A New Claim Rureau.

The San Francisco Examiner has
established in Washington, D. c., a
bureau to be called "Examiner Blu
reau of Claims" which will be OF
great benefit to all persons having
claims against the Government of any
nature or description whatsoever.
The pension fees chargeable by attor-
neys have for some time been limited
by law, and under the recent act Of
March 3, 1891, transferring the juris-
diction of Indian depreciation cases
from the Interior Department to the
Court of Claims, Congress, not only
limited the fees, but in order to check
the rapacity OF the claim agents cam
celled all existing contracts and fee
agreements between client and attor.
ney. Congress was led to take this
action on account of facts brought to
to their notice that by a com bination
among the leading claim agents a
range of fees from 33H to so per cent
had been established. The vast mass
of Government claims are still I'M
protected by law.
Mr.. William X. Hearst, son of the
late Senator Hearst, and the proprie-
tor of the Examiner, proposes to at
tend through his new bureau to all
classes of cases before the depart
ments-pensions, patents, depreciation
claims and Indian claIms-for a small
percentage above the actual cost of
the work.
He has engaged several competent
attorneys and the necessary clerical
force of a large bureau, and they will
soon be at work. He has placed at
the head OF the bureau Mr.. John
Wedderburn OF this city, who has
long been the correspondent of the
Examiner, and had a remarkable ex-
perience few years ago in ferreting
out for Secretary Tracy some gigantic
frauds at the Mare Island Navy Yard.
The new bureau, being established by
responsible newspaper, has already
received the cordial endorsement of
many Western members OF Congress.
and is getting big pile of mail from
all sections Of The country.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSESSORS.


OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF
ASSESSORS AND EQUALIZATION,
CARSON CRY, April Ii, 1891
GENTLEMEN With the prescribed
forms herewith enclosed, the Board
desires to present a few suggestions
and instructions to assist you in your
assessing and in making your equali-
cation thereon.
The first aud most important part
of your duty will be just and equit-
able assessment of all property within
your county in strict compliance with
the law, and bearing in mind that the
term "fuIl cash value" means the
amount at which the property would
be appraised if taken in payment of
a Just debt due from solvent debtor
Yon will, of course, exercise your
best judgment in fixing the value of
the several classes Of property, re-
gardess of any former assessment. In
assessing live stock 1t is the desire of
the Board that you should classify
such stock, to wit: Thoroughbred,
graded, American common, ETC., and
fix the value of each grade.
Ii the Assessors and Commission
ers perform their full duty under the
law il will result in a very material
enhancement in the value of the az
greoate property of the State. and
will necessarily affect the taxpayer,
inasmuch as the rate of assessment
will be lowered in proportion.
Your particular attention is direct
ed To the fact that Section | of the
new Revenue law, approved March
%, 1891, copies of which have been
mailed you, lowers the State rate from
ninety To- seventy-tive cents ON the one
hundred dollars, and you are instruct
ed 10 conform thereto. You will also
notice that said law affixed a penalty
for any lack of duty on the part of
the Assessors; therefore, be diligent
in aseertaining all property within
your respective counties subject 10
taxation, aud you will thus great y
and the State Board in its duties.
Yours very respectfully,
Z. ID. VANDERLTETH.
Clerk of Board.

THE DEEP CREEK COUNTRY.
That Part of IL which Lies In White
Pine County.

The Deep Creek country, just now,
seems to be the all-absorbing topic in
Salt Lake city. The Tribune of the
18th says that every fresh arrival
from there adds new interest in the
country and verybody seems eager to
hear the latest news from that new Eli
dorado. A Tribune reporter met with
several men just in from some of the
districts, and they each gave encour-
aging reports, some of which were
even better than any heretofore given.
EAGLE DISTRICT.
John Tippet, recorder of Eagle min
ing district, in the Deep Creek coun.
try, arrived in the city yesterday.
The district is some twenty-five or
thirty miles southwest of the Deep
Creek station, hence it is in White
Pine county, Nevada, and embraces
part of Eagle range, or Kern noun
tains. Mr.. Tippett has lived there for
the past seven years, all of which time
he has been prospecting, working on
his numerous claims and taking out
enough ore to keep him and what help
he hired. He has shipped mostly
from his Harrison mine, located in
granite, having vein three to six feet
wide aud producing ore that went
300 to 800 ounces silver, with very
little lead or copper. He ran atunnel
on this vein 100 feet, in ore all the
way except some ten or fifteen feet.
On his Auna he has II shaft down
sixty feet aud has taken 100 tons of
ore out of the mine, which went 500
to 600 ounces in silver. The vein is
five and half To six feet wide, one
half being rich. while the other is
second class, but with mill would
pay well 10 work. 1t is chloride ore,
and hence cannot be concentrated
without great loss. The Paymaster
produces ore up to 100 ounces silver,
25 per cent lead and carries some iron
This vein is ten or twelve feet wide and
has been opened but little. The Ex-
change is new strike of three feet
ore, which runs well in silver and
some copper. Then there is the Bell
which samples As ounces silver. But
few persons are in Eagle as yet, prob
ably twenty in all, who are prospect
ing and working on their claims. The
Mint is another one of Mr.. Tippett's
properties. fourteen miles west of
Eagle in Pleasant Valley, and it SAM
Piles IS to $50 ounces silver.

