to be fooled by the price of silver bull

The impression has gone abroad
that the horizontal raises in taxation
throughout tho State does not apply
TO railroads, but to individual tax
payers. This is not true. Tho raise

Tribune.
Ifthe State Board OF Assessors in
tend 10 raise the railroad assessments.
its members should no, lose sight of
the fact that the individual TAXPAYER
Of Elko county will pay on valuation
10 per cent higher this year than they
paid on in 1881, as fixed 10y the Board.
The same rule applied to the South
cru Pacific Co.'S assessment in this
county would bring it up 10 SlI,7lO
per miie m i's main track and 1890
on The side trucK per mile.
III tins be done, the Board OF Com
missiouers can lower tho rate Of II Y
alton from Sl.15 TO Sl.G0, anu the peo-
ple will have no just grounds Of
complaint. But should tee State
Board favor tho corporations Mt the
expense OF the individual taxpayer,
it will raise n storm OF indignation
throughout tho State that will con
sign tho members Of tho Board 10
political perdition and sweep the OBJ
noxions law from the statute books.

was set ove n certain gate and scaled
so as to exclude all air. The seal tcs-
titled that these details were carried
out soon after the cr%ucilixion. When
opened by the soldiers of Cosrocs, king
of Persia, it was found to be burning
rs brightly as when first inclosed,
ove live hundred years before. The
Persian forces broke down the shrine
and poured out the oil hat was still
in the lamp, an act which is said to
have been followed by a great plague.
At the time the OLD monasteries of
England were demolished n lamp was
found in a tomb which was supposed
to have been burning since about the
year 800 A. d. How these things were
accomplished is a mystery but it is
supposed that the Romans understood
how to resolve gold into an oil, a few
ounces OF which would suffice to burn
a thousand years. If such m art was
ever understood it is now irrctricvably
