OF course there are some forms OF
personal property which can be seen
and appraised by the assessors, almost
as readily as real estate, though not
with so correct an estimate of value.
The objection to taxation of chattels is
not that none of them can be taxed: it
is that so many of them can be and are
reached, while so many are not, that
the tax is necessarily unequal and I'M
just. The important question, there
fore, is. upon what class does this tax
bear most oppressively? If taxes were
levied only upon land values, or upon
the values of land and buildings, would
the smaller property owners, ans cspe.
cially the farmers, pay more or less oil
the whole taxes than they do now?

JUsr as society grows so do the com
mon needs grow. and so grows this
value attaching to land-the provided
fund from which they can be supplied.
Here is a value that may be taken with
out impairing the right of property,
without taking any thing from the pro-
Queer, without lessening the natural re-
wards of industry and thrift. Nay,
here is value that must be taken if
we would prevent the most monstrous
of all monopolies. What does all this
mean? 1t means that in the creative
plan. the natural advance in civiliza-
ton is an advance to greater and
greater equality instead of to more
and more monstrous inequality.

As we have seen, the value of land
is at the beginning of society nothing,
but as society develops by the increase
of population and the advance of the
arts, it becomes greater and greater. In
every civilized country, even the new
est, the value of land taken as whole
is sufficient to. bear the entire expenses
of government.-Progr and Poverty.
IN the thicl<ly settled parts of the
United States there is enough land to
maintain three or four times our pres
ent population, lying unused, because
its owners are holding it for higher
prices, and immigrants are forced past
this unused land to- seek homes where
their labor will be far less rroduc i've

Last December the Supreme
Court of Nevada adopted rule
permitting briefs and transcripts
written on type writer's to be filed
and used in that court Accord
ingly a number of type written
briefs and transcripts have been
filed there which have proven very
unsatisfactory, being in poor condi-
ton, often SO dim that they can be
read only with great difficulty, and
full of mistakes, sometimes very
serious ones.
On July 9th, Hon. Trenmore COT
fin made a motion to rescind the
new rule and to re-enact the old
rule requiring that these documents
shall be printed, stating that nine
tenths of the lawyers in Nevada de-
sired the change. The Supreme
Court took the matter under advise
ment and it is to be hoped that the
Honorable Court will see fit to grant
Mr.. Collins motion.

The Dredge.

The Bennett Amalgamator which
was purchased by the Carson River
Placer Mining & Dredging Co., ar
rived last week from Denver and
has been placed upon the boat. AZ
ter being set it has been found that
some alterations will be necessary
not only to the dredge part but in
the gearing and adjustment of the
machinery. Mr.. Bennett, the in
ventor is daily expected here to take
charge and make all these necessary
adjustments. Work, however, is
going on preparatory to these
changes. The President of the COM
pany, Mr.. Forester has been on the
ground for several days past Prof.
Hawkins, of Albany, N. Y, one of
the Directors has been in Dayton
for the past two weeks, and both he
and the President with the Super
intendent are doing all they can to
expedite matters so that an early
start toward making a practical
demonstration can be made. Prof.
Hawkins in connection with the
President has made close exami-
mutton of the richness of the mate
rial in the river and they have
demonstrated that the company has
very rich and paying property to
work. In addition to the value of
the deposits in the claims of the
river controlled by the company,
they have found that the banks
along the river are composed of
! gravel beds, which contain quanti-
ties of free gold, each pan showing
from six to eight colors. 1t is ex-
pected that this gravel will be made
paying material, for the amalgama-
tor. Although regular work has not
been commenced, skeptics doubling
the efficiency of the amalgamator
after seeing it, are beginning to
change their opinions respecting it.
Mr.. BENEFITS arrival is anxiously
awaited and it is confidently expect
ed that the machinery will be in
good working order in about two
weeks.

Mason valley Mines.

There has been considerable ex-
element in and about Mason Val
ley for the past few days over the
report that Il 5-stamp quartz mill
will soon be erected by Dan En-
merson at Kinds Hot Springs to
work ore from the mines in Harri-
son District. The ore in the mines
in this District is quite rich in gold,
assays running from $25 to $400 per
ton. Several parties have left the
Valley this week to make more To-
cations in the District. This Dis
trict is but few miles from the Hot
Springs and at the Springs water is
plenty to run a small mill. Mr..
Emmerson will put up an arrastre
to work ore for the present. When
he erects the mill it is his intention
to run it with a gasoline engine, as
wood is very scarce in the District.
Work on most of the mines has been
suspended for a time, but the own
ors of claims expect to put men to
work just as soon as the haying
season is over. Ore taken from the
Cyclone mine, owned by Mullen,
MCGOWAN and Watkins, horns from
SIS to $35 per ton in gold. Experts
who have visited the District say
that the ore and gold taken out re-
sembles the gold found. in Pine
Grove more than any other they
have seen. Report says that men
are to be put to work on the Valley
View, American Flag and Friday
mines this Winter. 1t would be
quite boom for the Valley to get
quartz mill, flour mill and beet
sugar factory in operation, and all
three are bound to come in the near
future. PRosPEcToR.

This mine, which is located near
the Ludwig copper mine in Mason
Valley, about Is miles from Green
field, and owned by Dan Emmerson,
Jack Mcconnell and Jim O'Hara,
is showing some very fine ore. A
tunnel 200 feet in length has been
run on the ledge and the further in
they get the better the rock is. A
small batch of ore from this mine
was worked at the Taylor mill, in
Silver City, some time ago, and it
yielded about $40 per ton. The
rock is gold with very little silver
in it. Mr.. Emmerson and his part
ners have purchased the gearing and
wheel for an arrastre, and will erect
it near Kinds Hot Springs, where
they can get plenty of water to run
rit. There is a good road from the
mine to the Springs, and the dis
lance is not great. About $50 tons
of rock is now ready for crushing,
and will be worked as soon as the
arrastre is built. tbs expected that
this ore will work about $50 per ton.

Decrense OF Cattle

County Assessor Brann estimates
that the number of beef and stock
cattle in this county will be con-
siderably less this year than last.
This shortage is accounted for by
the fact that owners of cattle in
both Mason and Smith Vallies sold
their cattle largely early this season,
and they were driven out of the
county before the Assessor could
get around after them.

Two parties by the name of Lea
Wit and VanAlstine who were ped
ding root beer and bitters around
town last week Friday with team
we're arrested by Sheriff Donnelly
for doing business withouta license.
The District Attorney suggested that
the easiest way out of the matter
would be for the parties to take out
a license for peddling with a wagon,
which they did, and they were not
prosecuted for breaking the law as
they did in the first place.

Last Sunday morning a horse
which Joe Douglass, OF Virginia,
drove to this place with, ran away
and smashed up the buggy to which
he was attached. The animal start

Mr.. Douglass was about to get into
the buggy. The old gentleman was
thrown down, but received 10 inju-
ries, and the horse continued on
down the street. In front of the
TINES Office the buggy collided
with porch post and knocked it
out. The animal was caught in j.

The trial was by jury, and although
there was nothing but circumstan-

the jury only took two ballots be-
fore rendering a verdict of guilty.
Mr., Lothrop made very able ar
sument for the prisoners, but it was
too plain a case to let them GO The
witnesses for the State were Messrs.
collin, Thacker, of Wells, Fargo e.
Co., and Constable Epson and Dep
uty Constable Campbell, of Reno,

seeing the men in Dayton on the
night of the robbery. Judge Ris-

anything to say for themselves, but

Many of the people of Silver City
