Mr..
Graham's residence to let off Miss
BERTHE Stewart, who was a passenger.
On starting down the hill, the horses
became frightened and ran at lively
rate. The driver, Dell Leach, held to
the lines and kept them straight in
stead of turning up Nam street to the
stable. At Riepe's corner they struck
post, but with no damage. Then
they went flying up Bridge street,
which is crooked and narrow. At
this time every body was on the street
and all that could be seen was streak
of dust. Horsemen and footmen went
in pursuit, expecting to find the driver
thrown out and perhaps badly hurt.
But he held on and with wonderful
skill kept the flying team straight in
the road. Above the brewery grounds
the horses came to stand still, and
Dave Jolly got in to assist Leach in
bringing the team back to the stable.
When the horses were turned down
the hill they started on the run again
and the two men were unable to hold
them, and they came back over the
same road they went, being brought
to final halt few Yards from where
they first started. Fortunately neither
horses nor driver we're hurt, and the
vehicle sustained but little injury.

THE STATE BOARD.
A Few Kicks from LOvelOcks Re-
garding It's Action.


A Lnve!ocks correspondent of the
Reno journal thus pays his compli-
ments to the State Board of Assessors
Grandiloquent Grey and Horizontal
Horton made short stop here yester-
day. They were rot accorded such a
reception as men holding the positions
they do should have had. There was
no cannonading, or anything of that
kind. People felt more like using II
rope. The horizontal raise of twenty
per cent. on every poor devil, whether
it was justified or not, leaving the
railroads out, has caused considerable
feeling to exist, and the sentiments of
the people are to contest this matter.
Petitions are already being circu-
lated and numerousy signed, urging
every taxpayer in the county not to
pay any more than just rate of tax
alton. Two dry seasons and hard
winter, has left this end of the State
poverty-strcken. Everybody is try
ing to get start again and built up
the county. and place it on the same
footing it had been before those de-
strnctive seasons came and took away
nearly all they had Stock men have
gone in debt head over heels to re-
store their ranges. Farmers have done
likewise, and all are pulling to restore
the prosperity of the State. During
the campaign last election, we were
told that expenses would be cut down
aud everything done to lift the State
out of the rut it had fallen into. But it
seems that Twenty percent. Tore
son, Grandiloquent Grey, Equalization
Egan and Horizontal Horton have
male up their minds to pay no atten-
ton TO the campaign promises, but
cinch the taxpayer horizontally, for
getting the railroads, and when asked
the reason, they say they did not un-
derstand how the railroad was stu
ated, and that it is now too late t.
remedy the mistake.
People out this way don't think il
is too late and it is possible that il
placing the individual and Horizontal
raises they may have a shance to ex
plain something about the methods
before taxes are collected at this end

A Sad Accident.

Lille, the fve-year.old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. @. P. Cross, of Reno,
was accidentally killed Tuesday
morning of last week, by the dis
charge of Winchester rifle in the
hands of her uncle, Granville john
son, boy about thirteen years of age.
Young Johnson was emptying the
magazine of the rifle for the purpose
of cleaning it, and just as the little
girl, who was playing, passed in front
of the muzzle of the gun one of the
cartridges exploded and struck the
child near the navel, penetrating the
abdominal cavity and infiicting a
wound which proved fatal.