According to the Silver State Lam
der county proposes testing the con-
stitutionality of the Act of the Legis-
lature creating State Board OF As
SCISSORS and Equalization. It is the
intention of the Lander county AS
SCISSOR to assess the Central Pacific
Railroad at $685. 900 per mile. Two
lawyers from Lander, who have been
deriving a handsome revenue from
railroad tax suits, are said to be at the
bottom of the movement. Some of
the best lawyers in the State say the
Act will not stand the test of the
Courts and advise the assessment of
the road by the several County As
SCISSORS.

Fish Springs.

L. J. Kearney Is in from Willow
Springs, says the Salt Lake Tribune,
where has lived the past twenty years
and has a ranch. The place is twelve
miles west of Fish Springs, which Is
now attracting so much interest
in mining circles. He says that
Fish Springs has now about 200
men. Speaking of that district he
said that the Galena is the most
promising property just now. 1t be-
long TO Chapman * Grant of American
Fork, who sent Teams out there few
days ago. These teams were loaded
with eighteen tons of ore and started
back. The sampling, assaying and
sale of this ore will be looked forward
to with much interest, since the ore
runs high in silver. The next most
promising property is the Emma,
owned by j. Preston and l.. Kilklosky
and later by them and Chapman IL
Grant, who have bought an interest.
They have about seven tons of rich
ore on the dump. Mr.. Kearney
picked up a sample OF this ore and
brought it in; and it was surprise
to those to whom 1t was shown yes
terday, being a mass of sulphurets of
silver running into the thousands.
The country is filling up with men
very fast. The weather there is worry
pleasant. Nearly all of the Deep
Creek county is devoid of water, and
that is its greatest drawback outside
of isolation from railroads. Mr..
Kearney has been solving the water
question by sinking arteslan wells.
lie has six of these, five of which
flow twelve per minnie and one flows
twenty gallons per minute. These
wells are i'm depth 81 to 1865 feet. Mr..
Bagley has well near which flows
sixty gallons per minute. Fish Spring
miners get their water from these,
the haul being twelve miles. The
water is very pure and sweet.

ton to the aggressive elements
of his party. He is the staunch
friend of tariffs, subsidies, pensions
and plumber OF all kinds. His
partisanship is of the most robust
character, and he is never troubled
with sympathy for the people. This
latter is very strong point in his IA
Nor. He VIII be renominated because
Blaine will permit it, as he did once
before. Harrison has the party organ
ization at his back. The machine and
the classes are with him. and no one
else-save Blaine-can harm his candi-
dacy. John Sherman can not; neither
can Mckinley, should he be elected
governor of Ohio. Quay may back, as
he doubtless will, q dark horse against
Harrison, but it is desperate chance,
and the game OF a discarded and disap-
pointed political bankrupt.
The administration, with it's McKin-
ley tariff, its reciprocity humbug, its
subsidies, its pension legislation and its
billion-dollar congress, must be vindi-
Gated. Another potent argument in
Harrison's favor: the Democratic can
didate, whoever he is, will have grand

CRY OF MEXICO Sept 1.-The press Of
Guatemala and San Salvador is very insult
ing to the United States. In referring 10
the City Of Panama incident, the former
claims the United States was weak in
acceding to the exactions of Salvador, and
the latter says the United States, knowing
its strength, IS arrogant toward smaller ma
tons
The telegram dated the 2lst and pub
lished in the United States that President
Ezeta of Salvador had, it was said,
telegraphed TO Iguacio Mariscal, foreign
minister to Mexico, is untrue, but
the fact is, as stated in these dis
patches of the 18th, and had no reference
to war between Guatemala and Sal
vador, but to Guatemala melting
Salvadorans to rebellion, which
Ezeta requested Roderiqles, his
representative here, to request Mariscal 20
stop in the interest OF Central American
peace.
There is no immediate danger of war in
Central America, and even the Nicaraguan
incident is matter of personal spite OF
Nicardgua's president. who thinks he sees
d conspirator in every one who does not
think as ne does.
